Someone told me that I should switch to using shipping containers instead of my current method.
Unfortunately, when my cattle arrived in the US, they were all dead. I was told containers "would just work".
After some experimentation, we managed to get our cattle in a container by building a system that correctly managed food and waste. Then we found a partner who had successfully packaged sheep and so we just used that. Unfortunately, they appeared to have a leak in their waste management system, and the container overflowed and all the sheep died. We did not have this problem when the sheep were able to fill the entire hold with their output.
Clearly the idea that shipping containers just work is a gross oversimplification. In fact containers seem to be complex thingamabobs with multiple points of failure.
