I’d argue that herd sizes are one step removed. 

When the bank manager pushed a farm consultant at the farmer they’re obliged to listen and that advice often includes, “more cows, buy in feed, more lending from the bank”.

Banks need to take the blame here, not grinding up the farmers who are stuck in the middle.
