Claim 14:
15. An apparatus comprising:
machine-vision logic circuitry configured and arranged to, for images of a livestock feed area captured by a plurality of networked cameras:
characterize an amount of available feed in the feed area depicted in the images over time, and
characterize the presence of livestock in the feed area depicted in the images over time; and

feed-control logic circuitry configured and arranged to:
assign time-based condition values to the feed area based on the characterized amount of available feed and the characterized presence of livestock provided via the machine-vision logic circuitry, and
output an instruction characterizing the feed in the feed area based on the assigned time-based condition values.
