Claim 2:
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein
the machine-vision logic circuitry is configured and arranged to
characterize the amount of available feed by detecting a level of feed available in a feed container accessible by the livestock for feeing, and
characterize the presence of livestock in the livestock feed area by characterizing a number of livestock present at the feed container; and

the feed-control logic circuitry is configured and arranged to
assign the time-based condition values by assigning a score to respective variables representing the level of feed and the number of livestock for one or more points in time, and
output the instruction by providing a notification in response to the assigned scores of the variables satisfying a condition.
