If the population of rabbits increase will the population of snakes increase?
Nature is like a system in equilibrium. If a change in any component nature, quality or quantity is imposed on it, it will try to suppress that change and try to nullify it. So if the number of rabbits increase that change will be nullified by many factors other than predators. Diseases, shortage of food etc. can happen. Also, the increase in the number of rabbits will provide a good habitat for the snakes and thereby help in more breeding. But this will happen only up to a particular limit after which there will be no more change.

How do you improve cattle breeding?
There are more ways than one to improve your breeding herd, and each is just as important as the other:Good herd health programExcellent nutritional programBreeding management (preg testing, semen testing, shortened breeding and calving period, etc.)Strict culling managementSelect for desirable traits for low cost and effective cow-calf managementFeeding is the fundamental part of improving cattle breeding. Improving the herd's overall nutrition with better pasture management and a great mineral program is a part of improving cattle breeding for both cows and bulls. Rations should be based on the cow's needs, but also on what nature can provide if you are raising cattle according to Nature's laws.
