Capturing tips:
Capturing on the pasture is best when the sun is behind you (avoid capturing opposing strong sunlight)
Avoid mixed lights on the target cattle (when they are in the shadows, but some parts are covered with sunlight)
In the barn capture the animal with light sources behind you (make sure the surrroundings behind the cattle is neutral)
When the app suggest so, change the environment or time (later in the afternoon, or cloudy days, roofed folds instead)
The whole body of the cattle must be visible, make sure the cattle is in the middle of the screen, Its back, head and legs clearly visible.
Avoid capturing in deep grass, or hay, since the whole body must be visible
