I personally don't like his herd share model. If I'm going to do it, which I might in the future, I'd assign people to a specific ear tag. They'd pay for the animal upfront no different than a farmer and then pay that animals share of inputs.

Would love to pick your brain more about that specific topic some time if we can ever get DMs to work and share signal usernames lol
I think the main reason he does do that is because if it dies, he doesn't want the xustomer to be impacted, which is why the costs are higher than a setup without that feature.
