My goats have requested a night light in their shed.

The bimbette reporter asked the farmer how he enjoyed the extra hour daylight in the evening.
“Don’t. I just have to get up an hour earlier to get up at the same time and then I am ‘stuck’ with another hour to work at night”.
“You don’t understand. Just sleep the extra hour in the morning and adjust your schedule accordingly”.
FARMER: “Miss, them cows and chickens got to be tended the same ‘time’ every morning and evening, they don’t go by any clock”.
Reminds me of the city slicker who moved to the country and asked the township to remove the deer crossing road sign from near his property.
This is a fact.
None of my critters observe the time change.

And that, dear City Cousin, is unadulterated BS, only believed by people who have never taken smart pills*.
No matter what the clock says, there's sunrise and sunset, with the same number of hours in between in either system; and that is primarily what most critters go by. The dairy cattle, OTOH, get tended to twice a day, at the same same time, regardless of day length or clock setting, 12 hours apart. Whether it's 6 & 6 or 9 & 9 or noon & midnight, makes no difference to them, as long as it is consistent.
*What's a smart pill you ask? We get them for free; they are small, round, brown pills that grow naturally overnight in the sheep pastures. Most people get noticeably smarter after taking only one or two. Slow learners may need up to a half dozen before they wise up.
