It is hard sometimes.

So what it used to look like was me getting up like 4 or 4.30.

going out, walking, making sure that the fences are clear.

It's a system, right?

So everything stays inside the fence.

So the fence is what you should pay attention to most.

And if your fences are good, your animals will stay inside.

The next thing you do is you're going to pay attention to your animals and look at the animals and see if anybody's in distress or if there's anything, if they're giving you any kind of feedback.

They're talking to you all the time.

You just have to be...

emotionally available enough to hear them animals talk to you your dog talks to you birds talk everybody talks to you uh so once you get that connection where you're in tune with what's going on in your farm they will tell you if something's off just on the schedule like cows keep a schedule like they want to eat at a certain time they want to go under this tree at a certain time and if you go out there in the morning and one cow's not there something's wrong

they don't miss.

So you now have to go figure out what's going on.

Has she lost her rank and needs a minute?

And cows have emotions.

I had to learn that.

And she lost her rank, so she may be out here soaking under a tree for a while before she comes back to accept her position.

And then when I come in, it's now time to look at the mechanisms of the business.

What do we have on tap today?

Are we doing orders?
