moving of the cows

moving the cows, one of my daily chores, is one of the most enjoyable parts of the day.  the sounds are quiet—just me and them.  building temporary paddocks—all sized differently based on a subjective scale which factors weather, terrain, the herd, and my own schedule all into consideration.  it’s problem solving, just like in middle school math.  herd “a” times days “y” divided by cows “w” minus my personal schedule “x” to the power of “g” grass.  A x Y / W - X  ^g = how to move the cows.  it’s science.
