The farm animals do not understand the "time of day" on a human clock, so the farm work occurs around the animals rhythms, not the "clock on the wall". Moving the time of day backwards or forwards just changes what number is on the clock face when the cows are ready to be milked.

- phaedryx 6y agoFrom my experience, cows need to be milked pretty early in the morning (e.g. 5:00am for my friends); early enough that it will always be before school regardless.
- pwg 6y agoNo, the cows need to be milked on the cows schedule, and the cows don't know what human time it is when they need to be milked. Moving the clock does not make the cows change their schedule.
- tshaddox 6y agoRight, as I said, the cows' schedule does not change based on what the clock says, but whether the children are there or at school does change.
