All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Score each donkey's body condition, fatty neck, and teeth on the farm in Denton, TX. Donkeys were the one common US equid category still missing from this library entirely -- the existing `equine_body_condition` standard uses the Henneke 9-point horse scale, which misreads donkeys because they carry fat differently (a cresty neck, uneven neck/hindquarter deposits) and a horse-calibrated eye or scale doesn't transfer. Denton, TX is home to the American Donkey and Mule Society (ADMS), established 1967, the world's oldest resource for donkey and mule information and registry services, still active today. A palpation-plus-tape-measurement round gives a donkey keeper an honest set of numbers a horse-trained eye would miss.

Fund it for $165. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

A calm handling setup (catch pen or haltered animal accustomed to hands-on contact)
A soft measuring tape for the Fatty Neck Score's neck-thickness component
A herd/keeper recording sheet or app with animal ID and BCS/FNS/DCS + prior-round fields

Steps

1. Approach and restrain the animal calmly; use a second handler if the animal is not accustomed to hands-on palpation.
2. Palpate the six Body Condition Score sites -- neck/shoulders, withers, back, ribs, belly, hindquarters -- and assign a whole or half-point BCS from 1 (poor/emaciated) to 5 (obese), per the published scale.
3. Measure neck thickness with a soft tape at the mid-neck point and combine with palpation of the crest to assign a Fatty Neck Score (FNS) 1-5 -- do NOT skip the tape measurement, since FNS by palpation alone is less reliable and the published study found FNS the strongest driver of dorsal-profile shape/size.
4. Assess the incisors and chewing ability and assign a Dental Condition Score (DCS) 0 (normal) to 2 (poor).
5. Record all three scores per animal, dated, with animal ID.
6. Compare against the animal's prior round to track a trend, not just a snapshot.
7. Flag any animal scoring 1-2 or 5 on BCS or FNS, or 2 on DCS, for a donkey-experienced or equine veterinarian.
8. Log the full round (all scored animals, dated) and route flagged animals per the decision rules.

What counts as done

Body Condition Score (1-5) assigned by palpation over all six sites (neck/shoulders, withers, back, ribs, belly, hindquarters), never by visual assessment alone
Fatty Neck Score (1-5) assigned with a tape-measured neck-thickness component, not palpation alone
Dental Condition Score (0-2) assessed from incisor appearance and chewing ability
Comparison against the prior round's scores recorded as a trend, never a diagnosis
Any animal scoring 1-2 (thin) or 5 (obese) on BCS or FNS, or scoring 2 (poor) on DCS, flagged for a donkey-experienced or equine veterinarian

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

What is promised, and what is not

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788260438629_sazq9br","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.

Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
