Somatic cell count mastitis screen, dairy goat/sheep herd — Starkville, MS.

Test milk somatic cell count in Starkville-area dairy goats and sheep, then confirm any high result before treating it as mastitis. This standard's own source publication was written and researched here, so a herd near Starkville can act on the same species-specific honesty limit the source states directly rather than a transplanted cattle-style number. Udder infection in dairy goats and sheep can go unseen while it is still subclinical.

Offer to pay $190. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A farm worker draws a milk sample from a dairy goat or sheep into a lab kit or handheld cell-count meter at On-farm / Starkville, then logs the count in the herd log.

$190 proposed

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.

Proof

SCC measured via DHIA lab or on-farm handheld meter + Result compared to the animal's own prior baseline first + CMT score, if used, confirmed by lab SCC, never alone + Sudden rise flagged over any fixed number + Treatment decision routed to a veterinarian under VCPR

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

This is milk-quality screening only, never a mastitis diagnosis or a treatment choice. Goats and sheep run a naturally higher baseline SCC than cattle, so the California Mastitis Test alone is unreliable here; any suspected case routes to a veterinarian under VCPR.

The full safety list for this job:

• Never apply a cattle-derived fixed SCC threshold (e.g. 200,000 cells/mL) to a goat or sheep result; the species' own normal range runs far wider and depends on breed, parity, and stage of lactation.
• A CMT-positive result on its own is not a diagnosis in this species; confirm with laboratory SCC before acting.
• Antibiotic choice, dosing, and any milk-withdrawal period are always the veterinarian's decision under VCPR, never DIY.
• An animal with visibly abnormal milk (clots, discoloration), a hot/swollen udder, or systemic illness signs routes to a veterinarian urgently regardless of SCC result.
• This packet is independent of and not affiliated with Mississippi State University or its Extension Service: named as the real, verified home institution of this standard's own foundational publication's authors, not an endorsement or partnership.

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

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.
