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

Score each sow's body condition with calipers on the farm in Hendersonville, TN. This standard's own third source, PIC's industry-presented outcome data (n>37,000 sows), comes from the company's North America headquarters here.

Fund it for $190. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. 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: Each sow scored 0-5 by caliper + mm value recorded per sow + Gestation or lactation stage noted + Trend compared to the prior round + Sows outside 2-3 range flagged for review + Emergency signs routed to a vet now
This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

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

Bring

A Sow Body Condition Caliper (or an equivalent validated device with the same 3.8cm-tall, adjustable-width arms)
A sow-side recording sheet or app with animal ID, parity, and gestation/lactation stage fields
A stall/pen setup allowing safe access to the sow's loin without entering the stall unsafely
Prior scoring-round records for trend comparison

Steps

1. Approach each sow calmly at the loin (over the last rib, at the widest point of the back) with the caliper arms set to the animal's frame width; avoid startling the sow or working from an unsafe position relative to the stall/pen.
2. Place the caliper across the spinous and transverse processes and read the angularity measurement in millimeters.
3. Convert the mm reading to the published 0-5 score using the defined bands (0=0-5mm, 1=5-10mm, 2=10-15mm, 3=15-20mm, 4=20-25mm, 5=25-30mm).
4. Record the score with the sow's ID, parity, and current gestation/lactation stage (condition targets differ by stage — a sow is expected to lose some condition during lactation, so a single low reading right after farrowing is read differently than the same reading in mid-gestation).
5. Compare against the sow's own prior round(s) for a trend, and flag any sow scoring outside the target range (2-3 on the published scale) for a nutritionist/veterinarian ration review.
6. While at each stall/pen, observe for lameness, inability to rise, prolapse signs, refusal to eat, or visible cachexia — these route to a veterinarian immediately, ahead of and separate from the routine scoring report.
7. Log the full round (all scored sows, dated) and route any flagged animals per the decision rules.

What counts as done

Caliper scores recorded (0-5 scale with the measured mm value) per sow with ID, parity, and gestation/lactation stage
Comparison against the prior round's scores recorded as a trend, never a diagnosis
Sows scoring outside the target range (score 2-3 on the published 0-5 Knauer/Baitinger scale) flagged for a herd veterinarian/nutritionist ration review; the industry-presented 9-16mm caliper-reading range (PIC, ASAS Midwest meeting) is recorded as separate directional context only, never converted into or substituted for the published 0-5 score
Any sow showing lameness, inability to rise, prolapse signs, refusal to eat, or visible cachexia flagged for immediate veterinary attention, ahead of the routine report

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_1790573445393_rr7nrwj","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
