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 cow scored 1-9 by the Herd or Sprott protocol + Animal ID, reproductive stage recorded + Trend compared to the prior round + Cows at or below 4 near calving flagged + Nutrition review timed before next breeding season + Down or sick cattle routed to a vet now

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

How this work is done

How this work is done

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

Bring

  • A calm handling setup (chute, alley, or pasture observation at close range) that lets the scorer both view and palpate each animal safely
  • A herd recording sheet or app with animal ID, reproductive stage (pre-calving/post-calving/breeding season), and prior-round score fields
  • Reference photos/chart for the 9-point scale (rib, spine, hook/pin, and tailhead fat cover descriptions)

Steps

  1. 1. Observe each animal from the side and rear for overall shape, then palpate the rib cage, spine (backbone prominence), hooks and pins, brisket, and tailhead for fat cover, following the Herd/Sprott descriptions for each of the 9 score levels.
  2. 2. Assign a whole-number score 1 (severely emaciated) to 9 (excessively obese); most healthy range cows fall in the 4-7 range, so use the full scale honestly rather than clustering scores near the middle.
  3. 3. Record each animal's score with ID and current reproductive stage (pre-calving, post-calving, or breeding season) -- the target changes by stage, so context matters as much as the number.
  4. 4. Compare each animal's score against the herd's prior round to track a trend, not just a snapshot.
  5. 5. Flag any cow scoring <=4, especially within roughly 60-90 days of calving, for a nutrition/ration review with the herd veterinarian or a beef-cattle nutritionist -- early enough in the calendar that a feeding change can still affect the next breeding season's outcome.
  6. 6. Note any down, lame, or visibly sick animal for immediate veterinary attention, ahead of finishing the routine round.
  7. 7. Log the full round (all scored animals, dated, reproductive stage noted) and route flagged animals per the decision rules.

What counts as done

  • Scores recorded 1-9 per animal (visual + palpation over the ribs, spine, hooks, pins, and tailhead per the Herd/Sprott protocol), with animal ID and reproductive stage (pre-calving, post-calving, breeding season) noted
  • Comparison against the prior round's scores recorded as a trend, never a diagnosis
  • Any cow scoring <=4 within roughly 60-90 days of calving flagged for a nutrition/ration review with the herd veterinarian or a beef-cattle nutritionist, explicitly timed early enough to still change the outcome before the next breeding season
  • Any down, lame, or visibly sick animal 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_1790798836396_f2mgf4b","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
