And that, dear City Cousin, is unadulterated BS, only believed by people who have never taken smart pills*.
No matter what the clock says, there's sunrise and sunset, with the same number of hours in between in either system; and that is primarily what most critters go by. The dairy cattle, OTOH, get tended to twice a day, at the same same time, regardless of day length or clock setting, 12 hours apart. Whether it's 6 & 6 or 9 & 9 or noon & midnight, makes no difference to them, as long as it is consistent.
*What's a smart pill you ask? We get them for free; they are small, round, brown pills that grow naturally overnight in the sheep pastures. Most people get noticeably smarter after taking only one or two. Slow learners may need up to a half dozen before they wise up.
And that, dear City Cousin,

I don’t exactly run around with ‘step in dungarees and have a stalk of straw in my lips’, but I am far from a Country Cousin.
Since we are ‘picking gnits’ here, sunrise sunset has only a slight bearing on the situation...are they not ‘programmed’ about every 12 hours or so?
Which is what I was implying to (not my original joke) that it doesn’t matter what the hands on the clock say, when the milk is ready, it is ready...
I know I am being ‘picky’ but the reason I brought up sunrise/sunset is that at in say Alaska and at the Poles there may be almost no sunlight.
Now, I realize that cows and chickens in that clime are about as rare as palm trees etc....
Like ‘they’ told us about Adak AK- there is a bathing beauty behind every tree. Trouble is there are no trees.
This DST/animal reaction ‘COULD’ be likened to Clark Kent waking up in modern times and having got the ‘secret signal’, was frustrated when all he saw were kiosks, not booths.... <: <: <:
