I hate this. Some people do go outdoors in the winter and why can't we have an afternoon of daylight? What is wrong with just leaving it, the clocks, alone?

Saskatchewan in Canada permanently is on Central Standard Time. The industry there is mostly agriculture, and cows requiring milking don't understand DST.
I had to find out if you were correct, so I asked Spock (ai) "Do cows in Canada observe Daylight Savings Time?"
"Cows don’t observe Daylight Savings Time themselves. In Canada, though, most dairy farmers follow DST, so the time they milk the cows shifts. Cows generally prefer routine, so many farmers adjust the milking schedule gradually to keep things consistent for the cows during the time change."
