Listen Before the Lead Call

Speed
The yard was almost ready for a soft call.
Suzy inhaled to shout. Spike held a pause.
They listened for calves, wind, and gate noise first.
Spike modelled quiet space — tools remind.
Adventure Cap wanted a dramatic rescue. Care said soft check.
Tools remind. Soft landings still happen.
Suzy spelled S-U-Z-Y once for joy, then back to care.
Finish kind: listen, then one soft lead call.
Young Farmer habit: notice, offer space, finish kind.
No Santa invent. Cap cattle stay cattle.
Listen first. Lead soft. Finish kind.
Listen first. Lead soft. Finish kind.
