Tough 5 AM get-ups for me for the next week or so, but I love the late light.

I am with @Maythehorsebewithme, though my get up time is 4am and it will be tough for a bit. But I am so thankful for daylight savings time. Love the extra time in the evening when it is not dark.

our livestock remain on solar time, they pretty much do not care about humanās time

But use the same principle and go to bed earlier tonight since 8p will feel like 9p!
It is the other way around. 8PM will feel like 7PM so it will make it hard to fall asleep, and then the morning will seem early.

I still have to do the little memory cue āSpring forward, Fall backā. Itās the only way I turn the clock the right direction. Iām hoping one of these years, they will pass a law to either continue DST all year, or not change to it. I prefer DST forever, but if not I can settle for anything that doesnāt make me change the time.
A friend belonged to a big church, and it was a long trip since she lived out in the country. A long time ago, the time change happened in the fall, and they made the effort to get the kids ready early, drive to church. However, they were the first ones there. Yes, they should have turned the clock back, but instead turned it forward, so they were two hours early. Iām hoping to never to that.
Pros and Cons;
The conclusion of the article;
āGoing to work in the dark at 8 a.m. in the dead of winter? Waking up with the sun at 4 a.m. in the middle of summer? When it comes to alternatives to our current āhybridā model of time, pick your poison.ā
āMaybe changing the clocks twice a year isnāt so bad after all.ā
I always get it confused!!

āSpring forwardā isnāt so bad for me, but the āfall backā change is a pain in the butt because all the animals want to be fed an hour early, and it takes about a week of listening to everyone complain before they get settled on the new schedule! 
Big fan of DST here! Takes a few days to adjust but I love, love the extra light after work.

Barn chores in the dark this morning - ugh. Had to break out my lighted beanie cap to pick the paddock. Not a fan of DST.
My morning barn chores are always in the dark, not matter where we are in the clock schedule. With what time I have to be to workā¦no chance of morning barn chores with daylight. But darn, the extra time at night means I can drive home from work and not feel frantic to get outside and clean before it is dark and I too am trying to find manure in a paddock with the help of a headlamp.
And bonus, I can actually ride during the week.
Love daylight savings time. Wish we would keep it.

What is this lighted beanie of which you speak??
I have and use the LL Bean lighted baseball type hat, not the beanie. But I am sure their beanie is just as good as their other hat.
We voted it out in CA, but apparently it requires an act of congress as well.
It does. That was mentioned in the article I linked upthread.
Two weeks ago we had trailered four of goats out to Hollywood for TV show taping, none of the four wanted to stay there
