Project 1 — Ranch Record Card

One page. Five layers. We build a livestock record for a made-up place called Howdy World Ranch, using Fort Worth Stockyards longhorns as teaching examples — not as a claim that we own them.

Project 2 — Garden Watch

Coming next season. Same five layers, backyard beds instead of cattle.
