Feedlot Sorting Rail Under Starlight

A heavy steel rail curves along the muddy feedlot lane in Chugoku, its surface dull and wet from the clearing storm. Starlight spills over the scene, casting a faint blue hue on the rusted hooks and the thick metal bars. The ground glows softly with reflected light, highlighting the wet mud and scattered feed remnants. Wooden posts line the path, their dark wood against the pale sky. In the distance, the faint outline of cattle rests quietly, their forms blending into the night shadows. The rail stretches into the darkness, a silent sentinel of patient labor. One hook holds a tattered piece of red cloth, fluttering slightly in the cooling air.
