Lisko's American life

The machine is a brush cutter, which can increase the cutting efficiency of ryegrass by more than 5 times. It harvests about 1 ton of grass per hour, consumes 0.8 liters of fuel (mixed fuel, costs about 6 yuan), and blade loss costs 1 to 1.5 yuan.After the grass is cut, it can be neatly arranged near the mouth, and the appearance is not much different from the uncut, which is convenient for collection and baling.

Therefore, this machine is also a large-scale item that the ranch stocks.

Seeing that the cowboys were getting busy, Li Sike took out the beer in the canteen refrigerator and greeted everyone to come.

"Hey, rooster, come over for a beer."

It was Locke who ran over first. He took out a bottle from the ice basin and gnawed it open with his teeth. The gurgling bottle hit the bottom.

"Huh~Comfortable" He squinted his eyes and felt the coolness.

The cowboys also gathered around, each with a bottle.

Everyone drank beer together, chatted and bragged, feeling the comfort of harvest.

The pasture now has more than 1,000 cows. Excluding the lavender planting area and rye planting, as well as vegetable planting, there are not many places left for herding cattle. The rooster thinks that this number of cattle is just right. It's full.

The total area of ​​Liske’s ranch is 500 acres, which is also one of the best in the vicinity, and of course it is far inferior to some tens of thousands of acres of ranch.

His cowshed covers an area of ​​160 acres. Excluding the central lake, the available area is still good. In theory, it can breed about 4,000 cattle. However, because of the poor efficiency, the customers of Li's Ranch can’t digest that much. Because of the beef and by-products, the cattle inventory has been reduced like other ranches. If the cattle are released, they will immediately contact the cattle dealers to enter the cattle ranches, keeping the number at around 1,200.

If you raise more cows, cowboys will not be able to take care of them. Adding manpower will increase the cost, and it will also happen when the herd is large. Bulls with strong physiques will attack humans, so many bulls will have their horns cut off. And in a society with advanced modern technology, there is already a smooth way of managing cattle, and bloodshed will basically not happen.

Many bulls in the pasture have also been castrated. The bulls after castration can better feed their fat and grow rapidly. As for the breeding of cows, there is also a set of solutions.

There are special breeding companies on the market. They will send a special person to the cattle farm. The salary is paid by the breeding company. The frozen semen is 5 dollars. The conception rate is 30%. The cattle elimination rate is 25%. The fetal interval is 13 months. Do not use the same period of estrus.

The cowshed is also specially constructed by Lisko at a high price. It adopts advanced low-roof horizontal ventilation and constant temperature cow house technology. All the cows are raised in one cow house. The cow house is 375 meters long and 127 meters wide, with 200 fans installed. There are 20 rows of cow beds in the house. The walls and the top of the house are equipped with tin foil insulation materials, which are insulated. 130 cows are raised per 100 beds, but the cattle herd is very healthy.

The Lee Ranch currently has only 200 milking cows, and the main income is the sale of beef cattle and the supply of vegetables.Li Sike is also equipped with a special milking machine to liberate the hard work of the cowboys.

The efficiency of the milking machine is very high, with an 80-position turntable for milking, over 600 milking per hour, and Li’s ranch often takes tens of minutes a day to complete the work.

After the last meeting of ranchers was held, Lisko was passing by other ranchers’ homes and looked at the three-and-two travel company to conduct inspections, training the cowboys to receive tourists correctly, and the ranchers also attached great importance to it. Other things are not good. Safety issues are a must. If there is a tourist injury incident in the early stage, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the tourism incident that has just started here.

There are many people in the town who make some unique handmade cowboy products under the mayor’s organization, such as saddles, riding whips, cowboy boots and cowboy suits. They also order many special badges with the name of each ranch printed on them. , Outlined with gorgeous swashes, souvenirs for tourists, this is an invisible brand promotion.

The whole of Garrison seemed to act. Even Leiter from the gun shop in town bought a lot of goods and a large quantity of bullet reserves for this incident, because he heard that tourists come from many countries, and there are many countries where guns are banned. The person in has never touched a gun, so he is also looking forward to the upcoming business.

Lisko listened to Les's chat and said that the first batch of tourists will arrive in half a month.

Although Lisko did not join the ranks of these ranchers who were preparing to travel, he was not excluded. Everyone knows that his ranch has regular customers and he does not want tourists to disturb the normal work of his ranch.

Bo was persuaded by Lisko and decided to give it a try. After an operation, his mood improved a lot, and he felt a kind of great enlightenment. In many cases, although he was still stubborn, he slowly learned to compromise afterwards. Of course It is also inseparable from all the ranchers nearby beating the side drums.

So now the roosters often run between their own ranch and Li’s ranch. The two are not far apart, and the work of Li’s ranch is just a matter of arranging. The winning ranch is small, so you don’t need to worry too much.

Colt’s ranch has been reorganized, and he also paid for more than 20 cows from Lisko’s ranch. He was enthusiastic about developing a milking experience for tourists. Lisko also suggested that he buy a few docile cows. The quark horse, because of the river in the ranch, has increased the fishing activities of tourists.

The ranch in Les has carried out hunting activities, and Lisko is not optimistic about him, because the Rocky Mountains behind the town have a wide variety of animals.Representative large mammals among the undulating ridges are black bears, grizzly bears, mountain lions and wolf sharks.This has a certain degree of danger, and Lisko sees tourists as an unstable factor like a group of children. Maybe any idiot was injured because of his negligence, and it would be finished.

Of course he raised this question to Les, and Les has no good way to prevent it. He can only guarantee to send more cowboys to guard.

Nearby ranchers often gather for meetings to talk about which one has its own characteristics and avoid business conflicts. If you milk your cows, I will do herding. If he has fishing, I will do cattle cows. If you have sheep shearing, I will do herding. Just do horseback riding.

They even raised money to buy a few buses, specifically to open a route from Denver to Garrison to pick up tourists.

Female high school students in the small town were also called together to train as tour guides to introduce local customs to tourists.

Many ranchers refurbished the redundant cowboy dormitories, resurfaced the roof, replaced the glass, and some even repainted the walls, intending to live in them.

The whole quiet town is like a clockwork, and everyone is busy.

Liske is also happy to see everyone full of vitality. The arrival of tourists will drive the town’s economy and make life less embarrassing for people here.
