Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 77: Preparation before the arrival of tourists

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

Therefore, this machine is also a large-scale item that is always available on the ranch.

Seeing that the cowboys were getting busy, Lisko took out the beer from the refrigerator in the cafeteria and called everyone over.

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

Locke was the first to run over. He first took out a bottle from the ice basin and gnawed it open with his teeth. The gurgling bottle bottomed out.

"Hu~ Shu Tan" He squinted his eyes and felt the coolness.

The cowboys also gathered around, each handed a bottle.

Everyone drinks beer together, chats and brags, and feels the comfort of the harvest.

There are more than 1,000 cattle in the pasture. Except for the lavender planting area, rye planting, and vegetable planting, there is not much space left for cattle grazing. The rooster thinks that this number of cattle is just right. Full.

Lisko's ranch has a total area of ​​500 acres, which is one of the largest in the neighborhood. Of course, it is far less than some tens of thousands of acres of ranch.

His cowshed covers an area of ​​160 acres. Except for the central lake, the available area is still good. In theory, about 4,000 cows can be raised. However, due to the poor efficiency, the customers of Li's Ranch cannot digest that much. Therefore, like other farms, the stock of cattle has been reduced. If any cattle are released, they will immediately contact the cattle dealer to enter the slaughter, and the number will always be kept at around 1,200.

If there are too many cows, cowboys will not be able to take care of them. Adding manpower will increase the cost. Also, if the herd is large, it will also happen. Bulls with strong physique will attack humans, so many bulls will have their horns sawed off. , and in a modern society with advanced technology, there is already a set of smooth ways to manage cattle, and bloodshed will basically not happen.

Many bulls in the pasture have also been castrated. The castrated bulls can be better fattened and grow rapidly. As for the breeding of cows, there is also a set of solutions.

There is a special breeding company on the market, they will send a special person to the cattle farm to take charge, the salary is paid by the breeding company, the frozen **** is 5 US dollars/branch, the conception rate during estrus is 30%, the herd elimination rate is 25%, and the fetal spacing is 13 months. , do not use contemporaneous estrus.

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

There are only 200 milking cows in Li's Ranch. The main income is the sale of beef cattle and the supply of vegetables. Lisko is also equipped with a special milking machine to free the cowboys from the hard work.

The efficiency of the milking machine is very high. The 80-bit turntable milks more than 600 cows per hour. Li's Ranch often takes dozens of minutes to complete the work every day.

After the last rancher's conference, Lisko watched the travel companies of the two groups conduct inspections while passing by other ranchers' houses, and trained the cowboys to properly receive tourists. The ranchers also paid attention to it, after all. Others can be bad. Safety is a necessary guarantee. If a tourist injury occurs in the early stage, it will definitely give a heavy blow to the tourism event that has just started here.

There are still many people in the town who make some characteristic cowboy handmade products under the organization of the mayor, such as saddles, riding whips, cowhide handmade boots for cowboy suits, and also ordered many characteristic badges with the name of each ranch printed on them. , outlined in gorgeous squiggles, a souvenir for tourists, which is an invisible branding campaign.

The whole of Garrison seems to be in action. Even Leiter from the gun shop in the town has bought a lot of goods for this incident, and a large amount of ammunition reserves, because he heard that tourists come from many countries, and there are many countries that ban guns. The person who 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 group of tourists would arrive in half a month.

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

After Lisko's persuasion, Bo decided to give it a try. After one operation, his mood improved a lot, and he felt a sense of enlightenment. Although he was still stubborn, he slowly learned to compromise after that. Of course It is also inseparable from all the nearby ranchers playing side drums.

So now the roosters often run on both sides of their own ranch and Li's ranch. The two families are not far away, and the work of Li's ranch is just arranged~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The Bode ranch is small and does not need much. worry.

Colt's ranch has been refurbished, and he also bought more than 20 cows from Lisko's ranch. He is excited to carry out the milking experience for tourists. Lisko also suggested that he buy a few docile horses. The quark horse, because there is a river in the pasture, has increased tourist fishing activities.

There is a hunting activity on Les's ranch, and Lisko is not optimistic about him, because there are many kinds of animals in the Rocky Mountains behind the town. The large mammals that are representative of the rolling ridges are black bears, grizzly bears, mountain lions and wolves. There is a certain danger in this, and tourists are a group of unstable factors like a group of children in Lisko's eyes. Maybe some idiot gets injured because of his own negligence, and it's over.

Of course, he raised this issue with Less, and Less had no good way to prevent it. He could only make sure to send more cowboys to guard.

Nearby ranchers often get together for meetings to talk about which one has its own characteristics and avoid business conflicts. If you have milking, I will do herding. If he has fishing, I will do cows. If you have shearing, I will do it. Just do horseback riding.

They even raised funds together to buy a few buses, specially opening a route from Denver to Garrison to pick up and drop off tourists.

The female high school students in the town were also called together to train as tour guides to introduce tourists to the customs.

Many ranchers have renovated the redundant cowboy dormitories, re-roofed, replaced the glass, and some even repainted the walls, intending to accommodate tourists.

The whole quiet town seems to be winding up, and everyone is busy.

Lisko is also happy to see that everyone is full of energy. The arrival of tourists will boost the town's economy and make life less embarrassing for the people here.
