138. Sheep shearing
In mid-December, Australia is getting hotter and hotter.
Not only people are hot, but animals are also hot, and in fact, the highest is only in the twenties, but because it is usually cool, you can feel it when the temperature rises slightly.
It's like eating pork for a year, and occasionally tasting mutton makes me feel panicked.
The eighty sheep in the pasture wore thick sweaters, and even the previously sleek sheep were not spared, and this guy was no different from his companions when he put on a sweater, except for the longer limbs.
With an authentic merino wool, Yang Xiaobei was re-accepted by the Qingqing Prairie family, but he didn't seem to appreciate it, and it was often a sheep standing in the open space and wandering.
For this reason, the sheep was bitten by the German herd, but he still went his own way, and in the end, Hey and the bastard were also drunk, how happy you are.
In Australia, wheat is grown from January to June, when sheep graze freely on enclosed pastures.
From July to October, the wheat is in the growth stage. The following August to October is the sheep dehairing and shearing period. From November to December, the wheat matures and the harvest season begins, when sheep can graze into the harvested wheat fields, which is Australia's famous mixed agriculture, where wheat cultivation and sheep farming form a virtuous ecological cycle.
South Australia is purely livestock farms and no wheat is grown. Grass grows much faster than wheat and can be harvested five or six times a year.
Benjamin's ranch is mixed, she grows a large wheat field and is now busy harvesting wheat at home.
Normally, farmers and ranchers will shear their sheep around September when the weather is still hot, which is good for both people and sheep, and it will be very anxious to do these tasks when the weather is hot.
The sheared wool sticks to the sweaty body very hard.
Back at the ranch, everyone had a happy holiday.
On the far side of the ranch, the construction team has already started construction according to Kaibi's drawings, and it will take shape in less than half a month.
A horse farm is not as cumbersome as building a villa, you only need to build a shed and a fence.
The three ranchers who sold Emperor Wu a thousand calves kept asking when the delivery would be, and they had already prepared the trucks.
Emperor Wu planned to spend a few more days, and the newly planted grass there had not yet grown tall.
"BOSS, I HEARD YOU EXPERIENCED A STORM ON SOLAN ISLAND OVER THE WEEKEND. Turks said, he had a lot of tan, and his beard was thicker.
"Fortunately, I have time to tell you about the whole experience, and I still think it is incredible in retrospect. ”
Tex smiled, "So, took down your little girlfriend?"
This guy is a gossip monster Shu Li, and he is very interested in the emotional gossip of Patricia and Emperor Wu, which doesn't match his rough appearance at all.
"Actually, no, by the way, Cabriola is actually Lady Caitlin's daughter. ”
Everyone was surprised to hear about this relationship, and then burst into warm applause.
Patricia snorted and said, "Yo, you have already met the mother-in-law!"
Tex answered, "Maybe the boss knew that Catelyn had a beautiful daughter, and the idea managed to get his hands on it. ”
"Fuck off guys, we still have a lot of work to do. Emperor Wu pointed to the leisurely flock of sheep in the distance and said.
The wind is mild and there is a light breeze, which is the best time to shear sheep.
Only Mr. and Mrs. Frank had experience in the ranch, and the other three were chicks in this area, so the lambs had to pray that they would not be assigned to the three novices, or they would all lose a piece of skin.
Emperor Wu rode 7K to drive eighty sheep into the enclosure, and these guys were raised by high-quality pasture and could definitely sell for a good price.
Baa... Baa... Baa...
It was dry, and the lambs were still wearing their cotton coats for the winter, which they had long wanted to be cut. All the sheep ran happily into the fence, but only the sheep stood vigilantly outside, swearing to die.
It thinks that entering it means the end of its life and that it will be sent to slaughter, and the animals have a premonition of this. When Sonic Cat was sent to the slaughterhouse by Mr. Kane before, he was also struggling desperately.
The appearance of the sheep is very funny, a slender and beautiful leg sheep is wearing a thick sweater, and the wool does not match it at all.
Emperor Wu rode 7K to chase after him, and the sheep spread their hooves and ran wildly, making the other sheep who were originally happy think that they were in danger and ran out of the fence one after another.
Turks hurried up and closed the fence door. For a while, the pot was fried inside, and the sheep were boiling.
Fooled! Death, death!
Seventy-nine sheep almost fill the small enclosure, which was specially built for shearing.
On the north side of the fence, near the wooden house, there is a small wooden door, which allows only one sheep to pass through.
Outside the small wooden gate is a small path, along which the sheep enter the "shearing shed".
The skilled Uncle Frank sat inside, smoking a cigarette and waiting for the sheep customers who came to the door to "get a haircut".
"Xiaoqiang, what's going on?" asked Uncle Frank.
"The sheep seem to be happy with their hairstyles and don't want to go to the barbershop!"
Turks and Pa carry sticks to drive the sheep near the edge of the fence.
Keep them in the middle as much as possible, and if you squeeze them to the edges, you're likely to get out of the cracks in the wooden fence.
As he spoke, a little lamb deftly came out, and it ran wild in fright.
The sheep in the pen bleated, as if wishing that the little lamb would go to the wolf to save them.
Hey and the bastard immediately chased after him, and the howling dog ran out from the other side, and the three big dogs barked wildly, scaring the poor lamb very much.
In the end, the lamb ran into the warehouse, and the lamb jumped down desperately without locking the basement door with the sheep shearing tools.
Boom!
The Howling Dogs didn't want to jump into the basement of the Black Hole and crouch on it. Hey ran to the grass to find Emperor Wu.
Yang Xiaobei is sensitive enough, and it is difficult to catch it.
Back at the warehouse, Emperor Wu took a flashlight at the basement and didn't see the lamb. There's a generator down there, and it's going to be a nuisance if it gets into the device.
Emperor Wu beckoned the three dogs to go out first, so that the lamb would not be afraid.
Hey, Jerk, and Howling obediently went to the cabin to play with Oscar.
During this time, the four dogs in the ranch made rapid progress, and Emperor Wu once thought that the three dog brothers had low IQs, but now they seem to be all smart.
Uncle Frank built a big house in the yard for the four dogs, sheltered from the wind and rain, enough for them to make a fuss in it.
In the past, large scissors were used for sheep shearing, which was labor-intensive and inefficient, and now electric scissors are used, and skilled hands can shear more than 200 sheep a day.
Closing the warehouse door, Emperor Wu went down the soft ladder to the basement with a flashlight.
Compared to the hotter temperatures outside, it's much cooler here, like in a well.
In Emperor Wu's impression, there were only two cellars below, one for the power supply and the other for locking.
He was much bolder now than he had been the night he had arrived, but he was still a little scared, and he had no idea what was hidden in the mysterious locked room.
As soon as I got down to the cellar, I heard a bleating.
Scared Emperor Wu a lot, this little guy is going to do something!
Next to the power supply, the little lamb was lying there, looking around with his brain.
