103.Training the Pastoral Priest (II)

The team slowly advanced towards the bank of the Huaxi River, and the bastard and Hey followed on both sides, which made Emperor Wu very worry-free.

Now there are only about 40 cows, and when the 1,000 calves bought from the distant pasture are delivered, there are Demu brothers who are busy.

Emperor Wu took his mobile phone and sent a small video to Kaibi, and now he can't wait to tell her about his every move.

At this time, Kaibi was already studying in the library, and she posted the video of Emperor Wu shooting the herd on her FB, and left a message, "Come on, dear! I'll see you in a few days!"

Kebbiola is well-known at the University of Truth, and the comments below express her incomprehension of her relationship with a rancher in a talented way.

There are also those who despise Emperor Wu's yellow identity, and some Australians hold anti-Chinese sentiments.

Emperor Wu spat and spitted, I don't understand a hanging, the beauty has to have a relationship with your group of hangers, what's wrong with the rancher and the yellow race, get out, there is a chance to beat you until you serve.

This is naked jealousy.

Emperor Wu's emotions were overflowing, and he immediately logged in to the trumpet to send a private message to the person who scolded him, and then closed the account and continued to drive cattle.

Oscar in the distance couldn't bear the loneliness and played behind the team, Emperor Wu didn't have high requirements for it, as long as he could guard his homeland, he usually became a military follower.

Although there is no threat of wolves on the ranch, dingoes are a big problem.

The wild dog that was found last time never appeared again, and Emperor Wu felt that the valley on the south side of the ranch had a pack of wild dogs, and sooner or later it would slip to the pasture.

When the time comes, a big war will be inevitable, and Emperor Wu will not relent, because they are protected animals, he wants to let the wild dogs know that this is not the place where they should come.

The big brown bear, Hector, is still roaming the woods on the shore of Huaxi Lake, where food is abundant, and there is no need to worry about it invading the pastures for the time being.

Besides, can Emperor Wu feel its emotions through Shennong's spiritism. In the past half a month, Emperor Wu felt that his aura reserves had risen to a new level, and he would not be controlled by it as if he had escaped control of the bear for the first time.

There are a few small holes in the verdant meadow, which indicates that the pervasive rabbits are back, and they also like the improved pasture taste.

Emperor Wu kept calling out to the running Demu brothers, letting them know that what they were doing now was extremely correct, that the animal husbandry potential in the bodies of the bastard and hey was activated, and that some things were self-taught, such as adjusting the herd team, they would drive the skinny calves to the middle, leaving the strong ones on the periphery.

It doesn't seem to be useful now, but it's a great strategy in case you need to drive cattle over long distances one day.

Mainly to defend against dingoes, the dog pack often cooperates to hunt large prey such as kangaroos, wombats, sheep, calves, monitor lizards, etc.

A pack of twenty wild dogs dared to attack a small ranch. Due to the increasing number of Australian dingos and domestic dog crossbreeding, crossbred dogs are one-fifth larger than the average dog. These crossbred offspring are more ferocious, often simply biting livestock to death rather than feeding them.

Due to the lack of natural predators and the high fertility of the wild dogs, the number of wild dogs is increasing.

A few years ago, a rancher in NSW came up with a way to deal with a pack of wild dogs, raising donkeys, which have become Australia's most fashionable livestock bodyguards since two or three years ago.

Andrew Martin, a rancher in Queensland, has 60 donkeys and cares for nearly 10,000 sheep.

Donkeys are highly loyal and vigilant, and if they are trained, they can be "shepherd donkeys" to protect their flocks. When a wild dog attacked, the donkey would rush out, use its hooves as a weapon to attack the wild dog, and make a cry to alert the owner to come to the rescue.

Emperor Wu is also thinking about this problem, when the time comes, does the distant ranch need to buy a few donkeys, but I always feel that this matter is unreliable, let the donkeys guard the pasture?

Oscar couldn't stay idle, and followed the two brothers to imitate.

"Boss, when Hans used to be around, he would be attacked by a pack of wild dogs about twice a year, and they howled like wolves, and at night they were terrifying, and you don't know where to jump out of nowhere. Frank rode the old smoker back to Emperor Wu's side.

The Youde Mu brothers drove the cattle forward, and the two chatted.

"How many cows will you lose?" Emperor Wu asked, not having seen the attack power of wild dogs with his own eyes, he could only analyze them by listening to cases.

"In the past, there were more than just cattle in South Australia, and Hans used to raise Merino lambs for a few years, and the number was about 200. But every year, more than two dozen are killed by wild dogs. ”

Frank took a drag on his cigarette and continued with squinted eyes, "Two sheepdogs were once killed by wild dogs, and they howled around the cabin, and old Hans's shotgun seemed no threat. ”

"That's why Mr. Hans only keeps cattle. Emperor Wu guessed that this was the reason why there were only cattle in the Nanao pastures before.

That's right, after the last lambs had matured, he sold the rest of the lambs, because he was often frightened, and the lambs grew so thin that he barely recouped his costs. ”

Emperor Wu nodded, "Compared to lambs, the chance of a calf being bitten to death is much smaller. ”

Uncle Frank laughed, he shook the big smoking gun in his hand, "BOSS, on the surface, it seems that this is indeed the case, but in fact, the fate of the calf is not much better than that of the lamb." ”

Emperor Wu didn't understand, obviously the calf was several times stronger than the lamb, and the back muscles were tight, it seemed impossible not to be the opponent of the wild dog.

"Lambs are more herd than calves, and when threatened, the merino sheep huddle in a circle, and the adult sheep are outside to protect the lambs, while the herds are often not so united and will run around screaming," Frank laughs and says. ”

It seems that training calves to hold is an essential task, and wild dogs mainly rely on group attacks, and a single wild dog is not enough to pose a threat to calves.

The two were discussing the protection of the calf when a gray shadow suddenly flashed in the bushes in the distance.

It's Lao Xue, this guy quickly rushed towards a piece of grass, and the running speed was too fast!

A hare nesting in the grass and silently gnawing on the grass didn't have time to react, and was bitten by Lao Xue on the neck.

Lao Xue did not take the dead hare to Emperor Wu to ask for merit as before, but directly tore it and ate it.

Its teeth look sharp, and hare meat is as brittle as paper in its mouth.

Lao Xue's hunting method is much stronger than that of Australian dingo, and the advantages of felines are undoubtedly revealed.

"It must have been lying in ambush there for a while, this guy doesn't look like a house cat, probably a descendant of a feral cat. Frank said.

Emperor Wu also agrees with this, Australian cats seem to only have wild cats, and Lao Xue retains the nature of wild cats, which are aggressive and like to prey on rabbits.

Who put the kitten behind the warehouse on a stormy night, and it will definitely not be Lao Xue's biological parents.

Exotic species of feral cats have become the other pole of the Australian animal kingdom, although they prefer to move alone and are not as aggressive as packs of dingoes.

Someone once saw one in Victoria's Yarra Range National Park, the big black cat looked like a large black panther, and according to those who saw it, it was the size of a large German Shepherd.

The Victorian government has always denied the existence of giant black cats, but many tourists have seen them in person.

Another thing that made Emperor Wu puzzled was that he later learned that many kittens could not drink milk, and many cats were lactose intolerant, they did not have lactase enzymes and could not digest the lactose in milk, so symptoms of soft stools and diarrhea would occur a few hours after drinking milk.

Kittens can drink small or moderate amounts of milk, but they must not rely on milk for growth and development.

On the night of the pick-up, Emperor Wu had no problem feeding it milk, and in the following days, Emperor Wu fed it many times, and the kitten did not have any adverse reactions.

Maybe it's one of the feas?
