Heavy snow has been falling for three days intermittently, and the entire 'Dream Ranch' and even the Helena area have become a real world of ice and snow, and there are even snow disasters in many places.

Dream Ranch is well prepared for the arrival of the blizzard, and there is no need to worry about the state-of-the-art barn and even the central air conditioning to control the temperature.

On the side of the beef cattle herd, Old Bob built many sturdy snow shelters in five woods to shelter from the wind and rain, and more than 60,000 beef cattle spent peacefully under the woods and snow shelters.

Previously, the 'Dream Ranch' had prepared a large amount of green fodder and hay, which came in handy.

Every day, transport vehicles loaded with snow chains travel between the campsite and the warehouse, supplying large quantities of green and hay to the cattle to ensure a normal energy supply for the cattle in the snow and ice.

Because of the effect of the 'Space Spirit Spring', the nutritional content of the forage in the 'Dream Ranch' was much higher than that of ordinary forage, which also made it possible for the state of the cattle to not be greatly affected even in this extreme weather.

When the weather is clear, the cattle even spontaneously leave the woods to forage in the nearby pastures, cutting through the thick snow to eat the grass rich in water and nutrients.

In Bob Sr.'s 56 years of experience on the ranch, he had never seen such a top-notch pasture that could still maintain its vitality under snow, and this can only be described as a miracle.

The more he came into contact with the BOSS family, the more Old Bob felt that they were shrouded in a layer of mystery, which really deserved to come from a mysterious China with a long history.

I heard that the history of the boss family has been recorded for more than 300 years, which is 100 years older than the founding of the United States, which is simply a terrifying number.

Now, whether it's the pasture, the herd, or the Maple Leaf Castle, there's something surprisingly happening. Old Bob would have taken it for granted.

…………

Everything in the ranch was running normally, which made Xiao Feng not have to be distracted to deal with anything at all, and after three days of staying at home, he also felt that his bones seemed to itch.

Looking at the weather news on TV, the snow clouds that shrouded Montana have completely dissipated for the next few days. Although the temperature will remain around -5 degrees Celsius, it will be sunny.

At this time, Xiao Feng proposed to hunt in the forest, and immediately received a positive response from the two old men!

Seeing the men so elated, although the women's army was a little worried, they didn't want to pour cold water on them, but silently began to prepare various equipment for their men to enter the mountain.

Because of the heavy snow covering the mountain, horseback riding and driving are not the best choices, and the best choice is naturally sledding. And it's a unique dog sled!

After entering the 'Dream Ranch', Xiao Feng had long expected the current situation, and spent a lot of money to introduce the famous Alaskan Malamute and raise it in the ranch's dog farm.

Today, in addition to sled dogs, the dog farm also has more than 100 sheepdogs imported from the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', which is an important part of the ranch's defense force. For this. Xiao Feng has added 10 official establishments to the dog farm, and these employees are dedicated to taking care of these adorable dogs.

Peacetime. In addition to training, these sled dogs occasionally work with cattle dogs on the pastures, and their performance is also remarkable.

Of course, after the heavy snow falls in winter, it is the best time for them to show their talents!

3*8, 24 sled dogs plus 10 hunting dogs led by Baiyun Black Soil, the whole team has up to 34 dogs. You have to bring a lot of dog food alone.

Compared to ordinary earth dogs, dogs need more energy under extremely low temperatures, so top dog food such as large pieces of beef is indispensable.

In Xue Lihua's words, these men are purely prey who have nothing to do when they are full and have nothing to do. It's not necessarily worth the price of these dog foods.

Although there is some chatter, Xue Lihua still classifies and packages the dog food very intimately, so Xiao Feng and the others don't have to work too hard when they are in the wild.

After the transportation is solved, there are supplies for three people, accommodation equipment, etc., which is also a lot, although there are pre-built forest cabins in the forest, but just in case, windproof snow tents, polar sleeping bags and other equipment must also be brought.

After all the time, everyone found that hunting in the mountains under the condition of heavy snow closing the mountains is purely a matter of high resource consumption, and if it is calculated from the economic cost, it will definitely be a loss.

However, for today's Xiao family, a little cost is naturally not a problem, the key is that 'it is difficult to buy a favorite if you have money'!

Xiao Feng himself has lived in Ginkgo Village since he was a child, and followed the old lady and Xiao Siye around the mountains, and he has been deeply imprinted with hunting in his bones.

After Xiao Jinyang came to the 'Dream Ranch', he touched the gun every day, and slowly regained the feeling of being in the army.

As for Xu Xiangnan, although he is over sixty years old, he was born in the army, and he has been fighting with the army since he was a child, and his blood is also filled with a kind of passionate romanticism, and he has been looking forward to hunting in the mountains for a long time.

Compared with others, Xiao Feng, who is not bad for money, is much easier in the preparation process of various materials and equipment, and only the best ones can be selected, and there is no need to waste time calculating at all.

The night before departure, the family worked hard for a while, and finally packed up all the equipment and supplies, and waited for tomorrow!

After eating in the morning, Xiao Feng and his party packed up in front of the castle, said goodbye to their families, boarded the sleigh, and left with a roar.

Of course, the three men carried a lot of guns and ammunition, in addition to hunting guns, Remington loose bullets, and short guns for self-defense, Xiao Feng even put two automatic rifles in his bag, just in case.

You must know that if you encounter wolves in the Rocky Mountains, it is quite dangerous, and with the two old men, Xiao Feng has to be cautious.

The little guy Yu'er is crying and wants to go out with her father, but such a big little doll, everyone doesn't dare to take it to the forest, after all, there is still a certain danger.

Xiao Feng had no choice but to coax for a long time, promising to bring him delicious and fun things when he came back, and signed a large list of unequal treaties before he could get out.

…………

The golden sunlight poured down from the sky, and it was particularly dazzling under the reflection of the snow, Xiao Feng did not dare to be sloppy, and instructed the two old men to wear windproof sunglasses, which was the best way to prevent 'snow blindness'.

Compared to the smoothness and slowness of a horse-drawn sled, the speed of a dog sled is much faster, and the maximum speed of the sled can even reach 40 kilometers under the drive of eight huge sled dogs weighing more than 60 kilograms.

The average sled dog weighs about 40 kilograms at most, and it is extremely rare for some to reach 50 kilograms. However, in the dog farm of the 'Dream Ranch', the sled dogs that can be used to pull sleds generally weigh more than 60 kilograms, thanks to the nourishment of the 'Space Spirit Spring'.

Today, there are more than 200 sled dogs in the dog farm, and 160 adult dogs have been selected from them to train every day to put these 20 groups of dog sleds into the upcoming 'Dream Ranch'.

In the future, dog sledding will become a very distinctive landmark project of 'Dream Ranch'!

Because of the thick snow covering the mountains, sitting on the fast-moving sleigh, Xiao Feng suddenly had the illusion of flying in the clouds.

If it weren't for the dark black that the forest in the distance revealed from time to time, Xiao Feng would have almost lost the reference of his travel, and only felt that he had integrated into this piece of heaven and earth.

Because of the 'Space Spirit Spring', these sled dogs have better endurance, even with hundreds of kilograms of baggage and an adult, they can still maintain a speed of 20 kilometers per hour and run steadily for two hours.

The hounds led by Bai Yun and Heitu were not bad, and they followed the sleigh calmly, and the two of them also had the leisure to chase some prey at the location where they found, making chickens and dogs jump along the way.

In the words of old Bob, he had never seen such a good cattle dog, tame, obedient, powerful, and incredibly intelligent.

These sheepdogs are all stable after years of screening at Mirror Lake Ranch, and have the bloodlines of Tibetan mastiffs, hunting dogs, and blackbacks, and although they are not pureblooded dogs, they have the advantages of these high-quality dog breeds.

Two hours later, Xiao Feng stopped to let the dogs rest, and fed and watered them, they were important helpers in hunting in the mountains this time.

Set up a marching pot, light the accompanying gas stove, and a large pot of steaming beef soup instant noodle cakes for all the dogs to eat to their heart's content, which not only replenishes the energy consumed, but also can withstand extreme low temperatures.

When the dogs were replenishing their energy, Xiao Jinyang was introducing the relevant situation of the 'Dream Ranch' to his father-in-law with great interest, and the map and aerial photos on the iPad clearly showed the old man the situation of the ranch.

The entire ranch covers an area of more than 200,000 acres, which is four times the size of the 'Jinghu Ranch' and a quarter of the entire 'Ginkgo New Area'.

These lands will belong to the descendants of the Xiao family and the Xu family for generations, and in the future, Xiao Feng also plans to continue to annex the surrounding pastures, intending to build a super ranch with a total area of more than 2,000 square kilometers in Montana, to be exact, it should be a 'private territory'!

As long as Nini and Yu'er compete in the future, the whole family will sit on these vast lands, and they will not fall into a state of decay and continue to be brilliant.

For an old man like Xu Xiangnan, the glory of the past has faded, and he is more focused on his children and grandchildren, so he is extremely happy to see the grand plan shown by his in-laws!

Xu Xiangnan can't help but imagine that when the water and grass are abundant in summer, the herds of cattle and sheep should be an incomparably beautiful picture......!
