Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The cowboys took turns on the field, and after several battles and a perfect performance, the game was over.

Bathed in the wisps of the sunset, Wang Hao and the others held the hand of a small child, worried that they would be washed away by the flow. As the audience walked out of the arena, several people still had endless memories of the scene just now.

These dashing and brave cowboys, this game-rich competitive competition, really brought a new feeling to several people from China, and brought them into the legendary western cowboy world. But at the same time, it is necessary to say that some of the events are a little unbearable to watch, although there are no accidents in this competition, but it is reported that there have been incidents of injuries to players or death of animals in other competitions.

"Don't think too much about it, it's just a recreational activity, just have fun." Neil looked at it with ease, he thought it was a bit excessive, but that's life. Usually in the pasture, they do the same with disobedient calves, if they follow the words of the group of animal lovers, they must offer these animals high, and nothing can be done.

Wang Hao is a rough nerve, he has never liked that type of thing, as an animal-loving druid, he can do anything to send his dear beef cattle to the slaughterhouse to sell for money, this thing does not affect him at all. "Who cares, it's better to care about the new members of our ranch!"

"New to the ranch? How many more cowboys are on board? Neil asked with some cheers, it wasn't much fun to have fewer people now, or more people could find more ways to have fun.

Wang Hao snorted, and did not answer his question directly, but discussed with Luna on his own: "I'm going to get it in tomorrow." The venue here should be fine, right? ”

"Just clean it up, now let's accumulate experience. Then expand the site and then expand the scale of breeding, so that gradual is the best. Let's be honest. I've met a lot of ambitious ranchers who start with all kinds of livestock and end up selling their ranches at a loss. ”

"I'm not going to sell the ranch, how can I find such a good place in the future. Anyway, with you cowboys, would I have anything to do with it? As long as you know how to raise it, then I don't have to worry about losing money. Although he said it so confidently, Wang Hao knew in his heart that there was still a certain economic risk in breeding emus.

Some time ago, it was reported that farmers who farmed emus in India lost all their money, and it is not known whether there is any economic value in raising emus in Australia. As the national bird above the Australian coat of arms, the emu enjoys respectful treatment and popularity. Known as the Australian ostrich, it has great economic value and a wide range of uses.

Adult emus can generally weigh more than 50 kilograms, emu eat miscellaneous, like grass and insects, adaptability, disease resistance, resistance to rough feeding, very suitable for farmers to raise. Emu has a high value throughout the body, the meat is tender and delicious, and the content of fat and cholesterol is low. It is a healthy green food. At the same time, the emu skin has good air permeability, high toughness, soft hand feel, and the protrusion of pores increases the beauty. Very popular in the international market.

The most valuable thing is not the flesh and fur, but their eggs. Emu eggshells are naturally dark green in color, which is unique among birds. Emu eggshells come in three colors, dark green, sky blue, and white. Crafts carved from emu eggshells are highly collectible.

The emu's hair does not form feather sheets, so it does not contain static electricity. Dust sweeps for high-precision instruments are commonly used. There is a fat bag on the back of the emu, each can produce 2-3.5kg/piece, emu oil has a strong permeability, and is now used in cosmetics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and has a strong effect on sports injuries. Health experts believe that emu oil contains a large amount of DHA unsaturated fatty acids, which is a new bright spot in the development of new health foods.

With so many uses, Wang Hao still doesn't believe that he can't sell it, even if there is really no one to buy it, he can also put it in the pasture to look good, just raise a few more chickens, and never have to worry about not having enough eggs in the future.

"I was going to raise emus, but I thought it was! Seriously, the emu is a really good thing, it runs very fast, it can't catch up at all, and occasionally attacks people! Neil knew what they were playing, and he knew a lot about emus, a widely distributed animal.

Wang Hao didn't have this plan, but after getting the money from selling the pasture, after seeing the giant birds running wild when passing by other people's pastures, he remembered that there was such a thing as an emu in Australia. Now the Golden Ranch is full of ordinary animals, there is no Australian character at all, and it is not bad to raise some emus, if only I could catch a few koalas.

The ranch buys three-month-old young birds, which have just passed through the three-month brooding period, can weigh almost 5 kilograms, no longer need artificial insulation, just can be placed in the pen to let them grow freely, and when the young birds are 12 months old, they can choose to sell or keep them to expand their own scale.

"The emu is not bad, but it is not easy to manage, and it must be kept in a pen, otherwise such a large ranch will definitely run away." Pete is still driving, he likes this national bird a lot, at least it feels good to eat.

"I think it's fine, but you can't sit on their backs with emus that big." Wang Meng was a little regretful, of course she knew what an emu looked like, almost no different from an ostrich. She used to let the little ones ride ostriches in the zoo before, and it felt pretty good, but now the ostriches in the ranch are so small, and when they grow up, a few children will also grow up.

Wang Hao interrupted them and asked with a smile: "Since the ranch is going to raise emus now, a few of you should also reassign the tasks, just take time out to manage the emus, and help when you feed them." ”

He didn't plan to aggrigate the emus in a very small space like a feedlot, but with a large ranch of 120,000 acres, it was enough to set aside a small plot for the emus as their habitat. It is best to let these emus grow in an environment that is as close to nature as possible, and it is better to have bushes in hilly areas to make it easier for them to find food.

When they returned to the ranch, the red glow was gradually swallowed up by the night, and Luna and Pete were busy driving a small number of the fattening cattle back to the barn, while the rest of the cattle were outside in the wind and rain. The brothers Neil and Leonard, on the other hand, are assisted by a sheepdog to help the sheep enter the sheepfold.

Everyone has been out all day, and now they have come back to be busy, so the kitchen cooking is handed over to Wang Meng. It's a pity that she can only cook some home-cooked food, and she can't cook the food that people here eat at all, do you want to make the whole mutton by herself? As a last resort, I had to make some rice in a rice cooker, and then prepare a few of the most ordinary dishes to fool around.

These people don't like Sichuan food as much as they think, because it's too oily and spicy to suit their taste.

At this time, the three little guys knew that everyone was busy, so they were very sensible and did not pester anyone, but played with the transformers and helicopters that Wang Hao bought, and there were still tracks of the small train on the floor of the living room, which had become their amusement park.

Wang Hao was comforting the soup bun at this time, it had grown so big and had never been hungry, and today it was starving. It lay in Wang Hao's arms and shouted vigorously, expressing its dissatisfaction with him, and even forgot the cat's lunch!

The poor soup dumplings didn't eat anything at noon, and waited until now with an empty stomach. After quickly opening the canned fish, Wang Hao put it on the floor and said with a smile: "I actually forgot about you, you little guy sleep lazy!" ”

As if he understood that Wang Hao was shirking his responsibility, the soup dumpling stopped eating, glanced at Wang Hao with its amber eyes, and despised this bad guy who abused him. Forget to feed the cats, forget it, and blame yourself, any meow can't bear it!

After eating the canned fish, the soup dumpling lay on the floor and didn't want to move at all, its little paws patted its stomach, and then stretched its body lazily, ready to replenish sleep here, eat and sleep, this is a big thing for meow.

Wang Meng's craftsmanship is not bad, at least Wang Hao thinks so, he has not eaten such authentic Sichuan cuisine for a long time, and his appetite can't help but increase greatly, and he has added several meals in a row, which makes Pete and others stunned.

Although I watched the game all day today, everyone was a little tired, and after eating and resting a little, they went back to their rooms to take a shower and then lay down to sleep.

Without the disturbance of the alarm clock, Wang Hao was completely awakened by the light. A bright beam of sunlight shone on his face through the gap in the curtain, Wang Hao blocked his eyes with his hand in a daze, patted the soup bag next to him, and then stood up barefoot.

Twisting his waist, Wang Hao opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight poured down like a waterfall, warm but not hot, this is the morning sun, and it is also the typical weather in Australia in mid-November.

After making himself a cup of coffee, he sat down on the edge of the corridor in his living area and began to read the newspaper, with the beautiful grassland in the distance and the flower-filled courtyard nearby. Take a sip of coffee, lift your eyes from the small print on the newspaper, and shift to the green grassland to soothe your nerves, such a life is quiet and leisurely.

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly rang. "Hello, this is Wang Hao, is there anything wrong?"

"Okay, I'm in the ranch, just follow the road, there's a big sign on the road, you shouldn't miss it, I'm waiting for you here."

The vehicle that sent the young emu was already not far from the pasture, and after putting on his shoes, he was going to go to see how the emu's barn was ready, and this time he bought a hundred emus, which was relatively large.
