After milking the cow, Joseph lit a cigarette and leaned against the tiled wall. A faint cloud of smoke rose up, making his face unrecognizable in the gloom. Maybe it's really old and a little powerless, Joseph unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, sighed, and said: "You can also see, now the two of us Mary have a little hard time taking care of this ranch, if it weren't for so much help, we wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time." These trees were planted by me and my children decades ago, and they are now so tall. ”

Wang Hao looked at the grass on the ground, patted his ass and sat down, he nodded and said, "I like it very much, I will try my best to buy it no matter what, don't worry." Now I'm already planning for the future, how to make this place more in line with my habits. ”

At this time, the milk tanker finally came, Joseph pointed to the car and said: "Every morning and evening, these cars will come to collect milk, and we sell them directly to make dairy products, and the price of this refrigerated truck is not cheap." ”

Wang Hao nodded, followed Joseph and a few staff members to get the loaded milk into the car. It's an easy job, and it doesn't take much effort to get it done.

"You can remember this company, when the time comes, I will sell the ranch to you and ask them to collect the milk, the price is very fair, the service is good." Joseph lost no time in teaching without any reservations.

Wang Hao smiled and looked at the swing in the yard, "This place is really suitable for me, I like to get along with nature, if only there were more animals, it would be full of life!" ”

Joseph pouted, "You won't think like that then, I'm dizzy, and there are too many animals to become a zoo." Don't think about it so much, go, come with me to shear sheep! ”

He straightened up, pressed the cigarette butt against the wall, and threw it in the trash. After taking two steps, he put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly, and said with a smile: "It was too late yesterday, now I will introduce you to the members of our family." ”

After hearing this whistle, several shepherd dogs in the distance moved at once, their tongues were stuck out with their mouths open, and their limbs kept running on the ground, almost hitting Joseph.

"Good guys!" He squatted down, touched the white Australian shepherd dog with his hand, and said to Wang Hao with a smile: "This is coco, he is a good hand at herding sheep, he goes to shepherd sheep every day, and he is very capable!" ”

Wang Hao also squatted down, he took a closer look at the sheepdog named Coco, and found that although it was not large, it was very athletic, looked wise, had relatively developed muscles, and had a short tail, which was quite cute.

Coco didn't see Wang Hao either, he kept sniffing around Wang Hao, and then lay in front of him, sticking out his tongue and begging for caresses, without showing any irritability and impatience. There was once a Chinese pastoral dog in the family, which is the so-called earth dog, and when it comes to dealing with dogs, the experience is not blank.

He placed his hand on Coco's forehead, rubbed it very lightly, and then placed his hand behind his ear and stroked it gently, all the way to the back of his tail. His movements were gentle and the strength was suitable, allowing Coco to enjoy it quietly.

Joseph was a little surprised, this shepherd dog is not a simple thing, not like a teddy or a Chihuahua, but a real thing that can bite. If it weren't for the fact that there were no wolves in Australia, the shepherd dogs would still be able to fight it. In the past, when he met strangers, Coco was fierce, but now he is as docile as a little sheep.

"There are also 4 sheepdogs, all of whom are working hard to graze. The sheep managed by Coco are going to be shearing today, so he has a day off. Don't say it, these animals love you! ”

Joseph said as he took the lead in walking, shearing sheep is only processed on sunny days, shearing sheep in spring so that they are not too hot in summer, such a thick wool is naturally very warm in winter, but now that the weather is warmer, it must be moved in advance.

"Nowadays, many farms are shearing workers, and I basically handle our farms. Mary sometimes comes to help me, don't look at the sheep are quite numerous, but they are very fast, and when the time comes, you must hire workers, otherwise you will definitely not be able to do it yourself. It's not bad to come and see it now. ”

Joseph walked forward, and Coco followed him, and kept laughing, without the pride of a shepherd.

"Yesterday I drove this little flock into a small sheepfold and did not feed them so as not to contaminate the wool. Let them squeeze and rub in a small area, so that the oil and sweat from the wool can be removed. Now all we have to do is lay the planks on the ground so as not to stain the wool. ”

The ranch was so big that Wang Hao hardly knew what Mary was busy with now. Looking at my watch, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, but the work on the ranch was already so busy.

After driving a sheep out of the sheepfold, Joseph let the sheep lie on his left side on a plank, with the sheep's back against him. The sheep looked a little cute, covered in a thick layer of wool, and its legs were barely visible, except for its hooves. Pick up the electric scissors that are placed aside, start from the right hind flank of the sheep, and cut off the wool on the abdomen, chest and right front and rear limbs from back to front, the action is particularly skillful and easy. Flipping the sheep over and lying it on its right side, Joseph straightens the sheep's left hind leg with his right hand, from the inside of the left hind leg to the outside, and from the outside of the left hind leg to the left buttocks.

It was a technique that had been honed over decades, much more skilled than a shearer, who examined the sheep's entire body and sheared off any wool that was left behind.

"It's a technical job, if you don't do it well, you will hurt the sheep, you better not try it, just stand aside and listen to me tell you." Joseph looked at Wang Hao's eager expression, and couldn't help but pour cold water and said, "You young people, you just don't have much patience. ”

When you are older, you talk a lot, and it seems that this is a common problem for the elderly all over the world. Wang Hao was not in a hurry, he knew that this was a careful job, and he had to be very experienced, and he used relatively poor wool to practice his craft.

"You can see how many I cut again, and then let you try it, you must see it clearly! The shearing shears should be evenly close to the skin to shear the wool at one time, and the stubble should be low. If the stubble is too high, do not re-shear, so as not to cause two knives and affect the use of wool. This kind of wool can be sold at a good price, you don't want to lose money on your pasture! ”

Wang Hao stared intently at the movements of Joseph's hand, observing how he appeased the sheep, after all, this is a living creature, it will move from time to time, if it is cut when it moves, it will be more than worth the loss.

"You have to pay attention so that it doesn't move, or you have to pay attention to the organs hidden under such a long wool, such as the testicles ~ of this ram, you must be careful not to hurt them. If it is a ewe, you should pay attention to its milk ~ room. Don't be embarrassed, be careful not to cut the skin, in case it is cut, it must be quickly disinfected. ”

There are a lot of precautions for small sheep shearing, and Wang Hao also knows that there may be difficulties in this, so he didn't have to be ambitious, but looked at Joseph over and over again.

It was only when he felt that the time was almost right that Joseph stood up and moved his thighs. After he cleaned up the wool on the ground, he said to Wang Hao: "You come and try it, I'll help you watch it, don't be nervous, your hands must be steady!" ”

Wang Hao nodded, took out a sheep from the sheepfold, and kept muttering: "You must cooperate with me later!" Hello, hello, everyone. ”

After putting his hand on it, Wang Hao felt a feeling of fear, this sheep was afraid! He didn't rush to shear the sheep, but patted it gently, conveying his kindness and slowly easing its fears.

After it was almost comfortable, Wang Hao silently begged it not to move casually for a while, lest he get hurt, and he was helping it undress.

Under Joseph's eyes, without Wang Hao's move, just his movement, the sheep lay down obediently, motionless, as if dead. Wang Hao picked up the electric scissors and started to act, he almost completely copied Joseph's previous order, but unfortunately he didn't grasp the light and shade well.

As soon as the scissors went down, I was worried that I would hurt the sheep's skin, but as a result, a large section was not cut off. The next knife wanted to cut it shorter, but the scissors brushed the skin in a thrilling way, which made Joseph tremble.

Forty minutes passed, and Wang Hao reluctantly cleaned up the sheep, deep and short, full of mouths, not to mention how ugly it was. After the sheep stood up, he immediately jumped up and went to find the rest of his companions, not feeling how ugly the clothes on his body were at all, Wang Hao couldn't help but mourn for it for three seconds.

Come and see the Great Juggernaut
