Lisco's American Life

In the early morning, Lisko put on his jeans and horse gear. He usually rode without wearing breeches. The breeches were made of a layer of cowhide and were wrapped around the pants to block the dust and splashing water from running.

He took off his father's cowboy hat hanging on the wall and stroked it gently.

This is a brown hat, and the lining is already worn out in some places.

Lisko looked at it and seemed to see his father taking it off every day and running around in the pasture wearing it.

"BOSS." David held his cowboy hat in one hand, covering it on his chest, and asked Lisko for instructions.

Lisko put it on and said, "Let's go."

After leaving the stable, the cowboys lined up in front of the bullpen and waited. Lisko looked at the four people in front of him.

"Weiss, you take the lead, Hambo finishes from behind, I'm on the left, BOSS, you're on the right?"

Lisko nodded, and the cowboys took off their cowboy hats and lowered their heads to signal to Lisko.

For cowboys, the rancher is like their monarch, and they are all the rancher's retainers. This was the rule in the past, and it is still like this in many old-brand ranches.

The cowshed was opened and the cattle began to gather together.

The cowboys shouted and drove the cattle to run.

Lisko also discovered this time that the ranch is indeed short of manpower. This year, the herd has suddenly increased by more than a thousand cows. The leaders are usually the most experienced cowboys in the ranch, because if you accidentally fall off the horse, you will really be killed.

The cattle were trampled to a pulp.

There is one person on each side, and there is also a cowboy foreman and a cowboy behind to fill the gap.

The current mix is ​​small, and it seems that recruitment will be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Lisko clamped the horse's belly to speed up, and everyone had walkie-talkies on their chests. In the past, cowboys relied on whistles to communicate when they were scattered. With the development of technology, high-power walkie-talkies are a good tool.

"Zizz~David, the herd was separated by trees, and there is a cow on the left that is lagging behind." Humble, who was behind, noticed the situation.

David speeded up, took out the rope he had with him, tied the knot, swung it far away, aimed at the lone calf, immediately lassoed the bull's head, reversed its direction, and dragged the calf towards the back row. Like this

Cattle roping should be done by two people, one person roping the head and the other leg roping, which is easy to subdue. However, the ranch is short of manpower. Fortunately, David's cattle roping skills are superb and he can do it by himself.

Lisko discovered this time that he still needed a helicopter, which was cheaper and had an unobstructed view from the sky that was more suitable for command.

Only when you really get involved can you understand the current loopholes of the ranch.

Lisko galloped, thinking about things on horseback. Helicopters are very cheap. You can buy a good one for about fifty thousand dollars, which is about the same price as an ordinary car. Moreover, the fuel is very cheap and it is a two-seater.

.

Last year there were only more than 100 cows in the pasture, so everything was simplified. It will be indispensable for the development of the pasture in the future. Lisko plans to acquire the previous pasture in the future to expand the scope.

After this period of life, Lisko really fell in love with the life in this kind of high-rise building without seeing the ferocious sky, so he also changed his initial idea. If there is a chance, he would not mind increasing the area.

Every American wants to be a cowboy. In Hollywood, western movies are the mainstream movies, and the cowboy spirit is deeply embedded in their lives. The slogan of freedom in the American spirit is the embodiment of this cowboy culture.

In their culture, cowboys on the big screen are modern knights who fight violence and save girls from danger, or they are brave, fearless and skilled knights. They are equivalent to Chinese martial arts knights, so everyone wants to be a cowboy.

Many rich people like to buy a ranch of their own and experience this kind of comfortable pastoral life.

As the herd arrived at its destination, the current Weiss had stopped.

The speed of the herd of cattle also began to slow down, and some of them were already scattered around, gnawing on the grass.

The cowboys had gathered together and had breakfast at this time. They were accustomed to eating sandwiches after the cattle stopped and drinking a few sips of coffee or low-alcohol beer from the aluminum pots they carried with them.

"Sir," David handed over a sandwich wrapped in paper.

Lisko opened it and found lettuce, ham and a few pieces of beef inside.

"It tastes good, and Jasmine's craftsmanship is still so good." Lisko took a bite and gave David a thumbs up.

"Of course, she won my heart with her good cooking skills." Speaking of his wife, David's face was full of satisfaction.

David was still very considerate. He knew that it was the first time Lisko participated in such an activity, so he definitely didn't know to bring this.

Although Lisko grew up on the ranch, he knew little about the things on the ranch. Because he had good academic performance, his father wanted him to get ahead. The goal at that time was to make him a lawyer, so he never let him

Participated.

Cowboys usually carry the Winchester M1873 with them. This powerful gun gives them a great sense of security. In the early years, there were often wild boars and bears descending on the ranch.

David is a cowboy with excellent marksmanship. His father is a cowboy, and he inherited his father's profession when he grew up.

While eating the sandwich, he seemed to notice something. The grass in the distance was moving, and he took off the gun on his horse.

"Bang"

Something moved in the grass. David rode his horse towards his destination, taking aim with his stirrups along the way.

There are many ranches in Garrison, so the cowboys have been taught by the older generation. Don't put down your gun immediately after a killed prey. You don't know if it is pretending to be dead or if there are companions nearby.

These tips are all summarized through bloodshed.

After confirming that nothing was wrong, he bent down from the horse's back and picked up the prey.

"Beep beep," the cowboys saw clearly the prey in their hands and blew their harvest whistles. It was a fat hare.

"More dinner tonight," David put the gun on his shoulder and tied the prey to the horse's neck.

"David, what a good shot." Lisko finished eating the sandwich, stuffed the wrapping paper into his pocket, and gave a thumbs up to David who came over.

"Sir, it's time for us to raise some hunting dogs. In this season, there are many hares."

David came over to make his case.

Lisko touched the stubble on his chin and thought about it carefully. It is true that hares do great harm to the pasture. They not only eat grass, but also destroy the grass roots of the pasture.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Find some good ones."

Of course, Lisko would not think that the Mag he raised could be used as a hunting dog. It was a small dog and his own pet.

Speaking of Mag, Lisko fostered it with Willow and lived a very comfortable life every day. The caring little girl bathed it every day and held it to sleep. Lisko estimated that it was so comfortable that it didn't want to miss the day.
