Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

"It's not easy to be the leader! Grandma, when you milk the cows these days, remember to record the milk production of the cow..."

Qin Xifeng wanted to make a comparison to see who was better between this brown cow and the black and white cow at home.

As for the bull, you can observe its adaptability to the plateau and save it for breeding in the future.

It takes a long time to cultivate a kind of adaptable and economical dairy cows. To use a vivid metaphor, it is probably similar to cultivating "hybrid rice". It will take many generations to stabilize.

We can consider this aspect in the future. The most urgent task is to raise these two "Western Brown Cows" well and make observations and records.

"Okay, I get it!"

My grandma smiled and nodded in agreement. She actually didn’t need to weigh the amount of milk she produced each day. She could estimate it just by looking at it.

"Gulidan, Xifeng, let's go back together. You all have dinner at home in the evening. I will make milk batter and thin-skin buns for you to eat..."

Several people settled the two cows and then left the corral.

During the meal, Qin Xifeng told Atik about taking the lead in raising cows.

"I know about this. The township plans to conduct a pilot project in our village. They discussed it with me in advance and I have no objection."

Atik was very calm and also supported Qin Xifeng as the leader.

If raising dairy cows locally is successful, the annual income of the herdsmen will increase a lot, which is definitely a good thing.

After dinner, Qin Xifeng and Gu Lidan left together.

"West Wind..."

The two of them returned to Qin Xifeng's yurt and sat side by side outside the house watching Xiao Bian Mu having fun.

Gulidan turned to look at his three-dimensional profile and suddenly shouted.

"Um?"

Qin Xifeng expressed a little doubt when he saw that the other party shouted and then stopped.

"You said, does the township have plans to promote the raising of brown cattle? I heard my father say that there are two problems in raising dairy cows here, one is the problem of adaptability, and the other is the problem of feed.

..."

No wonder Gulidan thought so. Director Wang asked Qin Xifeng to be the leader. He would come early or late. He came just after everyone had prepared the winter feed.

Putting aside the issue of adaptability, there is another very important issue in raising dairy cows, which is to solve the problem of feed.

Cows have less activity, can eat and sleep, and consume more feed than yaks.

Therefore, the project that the township wanted to promote could not proceed at all. The key is that the herdsmen’s winter feed is not enough. How can they increase the number of dairy cows?

The situation has changed this year. Under the leadership of Qin Xifeng, the herdsmen not only planted alfalfa, but many also made silage.

In this way, every household has a surplus of winter feed, which objectively lays a material foundation for the promotion of dairy cows.

"Isn't this good? In some cases, we have to seek a win-win situation. The economy in the village has developed and the herdsmen have benefited, which means there are experts in the village."

Qin Xifeng laughed and didn't take it seriously.

For others, this might be a risk. But for him, the two Western Brown Cows were nothing more than a reward.

The reward items are tried and tested and they are all good stuff!

Gulidan thought for a while and realized that this was really the case. So she let go of her thoughts and asked Qin Xifeng to take out the radio recorder. Then she remembered the cheerful singing outside the yurt.

She stayed here until very late, and it was already completely dark and she didn't want to leave.

"Then you can sleep here and don't go back."

Qin Xifeng saw her confused look and said with a smile.

Gulidan jumped up quickly, pecked him on the face quickly, and said with a smile: "If I don't come home at night, my grandma will beat me to death."

Qin Xifeng laughed, hugged the girl, and then sent her home.

The next day.

After Qin Xifeng got up, he immediately felt a slight chill.

He quickly listened to the weather forecast, and sure enough, the weather forecast said that in the next 24 hours, cold air would invade, the weather would turn from cloudy to light snow, and the temperature would drop significantly.

At this time, for the mainland, the "autumn tiger" is still showing its power. Even some slightly remote areas are still experiencing the good season of "high autumn air and refreshing air".

But in Palpaha, the first snowfall in the second half of the year has arrived as promised.

After breakfast, neither Qin Xifeng nor Atik went out to graze. The father and son inspected the stables together, carried out further reinforcement, and did a good job of keeping the stables warm and cold-proof.

There are a lot of troubles when it snows.

The first is to drop the temperature significantly, which requires preparations for cold protection in advance to avoid frostbite and death of livestock.

Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the corrals and barns and clear the snow in time to prevent the snow from collapsing the barns and causing losses to the livestock.

Finally, due to excessive snow, the pastures are buried and livestock cannot graze for food, so sufficient feed must be prepared.

If there is continuous heavy snow or blizzard, it will become a disaster, which is commonly known as "white disaster" locally, which is a terrible thing for herdsmen.

But no matter what, being prepared is better than anything else.

"Abba, we need to tighten the blockade here, otherwise the wind will be too strong."

The two cooperated with each other. Atik had experience and Qin Xifeng had ideas, and they were able to deal with it in one morning.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't bother to go home for dinner. Atik went to Murakami to remind everyone to make the necessary preparations.

Qin Xifeng went to Gulidan and did the same job again.

After finishing the work, it was already mid-afternoon. Gulidan's eldest brother and sister-in-law took him home. Gulidan's mother had already prepared a pot of hand-made rice and was waiting for them to come back to eat.

"Xifeng, I've worked hard for you today, please eat more."

Gulidan's mother looked like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at Qin Xifeng, the more satisfied she felt.

"Auntie, I didn't do anything, I just helped."

Qin Xifeng was a little embarrassed, not because of the other person's words, but because of the other person's eyes.

Gu Lidan and his sister-in-law laughed secretly from the side, always feeling that Qin Xifeng looked like a nineteen-year-old young man at this moment.

This guy is usually too calm.

After dinner, Qin Xifeng took Gulidan to check the silage cellar, and then went to the cave to check the bags of silage stacked in the cave.

"There is really no need to worry this year. With so much feed, there will be no problem surviving the winter."

Gulidan is very proud, all of this is because of the man beside her. And this man will become her significant other in the future.

This year almost every household has stored a large amount of hay, mostly high-quality alfalfa. Plus silage, what else is there to worry about this winter?

In the evening.

Snowflakes began to fall from the overcast sky.

At first, there were crystal particles one by one, and then they turned into small flakes of snow. In the middle of the night, it started to snow heavily.
