Lisko’s American Life

In the early morning, Lisko put on his denim clothes and harness. He usually rides without wearing breeches. The breeches are made of a layer of cowhide and wrap around the trousers to block the dust from running and the splash of river water.

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

It was a brown hat with the lining leaking out where it was worn.

Lisko looked at it, as if he saw his father took it off every day and wore it to run around the ranch.

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

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

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

"Wes, you lead, Humber, finish at the back, I'm on the left, Boss, are you on the right?"

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

For the cowboys, ranchers are like their lords, and they are all retainers of the ranchers. This is the old rule, and it is still the case in many old-brand ranches.

The barn is opened and the herd begins to come together.

The cowboys yelled and drove the herd to run.

This time, Lisko also found that the ranch was really short of manpower. This year, the cattle herd suddenly increased by more than a thousand cows. The leaders are usually the most experienced cowboys in the ranch, because if they accidentally fall off their horses, they will really be killed. The cows were trampled to a pulp.

There is one person on the left and right sides, and there will be a cowboy foreman and a cowboy shadowing to fill in the vacancy.

The current collocation is few people, it seems that the recruitment matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

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

"Ziz~David, the herd of cattle has been separated by the trees, and there are cattle left behind." Humber who was behind discovered the situation.

David speeded up, took out the rope that he carried with him, tied the knot, swung it from a distance, aimed at the single calf, caught the bull's head at once, turned the direction, and dragged the calf to the back row. This kind of cattle harnessing should be done by two people, one person puts on the head and the other puts on the legs. It is easy to subdue, but the ranch is short of manpower. Fortunately, David's cattle harnessing skills are superb, so he can handle it by himself.

This time, Lisko discovered that he still needs a helicopter, which can be cheaper, and the unobstructed view from the sky is more suitable for command.

Only when you really get involved can you know the current loopholes in the ranch.

Lisko was galloping, thinking about things on horseback. Helicopters are cheap, about $50,000 can buy a good one, about the same as a car, and fuel is cheap, and it's a two-seater.

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

After living in this period of time, Lisko really fell in love with the life of this invisible high-rise building, so he also changed his initial thoughts. If there is an opportunity, he would not mind expanding the area.

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

In their culture, on the big screen, the cowboy is a modern knight who eliminates violence and saves girls from danger, or a brave and fearless knight with superb skills. Equivalent to Chinese martial arts knights, so everyone wants to be a cowboy.

Many rich people like to buy a ranch by themselves to experience this kind of comfortable pastoral life.

The current Weiss has come to a halt as the herd reaches its destination.

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

The cowboys had gathered together at this time, eating breakfast, they were used to eating sandwiches after the herd stopped, and drinking a few sips of coffee or low-alcohol beer in the aluminum jug they carried with them.

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

Lisko opened it, and there were lettuce and ham in it, and a few pieces of beef.

"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 because of her good cooking skills." Speaking of his wife, David's face was full of satisfaction.

David was still very caring. He knew that Lisko was participating in this kind of activity for the first time, so he definitely didn't know to bring this.

Although Lisko grew up on a ranch, he didn't know much about the things on the ranch. Because he had good academic performance, his father hoped that he would be successful. At that time, his goal was to make him a lawyer, so he was never allowed to participated.

Cowboys generally carried Winchester M1873 with them. This powerful gun gave them a great sense of security. In the early years, wild boars and bears often descended on the pasture.

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

While eating a sandwich, he seemed to have discovered something. The grass in the distance was moving, and he took off the gun stuck on his horse's back.

"Boom"

Something stopped moving in the grass, and David rode his horse galloped towards his destination, stepping on his stirrups to aim along the way.

There are many pastures in Garrison, so the cowboys have been taught by the older generation. Don't put down the gun immediately when the prey is killed. You don't know if it is pretending to be dead or has a companion next to it.

These tricks are summed up through bloodshed.

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

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

"Supper for the evening," said David, slung the gun over his shoulder, and tied the game around the horse's neck.

"David, good marksmanship." Lisko finished his 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. There are a lot of wild rabbits in this season."

David came and made his case.

Lisko stroked the stubble on his chin and thought about it carefully. It is true that the hares did a lot of damage to the pasture. They did not simply eat grass, but also destroyed the grass roots of the pasture.

"I leave this matter to you, find some good ones."

Of course, Lisko would not think that the Mag he raised could serve as a hunting dog. It was a small dog, and it was 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 hugged it to sleep. Lisko estimated that it was already comfortable and happy.
