Chapter 393: . Shearing (4/5)

If it wasn't for the Mexican pretty boy who said he was joking immediately, if not for the Pharaoh who remembered that this guy had hooked up with several beauties last month when he was recruiting in Dunedin, he would definitely worry about his chrysanthemum.
With a finger, he fiercely clicked on the Mexican pretty boy, and the pharaoh angered, "Can such a thing be a joke? You almost lost your qualification to stand behind me!"
"I need a little energy in my life, don't I?"
"You don't live without being crazy! Go work!"
The job of holding a bachelor party was handed over to the Mexican pretty boy to organize. Wang Bo had to shear the sheep on the pasture. Of course, he had to shear the grass and mud horses, their hair is more precious.
Motak helped him find ten workers and said that each person could shear 300 sheep a day. The ranch now has 10,000 sheep and can be dried in about four days.
Wang Bo hasn't had any experience in shearing wool, and he doesn't understand anything. This depends on Bowen and the cowboys. In Texas, this was their basic job.
It took almost a month from the decision to shear the sheep to start operation, mainly because of bad weather.
Shearing needs to choose a clear day, because you have to work for four or five consecutive days, so it is required that these four or five days must be sunny.
In the past few days, although there were many sunny days, the ranches of families were shearing wool, and the workers did not have time to come out for private work. When the workers have time, it is often not good weather, so it is delayed.
Wang Bo set up a shearing field outside the pasture. There is a special shearing plant on the regular pasture. His site is not available. Bowen chose a small hill and laid a special mat on it to create a temporary shearing plant.
At the end of November, the temperature rose completely and the shearing work was about to begin.
Motak brought ten workers to the town. They brought their own tools, scissors, sharpening stones, iodine, and so on. Mats and ropes were prepared by Pharaoh.
Wang Bo knew that it was best to cut sheep's hair on an empty stomach. Cowboys had classified sheep flocks. The sheep to be sheared that day had to be driven out of the pasture one day in advance.
The pasture grass has been improved, not only rich in nutrition but also good in taste. After getting used to it, ordinary weeds outside are not the dishes of sheeps. They would rather not eat when they are hungry, and their belly is hungry one day.
The cowboys are responsible for driving the flock. Ten workers specialize in shearing hair. They go to the short mound to signal the cowboys to drive the flock.
Someone kindly suggested, "Good luck Chinese, you'd better find a few more people to drive the flock. We are fast and may be unexpected."
Good luck Chinese is Wang Bo's new nickname. The reason is naturally that he won the must-be-on award, and also because he inherited a piece of high-quality land, which is also considered to be good luck locally.
Wang Bo laughed: "You can rest assured that my men are driving the flock faster than you expected."
There are two cowboys grazing, and four cowboys really drive fewer people out of the flock, but there are also six princes and assistants such as virgins, queens, and kings.
The flocks were simply fenced with wooden fences. When they were released, they wanted to run to the ranch. The dogs rushed over and barked to drive them back to the correct path, one by one to the high ground.
Regardless of the Queen of Queens or Princes, they usually help cowboys to graze, so the flocks have become accustomed to their calls and obediently obey orders.
As the dogs drove their flocks up, these workers marveled:
"My God, these Rottweilers are so smart, and such a great shepherd?"
"Look quickly, Peterson has a lion there! No, tiger, no, it's like a lion. Why is it streaked?"
"Is that a lion, tiger or lion? Is there anyone in New Zealand who owns it? It's strange!"
Xiao Wang shook his head and ran in small steps, seeing people pointing at it, he gave a dismissive glance: Look at Nima coins, haven't you seen a lion, tiger or beast?
A sheep wanted to run into the ranch. Xiao Wang rushed forward, slapped the sheep to the ground with a slap, opened his blood basin and pinched the sheep's neck, and dragged it back like a bag ...
The other sheep lowered their eyes and obediently, obediently, Xiao Wang shouted in that direction, and they went where they were.
The workers were watching Xiao Wang and this group of savvy dogs. Motak roared a few times with a thick throat. They laughed and spread, picking up electrical scissors and starting to work.
Shearing is a one-time job and requires the scissors to lie flat against the sheep's skin so that the stubble remains short and neat. If you do n’t cut neatly, you ca n’t cut it again, and you do n’t have time to cut it again.
In the process of shearing, the most important thing is not to cut the skin, otherwise it is easy to be infected. Of course, if the hand fails, the horse will lose its feet. So many sheep will always cut the skin, so the workers bring iodophor wine, and once the skin is broken, they must be disinfected.
Wang Bo took a wool shear and asked: "Can you cut it slowly? I want to learn."
Motak asked with a smile: "Why do you learn this? Ready to participate in the sheep shearing competition at the Yak Club?"
Wool is an important income of New Zealand's ranch and a necessity in everyone's life. Every family has several clothes such as sweaters. In this country, shearing is not just farm work, but also sports.
In the spring and autumn seasons, New Zealand will hold a variety of sheep shearing competitions. Powerful workers can complete the hair removal work for a sheep within one minute. Such people often have a good status on the farm and have a high income.
There is even a 1,500-square-meter wool-cutting museum in the town of Masterton, Wellington, dedicated to tourists.
Wang Bo explained: "I'm looking forward to participating in such a competition, but before that, I have to cut the hair of two fat cats in my family, so I have to learn this technique well."
"Let Peterson teach you, he is the magic hand of light and shadow in the ranch, and the best shearing guy I know."
Motak asked him for a burly black man in his fifties. After shaking hands with Wang Bo, he reached out and dragged a sheep to his side.
The sheep yelled, his limbs rushed up and down, but he couldn't escape his control anyway, and according to Wang Bo's observation, the black man hadn't done much.
Peterson explained to him, "Before you start shearing, first bind the sheep lying down. Of course, I mean that at the beginning, if you are a veteran, then this is very simple. Let me show you it."
As he said, he lifted the sheep's head. The right-hand electrical scissors first cut straight from the thigh, and then cut in parallel along this line. Three, five and two divided the belly and head of the leg. The hair is cut out.
Then, he began to cut the wool on the back. When the scissors turned over, a layer of wool fell in an orderly manner. After half a minute, he cut the other side's wool. Within two minutes, the sheep's wool coat was taken off. (To be continued.)
