Chapter 355 The Cow Gives Birth

The grass in the shooting range is too deep. If the chickens are sent, they will die easily, because the chickens are afraid of the cold, and when they get up in the morning and burrow into the dewy grass, their bodies will die. It will get wet, and if there is no old hen to keep warm, it will die soon.

As for the native chickens that Zhang Xiang sent this time, the smallest one weighs more than half a catty, and they are relatively resistant, so there is no need to worry too much. As long as these native chickens are not harmed by weasels and foxes, the survival rate is quite high. !

Because there has been no rain in the mountains for a long time, Zhang Yinshan arranged for people to use water pumps to irrigate the grass on the hillside in other places with water sources every one or two weeks.

Then the cattle are driven to several mountain farms around the shooting range to graze in a cycle. In this way, the drought is severe, and the cattle have grass to eat, and they grow fatter!

Zhang Yinshan is only responsible for raising cattle in the shooting range, and there is also a part of the dividends, so he is quite careful and caring. All his hopes are on these cattle. There are many things that Zhang wants to say, he will arrange It's very good. [

After all, he doesn't know how to do other things, but he is very good at the habit of grazing cattle and chickens. People in the countryside love cattle, and every family's farm cattle are more precious than their own eyes!

Therefore, the "habits" and "touch" of cattle are relatively thorough. The group of cattle like to be together, and they know what kind of grass they eat!

"Xiangzi, you are here. It's okay to have lunch here. Just now I saw a calf that might be about to give birth. After a while, everyone will come to help, so as not to be like last time, the calf will be caught by other cows when it hits the ground." crushed to death!"

Because most of the shooting ranges are cows and calves, so start from spring.From time to time, a cow gave birth to a calf. Zhang Yinshan said that it was a cow that was raised outside half a month ago.A calf was born in the middle of the night, and the cattle herders did not know until the next day when they came to see it during the day, that the calf was actually crushed to death by other cattle.

Therefore, if there were such big-bellied cows, Zhang Yinshan would gather those cows to the edge of the big pool, where the water and grass were fertile, and then stock them intensively, so that there would be calves born.They can also know the first time.

"Oh, a cow is about to calf? Go and see if you have nothing to do!"

Seeing that it was still early for lunch, Zhang Xiang called Li Jun and Liu Lei to follow Zhang Yinshan.Go see the cow that just has to calve.

Looking at the big pond from a distance, Lao Chen squatted on the grass smoking a cigarette, saw Zhang Xiang and the others approaching, stood up quickly and shouted loudly: "It's still early. There is no movement yet. I guess it will be soon." It will take more than an hour for the little calf to meet!"

Zhang wanted to look in the direction that old Chen pointed, only to see a cow with a big curved horn as high as his chest, standing on a relatively flat place, not grazing, but with its tail up!

"Is this the one? Is the amniotic fluid broken? Probably today, it looks like a big belly, maybe there are two calves!"

Zhang wanted to stand beside the cow.Still thinking about getting closer, I saw the cow with her head down and her eyes red.There was a rough air coming out of his nostrils, as if he was about to touch someone, he simply stood still.

"Whoa whoa……"

Seeing this, Zhang Yinshan screamed twice, and then the cow took a step back, wagging its tail, showing a more docile look, this cow also recognizes people, Zhang Yinshan always stays in the shooting range, In the minds of those cattle, he is their own master.

He tied the cow's nose with a rope more than a foot long, and then fixed it on an open ground. This was to prevent the cow from running around after giving birth to a calf. And bring the calf to other cattle, causing the calf to be squeezed.

Fixing the range of activities of the cow can also avoid the hot weather. After the cow walked to the pond, she gave birth to the calf in the pond and drowned.

When the calf was first born, it was very delicate, and a single negligence would cause its premature death. Now the cow is not cheap. A new calf can be raised for half a year, and it costs 4000 to [-] yuan. The last two months' salary of the cattle herder is really not to be careless.

Therefore, they will pay special attention to every cow that just has a calf, and let Lao Chen guard it specially to avoid accidents!

"There is movement, there is movement, look!"

Seeing that it was still early, and he couldn't help at the moment, Zhang Xiang and Li Jun found a place to do it, and they were chatting without saying a word, smoking a cigarette and gossiping! [

Lao Chen's shout startled them, and when everyone came back to their senses, they saw that the cow's tail was raised high, and it could not be put down for a long time, and its underside had been opened, and the meat powder could be seen faintly. the hair of a colored calf.

The calf's head came out first, so it was safer. With the amniotic fluid, the calf's head came out bit by bit, its eyes were wide open, and it could even blink.

The movement of the calf's head coming out was very slow, bit by bit, the cow struggled and kept calling, and the calf also sprinted hard towards the hope of being born.

Time seemed to stand still, Zhang Xiang and the others looked at the calf without blinking, feeling very worried and anxious, and wanted to help, but didn't know how to do it.

The few of them were still strangers in the eyes of the cow, and the cow would not let them get close out of instinct, only Zhang Yinshan and Lao Chen were holding the cow's nose with their hands while trying to pull the little cow with their hands. The cow comes out.

"Old Chen, it's better not to move, let them go with the flow, there's no rush!"

Zhang wanted to watch closely, and when he saw that Lao Chen wanted to do something, he stopped him. If there are cows giving birth in the countryside, the farmers will find a way to help the delivery, but because the process of calf production is also dangerous, it is very dangerous It is easy to cause harm to the cow.

Most of the calf's head had come out, but one of them hadn't seen any movement, it was just stuck there, the cow screamed, making painful sounds and struggling.

Time seemed to stand still, the cow was panting heavily, and there was a heavy sound coming from its nose, Zhang thought they hadn't spoken, the critical time had come for the cow to calve, life or death was just over an hour away up.

"Oops, there is no amniotic fluid, what should I do if the calf is always stuck here? It will suffocate the calf after a long time!"

Zhang Yinshan was sweating on his head. The grassland of this shooting range is fertile, and the big cows raised are also big. The calves are well-nourished, so when many cows give birth to their calves, it is a hell of a gate, and the calves might die. , sometimes things happen to cows too!

Therefore, it is a good thing and a bad thing for a cow to give birth to a calf in the shooting range. If the calf is born smoothly, the calf alone will make a small profit at the end of the year. !

If the cow dies or is disabled in this weather, it can only be sold to others for slaughter, and it may not be exchanged for any money, at least at a loss.

"Liu Lei, quickly go to the table in the house and bring the jar of liquor over, and then bring another basin, hurry up!"

Zhang Yinshan yelled, urging Liu Lei while wiping his sweat, this calf is in a difficult delivery, if it takes a long time, it may suffocate to death, if the rescue is not timely, even the cow will have an accident!

Seeing Zhang Yinshan's urgency, Liu Lei panicked. He took three steps in parallel and ran into the house like flying.As soon as he entered the door, he saw the glass jar that could hold more than ten catties of ale wine, which was placed on the table, and there was still more than half of the jar of barley wine in it.

He first picked up the wine jar, and then picked up a small porcelain basin. After thinking about it, if Zhang Yinshan wants to drink, he should take a glass cup for drinking beer. The ale and rice wine in the village have very low alcohol content, and men don't think drinking is enough. If so, what kind of glass do you use for drinking beer? I think it's the best way to drink it!

"Brother Yinshan, here are the things, would you like me to pour you a glass of wine?"

Liu Lei's hands were not empty, he was holding things in his arms, he was also running in a hurry, and there were thin beads of sweat on his head, thinking that Zhang Yinshan wanted wine at this time, so he just poured it for him a cup!

"Hey, big brother, why are you pouring me a glass of wine? Pour it all into this basin. I use this wine for disinfection, not for drinking!"

Zhang Yinshan laughed out loud when he saw Liu Lei pouring the glass of wine, he walked to Zhang Xiang's side, then put his hands in the half basin of wine, and put his hands in it to soak!

Zhang Xiang also felt a little strange, the cow gave birth to a calf, and the third brother asked for half a pot of white wine to drink, but used it to soak his hands, is it really a bit strange?disinfect?Why disinfect? [

Zhang Yinshan's rough joints and slightly deformed big hands were soaked in the white wine for more than ten minutes, until his hands were a little white, Zhang Yinshan picked up his hands.

"It can't be done, the calf's front legs still can't come out, they are all squeezed together with the head, and there is no movement for a long time, what should we do? The cow doesn't seem to have much strength!"

Lao Chen has been guarding the cow's side all the time, and Li Jun is also not far away to drive the surrounding cows, lest those free-range cows with big bellies disturb the cow that is calving!

Zhang wanted to try to get close to the cow, wondering if he could use midwifery methods so that the cow could give birth to the calf smoothly.However, the cow in labor was particularly awakened and would not let him approach at all, which made Zhang Xiang very embarrassed.

As time passed quietly, the cow struggled less and less frequently, and it couldn't help panting heavily, but the calf below hadn't come out at all, and the situation at hand was not very good.

"Old Chen, make the rope shorter, let me do it!"

At this time Zhang Yinshan couldn't help but said, and took a big step forward. (to be continued..)
