But when a soldier shows up at her ranch with a final message from her brother, she finds new purpose. Nathan Roldan is as formidable as they come.

Laid Back Life On My Demi Human Ranch!
A Fantasy World of beautiful Demi Human monster girls working on a ranch alongside Hildegarde, the owner of the Ranch and a certified Rancher, Breeder, and Hunter!
Join Hildegarde on her journey to build up her dilapidated Ranch on the edge of the Frontier, create a thriving farmland, house many different species of Demi Humans, and of course... breed quite a few of them too~!
Sustaining herself and her partners, can Hildegarde survive by herself out on the edge of the Frontier, where monsters and bandits roam around freely looking to prey on the weak?
Author's Note:
THIS IS FUTANARI, YURI, AND FEMALE ONLY!!!
This is a smut book alongside being a Survival/Farm Sim/ Life Sim type of novel, so understand that there will be sex, breeding, pregnancy and more; additionally, the Demi Human's are treated like a different race compared to Humans, and as such it may be uncomfortable for some to read about.
There WILL be some scenes that will likely bring up that discomfort, as well as other discomforts, but there won't be anything incredibly dark within the novel, so don't worry about that; besides that, yes, this novel will have a story alongside the 'plot', so I hope I can do well with that too lol~!
Come on in, enjoy, and if this doesn't sound like something you would like to read, please, don't force yourself; I want to value your time as much as I value my own.
PLEASE do not spam comments, don't be rude for the sake of being rude, and do not feel the need to announce your own departure; if you have criticisms, I am open to hearing them because that is something I can improve from, but being rude and not offering criticisms is not welcome.

Pressing F8 was the shortcut key to enter safe mode. In the Windows system, pressing the F8 key could enter the safe mode. This was a boot mode that could be used to resolve system faults and eliminate problems. After entering the safe mode, the user could perform some diagnosis and repair operations, such as deleting stubborn files and clearing the contents of the resource recycling bin. However, it should be noted that with the update of the Windows system, especially in the versions of Windows 8 and later, the function of pressing F8 to enter the safe mode has changed. You may need to use other methods or adjust the system settings to enter the safe mode.
There could be many reasons for a computer to take a long time to turn on. One possibility was that there were too many auto-boot options. These programs would automatically open when the computer was turned on, resulting in a longer boot time. This problem could be solved by using the task manager to disable the unwanted activation options. Another possibility was that there was a hard disk problem, such as a bad hard disk, which would also cause the boot time to be extended. You can check the hard drive for problems and consider replacing the solid-state drive to improve the boot speed. In addition, system garbage, IP addresses, viruses, dust, memory or disk fragments may also affect the boot time. You can try to clean up garbage, set a fixed IP, reload the system, clean up dust, increase memory, and defragment the disk to improve the boot speed. In short, according to the specific situation, you can take the corresponding solution to shorten the computer boot time.
The animals of the prairie often invited people to their homes to participate in ranching activities and enjoy milk, cheese, and other fresh and delicious food. Hence, here are some classic farm event invitations:
Let's herd the cows on the grassland together!
Come to our ranch and taste our cheese and milk!
Let's catch a rabbit or a squirrel together!
Let's barbecue mutton skewers on the grassland!
Let's make a grassland specialty dish together!
These invitations were filled with enthusiasm and the friendly atmosphere of inviting people to participate in ranches.
The long boot time can be optimized by the following methods:
1. Upgrading or replacing computer hardware: Upgrading or replacing the CPU, memory, and hard disk can increase the processing power and speed of the computer, thus speeding up the boot process.
2. System configuration adjustment: You can selectively start system services and boot options through the system configuration tool (such as msconfiguration) to reduce the burden of boot time.
3. Turn off unnecessary start-up items: Use the system configuration tool or third-party software optimization tool to disable unnecessary start-up items and reduce the load when starting up.
4. Defragment: Defragment the hard disk regularly to improve the continuity of file storage and improve the reading speed.
5. Modifies the BIOS settings: Turn on the quick boot option in the BIOS to speed up the system boot process.
6. Clean up temporary files: Clean up temporary files in the system regularly to free up storage space and improve the system's response speed.
