Alpine pasture

Chapter 116
Ju An nodded with a smile and said to the two people: "That is to say, the time-consuming ranch has enough manpower. If there is a shortage of manpower next year, then we will buy a few more helicopters. The single-person ones will be able to drive cattle at that time. It's more convenient."

Lawrence shook his head and said, "Helicopter driving cattle is really easy and labor-saving, but the quality of the meat will be a lot worse, because when the helicopter is driving, the cattle run too fast, so the muscles are more developed, so now except for leisure pastures. Except for helicopters, ordinary manual grazing is generally used, and it is recommended not to use helicopters. Although the wages of cowboys are saved, the quality of beef is also reduced a lot. Comprehensively, the ranch is still losing money.”

Well!When Ju An heard this, she secretly thought that there is no excuse to play helicopters now, what a pity.

At this time, Old Thomas looked at the regretful Ju An with a smile and said, "Actually, it would be good for the ranch to prepare two helicopters next year. It will be more convenient for me and Lawrence to inspect the ranch, and we don't have to ride a horse for a long distance." , It is also convenient to check the fence around the ranch, after all, more than 5 acres are circled, and driving alone is much slower.”

When Ju An heard this statement, he immediately became happy again: "Then I will buy two in the spring of next year, and then I will follow suit."

Lawrence said with a smile: "Then get two, it's worth $10,000+. Just now I heard Thomas say that the ranch has scalp Flo, so I went to see it. It's really good. My suggestion is to put it down." For the job, the three of us will look for it together, fearing that something will go wrong after a long time."

Ju An scratched his head, why did he go back to the big bull's head again? It seems that this good cow is really attractive to the two old cowboys. I had no choice but to nod and said, "That's fine! We'll set off tomorrow afternoon."

Having received the answer, Thomas and Lawrence took up their hats and left the room.

Ju An waited for the two to leave, then entered the space, fed the birds, carefully counted a herd of cows, even including the newborn calves, the whole herd had more than 60 heads of large and small, looked carefully All of a sudden, cows, large and small, accounted for more than half, nearly forty, while bulls accounted for a small number of more than 20 heads.

Ju An observed back and forth, and then left the space, thinking about getting these guys out tomorrow morning, so as to save the two old men from urging them.

At night, Ju An sneaked out and found Da Niu who was in the stable. This guy was lying in front of Dou Cao's stable and grazing face to face with Dou Cao. The haystack was quite high, probably placed by Nancy on purpose. Seeing Ju An coming in, some horses looked at Ju An with wide eyes, and patted their big heads one by one. When he got close to Daniel, he took this guy into the space.

When Ju An came out of the space, he saw all the horses in the stable looking at Ju An with big eyes. Ju An clapped his hands and said triumphantly: "Although you have the IQ of two or three-year-old children, it's a pity It’s because you can’t talk, you can’t report on me.”Then he opened the door of the stable and looked outside, then sneaked out of the stable under the watchful eyes of a group of horse heads.

In the morning, Ju An was still sleeping in bed, when he heard a knock on the door, and then came the voice of old Thomas: "Ann! Ann! Get up quickly, the cow is gone."

Ju An opened his eyes, opened the door wearing only a pair of big pants and pajamas, and saw old Thomas standing at the door holding a cowboy hat.

Seeing that Ju An opened the door, Old Thomas said, "The cow you brought back yesterday was gone. I searched around the ranch, but I couldn't find it. Nancy said it was in the stable at last, and she added more on purpose." some fodder".

Looking at the anxious old Thomas, Ju An felt apologetic, and said, "Then you guys take care of the cattle first, and I'll do the same. We're looking for them. If we can't find them, we'll go into the mountains at noon to look for them." .

Thomas nodded, and left the room. His hurried footsteps made the floor slap. Ju An closed the door, quickly tidied himself up, went into the space and put some shredded meat to feed the baby bird, and then left Then he took the two little mountain lions out of the space, drove Teddy out of the house, and asked Wu Song to feed the little mountain lions.

Then he went out of the house, went to the stable to prepare a saddle for the bean grass, and galloped towards the foot of the mountain, to the edge of his pasture, passed through a forest, dismounted, and released all the cattle in the space, and then Patted Daniel on the head and said: "Be good, take the cattle back to the pasture." Then he got on the back of Dougao's horse, walked a few steps towards the pasture, looked back at Daniel, who was holding his head high With a moo of his head, he followed slowly. When the big cow moved, the herd moved forward.

Ju An felt relieved, hit the horse and galloped towards the pasture. When they got back to the pasture, Thomas and Lawrence had gathered a dozen or so cowboys. Everyone got on the horse. The two old men were distributing the manpower. It seemed that they were going to spread out to look for them. Seeing this scene, Ju An felt a little more guilty. He should avoid doing such things with his uncle in the future. After all, the two old men are both over 50 years old. The old man was disturbed and felt a little guilty about making troubles. After all, the secret of Zhuzi couldn't be revealed.

Watching Ju An come on horseback, Lawrence said: "Thomas ran to me early in the morning and said that the cow was missing. After I packed up there, I brought a few people over."Hearing what Lawrence said, Ju An also noticed that there were several Chilean cowboys among the cowboys.

After Thomas finished assigning tasks, a dozen or so cowboys scattered in all directions, and Ju An followed Lawrence Thomas in a group of three to search.

As Ju An intentionally took the two old men forward zigzagging in the direction of the cattle, and when they arrived at the place where Ju An grazed the cattle, the cattle disappeared, and Ju An became a little worried. Didn't he just run away and lose it? , this guy is out of a big joke.

Thomas looked at it, but shouted happily: "Ann! Lawrence came to see, there are some cow dung and hoof marks here, there are quite a few good ones, probably dozens of them."

Lawrence also urged the horse forward, then got off the horse, brushed away the cow dung with a twig, and said happily: "It was left over an hour ago. The cows are not far away. If you look around, you will find them." In which direction are you going?"As soon as they finished speaking, the two old men searched around, and after a while they found the whereabouts of the cow, and the three of them got on the horse again and searched along the traces, slowly looking towards the pasture, waiting for the cattle to be found. The three of An entered the pasture and found the more than 60 cows in a forest. The big cow was slowly nibbling a young leaf on a small tree. The cows also protected the calf in the middle and were eating and drinking in the woods. As for the rest, some cows even lay down.

Thomas and Lawrence immediately excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and called the rest of the cowboys to come over, then got off the horse and carefully inspected the cows. Seeing the excitement of the two old men, Juan said to the two : "When the cattle are driven back, then these cattle are called Thomas and Lawrence cattle, or TL gray cattle for short."

The smiles on the faces of the two old men, Thomas and Lawrence, were even more. After a while of inspection, the rest of the cowboys also arrived. Everyone dismounted and joined the inspection ranks. Other ranch marks, what else do I waste my energy on.

Waiting for a group of people to check it again, but found no signs, they happily drove the cattle back. Who knew that Da Niu didn't seem to like being with the cattle. Beside the grass, Old Thomas saw this scene and said with a smile: "It seems that this guy thinks he is a horse, this time he can find a herd of cows so easily, thanks to this guy, knowing that he will bring the herd back, I will return it Thought I ran away, Ann! I have to say you're lucky."

Ju An scratched his head and said, "It has nothing to do with luck, everything is possible with a good character."Seeing old Thomas with a question mark on his forehead, he explained what character is.

Lawrence said with a smile: "You are not lucky? You bought a ranch, and the previous owner didn't maintain it very much. Who knew that special pasture grew when it was hit right and wrong, and went hunting in the mountains. I didn’t catch them, but I found a batch of good cattle. I forgot that it’s called TL Gray Cattle now. The two of us also got a little bit of credit. Now I hope it’s a unique breed, and Thomas and I will be famous by then. Whenever this kind of cow is mentioned in the book, our name will be mentioned."

After driving a group of cows back to the pasture, Lawrence took the Chilean cowboys back to his own place, and Thomas called Wynn and Da Zhuang over, and separated the gray cows. The strongest four or five The first bull stayed in this herd, and the rest of the adult bulls were rushed to the big herd, and Wynn was asked to take care of this herd, and Da Zhuang took over Wynn's seat and managed the big herd.

Ju An was puzzled and asked next to him: "Why do you want to drive the rest of the bulls away? Isn't it better to put them together?"

Thomas explained: "The few strong bulls are enough for breeding. The rest are a little weaker than those bulls, or have a little problem, so they will stay in the large herd as breeding cattle. It can increase the overall weight of the existing herd, even if the remaining young bulls are slightly defective after they grow up, they will be removed to ensure the breeding genes of this herd. The quality of the herd of cattle can only get higher and higher. In fact, it is similar to the reproduction of horse breeds. It is the survival of the fittest. Bad stallions basically become geldings, the same reason.”

Ju An thought for a while, and felt that what Thomas said made sense, so he stopped interfering with Thomas' distribution plan.
