Alpine pasture

Chapter 13 Buying cattle and horses to add property ([-])
Ju An followed Thomas out of the large wooden house, and walked around the fence for a while. It turned out that the cows he photographed were placed in this fence, and there was a cowboy holding a list in his hand.

Thomas and Ju An followed the cowboy to the cash register set up by several wooden tables.Thomas asked for the cattle to be transported to the ranch. After a while, the cashier opened the bill, and Ju An took out the checkbook and wrote a check to the cashier.

When he came out, Mike was already waiting by the fence.

Seeing the two Ju An, they warmly greeted them.Next, Thomas made a new request to Mike, and then Mike promised Ju An to help buy the remaining cattle and send them to the pasture as soon as possible, and then signed an entrustment contract.

Ju An looked at the contract, which was basically a form with columns on top of it, the breed of cattle, the male and the female, the color, and a long list of what the company had done and what needles were used in great detail.

After a while, two large trailers were seen approaching the fence on this side, and then a few cowboys jumped into the fence, opened a gap, and drove the cattle onto the large trailer.

The two trailers had four layers of animal pens, and the last few left, just rushed into Ju'an's trailer.

With two large trailers, all the way to the ranch.

When they arrived at the farm, Nancy and Wynn came over to help unload the cattle. The bulls were very restless, and the herd just unloaded seemed to be a little nervous. Full of vigilance, a few people watched on the side for a while, waiting for the cows to spread out and start grazing before leaving.

Wynn mentioned that the sheep had been delivered, and took Ju An and Thomas to see the sheep.

The sheep were driven by Wynn on the playground not far from the foot of the mountain. They were nibbling on the grass leisurely. No, they blew twice. Next to the flock of sheep were squatting garlic heads, tiger heads and three preserved eggs.

Ju An took a look. There were a few big guys in the flock. They were a lot taller than the sheep next to them. They had long necks and were grazing leisurely. Take a closer look. what.

"How did these guys get in?" Pointing to the grass-mud horse, he said to Wynn.

"Generally raising sheep, it is better to put a few alpacas in the flock, which can prevent coyotes, because coyotes are opportunists. When the alpaca encounters danger, it will keep walking towards the coyote, and then the whole flock will It will follow, and the coyote will have no choice," Wynn explained.

This grass and mud horse is just two hundred and five, and it is indeed a divine beast, and I thought about it secretly.

"There are four hundred and eighty-seven sheep in total. Old Jason from Jason Ranch sent 210 sheep, and the rest were sent by Ricky from Bear Mountain Ranch," Wynn continued.

"Okay, I know I will write two checks at night. If you have time tomorrow, send them to me." As Ju An said, he approached a grass mud horse with black and white flowers. After walking a few steps, the grass mud horse raised his head and looked at it. He, then walked towards Ju An.

Just as he was about to reach out and touch the head of the beast, suddenly, the grass mud horse made a sound, and then a ball of water came towards him. Fortunately, Ju An hid quickly, and was almost sprayed with saliva by this guy, even on his pants. Splattered spots.

Ju An walked back angrily, Thomas and Wynn laughed happily.

"It's not familiar with you yet, Ann" Wynn said loudly.

I went back and changed a pair of trousers, and threw the clothes I had changed in a few days into the washing machine and washed them.Then just this bread, I ate some roast lamb. The roast lamb was roasted and sent by old Thomas. Nancy also had one. The lamb chops were tested directly with charcoal without any seasoning. The steak, slightly charred with the fat on the outside, the lamb was juicy and delicious.

By the time the sun went down, Thomas, Wynn, and Nancy had driven the sheep into the barn, and the cows near the barn, and the three dogs barked after the cows.

Thomas looked at Ju An and praised: "What a smart guy. It's great to drive cattle and sheep. It won't take long for three guys to become the best cattle dogs. It's the first time I've seen such a smart dog." .

Looking at the three guys standing next to the herd, holding their heads up and watching the herd, like a leader of a reviewing troop, Ju An nodded: "Well, I didn't raise these three guys for nothing." Thomas was speechless.

The next day, I handed the two cheques to Wynn, and followed Thomas to the horse farm to choose horses. When I was in China, Ju An had ridden Mongolian horses. Mongolian horses are better kept, but they are too short. The rider felt unpretentious, but he was helpless. Although there were also quarters, Arabians, and Andalusians in the horse farm, they were twice as expensive as Mongolian horses in an hour.

After driving on the country road for almost an hour, and crossing a small hill in the middle, I arrived at the horse farm.

The horse farm is not big, Thomas said that the [-] acres are mainly family horse farms that raise and sell horses to maintain the expenses of the horse farm.When the car stopped, the proprietress of the racecourse had already greeted them, shook hands with each other, and took Thomas and Ju An into a fence where there were about ten horses with water reins.

From Ju An's point of view, each one is tall and beautiful, and he even bought it back if he wanted to.

But old Thomas began to pick one horse at a time, explaining to Ju An as he picked it.

"This one is a little short and has problems turning the corners," Thomas said, pulling a navy blue horse.

"This one is not good, the muscle strength is almost, it is not suitable to drive cattle," Thomas explained while touching a horse.

"This one is very good, but the old injury on the leg is not certain." Touching a golden mare, Thomas shook his head regretfully, and lifted the horse's hind legs, allowing Ju An to touch the joints.

"This forelimb is a little stiff, which affects the speed, and it is too lively and not stable enough." Thomas patted the horse's butt gently.

Back and forth, Thomas ravaged every batch of horses in the stable, opened his mouth, pinched the muscles all over his body, tossed all the horses in the stable, and finally picked out four, all three of them were The common chestnut color, and a white spot with a chestnut color and a large piece, Ju An imagined that it was all white, black with black lines, and no carmine.

While Thomas and the rancher were saddling the horses, Ju An stepped out of the fence and looked at the horses grazing around.The green grass, the horses leisurely gnawed at the grass, the blue sky in the sky, the faint snow-white top of the mountain in the distance, the cypress and maple trees nearby are sometimes emerald green, sometimes the red leaves and the horses on the grass are intertwined into one. A stunning landscape painting.

Just as Ju An was immersed in the beautiful scenery, he suddenly felt that something was behind him.Looking back, he had a brown horse face and big eyes staring at Ju An, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Gently stroked the horse's nose, the other hand gently stroked along the horse's neck, and the silky softness of the horse's hair came from the palm of his hand. The horses are all taken care of so well, the horses in the domestic horse farms that feel a little dirty are incomparable.

After taking a step away, I looked at the brown horse carefully, only to find that this horse is physically different from the previous horse. The brown mane is thick and slender, and there are many slender and soft hairs on the four hooves. , the tail hair is thicker and longer than that of ordinary horses, almost dragging to the ground, there is a little white star on the forehead, about 1.7 meters in height, the whole horse is very beautiful and vigorous.

"Thomas, Thomas, come and see this one" Ju An shouted at Thomas.

Hearing the shouting, Thomas and the horse farm owner came over and looked at the horse next to Ju An and said to the horse farm owner, "Breeded Frisian horses?".

"Well, the two bred naughty guys from the horse farm, unfortunately it would be nice if they were black." The owner of the horse farm shook his head regretfully.

Thomas looked at Ju An, and then carefully inspected the horse: "Three years old, with good bones and muscles, four thousand dollars this horse".

The owner of the ranch smiled and said, "Money is not a problem, Thomas, I want to tell you that this little guy is restless, and I won't agree to return this guy."

Thomas looked at Ju An hesitantly, saw Ju An nodded and agreed.
