Alpine pasture

Chapter 191 Dressage?

After eating dinner with the little guys, Ju An gave Lawrence a phone call and informed Thomas along the way.Let the two of them come over and discuss something about the animal husbandry professor.

By the time the two of them finished their work, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the three of them were drinking hot coffee around the sofa.Lawrence touched Jinbao's small head and said to Ju An, "Now the two little mountain lions are not too small, you can try training to herd."

Ju An shook his head: "These two little things are thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and they are also training to herd, I think it's enough!".

"Small animals are naughty, and mountain lions can do a good job of guarding or herding, not much worse than a cattle dog, and this guy has a sharp nose and better ears and better hearing, and is better at finding lost cattle." Thomas also Followed with a smile.

He waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this question, Dinah just kept it in front of the two big cats, and often held it in her arms and waited until she couldn't hold it before thinking about training Hans and Jinbao." Ju An smiled at him. said to the two old men.

Then he paused and said, "There are two things to call you here this time. The first thing is that Thomas packed three cowboy dormitories and came out for the three of Professor Leonard to live in temporarily. The second thing is the old guy Leonard. Said that a professor from the University of Montana thought of the pasture to determine whether our gray cattle were a new breed. He said that if it was a good breed, he might stay on the pasture to help us cultivate cattle. He also said that the expert had research funds himself. I just feel that the thing about falling into a trap in the sky is a bit unreliable."

"University of Montana? If it is a professor of animal husbandry at the University of Montana, the quality of the animal husbandry professor is not bad. The University of Montana is also ranked around [-] universities in the United States. You don't have to worry about this. Just make sure that the cattle on the ranch are on the ranch, and I think he can do whatever tricks he can play," Thomas nodded and said.

Lawrence said with a smile: "Ann, many of these animal husbandry professors are wealthy, and this research funding is nothing to them. It is estimated that they are also preventing us from blindly directing. After all, if we provide funds, then research There are requirements. They can freely choose the research direction with their own research funds, but if these guys come here, if they can get us an excellent new breed and set up a breeding center, we will benefit a lot. The best is Saves money on veterinary visits a few times a year."

This is not bad, Laomei has a requirement that several veterinary examinations a year are essential, and these vampires are not much cheaper than doctors who see a doctor. Although the cows in their ranch never get sick, this money is still not saved. down.

"That's alright! It seems that there are quite a lot of benefits for you to say this. I'm a little bit hopeful that this professor will come over now, so as to save more money for the ranch." Ju An patted the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile.

After hearing Ju An's words, the two old cowboys also laughed.Following the two people, they took turns talking to Ju An about their business situation.Because the cost of pastures in Ju'an is very low, it is a lot lower than other pastures. With the two magic weapons of vines and pastures, it saves money on water supply facilities and buys organic oats and corn. Don’t look at the little three. In this way, it almost accounts for more than half of the cost of the ranch. There are many things that supply water. Smaller thousands of acres of ranches are basically fully automatic irrigation. The entire ranch starts to be watered at the touch of a button. If a large ranch like Ju'an is full of this kind of It is estimated that the water supply will be tens of millions of dollars, not to mention the maintenance after it is built, and if this pipeline is to be taken over, some easement issues will be involved.

Now that the cost has been greatly reduced, only labor costs remain.The boss, Ju An, is not stingy. Although the ranch is not yet profitable, the money scene is still very promising. Therefore, according to Thomas and Lawrence's evaluation of the cowboys before Christmas, everyone has a small red envelope. Thomas has the most Ju'an gave more than 1 US dollars, and Lawrence also gave more than 5000. After all, Lawrence was much more expensive than Thomas.Wynn and Andrew are also close to 8000, and the rest of the cowboys vary, at least a month's salary.

In fact, these bonuses are nothing to Ju An. There are only more than 20 cowboys in total, and each person’s 20 is only more than [-]. The key is that the money not only makes the cowboys pay more attention to work, but also buys them a good reputation. For working here in the United States, in the words of the little devil, it is very important and a very cost-effective business.

Then Ju'an, the rancher's reputation for being stingy began to spread on a small scale. The only advantage is that it is much easier to recruit cowboys. Now there are only two skilled Chilean cowboys in the ranch. The local cowboys, of course, the two strong ones are also counted among the local cowboys. The three of them are treated exactly the same as the American cowboys here.

After chatting for a while, Ju An asked the two old cowboys to go back after seeing that it was getting late, but Thomas lived next to him with nothing.Lawrence has a long way to go on horseback.It's better to let the old man go back early.

If it is Lao Mei’s efficiency, it is really not picky. Ju Angang and Thomas discussed it. The second day after Professor Leonard moved into the ranch, the animal husbandry expert came by car. pasture.

After receiving the news from Leonard, Ju An took Thomas in front of the ranch house to welcome the professor, and watched the two cars not far away slowly come to a stop in front of him.Then I saw a man in his 40s getting out of the car with a group of five or six young people.

At this time, Leonard led Ju An to come forward to introduce: "This is Rancher Ann, and this is my colleague I mentioned to you, Professor Norman, a professor of animal husbandry at the University of Montana."

Following Ju An, he walked up to Thomas and shook hands with the young professor, and while listening to Leonard's introduction, Ju An carefully looked at the professor, who was 1.8 meters tall. Appearance, black curly hair, brown eyes, blue stubble on the thin chin, very clean shaved, a short coat with a light-colored checked scarf around the neck, much better than Leonard in the photo Alright, the old Leonard probably stops by the side of the street at night, and probably nine out of ten people will think he is an old prostitute.

After a chat, Ju An said to the Norman professor, "Let's go in and have a cup of coffee."

Who knew that Professor Norman shook his head and smiled at Ju An and said, "Let's go and see the cow first. Leonard described to me the weight of an African bison. I want to see it with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Ju An led the professor's group to the place where the horses were kept. The couple were grazing among the horses. When they noticed a group of people coming, they looked up and saw Ju An belt. He ran towards Ju An with his wife behind the bean grass.

Waiting to run in front of Ju An, Professor Norman directly ignored Dou Cao who approached Ju An.After carefully looking at Daniel and his wife, the heifer, he turned to Ju An and said, "Good guy! It's really big. It seems that Leonard is not exaggerating. It looks like it weighs more than 2000 pounds."

Thomas next to Ju An nodded: "110 pounds, and the cow next to him weighed 840 pounds. I just weighed it two days ago, and the mature bulls on the other side of the herd weigh about [-] pounds. The cows are also around eighteen hundred pounds."

Ju An heard that it was good, and I was afraid that it would be a really big cow of about one ton in terms of kilograms.Touching the bridge of Daniel's nose, Daniel closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed Ju An's touch.

Professor Norman watched the Daniel couple attentively for a long time, then turned to Ju An and said, "It's a completely new breed of cattle. Although I don't know the meat quality, it's a breakthrough just by looking at the body shape." .

Ju An was stunned: You can be sure that this is a new breed of cattle?In a blink of an eye, this guy is relying on this to eat, can you not know, it is estimated that most of the outstanding cattle breeds in the world can talk about this guy for a few days, buddy is thinking about this for nothing.

"I want to take another look at your herd, which is the herd of this kind of cattle. I heard Leonard say there are dozens of them," Professor Norman said to Ju An.

Ju An looked at Thomas next to him, and Thomas nodded: "Then let's go to see the cattle. There is a distance from here, everyone, let's go on horseback, you can ride horses."

Seeing that Norman and the helpers behind him nodded, everyone began to prepare horses, watching the skilled techniques of the group of people, but they were really engaged in animal husbandry, and they were very skilled.Leonard didn't follow the cattle this time. Instead, he prepared his own saddle and continued to study his pasture.

Of course, Ju An was riding the bean grass, got on the horse and ran alongside the three of Norman Professor Thomas, and ran for a while.Only now did Norman pay attention to the bean grass under Ju An's crotch: "First-class Frisian, unfortunately the color is not good".

"If it was black, it would cost several times more money to buy it," Ju An said with a smile while holding the reins of the bean grass.

Norman took a look at the bean grass: "Even this kind of body is rare in Frisian, with strong and strong hooves, high and elegant legs, and firm eyes. It is an excellent horse. You can try to participate. Dressage, you can get a lot of impression points just by looking like this.”

Thomas explained with a smile on the side: "This can't work! Except for Ann and Ann's girlfriend to ride, no one can get on his horse, and when he gets on, he jumps so hard, even a good cowboy can't support it. In a few seconds, the cowboys in the ranch tried their skills several times, but none of them lasted more than three seconds, and they jumped high and violently twice and threw the person out."

After hearing this, Norman nodded: "Unfortunately, if you have a professional jockey, you can go to the competition, and the price will soar a lot immediately after the result."

Ju An didn't think in his heart, even if the price reached 800 million US dollars, could he still be willing to give up Dou Cao? Dou Cao has become a part of his life, and money can't measure his value.Just like every time Wang Fan comes, he envies Ju An for having a horse that is loyal to him. It is not a trivial matter to save face.
