Alpine pasture

Chapter 319

The people from the Ministry of Agriculture arrived near Ju An's pasture at ten o'clock. Thomas hung up the phone to Ju An. Then Ju An set off from his home in a helicopter. When he was in the sky, he saw two people on the road. A convoy of trucks and an SUV, presumably the convoy of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The plane stopped in front of the ranch house, walked down into the house and waited for a while with Thomas and the others. Then the convoy arrived at the ranch. Thomas and Ju An greeted them out.

A total of ten people came from the entire Ministry of Agriculture. Ju An shook hands with them one by one and introduced themselves to each other. The leader of the team named Cole said to Ju An: "Mr. An, let's start testing cattle."

Knowing these old American work habits, Ju An nodded: "Well! Well, let's go to the cattle herd to select cattle. You can't drive big cars in the ranch. You can only drive your SUV at most."

Cole nodded: "The cart is only for slaughter and laboratory analysis, and you need your help to select cattle in the pasture!".

Ju nodded to Thomas and Lawrence, and the two old men walked towards the garage to drive the pickup truck out of the ranch. A dozen or so Ministry of Agriculture personnel sat in the pickup truck and drove to the ranch with Ju An. herd.

The first to arrive is the herd of white cows. The snow-white cows are like white clouds floating on the emerald green pasture. Now the pasture near the office is full of white cows, only half of the black one managed by Lawrence. cattle, and all gray cattle near the pond.

The convoy stopped next to the herd of white cattle, and the group got out of the car.Cole said to Ju An: "It's really a good pasture! I have been to so many pastures and this is the first time I have seen such a good pasture. I can feel the full moisture in the grass leaves, no wonder the price is ten times higher than ordinary alfalfa!”.

Thomas replied with a smile: "Only good grass can raise good cattle and sheep. Needless to say, our pasture is not a piece of pasture in the whole country that can compare with ours. If you want to come in winter, you can I saw that no matter how cold it is, the grass stems are still tender green at a distance of more than ten centimeters, and our cattle do not eat the stored forage at all, and like to dig up the snow to eat the grass on the ground."

Cole carefully looked at the pasture grass next to his legs. It would be very difficult to walk with the grass stems up to his thighs. He said to Ju An, "Please help us with some cowboys. test, and measure your weight in the evening."

Lawrence smiled and said: "Wait until the cows return to the resting forest at night before doing these things. Today we will let the cowboys drive the cattle back early, and we will return to the resting forest at about four o'clock. You can pick whatever you want at that time." Dozens of cows have been measured, now let’s hurry up and pick the ones for slaughter.”

After hearing this, Cole smiled and said: "Thank you for your cooperation, then we will start to pick! Is there only this herd?".

Ju An shook his head and smiled: "A small group is about a few thousand heads. What you see now are three small groups. It may take a few hours to read them all."

After hearing this, Cole said to Juan: "Look at it all, Betty is going to take pictures, and Stam, you are going to video."Then he started to order people.

Seeing these people getting busy, driving an SUV around the herd and taking photos, Ju An and Thomas Lawrence stepped aside, while Leonard and Professor Norman went up to help.

"It will take several hours to take pictures, and it will take at least two days to complete the selection of cattle and slaughter," Ju An said, frowning at Thomas Lawrence.

Lawrence shook his head and replied: "At least three days! It depends on how many cows they plan to measure. If you have something to do, you can go first, and they won't mind!"

Ju An said with a smile: "What can I do, the most is to pick up Nini in the afternoon, other time is free to arrange at will. Yesterday old Taylor came and said that he wanted a few white cows to raise. I said more than 30. Specifically, when the price of white cattle is fixed, you can inform him and see how many he wants.”

"I know that." Thomas nodded, "When his new house is built, the two of us will be considered neighbors."

"His house was chosen next to yours?" Ju An asked.

Thomas nodded. The old man is now living with a woman two days a week, and he has no plans to get married. In this way, the two live together. Ju An thinks the old man is fashionable enough. The rest of the time the woman lived in her new home worked on the ranch.Lawrence brought his wife over as well. In comparison, Lawrence is closer to the community. It takes half an hour to drive to the house. It is much more convenient than Thomas to go home for lunch every day. Take care of small things Cowboys take time off and take care of the ranch on weekends. Ordinary cowboys rest on weekends as usual. After more than a year, the cowboys have said that it is the management that does not rest on weekends. Of course, the dividends should be higher.

In fact, which day of rest is not important to these cowboys. After marriage, the old and beautiful housewives generally take care of the family at home, and they can see each other whenever they go back. Unlike domestic two people who both work, it is easy to cause family problems if they are out of rhythm.

After running with the people from the Ministry of Agriculture for more than two hours, everyone returned to the house to eat. Of course, they ate their own food.After getting used to it, Ju An didn't feel that he should invite these people to dinner, even if he invited them, he would refuse. Of course, drinking a few cups of hot coffee is fine, but eating your meal may cause them to lose their jobs, including This is always the case when people from the IRS come to the ranch to check the accounts. There is no treat for dinner. If you insist on inviting them, they will even think that you want to bribe them. I have to feel that the anti-corruption efforts of the old and beautiful low-rise buildings are still very strong. As for those high-level executives who like to eat anything with a good appetite, it is another matter. They pay attention to skills in collecting money, and even developed a unique model.

In the afternoon, I continued to follow a group of people to pick out two white cows, and sent them to the big trailer to start slaughtering. It’s okay to eat beef in Ju’an, but I don’t have much interest in watching cows being slaughtered. I’m even less interested in hearing that cows will cry when slaughtering cows. Fortunately, the cow got into the carriage, and when the door was closed, Juan couldn't see anything.

After seeing that the cattle had been slaughtered, the three of Ju An were invited into the carriage, and a report was handed over to Ju An, take a closer look!A long list of names such as chuck, short lion, etc. made Ju An feel a bit big. The whole cow was divided into more than a dozen parts, and the meat of each part had different names.Ju An’s family only eats the part with a lot of meat, such as beef ribs and tendons, and of course tripe, beef heart and intestines. Carnivorous animals actually prefer it to pure beef, which saves Ju'an a lot of money.

Looking at the beef placed on the stainless steel table in the car, Cole said: "The fat distribution is very good, and the pattern is also very unique. It is the same as the one delivered last time, and the quality is probably about the same. You have bred an excellent breed of cattle." ".

Seeing that the beef slices were covered with light yellow tangles, Ju An said to Cole, "It's all thanks to the cowboys. The patterns of gray cows are smaller than those of white cows, and the fat is whiter. We The ranch called him TL cattle after Thomas and Lawrence."

The two old men laughed from ear to ear when they heard Ju An's words. Thomas said to Ju An, "Then the white cow will be named after you, and it will be called June Bull."

After hearing this, Ju An quickly said: "No need, it's better to use the current name, Xishuihe White Bull, don't change it if it sounds nice."

After hearing this, Lawrence said to Ju An: "You are the boss, you have the final say. Then name it after the ranch. In fact, it is a very honorable thing to add a name. Every time you mention this The gray cow will mention the names of me and Thomas, how meaningful, even if we die in the future, others will remember our names because of this kind of cow.”

Ju An shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't enjoy this!".I thought that if I slaughtered a cow in the future, someone would say to bring that cow over and slaughter it, and my neck felt a little chilly.

Cole smiled and said after hearing this: "Then the name will be formalized in this way. From now on, we will use Xishuihe white cattle for reporting, and gray cattle will be TL cattle. Wait for their test results. I can only do part of it, and the rest will be saved and taken to the laboratory to continue to complete, but I believe there will be no major difference after seeing the environment of the ranch, let’s go down.”After speaking, he took the three of Ju An out of the car.

Seeing that the sky was getting better, Ju An said to Cole, "I still have some things to do, so I'll go first. If you have any requests, you can talk to Thomas and Lawrence, or the two professors Leonard. Sorry."

Cole stretched out his hand and shook Ju An: "It's okay, I will tell you if you need assistance from the ranch."

After getting on the plane, the Ju'an driver returned home, entered the house and drank a cup of tea, then drove Nini back home from the town in his own car.

After the car stopped, the girl opened the car door and jumped down, shouting loudly: "Mom, brother, I'm back".He ran towards the house with a little leg.

Ju An got out of the car behind and thought: What a child, he is so energetic every day, except when he is sleeping, he is never tired for a moment.

After entering the room, Nini sat on the carpet with her younger brother in her arms, leaning her head against his younger brother's head and muttering: "Brother! Why are you so attractive?"The son probably felt uncomfortable being hugged by the girl, he kept stretching out his chubby hand to push his sister away, but he couldn't push her away no matter how weak he was, Ju An didn't care about the fight between the two little guys and managed to be comfortable on the sofa I closed my eyes and rested after a day of running.

Just a few seconds after I felt comfortable, I heard Nini shouting: "Dad! Mom! Help!".

As soon as Ju An opened his eyes, he saw that his son had grabbed Nini's hair in his hands at some point. The little fat hand opened, and then hugged on the sofa.
