Chapter 440 Improvements of the ranch ([-]rd update today)
Before Ju An walked to the helicopter, Lawrence followed and said to Ju An, "I'll go over here after I finish my work. By the way, Professor Norman is sorting things out these days. I need to inform you about something!"

"Clean up things?" Ju An was stunned for a moment and then asked Lawrence: "Professor Norman won't leave, will he? Have you found a new subject?".Ju An was a little bit reluctant to hear Lehman tidying up his things. One good shield was gone, and his own defense immediately dropped by 5.00%.And it's almost the holidays, where can I find someone?Could it be that he dislikes the lack of funds given by his buddies?It shouldn't be, Lehman and his students were all smiling when they took the money, and Ju An didn't think he was a stingy person.So where is the problem?
Lawrence glanced at Ju An: "I thought you knew it! Professor Norman is not leaving, it seems that he is going to Hans Ranch for a while, and he said he wants to go to the site to take a good look at the plants cultivated by Professor Leonard on the ranch ".

"Huh~~!" Ju An let out a long breath: "I thought Professor Norman disliked our poor conditions here, and wanted to change to another place to eat."

"Hahaha!" Lawrence laughed and said to Ju An: "Professors Leonard and Norman are very satisfied with the current conditions, and they told me and Thomas two days ago to wait for the construction of the institute How could I leave? It is said that Professor Lehman sent an email to some of his friends, and many of them are willing to come here!".

Ju An clapped his hands: "That's really great, I hope there will be more of these animal husbandry talents."It’s best to come with many famous ones, on par with Lehmann, and everyone will be a shining shield, and it will be more convenient to secretly add some materials from time to time in the future.

I got on the plane in a happy mood and flew towards the old house on the ranch. I saw a group of cows being driven out in the sky, grazing on the snowy ground, and the cowboys drove the cows in a snowmobile. The cattle dogs were jumping on the snow, Ju An looked at it from above, and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Looking around, the land as far as the eye can see is our own, and it can be passed on to the next generation. It is really like seeing the slogan on the wall when I was a child: But save a square inch for future generations to cultivate!My buddy did a great job on this point, leaving hundreds of thousands of acres for future generations to cultivate!I can't even find the words to praise myself.

Humming a few lyrics back and forth, Ju An pushed open the door of the old house, and saw Thomas was pouring coffee as soon as he entered. His boots were still stained with snow. It seemed that he had just come in from the outside and threw his hat When I arrived at the big table in the living room: "Give me a drink too, after looking around, I finally feel relieved."

"Don't worry about the cows in our ranch. No one died in Lawrence's place. Only a newborn calf died here. He was out of luck. There was too much snow yesterday. The cowboys couldn't wait for the calf to be born." Thomas told Ju An Put a cup of coffee in front of him and said to Ju An with a smile.

"Was it a calf or a heifer?" Ju An gently picked up the coffee and blew on it, drank a little along the rim of the cup, and suddenly felt a hot flow down his throat to his stomach.

"Little bull, the cow gave birth to a calf for the first time and encountered dystocia." Thomas sat on the chair next to Ju An.

Nodded: "That's okay, this can be regarded as reducing the loss to a minimum, and there are other cows that want to give birth to calves?".

"This is a special situation, and the windy cowboys couldn't take care of it yesterday. At first I thought it would be a week or two, but who knew it was born last night," Thomas explained.

After hearing Thomas' explanation, Ju An smiled and asked Thomas, "Just now Lawrence told me that Professor Norman has something to discuss with me? What about this person, I'll call him right away."After speaking, he wanted to take out his mobile phone and call Norman.

"No need, I have called Professor Norman just now, and I think he will be here soon." Thomas stopped Ju'an from calling.

Since Professor Norman was coming, Ju An decided to wait here. After chatting with Thomas for a while, Ju An turned and stood up from the chair, and turned on the big wall-mounted TV on the wall. Cowboys have Sometimes I come here to watch football games or something, so the TVs in the office are very big.

As soon as I turned on the TV and tuned to the news, there were reports of snow disasters everywhere. After watching it for a while, Ju An felt that the snow disaster was still very serious. On the screen, one third of the cows in the fattening ranch were about to die, and the rancher lay facing him. The frozen dead cow carcass in the cowshed couldn't even cry.

"The price of beef will definitely increase a lot during Christmas. This snow has swept through many states, and it is still falling in some places." Thomas sighed, watching TV and said.

Ju An nodded. The rise in beef prices had little effect on Ju An. It was already high-end beef, how could it be so high?And there is no loss of cattle in his pasture.

Following Thomas, the old cowboy, watched TV with compassion for a while, Professor Norman opened the door and walked in with a small square bag wrapped in cowhide under his arm.Standing next to the two of them, they watched TV together for a while, then turned around and handed Ju An a few pieces of paper.

Ju An took the paper and flipped it over, most of them were writing forms, and trace elements of plants, these letters they knew Ju An, but Ju An didn't know them: "Why did you give me this thing? You know I can't read it. got it".

Professor Norman pulled a chair and sat down, and put the cowhide in his hand on the table: "Then let's talk about some areas for improvement in the ranch?".

"How much more? How can we improve the grazing?" Ju An looked at Thomas, and felt that the ranch is not bad now, how can it be improved?Thomas also looked at Norman with a strange expression.

Professor Norman waved his hand: "I'm not talking about the grazing situation, nor the Xishuihe pasture, but the Hans pasture."

"What's wrong with Hans Ranch? Isn't it honestly keeping the sheep now? Leonard is planning to expand the flock? Oh, I forgot to inform you, I'm going to get some donkeys to raise them and eat meat at that time." Ann said to Lehman.

Norman shook his head and said: "I have combined the research results of Professor Leonard during this period of time, and found that it is a bit wasteful to raise sheep with rhizomes, and we should raise cattle!".

"I want to raise cattle, but this white cow doesn't like to eat this plant at all." Ju An shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to Professor Norman, indicating that he had considered it before.

Norman smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not talking about beef cows, I'm talking about dairy cows! The trace elements in this plant are especially suitable for cows. I fed a few cows with thick root fern, and they produced milk after a month. The quality has obviously improved a lot, and the fat content is very low, and then I tested a few more cows and found that the situation is similar."

"Raise cows?" Ju An scratched his head. My buddy never thought about raising cows. I don't like milk. Besides, the milk at home is directly supplied, and the quality is very good. To be honest, the most important thing It’s Ju’an, it seems that the milk here in Laomei is too cheap, so there’s nothing to do, and the cows have to be milked every day, even if it’s fully mechanized, it’s not necessary to hire more people, and the dairy cows are really not suitable for Ju’an’s appetite. Big cheating party.

Thinking of this, Ju An said to Norman: "It's too troublesome to raise cows! And the price of milk is not high, it's not as convenient as raising goats for meat."

Seeing that Ju An was so clueless, Norman immediately explained: "I'm talking about the quality of milk products. Even if you don't sell raw milk, you can still make it into milk powder."

"Milk powder?" As soon as the milk powder was mentioned, Ju An immediately had three little deer jumping back and forth happily stepping on the dividend tickets, and then knocked on the table with both hands a few times: "The milk powder is really good! This one has a head!".Americans don’t eat it, so they can sell it domestically. Think about these profiteers at home and abroad, domestic ones add things, and foreign ones increase prices. In the future, my buddies will join so that you bastards can’t eat it!As long as the buddy guarantees the quality and the price is more reasonable, this can is all money.

Seeing that Ju An adopted his opinion, Norman happily continued: "In the future, Hans Ranch can mainly produce milk, and then it will be enough to build a milk processing company in Kingman."

This is simple. It is estimated that Ju An is talking to Myers now, and they can't wait to raise their feet to support.But when he thought that this buddy had no place to raise his donkey, and he was still waiting to eat donkey meat, he said to Professor Norman, "It's a pity, there is no place to raise donkey meat."

Norman glanced at Ju'an and said with a smile, "Then you can buy a pasture next year, or buy wasteland, plant ferns and raise donkeys and goats. Isn't that enough? You shouldn't be short of money."

"That's the only way!" Ju An nodded, it seemed that the desire to eat donkey meat from his pasture would be postponed for another year.

"Now that we've finished talking about Hans Ranch, let's talk about the cowhide. You two come and touch the cowhide I brought." Norman put the cowhide on the table.

Ju An reached out and grabbed the cowhide in his hand. It was soft and elastic: "Is this the cowhide from our ranch? It's different from the previous ones."After speaking, he handed it to Thomas, who took it and touched it twice and nodded.

"In the past, the ranch sold cowhide to leather goods manufacturers in the town. The price was too low. White cowhide is very breathable and soft. It is too wasteful to make these hundreds of dollars of handmade saddles with this kind of good material. , should be supplied to those famous brands!" Norman gave Ju An and Thomas each an A4 finger, Ju An glanced at it and didn't want to look at it, these researchers like to use numbers to express Convincing, but my buddies are afraid of looking at these letters, and they will feel dizzy when they look at them.

"Then I'll send the leather information to the fashion merchants in New York and see if they are interested." Thomas looked at the paper, put it down like Ju An, and touched the cowhide.

Ju An waved his hand and said, "Leave this to me."Talking about mixing fashion, Thomas’s way of spreading the net everywhere, it’s better to find someone to talk about it, who is it?The Lamborghini snowplow Miles in the morning is definitely competent. It’s okay to push a small model. Do you know a few people in the fashion industry?
