Chapter 13 Buying cattle and horses to add belongings (2)
Ju An followed Thomas and left the big wooden house, and walked for a while to a fence. It turned out that the cows he had photographed were placed in this fence, and there was a cowboy holding a list in his hand.
Thomas took Ju An and followed the cowboy to the cashier's counter set up with several wooden tables. Thomas asked for the cows to be transported to the pasture. After calculating for a while, the cashier issued a bill and Ju An took out his checkbook.
I wrote a check and gave it to the cashier.
When we came out, Mike was already waiting by the fence.
Seeing Ju An and the two of them, they greeted them enthusiastically. Then Thomas made another request to Mike, and then Mike promised Ju An to help purchase the remaining cattle as soon as possible and send them to the pasture, and then signed an entrustment contract.
.
Ju An looked at the contract. It was basically a form, with column after column describing the breed of cattle, male and female, color, and a long list of details such as whether they had received social injections.
After a while, I saw two large trailers approaching the fence here. Then a few cowboys jumped into the fence, opened a gap, and drove the cattle onto the large trailers.
There were four levels of animal pens in two trailers, and the last few animals just rushed into Ju An's trailer.
With two large trailers, we headed all the way to the ranch.
When they arrived at the farm, Nancy and Wynn came over to help unload the cows. The bulls were very restless, and the newly unloaded cows seemed a little nervous. The calves cuddled tightly next to the cows. They were very worried about the new environment.
Full of vigilance, several people watched for a while and waited until the cows dispersed and started 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 to the playground not far from the foot of the mountain. They were munching grass leisurely and bleating twice. Beside the sheep were squatting garlic, tiger heads, and three preserved eggs.
Ju An took a look and saw that there were actually a few big guys among the sheep. They were much taller than the sheep next to them. They had long necks and were eating grass leisurely. When he took a closer look, holy shit, these are not the mythical beasts of the Internet.
What.
"How did these guys get in?" He pointed at Cao Mu Ma and said to Wynn.
"Generally when raising sheep, it is better to put a few alpacas in the flock to prevent coyotes, because coyotes are opportunists. When alpacas are in danger, they will keep walking towards coyotes, and then the entire flock will
The coyote will follow him and there will be nothing he can do," Wynn explained.
This grass mud horse is just like a 250. It is indeed a mythical beast, I thought to myself secretly.
"There are 487 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'm writing two checks tonight. If you have time tomorrow, please help me deliver them." Ju An said as he approached a black-and-white horse. After taking a few steps, the horse raised its 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 mythical beast, suddenly, the grass-mud horse suddenly made a noise, and then a ball of water dropped towards him. Fortunately, Ju An dodge quickly and was almost sprayed with saliva by this guy, and his pants were still covered with saliva.
Splotches of spray.
Ju An walked back angrily, while Thomas, Wynn and the others laughed heartily.
"It's not familiar with you yet, Ann" Wynn said loudly.
I went back and changed into a pair of trousers, threw the clothes I had changed over the past few days into the washing machine, and washed them. Then I ate some roast lamb with this bread. Old Thomas had roasted the lamb and brought it to me. Nancy also had a portion, lamb.
The steak is grilled directly over charcoal without adding any condiments. This is the first time I have eaten this kind of grilled lamb chop in Ju'an. The fat on the outside is slightly burnt, and the lamb is delicious and juicy. It tastes great.
By the time the sun went down, Thomas, Wynn, and Nancy had already herded the sheep into the barn, and the cows had also arrived near the barn. The three dogs were barking behind the cows.
Thomas looked at Ju An and praised: "What a smart guy. He is great at driving cattle and sheep. It won't take long for the three guys to become the best cattle dogs. This is the first time I have seen such a smart dog."
.
Looking at the three guys standing next to the cattle, holding their heads high and staring at the cattle, as if they were the leaders of the reviewing troops, Ju An nodded: "Well, I didn't raise these three guys in vain."
Thomas was speechless.
The next day, he handed the two checks to Wynn, and then drove to the racecourse with Thomas to choose horses. When he was in China, Ju An had ridden Mongolian horses. Mongolian horses are easier to raise, but they are too short. Ju An is a dilettante.
The rider feels that it is not impressive, but he has no choice but to be short of money. Although there are quarter horses, Arabian horses, and Andalusian horses in the racecourse, they are twice as expensive as the Mongolian horses in an hour, which often makes Ji An feel his bag and sigh.
We drove for almost an hour on a country road, passing through a small hill before we arrived at the racecourse.
The horse farm is not big, Thomas said it has forty acres. It is mainly a family horse farm that raises and sells horses to support the expenses of the horse farm. When the car stopped, the proprietress of the horse farm had already come over, shook hands with each other, and took Thomas and Ju An with her.
Entering a pen, there were about ten horses with water and reins inside.
From Ju An's point of view, each one was tall, big, and beautiful, and he even wanted to buy them all.
But old Thomas began to select the horses one by one, explaining to Ju An while selecting.
"This horse is a bit short and will have problems when turning," Thomas said, pulling a navy blue horse.
"This one is not good. It has poor muscle strength and is not suitable for driving cattle." Thomas explained while touching a horse.
"This one is very good, but I can't be sure about the old injury on the leg." Touching a golden mare, Thomas shook his head regretfully, then raised the horse's hind legs and let Ju An touch the joints.
"This horse's forelimbs are a little stiff, which affects its speed, and it's too lively and not steady enough." Thomas gently patted the horse's butt.
Back and forth, Thomas tore through each group of horses in the stable, opened their mouths, squeezed all the muscles in the body, and tormented all the horses in the stable. Finally, he selected four horses, and three of them were
The common maroon color, but there is also one that is actually maroon with large white spots. I imagined it to be all white, with black spots and no carmine at all.
While Thomas and the owner of the horse farm were saddling the horses, Ju An walked out of the fence and looked at the horses grazing around. The green grassland, the horses gnawing the grass leisurely, the blue sky in the sky, and the faint mountain tops in the distance.
The snow-white, sometimes emerald green, sometimes fiery red leaves of the nearby cypress and maple trees intertwined with the horses on the grass to create a beautiful landscape.
While Ju An was immersed in the beautiful scenery, he suddenly felt something behind him. When he looked back, he saw a brown horse face, with big eyes staring at Ju An, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He gently touched the horse's nose, and gently stroked the horse's neck with his other hand. The horse's hair felt as soft as silk on his palm. Ju An, the owner of the racecourse, couldn't help but admire him secretly in his heart.
The horses are so well cared for, and the dirty-looking horses in domestic horse farms are simply incomparable.
I took a step away and looked at the brown horse carefully, only to realize that this horse's physique was different from the previous horse. The brown horse's mane was thick and slender, and there were many slender and soft talons on the four hooves.
, the tail hair is also much thicker and longer than that of ordinary horses, almost dragging to the ground. There is a little white star on the forehead, and it is about 1.7 meters tall. The whole horse is very beautiful and strong.
"Thomas, Thomas, come and see this horse" Ju An shouted to Thomas.
Hearing the shouting, Thomas and the horse farm owner came over, looked at the horse next to Ju An and said to the horse farm owner: "A Friesian horse that has been bred bad?".
"Well, the two horses bred from the racecourse are naughty guys. Unfortunately, it would be better if they were black." The racecourse owner shook his head regretfully.
Thomas looked at Ju An, and then carefully inspected the horse: "It's three years old, with good bones and muscles. This horse costs four thousand dollars."
The racecourse owner smiled and said, "Money is not an issue, Thomas. I want to tell you that this little guy is restless. If you want to return this guy, I will not agree to it."
Thomas looked at Ju An hesitantly and saw Ju An nodded in agreement.
