Ju An and the little guys finished their dinner in a hurry, then gave Lawrence a call and notified Thomas at the same time. He asked the two of them to come over to discuss the matter of being a professor of animal husbandry.
By the time the two of them finished what they were doing, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the three of them were sitting around the sofa drinking hot coffee. Lawrence touched Jin Bao's little head and said to Ju An: "Now the two little mountain lions are gone.
If they are young, you can try to train them to herd.”
Ju An shook his head: "I'm disgusted to see these two little guys planning to eat, drink and have fun every day, and even train to herd animals!".
"Small animals are naughty, and mountain lions can do a very good job of guarding or herding, not much worse than a cattle dog. Moreover, this guy has a sensitive nose and better hearing, and is better at finding lost cattle." Thomas also
Then he said with a smile.
He waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this question for now. Dinah just keeps two big cats in front of her. She often holds them in her arms and waits until she can't hold them anymore before thinking about training Hans and Jinbao." Ju An smiled at him
Said to the two old men.
Then he paused and continued: "I'm calling you here for two things this time. The first thing is that Thomas packed up three cowboy dormitories and gave them to Professor Leonard and three people to live in temporarily. The second thing is that this old guy Leonard
He said that a professor from the University of Montana came to the ranch to confirm whether our gray cattle were a new breed. He said that if they were sure they were improved breeds, he might stay at the ranch to help us train the cattle. He also said that the expert had his own research funds.
I feel like the trap in the sky is a bit unreliable."
"University of Montana? The quality of the animal husbandry professors at the University of Montana is pretty good. The University of Montana is also ranked around 100 universities in the United States. You don't have to worry about this. We can profit from both ends anyway.
Just make sure that the cows in the pasture are in the pasture. Whatever tricks he can do, I think I can agree to it." Thomas nodded and said.
Lawrence smiled and said: "An, many of these animal husbandry professors have a lot of money. This research fund is nothing to them. I guess they are also guarding against us giving random instructions. After all, if we provide funds, it will be very important to the research."
There are requirements. If they have research funds, they can freely choose the research direction. But if these guys come over and get us a new and excellent variety and set up a breeding center, we will benefit a lot. The best thing is
Save money on veterinary visits several times a year.”
This is not bad. Here in the United States, it is stipulated that several veterinary examinations a year are necessary, and these vampires are not much cheaper than doctors who treat people. Although the cows in my pasture never get sick, I still can't save this money.
Come down.
"Okay! It seems like there are quite a lot of benefits when you put it this way. Now I'm kind of looking forward to this professor coming over so that I can save more money for the ranch." Ju An patted the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile.
After listening to Ju An's words, the two old cowboys also laughed. The two took turns telling Ju An about their business conditions. Since the cost of Ju'an's ranch is very low, it is lower than other ranches.
Da Jiezi, with the two magic weapons of vines and pasture, can save money on water supply facilities and buy organic oats and corn. Don't look at the small three, they almost occupy the pasture.
It is more than half the cost of the farm. There are many water supplies. Smaller pastures of several thousand acres are basically fully automatic irrigation. With a button, the entire pasture starts sprinkling water. If large pastures like Ju'an all have this kind of water supply, it is estimated that there will be a lot of water supply.
It would cost tens of millions to finance, not to mention the maintenance after completion, and if the pipeline is to be connected, some easement issues will be involved.
Since the cost has been greatly reduced, only labor money is left. Ju An, the boss, is not stingy. Although the ranch is not profitable yet, the money prospects are still very bright, so before Christmas, Thomas and Lawrence
Everyone has a small red envelope for their evaluation of the Cowboys. Thomas Ju'an gave more than 10,000 US dollars at most, and Lawrence also gave more than 5,000 US dollars. After all, Lawrence spent a lot more time than Thomas. Wynn and Andrew are also close to each other.
It's more than 8,000, and the rest vary from cowboy to cowboy. It's at least one month's salary.
In fact, these bonuses are nothing to Ju An. There are only more than 20 cowboys in total, and each of them only receives 10,000 yuan, which is only over 200,000 yuan. The key is that the money not only makes the cowboys pay more attention to their work, but also buys them a good reputation.
A good reputation is very important and a very cost-effective business in the words of a kid here in the United States.
Then Ju An's reputation as a rancher who is not stingy began to spread to a small area. The only advantage is that it is much easier to recruit cowboys. Now, except for the two Chilean cowboys with good skills, there are only two Chilean cowboys on the ranch.
The local cowboys, of course, are also counted as local cowboys. The three of them are treated exactly the same as the American cowboys here. Ju'an cannot do anything to exploit their compatriots.
After chatting for a while, Ju An saw that it was getting late and asked the two old cowboys to go back. Thomas didn't have anything to do and stayed nearby. Lawrence also had to ride a long distance on horseback. In vain, he asked the old man to go back early.
.
The efficiency of the old Americans is really not picky. Ju An just discussed it with Thomas. The day after Professor Leonard moved into the ranch, the animal husbandry expert drove there.
pasture.
After receiving the news about Leonard, Ju An took Thomas in front of the ranch house and prepared to greet the professor. He watched two cars not far away slowly come to a stop in front of him. Then he saw a man in his forties.
The man who was 6 years old got out of the car with a group of five or six young people.
At this time, Leonard led Ju An forward and introduced: "This is rancher An, and this is my colleague I mentioned to you, Professor Norman, professor of animal husbandry at the University of Montana."
Ju An walked up to Thomas and shook hands with the young professor. Ju An then listened to Leonard's introduction and looked at the professor carefully. He was one meter tall**
appearance, black slightly curly hair, brown eyes, thin
The blue stubble on his chin is very cleanly shaved, he is wearing a short coat with a light-colored checkered scarf around his neck. The sales portrait is much better than that of Leonard. The old man Leonard probably goes to the street at night.
At one stop, it is estimated that 10% of people will think that he is a regular prostitute.
After the greetings, Ju An said to Professor Norman: "Let's go inside and have a cup of coffee."
Who knew that Professor Norman shook his head after hearing this and smiled at Ju An and said, "Let's go see the cattle first. What Leonard described to me seemed to weigh like an African bison. I want to see it with my own eyes."
When Ju An heard this, he led the professor and his group towards the place where the horses were grazing. The big cow couple were grazing among the horses. He noticed a group of people approaching, and when he raised his head, he saw Ju An leading
He asked his wife to follow Doucao and ran towards Ju'an.
Waiting to run up to Ju An, Professor Norman directly ignored Doucao who was leaning next to Ju An. He looked carefully at Daniel and his wife Heifer, then turned to Ju An and said: "Good guy
!It’s really big. It seems Leonard wasn’t exaggerating. It weighs more than two thousand pounds.”
Thomas next to Ju An nodded: "Two thousand one hundred and fifteen pounds. The cow next to him weighs one thousand eight hundred and forty pounds. It was just weighed two days ago. The mature bulls in the herd are about the same."
The weight is about 2,000 pounds, and the cow is also about 1,800 pounds."
Ju An heard that it was good, but in terms of kilograms, it was probably a very big cow, about one ton. Touching the bridge of the bull's nose, the cow closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed Ju An's touch.
Professor Norman looked at the big cow couple intently for a long time before turning to Ju An and said: "It's a completely new breed of cattle. Although I don't know how the meat quality is, but just looking at the size, it's a breakthrough."
.
Ju An was stunned for a moment: Are you sure that this is a new breed of cattle? In the blink of an eye, I thought that this guy relies on this for a living. Do you not know? I guess this guy can talk about most of the outstanding breeds of cattle in the world.
I have been thinking about this for a few days, why are you so worried?
"I want to take a look at your herd again. It is a herd of this kind of cattle. I heard Leonard said 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 see the cattle. It's a ways from here. Let's all ride horses. Everyone knows how to ride a horse."
Seeing Norman and the group of assistants behind him nodding, everyone began to prepare their horses. Looking at the skilled skills of the group of people, it turned out that they were really engaged in animal husbandry, and they were very skilled. Leonard did not follow him this time.
Instead, he saddled up his horse and continued to study his pasture.
Of course, Ju An was riding Dou Cao. He got on the horse and ran side by side with Norman Professor Thomas. After running for a while, Norman only noticed the Dou Cao under Ju An's crotch: "First-rate Friesland, what a pity."
The color is not good."
"If it were black, I would have to spend several times more money to buy it," Ju An said with a smile, holding the reins of Doucao.
Norman looked at Beancao and said, "Even such a figure is rare in Friesland. The four hooves are strong and powerful, the legs are high and elegant, and the eyes are firm. It is an excellent horse. You can try to participate in the next competition."
In dressage, you can get a lot of impression points just by looking like this.”
Thomas smiled and explained: "This won't work! Except for An and An's girlfriend, no one can get on his horse. Once he gets on, he jumps so hard that even a good cowboy can't hold it.
For a few seconds, the cowboys in the ranch tried several times relying on their skills, but none of them could survive three seconds. They jumped up high and violently twice and threw the person out."
After hearing this, Norman nodded: "It's a pity. If you have a professional jockey, you can go to the competition. After the results are achieved, the price will immediately rise a lot."
Ju An didn't feel in his heart that even if the price reached 18 million US dollars, would he still be willing to give up Doucao? Doucao had become a part of his life, and money could not measure his value.
For example, every time Wang Fan comes, he is envious of Ju An for having a horse that is loyal to him. It is a matter of face, and this is no small matter.
