Early the next morning, Ju An was busy with the things at hand. He rode his bean grass for a few casual turns, and then waited at home for the Taylor family to drive their cattle.
Old Thomas said that he could just watch. Ju An could go about his own business, such as fishing, but Ju An just wanted to see what the transition would look like. Is it like in a Western movie, where the herds of cattle gallop and raise their heads?
The sky was filled with dust, and then the cowboys each rode their horses, and their strong figures soared out of the dust. The roars of shouts continued to come from the mouths of the heroic cowboys, and in the hands of the cowboys were lassoes raised high.
The leather fringes on the leather chaps floated in the wind like the horsehair on the crotch. The cowboys faced the rising sun, and their bodies were bathed in a golden light.
After riding Doucao for a few laps, Ju An was getting impatient, and then a group of cows appeared in Ju An's sight.
Thomas also saw it and said: "Ann, they are coming, let's go over."
As soon as he urged his horse, Ju An and old Thomas ran towards the direction of the cattle.
When they were almost there, Ju An was disappointed. Look at the family in front of them. They were driving two pickup trucks, one of which was towing a trailer. There were only four or five people riding horses and driving cattle. They were looking at the cattle.
He walked lazily and took small steps, nibbling grass from time to time and chewing leisurely.
This is not the transition that Ju An imagined. This is a family vacationing with their cows.
Seeing Ju An and Thomas coming, Taylor happily rode up to meet them. There was a little guy sitting in front of Taylor: "Hi, Ann, Thomas, good morning."
"Good morning, Taylor" Ju An and Thomas waved to Taylor on their horses.
Immediately afterwards, Taylor introduced to Ju An: "This is my brother-in-law, Thornton, Thornton's son Jack, this is my old friend Anderson, and the cattle driver over there is my son-in-law Kerry" and so on.
One circle.
"And here I am, my name is Jerry," the little guy sitting in front of Taylor yelled.
Taylor touched Jerry's head lovingly: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce my grandson, little Jerry." Everyone looked at Jerry, who was riding on the saddle in shorts and holding the head of the pile with both hands, smiling happily.
With.
Driving behind were Taylor's wife and daughter, with children and housewives from several families in the car. The two cars were full of people. This guy really looked like he was traveling.
A group of people slowly drove the cattle into Ju'an's pasture. It was quite easy for these people to drive hundreds of cattle. After driving for nearly half an hour, Taylor asked everyone to take a rest and let the cattle eat some breakfast.
, and then feed the cow some water.
As soon as the car stopped, a little girl of three or four years old ran over and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, carry me up." Taylor, who had just dismounted, picked up the little girl's armpits and put the little guy on the horse's back.
When he got up, the little guy hugged the waist of the brother in front of him, and then stared at Ju An with his big blue eyes blinking.
Ju An looked at the little guy and teased him, "My name is An, what's your name?"
The little guy was still a little nervous, so Jerry puffed up his chest and said, "She's my sister, Emily."
"Hello, Emily" Ju An said with a smile.
"Hello, An" the little guy raised a chubby little hand and stretched it out to Ju An.
Ju An quickly took the little guy's extended hand and shook it gently: "It's a great honor to meet you, Miss Emily."
Emily looked at Ju An's eyes, and then shouted to Taylor: "Grandpa, grandpa, I found that An's eyes are black."
Jerry said, "Ann is from China, so of course her eyes are different from ours."
Emily bit her finger and asked, "Is China a very far away place?"
Little Jerry rubbed his head and thought for a moment: "Of course, it would take more than a day to drive from home to Billings."
"Oh, that's really far away," Emily nodded and said.
Hahaha, a group of adults were very happy by the answers of the two little guys.
Let two little guys chat on horseback.
Ju An followed Taylor to where Anderson and the others were. At this time, he saw Anderson clearing away the grass and talking to Thomas and the others. It looked like they were having a great time chatting.
Seeing Ju An coming over, Anderson said: "An, your grass is growing really well. You see, the stems are half thicker than other grasses, and the leaves are wider and thicker. Have you noticed that even though they are
The old leaves near the roots of the grass show no sign of withering and turning yellow. It is really good grass, much better than the grass in our two pastures. And I just looked around and it was all this kind of grass, and I didn’t even find any weeds.”
After talking about the pasture, everyone except Ju An became interested and observed it carefully. At this time, Old Thomas said proudly: "Not only the ones you mentioned, I also discovered it when I was grazing cattle these days. This kind of grass grows very fast.
Basically, after the cows have eaten one piece, the grass will grow again in a few days. Within a week, the grass will be the same as before. Moreover, the cows like this kind of grass better. I tried it and there is still a patch of grass on the edge of the pasture.
It is a small pasture of ordinary pasture. I guess the pasture has not spread yet. I drove two cows there, but they refused to eat it no matter what. They would always run to the edge and eat this kind of grass."
Taylor looked at Ju An strangely and asked, "Aren't all your pastures filled with this kind of grass?".
Ju An looked at Taylor's hopeful eyes and said: "How do I know about grass? To be honest, I have some difficulty distinguishing grass. You should ask Thomas this question." He kicked the ball to Thomas. As for the reason, Ju An was playing
Even if you die, you won't tell them. How can you tell them that there are magical grass and water in the beads hanging around their necks? I still understand the principle that ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying a jade.
Thomas thought for a while and said: "Ann, I really don't know much about forage, and I have never done it before. I guess it is the pasture improved by the previous rancher. There are some ordinary forages on the edge of the pasture. I don't know what happened.
Planting pasture does not extend past."
Ju An knew this, and if he put more water in the pond into the pond, the grass would probably spread. He thought proudly in his heart, I know, but I just won't tell you.
Old Thomas followed up and said: "Also, when we used to manage the pasture, we would all divert water. During this time, I observed that there was no need to deliberately divert water at all. Look at the grass roots." As he said this, he pulled up a piece of grass casually, and then planted it on the grass roots.
He pinched it and said, "Look at the roots of the grass. They are very thick and tender. There is no need to water them intentionally. Our pasture only has more than a thousand cows now. I made a rough estimate. The most conservative estimate is that in summer and autumn, our streams and rivers will raise enough cattle."
There is no problem with 20,000 to 30,000 cattle. As for whether the pasture will dry up in winter, I don’t know. I won’t know the specific situation until winter passes this year.”
Taylor shook his head and said: "The last rancher improved the pasture, and that old Jew only knew how to fuck women. I saw that guy come here with a few young girls to spend the night several times. He didn't even raise sheep when he was there.
A few heads, improved forage, improved Viagra, I still believe it." After Taylor finished speaking, he glanced at his mouth.
Everyone was amused by Taylor's words. Ju An also sensed from Taylor's words his deep resentment towards the previous rancher.
After the rest, Taylor called for everyone to continue setting off, and the women continued to get into the car. The men got on their horses, caged the scattered cattle together, and drove the cattle forward.
Ju An noticed that most of these people were cheerful. Taylor's son-in-law, Kerry, said very little, but was very diligent in his work. Moreover, the old cowboys here were used to wearing thick mustaches. Thomas was like this,
The same is true for these two older cowboys today. It's probably traditional. Ju An doesn't like to grow beards. He feels comfortable if his mouth is fresh and refreshing.
When the cattle approached the cattle in his pasture, Old Thomas and Wynn who were driving the cattle became busy, and finally Ju An also joined in to stabilize his cattle.
Because it is already June, the cow's estrus period has arrived. According to Thomas, cows raised on pastures may actually be in estrus all year round, but they usually mate during the warm spring and summer, so that the calves will be in estrus in the coming year.
The calf is born in the spring and summer, so the survival rate of the calf is high. Taking care of the calf in the winter is very troublesome.
There are many cows in heat in the Taylor family's herd, which makes the bulls here in Ju'an very excited. They can't stand the temptation of beautiful cows and always want to go over and have sex with others. When the bull moves, the other bulls in the herd will
The cattle will also move. If they are not stopped, the two groups of cattle will mix together. It will take a lot of effort to separate them. Wynn and Thomas try their best to prevent the bulls in the group from approaching Taylor's group of cattle, and at the same time stabilize
The entire herd of cattle, including preserved eggs and garlic, also roared loudly, bared their teeth and stared fiercely at the cattle, as if they were going to eat them without stopping.
When Taylor's cattle went far away, the cattle on Ju'an's side gradually settled down. By this time, the three people in Ju'an were already sweating profusely.
Ju An breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the herd of cattle that gradually calmed down. "These guys, there are only a dozen bulls per thousand cows in the herd. So many black heifers are not enough for you bastards to enjoy."
, you are still thinking about other people’s cows. Whoever is not honest and farming your own land with peace of mind will kill you in two months. If there are fewer calves born next year, I will sacrifice you guys with knives, bro.
I also took the opportunity to make a tooth sacrifice, and looked at these bulls fiercely. Well, this one is good, the muscles are really strong. When my mother comes over, I will kill it and make braised beef for myself. I didn't notice that Ju An's mind turned to eating again, and he remembered
My mother's braised beef immediately made my mouth full of saliva. I wanted to take my mother over immediately and eat the delicious braised beef tonight.
"An, okay, you can go back." Thomas' words pulled Ju An out of his fantasy.
Riding Doucao, I returned to the horse racing field and saw Liu Chao and Zhao Nan already riding horses side by side in circles in the horse racing field. Looking at their movements, they have made a lot of progress and are now in good shape on horseback.
Yes, it doesn't look like a big monkey squatting like at the beginning.
