Chapter 465: Forced Sell and Buy?
Ye Luo shrugged his shoulders and did not answer, and went to feed the two border collies.
Sindra looked at the two sheepdogs who were eating in surprise, and said with a smile: "Hey, you actually have two little ones, then our work in the future may be much easier, but the number is less, if it is seven or eight, it will be better!"
Ye Luo's movements paused slightly: "There are not many cattle and sheep in the pasture now, you can take care of them for the time being, it is enough to raise two, and when there are more cattle and sheep in the future, buy a few more." ”
At first, he planned to buy about a dozen, but he was worried that no one would take care of him, so he bought two first.
It's like when we buy fruit, if you don't try it first, how can you know if the fruit is sweet or not, and whether it is delicious or not?
Although the Border Collie is the smartest of all dogs, Ye Luo doesn't know how to train them to be good helpers for cowboys, and it is estimated that when the two Border Collies are a little older, they will be sent to the ranch.
As for who will be responsible for taking care of, nurturing and training these two little ones in the end, he doesn't care.
After all, several of them are professionals.
At this time, Ye Luo fed the two border collies, let them stay in the den obediently, and then beckoned Sindra to plan to go out together.
To Ye Luo's surprise, as soon as the two arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw Pete riding a horse alone and belatedly late.
"Good morning, Pete, why are you here, Sindra and I are going to the ranch to ask you when you are going to Dotgren Island, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. Ye Luo greeted with a smile.
Pete stopped the race, turned over, rested for a while, and said, "Let's go, it's not too early, let's go to Dortgren Island first, and on the way I'll ask where there are cattle for sale, and then I'll buy some sheep at a nearby pasture." ”
"Okay, let's go, let's go and buy the cattle and sheep first. Ye Luo nodded, agreeing very much with Pete's suggestion.
Pete tied his horse to a maple tree at the gate of the yard and let the horses graze on their own, while he drove to the dock with Leaf Fall and Sindra.
Although both Pete and Sindra wanted to drive a yacht, but because they didn't get a driver's license, they could only let Ye Luo, the only one of the three who could drive a yacht.
As for Joseph, Nelff, Walton, Breg, and Martin, they stayed in the ranch to take care of the cattle, and by the way, they could also familiarize themselves with the specific terrain of the ranch.
It stands to reason that the journey to Dortgren Island is longer than that to Newfoundland, but it only took about two hours to get there under Ye Luo's drive.
When the yacht stopped and slowly approached the dock, Pete squinted at Ye Luo, his boss actually came here.
This is the place Pete is most familiar with, I don't know how many times he has come and gone, compared to the place where he worked before, this is the place he is most familiar with, after all, his family lives here!
Sindra immediately asked, "Didn't you say you were going to buy cattle, what are you doing here?"
Ye Luo put his hand on the steering wheel, looked at the reversing mirror, and parked the yacht accurately on the boat before replying: "Dotgren Island is very big, the place where I went to recruit you last time was only a small market, and there is only a cattle market in the big market, which ranch do you think can sell us thousands of cattle and sheep at once?"
Sindra was silent, how could she know about these questions, she just followed Ye Luo and Uncle Pete down from the yacht, and then walked towards the bazaar.
Ye Luo found that there seemed to be more people in the big bazaar than usual
The restaurants next to the street are almost overcrowded, and there are people walking and talking on the road.
Counting this time, he came a total of three times.
The first time was to buy a few hundred head of cattle, and the second time was to buy flames from Grimm.
The third time, this time, was the most seen.
"What day is it? Why are there so many people?" asked Sindra, curious.
She suddenly found herself on the edge of the big bazaar, the open space by the small freshwater lake had been carved up, and the surrounding area was divided into pieces by fences, separating the cattle and sheep.
Ye Luo's gaze was also attracted, but unlike Sindra, his gaze fell on the overall environment.
Gaze at the lush trees, green grass, and cobblestone paths along the lake.
The breeze blew gently, blowing up two or three fallen leaves, caressing the green grass, and slowly drifting across the lake, making patches of microwaves.
A few birds were also startled by the sudden wind, and flew a few feathers down and fell into the water.
Such a beautiful picture was ruined by the neighing of cows and sheep, and the noisy sound filled her ears, and when Sindra looked at it, she realized that there were a lot of people, and it seemed that all those people on the road were coming here.
"As a person born here, I'm here to tell you. ”
Pete proudly held a cigarette in his mouth and searched through the crowd: "If I'm not mistaken, today should be the day of the market, most of the people who go out here on this day have the same purpose as us, either to buy cattle or sheep, you are not from here, so I don't know, in fact, every Monday there will be a spontaneously formed market here, convenient to buy, maybe we can buy everything we want today." ”
Along the way, the sound of bargaining is endless.
The cowboys were standing in groups and chatting with each other, and then laughing, and some of them were inspecting the goods in the enclosure, patting the cows around to see the hooves and the flesh on them.
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look, there is no charge for watching anyway. Pete took the lead, picked a random spot, and said to the cowboy at the door, "We want to buy two thousand head of cattle, preferably Murray Grey, if there are other breeds to see." ”
The cattle in Dortgren Island are treated very highly, and each cow has an information sheet on its ears, as long as it is scanned by the computer, you can know the birth time, breed, and vaccine received by the cow, which is very convenient and effective, and the management is also very numerous.
The cowboy pulled his mouth and laughed, "Then you've come to the right place, we hardly see any Angus cattle here, most of them are Murray Grey cattle." My gray cow here has a very gentle temper and will not hurt anyone, so come over directly!"
A few Murray gray cows in the bullpen were quietly grazing, raising their heads from time to time to look around, without any vigilance, allowing the three of them to approach.
The cow closest to the three of Ye Luo was about the size of an Angus cow, with a round body, no horns on its head, and a silver-gray fur that looked very smooth.
"Murray gray cattle have the advantages of fast growth, heat resistance, rough feeding, good meat quality, marbled meat, low fat content, etc., bulls can generally grow to 2,000 pounds, cows can almost 1,800 pounds, put in the pasture can almost ignore them, natural free-range meat is more delicious, marbling is more obvious. "Cowboys don't talk
Absolutely introduced.
Ye Luo exuded his kindness, and gently touched the neck of a cow next to him with his hand, and the cow actually mooed excitedly, as if he liked Ye Luo's touch.
This scene surprised Ye Luo's heart, you must know that he didn't use his consciousness, but relied on himself, but he didn't expect that he would discover the amazing things about his body.
"Man, this cow is too strong, we bought it and raised it ourselves, not to buy it to be slaughtered, if there are about 500 to 1,000 pounds of cattle it is more suitable, do you sell it on the ranch?" Although Ye Luo liked this big cow very much, he was not dizzy at all in business.
He bought so many grown cattle and went back to sell them to the slaughterhouse.
If you want to buy it, you must buy the kind of half-sized calf to go back, and then raise it for a few months to grow up, so that the economic benefits are relatively high, and it is more suitable for his new pasture.
"Yes, yes, I don't know if I sell it or not, after all, it is also the ranch that is ready to raise it by itself and then sell it. How many do you need?" the cowboy pulled out his cell phone and was about to call his boss to ask his boss, he couldn't decide on such a thing.
Ye Luo discussed with Pete and Sindra, and decided to take a look, if he could, he would buy it, if not, forget it: "About two thousand heads, our ranch has been empty for a long time, and this bit of cattle can still be accommodated." ”
After making the call, the cowboy looked at Ye Luo with some apologies: "I'm sorry, I just reported the situation, and now we don't have too many beef cattle in our ranch to sell, basically most of them have grown into scale, if the newborn calf is okay, the boss who is already a thousand pounds is reluctant to sell it." ”
Hearing the cowboy's words, the three of Ye Luo did not show any disappointment or regret.
In their opinion, this family is reluctant to sell, it is nothing more than two kinds.
One is that there really aren't that many quantities, and the other is that they intend to use this to raise the price.
That's how business is done, scarcity is expensive.
Who doesn't want to sell their stuff at a good price?
Ye Luo looked at Pete, but found that Uncle Pete shrugged his shoulders, obviously signaling to him, forget it, there are so many people selling cattle and sheep here, we can go to other houses to have a look.
Then he turned his gaze back to Sindra, who spread her hands, seemingly in the same sense as Pete.
During the eye contact between the three of them, they reached an agreement in an instant.
Just as the three of Ye Luo were about to turn around and leave, the cowboy changed his words and hurriedly said: "I estimate that you can't find any ranch that can sell you two thousand and a half calves if you go on like this, so let's do it, our ranch can provide a quarter, that is, five hundred, but the proviso is that you must buy something else." ”
"Yo, does this count as a forced purchase and a bundle sale?"
Ye Luo's temper also came up: "There are so many cattle sellers here, I'm really not worried that I can't buy them." ”
Now it's not that he's begging someone else to sell it to him, it's a fair deal, and he really doesn't understand what kind of strange mentality the other party's boss is.
Although he knew that buying 2,000 and a half calves at a time would be too much for any small or medium-sized ranch to bear, he did not think about buying the amount he needed from one ranch at a time.
In his opinion, as long as he can buy the quantity he needs and the quality meets his own requirements, then he doesn't mind buying from other ranches and letting these ranches share it.
