After breakfast, Dong Shanhe went to the ranch with Liu Miaomiao and his son. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The size of 120,000 acres of pasture, this is the first time Liu Miaomiao has seen such a large ranch, or she has never seen a ranch larger than this in her life.

In fact, if you really want to see it, there are many opportunities to see it, that is, in the space, in the third place, between the two mountains, the area of that grassland does not know how big it is, but unfortunately Liu Miaomiao has not been there once, because she is not very interested in Zeng.

The car is still a Raptor F150, this car has no problem driving in the ranch at all, strong power, high turf, plus that excellent off-road ability and wading ability, it is simply perfect in the ranch, so this car is also the most popular car in the entire American ranch.

The car is green, the same color as the ranch, and I don't know who thought of spraying it in this forgiving color, but Dong Shanhe likes it very much.

At this time of summer, the pastures come alive with a variety of flora and fauna, passing through the grass from time to time.

"Husband, is it a fox?" asked Liu Miaomiao, pointing to a group of small things not far away.

Dong Shanhe knew at a glance that it was a fox, and the gray color was not very good-looking, but this was a lot of animals in the pasture.

"Husband, husband, what kind of animal is that?" after a while, Liu Miaomiao pointed to an animal not far away and asked.

"That's an armadillo. After Dong Shanhe finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that this didn't seem to be the armadillo's living place.

However, even Dong Shanhe didn't know why he didn't think about this issue carefully, but continued to drive forward with Liu Miaomiao.

Brocken Ranch is in the south of Dillon, the southernmost part of the ranch is close to the border of Montana, southeast is Yellowstone National Park, Dong Shanhe originally wanted to see Yellowstone National Park, but just think about it, such a huge underground lava is moving, don't go by yourself, it will erupt again when the time comes.

For the United States, the strategic position of Yellowstone National Park is the same as the status of the Three Gorges Dam for China, and if it is really attacked, it will definitely cause serious losses to the entire country at that time.

So several rogue countries in the world don't know how many nuclear warheads are aimed here, and they don't dare to say anything else, at least polar bears and Chinese rabbits are definitely there.

However, Dong Shanhe also appreciated the problem that Old Moore said, the environment of the ranch is not very good, at least he can clearly see the quality of the alfalfa grass in the entire pasture at first glance.

piece by piece, in some places, large pieces of bare soil were exposed, which made Dong Shanhe very difficult.

"It seems that the renovation of this ranch is imminent. "If we can't transform this ranch into a fully automatic sprinkler pasture, where will we have the ability to raise so many Angus black cattle and dairy cows, and if we raise one cow per acre, we can raise 100,000 heads.

This number is also the number that Dong Shanhe wants to achieve, if there is more, his own ranch may not be able to bear it, and if there is less, his own interests cannot be maximized.

"Smith, find me a construction company to modernize the ranch. Thinking of this, Dong Shanhe stopped the car and called Smith.

"Boss, I've already handed over the ranch to Wood, you can call him, and besides, Wood is more familiar with this aspect than I do. Smith said this to Dong Shanhe on the phone.

"I see, I'll call him in a moment. Dong Shanhe hung up the phone as he spoke, he only expressed this idea yesterday, and today Smith handed over the ranch to Wood, it seems that Smith's political consciousness is very high.

"Smith knows how to cultivate. "For Dong Shanhe, it doesn't matter how big or small his ability is, he doesn't need any professional talents anyway, as long as he is a qualified manager, it would be better if he was excellent.

The most important thing is to be able to implement his own arrangements strongly, that is to say, what Dong Shanhe needs is a strong executive manager, not an excellent independent manager.

"Wood, do you have any construction firms that I want to remodel the Brocken Ranch. Dong Shanhe immediately called Wood.

"Boss, as for the construction company, I still know a few companies, but I don't know what kind of modernization you want to carry out? Do you have any special requirements?" Wood on the other end of the phone replied smoothly, not taking Dong Shanhe's call to heart.

If it is changed to Huaxia Domestic, a deputy manager is directly assigned to work by the boss, which is a performance of promotion.

"Well, you can come over at noon and let's have a good chat, and I can't tell you clearly on the phone. Dong Shanhe continued.

"Okay, I'll go over at noon!" After communicating with Wood, Dong Shanhe hung up the phone.

"Why do you want to do anything?" Liu Miaomiao turned her head to Dong Shanhe and asked, this was the first time she heard that Dong Shanhe wanted to transform the ranch, how much would it cost to transform such a large ranch?

"I want to renovate the ranch, or we're too dilapidated here, and if you look at the land, it's really not good. No matter how good it is, seeing is not as believing, Liu Miaomiao lowered her head and looked at the ground, and she also felt that this ranch didn't seem to be good, and the gap between it and the kind of grassland she saw on TV was a bit big.

To put it another way, the ranches on TV are the lawns of European five-star stadiums, with green grass, and the Brocken ranches are like the rotten vegetable fields of the stadiums of the Chinese Super League.

"Husband, did we lose a lot of money when we bought this ranch?" As soon as she saw that this ranch was so bad, Liu Miaomiao felt as if she had been deceived.

"You, we haven't been cheated at all when we buy this ranch for 150 million dollars, because it's worth the price, but if you want to develop it well, you have to renovate it. "Dong Shanhe has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, although he is not a Virgo, but obsessive-compulsive disorder still exists, if you want to do it, do it well, or don't do it, this is Dong Shanhe's style of doing things.

"How much does it cost?" Liu Miaomiao asked again, she was still more worried about money.

"I don't know, but it's about the same price as buying a ranch. Dong Shanhe felt that if he wanted to modernize this ranch, he would have to spend 200 million US dollars, otherwise he would not be able to take it, and this place must be constructed by American workers.

The workers in the United States don't care about you, as long as you don't complain to the union, you're doomed, you must know that the union has bankrupted a city, and you are left with a ranch.

"Oh, then be careful, don't be deceived. Liu Miaomiao said lightly.

She knew that she couldn't help much, and the biggest help was not to make trouble for Dong Shanhe, as long as she took the child well.

Dong Zhiyuan also stared at the world with wide eyes, he felt very curious, but he couldn't say it, he could only stretch out his hands and babble and didn't know what to say.

"It seems that my son also knows that it is better to stay here than at home. "People have to go out and walk around from time to time, otherwise they will be wasted if they stay in the room all day, what otaku, that are people who have some problems, either there is a communication barrier, or there is a problem with the three views, you see if they really have a girlfriend who is in love, they will stay at home all day and play games?

I really think that the two-dimensional pillow is more fun than the girlfriend who is whirring? How is it possible? Dong Shanhe is also from here.

Today's sky is not bad, there are some clouds in the sky, so the sun is not vicious, plus the location of the pasture, it is very cool, but Dong Shanhe is also very worried, how to spend this winter.

To the west of the ranch is the National Forest Park, which is a mountain, and to the east is the Yellowstone National Park, which is also a mountain, and the ranch is actually between the two mountains, and the two mountains are in a north-south direction, which makes Dongshan River very difficult.

Dong Shanhe, who has a good geographical knowledge since childhood, knows how powerful the cold current of the North American continent is, the Arctic cold current goes directly from the north all the way south, and then blows to the Gulf of Mexico, without any obstruction along the way, who makes the mountains of the entire North American continent run north-south, and it is also distributed on the east and west coasts.

The topography of his ranch is a miniature version of the North American continent, "There will definitely be heavy snow in winter!" Even if Dong Shanhe has never lived here, he knows that this is definitely the case.

"Well, we're going to have to build some shelter for these Angus black cattle. Dong Shanhe felt that it was very necessary, if this was not the case, the beef cattle would freeze to death.

A cold snap blows across the North American continent, bringing you a meter of snow overnight and a drop of twenty or thirty degrees.

Think about the dimension of the small city of Dillon, it is similar to the three eastern provinces, and it is not necessarily impossible to have minus thirty or forty degrees in winter.

Dong Shanhe browsed the scenery along the way, and also carefully observed the advantages and disadvantages of the entire ranch along the way.

There are not many waters in the pasture, there are only a few lakes, the rivers are also small rivers, and there are not a few forests.

Although the entire pasture is flat as far as the eye can see, it is very rare, but this is not good for raising animals, especially large beef cattle.

"You have to plant some trees, too!" Dong Shanhe wrote down in his small notebook.

Soon Dong Shanhe came to the southernmost part of his ranch, as for why Dong Shanhe knew that this was the southernmost part of his ranch, it was because some boundary monuments were erected here, horizontal railings were pulled, and a sign was hung on it that said Brocken Ranch, so Dong Shanhe knew.

"We've reached the border, let's go back!" Liu Miaomiao said to Dong Shanhe while holding her sleeping son.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get out of the car and do something. Liu Miaomiao rolled her eyes and didn't say a word.

She knew what Dong Shanhe was doing, and sure enough, there was a burst of water soon.

After a while, Dong Shanhe got into the car, "Husband, what do you think it is?" Liu Miaomiao, who was sitting in the car and was bored, looked outside the horizontal fence, it was a big mountain, and there was a group of strange animals at the foot of the mountain, which Liu Miaomiao didn't know.

Dong Shanhe followed Liu Miaomiao's finger and looked at it, and then he was stunned, "I'll rub it, North American bison! Daughter-in-law, this is the national beast of the United States!"

The American bison, also known as the North American bison, is the largest mammal in North America and one of the largest bison in the world, and is also a relatively fierce animal, weighing up to a ton, with a pair of sharp horns on its head, even in the face of the most aggressive predators, it does not flinch. They have dark chestnut-brown fur and large shoulders like small hills. Within the herd, the respective bulls form a group and defend the cows in the herd, and the breeding season for the American bison is between June and September. Each cow can give birth to one calf per year.

Despite its size, it can still run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The main herd is made up of females and young cattle, and males form separate herds of bachelors, who only congregate when mated.

American bison are new immigrants to North America who originated from European bison in Eurasia and later migrated to the Bering Strait. During the Ice Age, massive currents were frozen into glaciers, causing sea levels to drop, exposing the ocean-floor continent of the Bering Strait between Asia and the Americas. Many animals from Eurasia crossed to the Americas through this ocean-bottom bridge, and bison was one of them.

American bison live together in herds, they often trude through the dirt and prefer earth baths. Rub your body on large rocks and tree trunks to get rid of ectoparasites, forage in the morning and evening, and rest the rest of the time. Encountering wolf attacks, running at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, herbivorous grasses and sedges are the main food of this species, others such as flowering plants, woody leaves and even lichens, in winter bison dig through thick snow, looking for plants buried underneath.

The lifespan of wild bison ranges from 18 to 22 years, while those raised range from 35 to 40 years.

Growing in large numbers on the Great Plains of America and Canada, from Great Slave Lake in the far north of Canada to Mexico in the south, and from eastern Oregon to the Atlantic Ocean, large herds of American bison roam the Great Plains of Gretel, migrating south in the winter and back north in the summer, along the traditional route known as the "bison trail."

At the beginning of the 19th century, there were about 65 million bison in the United States, but since the Europeans set foot on the American continent, the fate of this large animal has changed forever.

After European colonists entered North America, bison were slaughtered in large numbers and nearly extinct by the end of the 19th century, leaving only a few hundred individuals. Today, about 10,000 bison live on state-owned land administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, divided into 17 bison herds spread across 12 states. There are also an estimated more than 160,000 bison in private rearing.

Yellowstone National Park, which spans Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is the only land where bison have lived since prehistoric times. And the place where the Dong Shan River is now located is at the foot of the mountain in Yellowstone National Park.

The American Wildlife Conservation Society began pushing for the designation of the American bison as a national animal in 2012, and the image of the animal has been so popular that it has been on the reverse of the 5-cent coin for 25 years and has been used on the seal of the U.S. Department of the Interior since 1912.

U.S. President Barack Obama signed the bill two years ago, thus officially establishing the American bison as the national animal of the United States.
