The Edwin Ranch is like Chile in the western foothills of the Andes, with its long and narrow terrain, which makes for a magical scene.

The grass color on the south side of the pasture and the grass on the north side of the pasture show a gradient color.

Because the sun in the southern hemisphere is in the north, the further north it goes, the greener it becomes, and at the southernmost point it becomes almost as earthy yellow as sand.

The rooster said that driving a tractor around the pasture was like experiencing two worlds.

The Shennong brand pasture sent by Emperor Wu helped them a lot, due to the drought, Edwin and his son only cut half of the pasture grass in the same period last year, which could not solve the daily food and clothing of 200 adult cattle at all.

They had planned to uproot the grass and Emperor Wu provided them with seeds to replant, but renting a professional car was a huge amount of money for the strapped father and son, which was equivalent to two months' electricity bills for the ranch or a month's beer expenses.

"How many months old is the longest cow you have raised?" asked Emperor Wu.

"The longest is about 28 months. Edwin said.

Emperor Wu calculated, that is, two years and four months, and the beef at this time is the most tender.

"That's good, hurry up and feed your grass for a week, to be honest, your grass is of terrible quality. ”

"Can you turn beef into a four-star or even higher in a week?" asked the rooster, confused.

Emperor Wu shook his head, "I can't guarantee it, but at least it will be better than the current situation." No kidding, the grass I grow is the best in the whole suburb of Sini and is grown using Chinese cultivation methods. ”

He wanted to say the best in the world, but that would make them feel like they were bragging, so let's start with the best of Siny.

"No matter what the end result is, thank you for being a good person. The father and son stepped forward to hug Emperor Wu and Frank respectively.

Emperor Wu sighed, now in Australia, it is really not easy to run a ranch, if it weren't for his Shennong inheritance, I'm afraid he would have already owed a lot of debt.

Cole drives an old tractor to haul the grass to the cowshed. Half of their 200 cattle are free-range.

Due to the limited land area, Edwin used intermittent grazing, dividing the 200 cattle into two groups, one group grazing in the meadow in the morning and the other group in the barn, and then switching places in the afternoon.

This distribution does not allow the cattle to eat up all the grass they have left.

The breeds of cattle in their ranch are very mixed, Angus cattle, Simmental cattle, Limousin cattle, Charolais cattle and so on, and basically all the breeds of cattle can be seen here.

Edwin and Frank sat in the house chatting.

The rooster drove Emperor Wu from south to north in a battery car, and introduced him to the breed of cattle as he ran.

This opened the eyes of Emperor Wu, and some cattle were really seen for the first time, such as the Limousin cow native to France, which was about the same size as the Qinchuan cow, with a yellowish coat, small horns, and a wide forehead.

"Did you deliberately bring different breeds of cattle to the gala?" asked Emperor Wu.

The rooster is also helpless about this matter, "We have limited funds, so we can only go to the livestock market to buy calves and come back to cultivate." ”

For small ranches, they do not have the financial strength like Emperor Wu and cannot buy calves in large quantities.

If you want to raise good cattle, you can only go to the Kamala Livestock Market to select the right cattle at the right price, and after rounds of bargaining and competition, you can successfully bring the cattle back.

The rooster took Emperor Wu to the cowshed, and Cole had already driven the tractor full of grass there.

They were going to experiment with different ranches, so they had a bottom in their minds.

The layout of the barn is simple, semi-open, with a long barn built horizontally in the northern part of the pasture, 90 degrees perpendicular to the narrow terrain.

Cows of all sizes and colors of their coat roam freely inside.

They didn't make a special distinction between compartments, and the small ranch didn't care about these details because of the quantity.

It's clean inside, and there's still water droplets in the hallway, which should have just been washed through two hours ago.

"Well, everything is primitive here, the most modern equipment is the chandelier. Rooster jokingly.

In fact, in Emperor Wu's view, this kind of primitive pasture is more humane, and the very modern pasture can be called a cold workshop for producing beef.

Family-run ranches like Edwin & Sons have an idyllic feel.

This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Wu has not introduced too modern equipment into his own pasture, since he lives in the suburbs, it is to live a leisurely pastoral time.

High-tech is a double-edged sword, making life more convenient and changing the original fun of life.

When Emperor Wu was a child, he didn't have a mobile phone or a computer, and often a few friends got together to play glass balls, dig mud, go down to the river to fish, dig birds' eggs, and have endless fun.

"If you can exchange lives, are you willing to exchange them with me?" Emperor Wu suddenly asked.

The rooster laughed, "Of course I do, a lot of big bills, sports cars and beautiful women, and big villas to live in." ”

"Really?"

Emperor Wu's somewhat serious expression made the rooster think that he was not joking.

The rooster thought for a moment and said, "No, I like this peaceful life, away from the intrigues of the big city, and I want to see my kids running on the grass." ”

"Cool, look who's coming. Cole said, pointing into the distance.

Just mentioning the child, Rooster's girlfriend came, that is, Cole's girlfriend's mother.

She rode a chic motorcycle, wore large-framed sunglasses, wore a tight punk outfit, and wore a headband, which was very rock-style.

It was the first time Emperor Wu had seen such a woman with personality, and even though he was almost fifty years old, he was still very energetic.

"Hey dear rooster, don't forget our agreement tonight!" After getting out of the car, the middle-aged woman directly kissed the rooster, the kind of French wet kiss, and Emperor Wu was uncomfortable when he saw it.

Cole spread his hands, indicating that he was used to it.

The two hugged and kissed for half a minute before parting, and the rooster's lips were stained with lipstick marks.

"This is my new friend, Emperor Wu. Wu, this is my girlfriend Marpel. Rooster introduced.

"Hello Ms. Mapel. Emperor Wu smiled awkwardly.

"I like the way you look, and if it weren't for Cole's preemptive move, I'd have introduced Abby to you. "Marpel is a woman with a straight heart.

I'll go, what kind of routine, your daughter's current boyfriend is right in front of you! Emperor Wu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.

Cole crossed his hands on his hips, and didn't seem angry at all, but quite happy.

"Haha, don't scare our new friend, he doesn't know you're a joker. ”

Emperor Wu had no choice but to laugh beside him, watching the three strange people joking with each other.

Rooster apologized and promised his girlfriend Marpel to go out for a ride tonight, Emperor Wu said he didn't mind, he wanted to wait for the year-old love to leave, and ask Cole how they got together.
