He had to set off for Billings, who had already obtained some of the breeding cattle, and where there was the largest livestock trading center in Montana, larger than that of the Great Timber, and Billings supported the bulk trade, which was one of the bellwethers of the livestock industry in the United States.

This time not only Zeng Gong personally led the team, but also Professor Larry, Sanders, Davis, David and other cowboys, it can be said that they sent the elite soldiers of Qinglian Ranch, which is no wonder Zeng Gong attaches great importance to it, this is tens of thousands of Angus cattle, involving nearly 100 million US dollars in transactions, not only them, many reporters are also waiting to report on this transaction, although the transaction volume is very small compared to the national livestock trading volume, or even insignificant, but it undoubtedly injected a boost into the animal husbandry industry in the downturn of the market.

"Thornton, we're here. Zeng Gong got off the plane and found that Old Thornton was waiting for him at the gate of the airport, and his dusty appearance couldn't help but be touching.

"Zeng, are you okay, your ranch has been very lively recently. Thornton gave Zeng Gong a big hug warmly, and if he hadn't been running around the United States with a mission, he would have taken his beloved Remington to participate in the defense of Livingston.

"I'm very good, but you old guy can't lose weight, things can't be done in a day or two, your body is exhausted, what do you do to make money. Zeng Gong patted Thornton's broad back and couldn't help but laugh and scold.

"Isn't this for you, if it weren't for your high requirements, I would have been able to get the Angus cattle I needed in Montana. Thornton complained bitterly because of Zeng Gong's more than 20,000 Angus cattle (which were added later). Not only the major agricultural and animal husbandry states in the United States, but even the three prairie provinces of Canada have also visited several times.

Zeng Gong smiled and snorted Haha, but he didn't pick up Thornton's stubble, and the depressed Thornton slapped Zeng Gong's back a few times before he reluctantly let him go, and hurriedly greeted his old buddy.

Zeng Gong and his entourage, led by Thornton, went to Billings' livestock trading market. Thornton's Angus cattle were temporarily fostered there, and the consumption of the cattle pen and pasture had to be paid for by Thornton himself, although this part of the money would be paid by both sides of the transaction, but the green Franklin that flowed out every day still made his heart tremble.

Covering an area of 1,000 acres, the Billings Livestock Market is comparable to a small ranch and covers a variety of trades, such as quartma, Angus cattle, Limousin cattle, Boer goats, Dobo sheep, and even some poultry are sometimes sold here.

Thornton took a few familiar people to the trading floor to apply for identification. The staff signaled that they could be released, and unlike the quiet outside, stepping through the trading hall, Zeng Gong and his party were suddenly shocked by the noisy sound inside the trading market, and their ears were temporarily slightly deaf.

At the outskirts of the trading hall is an auction hall where an Angus cow is being auctioned, with its black satin-like fur, muscular and well-proportioned body attracting the attention of many people, and the ever-changing numbers on the electronic trading display. Tell people about the value of this Angus cow, but the cowboys from Qinglian Ranch have seen a lot of good cows. Especially the Angus cattle, they get along with each other day and night, this kind of goods can no longer attract their attention, and their eyes have long been raised.

"How about you, have fun?" Thornton smiled and invited Zeng Gong into the auction room, he was about to step in sideways. As a veteran cattle broker, he doesn't miss a trade, and if it's profitable, he doesn't mind taking a bull off, which he has done a lot in his cattle brokerage career.

"Forget it, it's not a good thing. Zeng Gong shook his head. Among the stars in the auction hall, even the worst cattle in Qinglian Ranch are much better than it, and Zeng Gong, who is already considered an entry-level person, will not show much interest.

"Whatever you want. Thornton shook his head, and didn't care much about Zeng Gong's refusal, Thornton had been to Qinglian Ranch several times before, and those Angus cattle in the pasture were traded through his hands, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, earth-shaking changes had taken place, and the sturdy physique of each Angus cow was larger than that of other Angus cows, and the muscles were all more symmetrical and strong, even if this Angus cow was a good cow, it could not enter the eyes of everyone.

There are many such auction venues, Zeng Gong followed Thornton and looked at it carefully, and finally came to an auction venue for a divine beast, which aroused Zeng Gong's great interest, and the auction venue was an Alpaca alpaca, with a pair of beautiful big eyes that almost turned everyone over.

No matter how cute the alpaca is, or the host tries his best to promote the alpaca, there is a rare cold scene at the venue, the usually popular alpaca has a cold reception, the crowd at the venue is crowded, but there are very few people holding signs, and the harsh winter of the economy makes every American have to take care of their own pockets.

"What? There are still alpacas here in Thornton. Zeng Gong frowned and asked, you must know that alpacas are not alpacas, there are only 130,000 in the world, and most of them are distributed on the Chilean plateau, and there are very few alpacas raised in other places, and it is rare to see alpacas in the trading market.

"It may be someone's pet, although camel wool is very valuable, but one or two can't become a scale, naturally there is no value at all, you also know that the financial crisis is now raging, everyone's life is not good, and it is reasonable to sell useless pets in the pasture. Thornton said worriedly that the financial crisis had also hit them as cattle brokers.

"I wonder if you can get these alpacas?" Zeng Gong had an idea, it seemed that raising alpacas in the pasture was also a good idea, and the 'gold walking in the Andes' was not a casual talk.

"Why Zeng, are you interested?" Thornton looked at Zeng Gong strangely, knowing that he was a master who was not bad for money, but he couldn't squander it at will. "If you want to raise a few heads in the ranch to play, I can give you a few by the way, even if it is a preferential policy for big customers. ”

"I think a lot of breeding, Qinglian Ranch is such a good pasture, but raising cattle is really a bit of a waste, I think it should be a good idea to raise some alpacas, and their wool is extremely expensive, it can be regarded as an income in the pasture, at least a thousand, more than Cunha and Alpaca two breeds casually, the more the merrier, Thornton, what do you think?" Zeng Gong said with a smile, this was not his whim, he had also considered raising alpacas before, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity.

"I'll try. Thornton gritted his teeth and said, the large number of alpacas is not so easy to manage, but for the sake of the green Franklin, fight. (To be continued.) )
