Chapter 630: A Mouthful of Grass
Li Han accepted Cynthia's invitation to give a lecture to a group of little guys. "Morning, Cynthia, the weather is really nice today, it's very suitable for outdoor classes, isn't it?" Li Han greeted with a smile, sat down and waited for a while to go to the classroom with Cynthia, Cynthia smiled and poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Li Han. "That's not a good idea, I don't think you looked at the weather warnings. Cynthia pointed to the weather sign hanging next to her, there was a torrential rain today.
Late winter and early spring are the rainy seasons in Montana, especially in spring, when the weather can change greatly, maybe one moment it is still sunny, the next moment it may be rainy. "Oh, I forgot to look at the weather, it's a bad idea" Li Han got up in the morning and busily sent Dudu and the baby, Michelle, and Maria to school, and he really didn't bother to look at the weather forecast. "It's not early, I think it's time for us to get there. Cynthia was just about to say a few more words when she looked up and saw that the time was up.
"yes, I think I'm going to have something ready. Li Han smiled and took a box containing some cartoon sea creatures and some shells and other things. Cynthia didn't expect Li Han to be so well prepared, and of course there were some photos, which Dudu and the baby helped pick out.
"Oh, man, these props are amazing. β
Cynthia took some props prepared by Li Han, it was an unexpected surprise, this class will be very exciting, Li Han smiled and came to the classroom with Cynthia, more than 20 children, obediently sitting on the mat marked with various sea creatures. Dudu and the baby were very excited when they saw Li Han coming in, waving their little hands. "Dad. "Uncle. "Sit down. Li Han smiled and waved his hand, and handed the props to Dudu and the baby. I'm going to have to help in a while.
Li Han put the box away and started talking with a smile, Li Han has seen all these villains, most of them know each other, and they are quite familiar. Li Han talked about his first diving into the sea, especially when he talked about seeing sharks, he compared the pictures of sharks and told the sharks that they were fierce. Dudu and Baby, Maria have all changed into shark clothes. Three baby sharks. opened his mouth wide to cooperate with Li Han to make a fierce appearance, and a group of children let out screams, with a little fear.
Doot, baby. Mary's three little ones giggled. Stand back. Pedal out and change into a set of clothes, Li Han put aside the picture of the shark. I started to talk about some interesting things about the sea, such as the second cargo crab, the sand fish that covered the ears and stole the bell, as well as the discolored octopus, stonefish, etc.
Speaking of stupid turtles, Li Han beckoned Dudu and the baby, Maria came in, and the three villains were dressed like turtles, imitating the swimming posture of turtles to tease the villains to laugh, and Cynthia also covered her laughter. Li Han talked for about an hour and a half, and then the class ended, and after a break of two sessions, Li Han ended up a little dry.
"Han, your experience was really wonderful, and the class was fantastic. Cynthia said with a hint of surprise.
"Thank you, I really didn't expect that I could say it like this, it's so unexpected. Li Han himself felt a little surprised, maybe in the face of the little guys, he didn't have too many ideas, he just wanted to talk about what he had seen and heard. "Oh, my time is up, I'll go first. β
Li Han and Jem made an appointment to go to the cattle farm, and today a batch of calves was slaughtered for the first time, and Li Han wanted to go over and take a look. Cynthia sent Li Han away, and as for the props, she gave a small gift to the children in front of the spring break. Pickups through the streets, rock 'n' roll in their ears, not many pedestrians on the streets, and the occasional horse-drawn carriage or two, or ox cart, sat with tourists, presumably some hunting tourists from Chris's Manor, to relax and wander around the cowboy-style town.
But Mixing Town is not a refined American town, it is more of a cowboy town with a bit of rough style, most of which sell saddles, riding boots, and some denim products, especially all kinds of cow bones, deer bones, antlers, etc., the most. The street shop pΓΉ is mostly decorated with hunters, cowboys, dogs, horses, deer, etc., and of course there are some hunting decorations, wolf heads, cougars, and a small number of black bear and grizzly bear specimens, bars and fast shops, and humble gas stations.
The horse-drawn carriage and the ox cart are quite a bit of western cowboy style, Li Han saw that there were tourists taking pictures, and the cooperation between Chris and Liu Ming was really good. Li Han slowed down and slowly crossed the street, turning onto the road towards the farm.
When I returned to the small farm, I changed into a set of clothes, and I just went to the kindergarten to give a lecture, and I was wearing more formal clothes. When I came to the cattle farm, it was just in time for the second batch of calves to change the stalls, these are the calves born in winter, and they will be separated as soon as they are weaned, and each calf is extremely strong. "Han, these calves are really good. Andre and Lambton turned out to be there, and the two seemed to have some interest in this batch of calves, and Li Han smiled. "It's all a credit to Jem, Henry, Hughton. β
A group of young cowboys guard the gate of the fence, and the three fences make it very easy to separate the calves. "Henry and Jem are old cowboys, didn't say it. Andrei nodded in praise. "The calves are of good quality, and Xiao Wang Farm wants to buy them. β
Lambton saw that Andre had a friendship with Li Han, and explained his intention directly. "I think you have to discuss this matter with Jem, Henry, and Hughton, and I don't care about the cattle farm for a long time. "Oh, that's not a wise decision. β
Andre and Lemuton said in surprise at the same time, Li Han smiled, Li Han really didn't have much arrangement for this batch of calves, and now his mind was on pasture and farm trading. Yesterday before going to bed, Ling Na sent a message to Li Han, recently someone has bought a large number of farms and pastures around the oil field, and Jennifer has been found, and the bid is half higher than the current market price, which is not a small amount. Li Han's current farming and pasture is generally calculated, not to mention Ke Mi Xing, and even Butun can be ranked up, and it won't be long before he comes to the door.
Ling Na revealed the news, not because she was worried that Li Han would sell her farms and pastures, but because the people who bought a large number of ranches this time had extraordinary backgrounds, and these Li Han were not worried now, but this Jennifer suitor seemed to have a perseverance towards Jennifer.
"Jem, Lambton and Andre are interested in these calves, what do you think?" said Li Han, and Jem thought for a moment. "This batch of calves can be sold for half at most, I don't think it can be more, by the way, Han, there are 2,000 beef cattle on the farm that can be sold. β
Jem said that now that winter has just passed, most of the pasture grass has just sprouted, and the grass in Li Han Ranch has grown nearly ten centimeters in some places, and the whole pasture is yellow and green, which is completely suitable for grazing calves. "How's the bull market going now?"
There are now more than 7,000 cattle on the farm, and more than 1,500 calves alone, and some beef cattle should be sold, which is a good idea to sell before the winter comes, because the beef cattle will lose fat in the winter, and the price of forage is 20% higher this winter than in previous years.
"Now the price of beef cattle is five cents higher than it was in the fall. β
Jem said, Li Han did the math in his heart, the beef cattle on the cattle farm are about 1,100 pounds, and the forage used during the growing period throughout the winter is compared to eight cents a pound of forage. When it comes to the calculations, a cow uses about $120 for three months, and the rest of the feed is about $200, and three months of feed. The value of beef rose to less than forty dollars, and of course, this is not counting how much meat beef cattle grow in three months.
Andre and Lambton summed it up in their hearts, Li Han is going to lose nearly eighty dollars, Li Han muttered, fortunately, in three months, the growth of beef cattle has a record number of jΓΉ, and the growth is slower in winter, but even so, it has grown nearly one hundred and eighty pounds, and overall, there is still some earning.
Of course, Li Han will not say this. "It seems that the market is not bad, so much, have you said hello to the market?" "I hung up the card a few days ago, and I want to come and take a look in the last two days." Jem said. "There weren't enough cowboys on the farm, so Albert and I talked to ten young cowboys on a temporary basis. "This is not good, in this way, I will talk to Albert later, don't be temporary, the ranch development side also needs to employ people, don't run out of manpower at that time." β
Li Han said, Andre and Lemuton on the side, both of them were thinking about the calf, and neither of them participated in the topic of beef cattle, after all, they had lost a lot, and they were afraid of saying something unpleasant. Li Han didn't know what the two of them were thinking in their hearts, and after talking to Jem here, he said with a smile. "Jem, calf, you discuss it with Lambton and Andre. β
Li Han took Jem's horse and turned over and chased Hughton and his group, the pasture here grew to ten centimeters, which was at least two weeks faster than other pastures, and the calf now eats its first bite of grass, delicate and fresh grass. "It's beautiful. β
Li Han stood on the hillside, looking at the yellow and green grassland, not far away a small river like a white ribbon, tethered to the snow-capped mountains on one end, and the pastures and cattle and sheep on the other. "Why are you here?" said Dinah, who rode down the hill with a flock of little lambs. "This meadow is beautiful, isn't it?" "The grass has just grown, and the sheep can't come, but of course the lambs don't matter, it's so big, and the number is not the same as the calves.
Dinah was in a good mood, humming a song, driving the little lamb to graze, turning over and dismounting to accompany Li Han to sit on the hillside and look at the Yellow River and the pasture. "Lulu is okay over there?" "Lulu is very grateful for your help, Albert has already helped with the formalities, Jem said, Albert is very experienced. β
"That's great, I've got a gift on the small farm, I'll go over tomorrow and get it, it's a nice piece of skin. β
Dinah's birthday has arrived, it's her first birthday at Hank's farm, and Li Han prepares a fine deerskin. "Thank you. Dinah thanked that Hank's farm is doing well now, and that Dinah loves to herd sheep, especially a group of lambs, and a group of cute quartemas and a group of enthusiastic cowboys, which is one of the reasons why Dinah quickly came out of the shadow of her relationship.
