Chapter 927: Cattle and Horse Trainers The man is here
The bull race is just a local tradition, and the official national participation is called the bull racing festival.
The Bull Racing Festival is a tradition throughout the Koala Nation and is usually held on the Koala National Day, which is the end of January every year. But once a year is obviously too long for most people, so there are traditional bull races in various places.
Roughly speaking, it includes some equestrian performances, as well as bullfighting competitions, as well as horseback riding and bull hunting competitions.
Now there is only a little more than a month before the next cattle race, and if Yan Fei wants to participate, the cows and horses in his pasture are obviously not good. Those horses can be ridden, and they are not qualified to participate in any competitions, and the cattle are selected beef cattle, and whether they participate in the cattle race or not is ultimately a dish.
After the workers briefly introduced the situation of the cattle race, Yan Fei thought for a while, and was ready to pick a good horse for himself, and then two decent cows.
So Luke, who was following him, watched him a little puzzled, staring at the cows one by one, and when he saw it, he actually jumped into the bullpen and patted the cow's back and pressed it a few times. Fortunately, he didn't have to jump in every bullpen and press it, otherwise everyone else would have been able to make trouble for him.
In fact, not only Luke wondered, Yan Fei jumped the bullpen twice, and the rest of the bull market became curious.
In fact, it is normal to pick a cow, and everyone has their own way. But this time Yan Fei's is different, that old Hatton seems to be a celebrity in the bull market. Basically, the situation is the same all over the world, and the scale of the bull market here is nothing more than because the place is large and there are many pastures. But the owner of the ranch is those people, and the people who often visit the cattle market are at least familiar, and if there are often activities, they can almost all know each other.
It's nothing more than that the place has expanded hundreds of times, which is essentially similar to the cattle market in Sanchahe Township - which village has a few cattle raisers, and those who often visit the cattle market must know each other's details.
Yan Fei is an outsider, and he bought a lot of cattle in the first two times, and most people now know about the ranch of the old Matthew. Just because he was an outsider, most people were cautious and didn't have much contact with him.
In the past, the workers were asked to buy cattle, but he only took a general look at the cattle pen in advance, and he couldn't tell his level. Now that he has finally started to pick the cattle himself, many people are very interested.
"Moo!" As Yan Fei stretched out his hand and pressed on the body of a cow, the cow suddenly roared, the sound was obviously a little abnormal, and suddenly its front legs bent and knelt on the ground.
All at once everyone's attention was grabbed, and one of the spectators shouted loudly, "What have you done to my cow?"
The auctioneer next to him also looked at Yan Fei vigilantly, he was not afraid of Yan Fei making trouble, it was really Yan Fei who did something unfavorable to the cow, and some people came to find Yan Fei's trouble.
Yan Fei didn't care about other people's eyes, and said to the auctioneer: "This cow is sick, big problem." ”
Then the discussion began.
There are not many cattle worthy of Yan Fei's beating, considering that he wants to participate in the bull race, Yan Fei's first choice is the kind of cattle with fighting spirit. How to see if there is fighting spirit, naturally stare with your eyes.
Yan Fei, who is more fierce than a beast and doesn't know how many times, as long as he stares at it, the cow who can not be afraid is already considered to have fighting spirit. Those people don't feel anything, but animals are much more sensitive than people, even if it's the grazing cows.
Of course, a pat is to test the strength of the cow, others see that he doesn't use much strength, but he knows it in his own heart. If this cow can let him come in and pat it, it will have fighting spirit.
And it looks good, with a strong body and two horns, no matter how you look at it, it is a good cow. But now that he climbed down as soon as he slapped him, Yan Fei was sure that there was a problem six or seven times out of ten.
It's normal for everyone to talk about it, and the cattle here have been seen by many people. Sent from the ranch owner, through the hands of the traders, and then through the managers of the cattle market, that is, the people of the Meat and Animal Husbandry Association, it is almost impossible to determine whether there is a problem with the cattle.
Now that Yan Fei has a problem with the first shot, most people are skeptical.
The auctioneer was also a little surprised, but then nodded: "I'll have someone test this cow right away." ”
They still have professional quality, and the cow that Yan Fei just photographed is not one or two, and if there is a problem with this head, they must be responsible for testing.
Seeing that the market manager came over and walked the cattle forward, the trader was not happy: "Sir, you are optimistic! If this cow is fine, then who will pay for my loss?"
"No problem, I'll pay. Yan Fei smiled. "Have you ever seen a cow that falls on a slap? I'm sure there's something wrong with it. ”
If there is a problem, the trader loses money, and the cattle they buy from the ranch owner, and they have nothing to do with the ranch owner. If he really encounters a sick cow, it can only be regarded as his bad luck.
"Let's continue to pick up the bulls!" Yan Fei said to Luke, who was still surprised, ignoring the lively crowd around him, and then walked down.
But it's also troublesome, you shouldn't jump in to see it, you should just buy everything in the photo - although this will lose a cow like the one with a problem just now, but such a cow that looks robust and actually has a problem is still very rare.
Even if you buy a sick cow, it's better than now, and if you become famous, you will lose even more. Boss Yan is very experienced in this, and some people feel that their eyesight is not good, so they buy what others like and do not negotiate the price, which will lead to a higher price of the cattle he is optimistic about. Even if one or two heads are not obvious, the key is that he now has a large pasture and needs to buy more cattle, so there will be a loss in general.
At least definitely more than one cow.
It's all to blame for that old Hatton, Yan Fei complained in his heart, and he began to blame himself. It seems that I haven't encountered anyone's provocation for a long time, and now I can't hold my breath.
Introspective!
Thinking so, no matter how optimistic he was, he didn't jump in and try it, but quietly told Luke to tell him to write it down, and when the auction was over, a few or dozens of cows in the entire cattle pen would be bought.
After a turn in the bull market, he went straight to the side where the horse was sold.
Now there are not many people in the back who follow to watch the excitement, which is just convenient for him to turn around and choose at will.
Horses sold in a basically ordinary livestock market like this, if you want to talk about bloodlines, it's a joke. Most of the horses here are used for pasture purposes, and are used to ride cattle herds rather than participate in competitions.
Even if it's a race, ranchers don't go out of their way to invest in a horse that is too good – it's more about practicality, and if they really want to invest in horses, they can consider specialising in horse racing.
The more famous horse in the koala country is also a more common horse is the Australian stallion, this kind of horse is large, the strength is not small, the key is the endurance is longer, and it has also been a cavalry war horse - generally speaking, this kind of horse has few disadvantages, but the advantages will not be obvious. If you are participating in horse racing, the limitations are quite large.
However, Yan Fei likes this kind of horse, a large and durable horse is a good horse.
The number of horses is relatively small, but it is not necessary to enter the auction in groups. But even though there are not many types, there are many categories. Horses of the same breed should also be tamed, that is, they can be pulled home and ridden and run, some are untamed, some are gelding, some are stallions, and some are ......
Yan Fei likes to be a little wild, of course, he has to choose something that has not been tamed. Still using his standard of staring and patting and pressing the horse selection standard, he finally chose four or five horses that were more than a year old, and planned to take them home to try first.
When a few horses were brought out, they were still a little reluctant, and Yan Fei had no choice but to 'hug' them one by one. So these horses suddenly became more obedient, and they stopped being mischievous.
When he returned here, the bull market auction had already ended, and Yan Fei led the horse and walked over, and saw many people looking at him with strange eyes, and he enjoyed the strange gaze all the way.
Just when he was wondering, Ethan was the first to see him, and ran over and gave him a thumbs up: "Boss, you're so good! That cow is really sick, seriously sick." ”
There are many kinds of cattle diseases, and most of the common diseases can be observed by experienced ranchers and cowboys, but there are always those that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The one that couldn't hold on and fell down after being pressed by Yan Fei was a sick cow, but the disease was not too common.
Soon the market management people came and announced on the spot that they would give Yan Fei a discount on the transaction fee for buying cattle this time - although it can't save a few cents, the key is an attitude problem. Someone discovers a problem in advance that they didn't find out doesn't mean it's unreasonable.
This is also to motivate people to be more careful in the future and nip many problems in the bud.
Fortunately, this time the disease of the cow is not an infectious disease, if it is an infectious disease, then no one in the bull market today wants to go forward, and they all have to be isolated separately to observe that it is completely safe.
The traders who had opinions about Yan Fei disappeared, and when the market management announced their departure, many ranchers around them began to come over to hand out business cards - when a person shows excellent potential in their industry, the problem of skin color is naturally a big problem.
Many people laughed and said: "I'll see you at the bull race, and we must have a drink together when the time comes." ”
Luke and Ethan's gang of workers were also honored to be around.
Many of them are old cowboys, but there are also acquaintances. Many people feel that Yan Fei is too young and still a foreigner, and buying a ranch here is just playing, and it is impossible to really be a good rancher.
Including the people in the small town of Beihe, there are also many people who are skeptical.
Now that Yan Fei showed a little hand, he made the workers feel that he and others no longer needed to refute those guys who looked down on their new pasture!
……
The irrigation system in the ranch has already started, and it is a bit far from where you live. Yan Fei didn't want to destroy the existing pasture, so he chose a place that was closer to the distant mine - it was really far away, estimated to be seventeen or eighteen kilometers away, and it was actually close to the edge of the pasture.
In the future, the fattening place will definitely be as remote as possible, anyway, there is a car, and you are not afraid to drive here with your eyes closed, and more than ten kilometers is nothing. There will also be houses to be built over there, and in the future the fattening farm will be built there.
More than 400 cattle were bought, adding up to 1,000 cattle in the pasture. In Yan Fei's eyes, the current ranch is finally a little larger.
When he returned, he sifted through the herd, and at last he selected twelve cows, along with his horses, which were placed in a barn for his special rearing.
In the eyes of the workers, although the cows prepared by the boss looked good, they were really poor if they wanted to participate in the cattle race.
Although they now believe in the boss's technical strength, other people's cattle are the best of the best, and he will inevitably be a little too foolish to pick out a dozen cows at random.
As for the horses, few of the workers were optimistic about them - they were too strong!
The stronger the horse, the better, but also the spirituality. If the horse does not cooperate well with the owner, no matter how fast the horse is, it is useless.
If it's just strong, some pastures have pack horses, and those are really tall horses, which are stupid and stupid to pull up the cart, but they are really not suitable for riding horses - if you ride on a horse, it is good to throw the owner away, and it may even hurt people.
So after just two days of feeding, early in the morning of the third day, when the workers saw Yan Fei preparing to ride a horse, they were startled. Almost didn't care about the work in hand, and ran over to persuade the boss not to be too reckless - it's not easy to have a good boss, and no one wants to see something really happen.
Yan Fei didn't care: "It's okay, I've been familiar with them in the past two days, it's almost." ”
Watching him ride up, except for Xu Xiaoyan, who was walking around with a group of small milk dogs, he was not worried, and everyone else's hearts were raised.
This horse is not the kind of pack horse that was common in Sanchahe Township before, and there is no one standing there. Now Yan Fei is riding all the tall horses, especially Yan Fei specially selected, not to mention the head, these horses are higher than Yan Fei's height.
With such a big head, I really want to be irritable, and few people really can't hold it.
But what happened next made everyone understand, is it so easy to train a horse?
Seeing that Yan Fei had just ridden up and was running recklessly in the pasture, although the horse was a little less forbidden than the tamed horse, it had not shown any deliberate resistance.
Ethan couldn't help but ask Xu Xiaoyan, who was walking the dog: "Has our boss ever domesticated horses at home?" I have never seen a horse that has not been domesticated, and it can be so docile in two days. ”
Xu Xiaoyan thought for a while: "Well, we also have horses at home, and he often rides them." In fact, even our domestic tigers can ride, they are all tamed by him. ”
In an instant, all the workers felt that they understood!
They knew that Boss Yan's house was raising Siberian tigers, that is, the famous Siberian tigers, the largest carnivorous felines in the world.
There are no large beasts in the koala country, and the workers can only see tigers on TV and movies, and they can only imagine the majesty of the Siberian tiger. Yan Fei only mentioned that he raised a tiger, but he didn't say that he could still ride.
Even the boss who has tamed the tiger, taming a few horses, it must be so simple!
In fact, every night when the workers rested, Yan Fei brought a few horses into the dinosaur world. The forage and beans he fed in the past few days are not the ones he bought, and he has not even used water from the pasture. At night, they were put into the pasture to let them inhale oxygen, enjoy a high-end treatment, and beat them up by the way, it was strange that they were not honest in front of Yan Fei.
In the next few days, a few horses were the same day by day, watching Yan Fei ride a horse and run in the pasture with the remaining ones, it was obvious that those horses were no longer comparable to the horses originally bought in the ranch.
Actually, these horses were not bad, but their previous owners were not well bred enough. The pasture is all about riding, and it is impossible to take care of it as much as feeding a racehorse. By the time the horses grew too big and found that the horses were good, and should have been tamed earlier, they were already a little too big to be tamed.
Only in Yan Fei's hands is he not afraid that these horses are not obedient enough.
As for the twelve cows, they have been raised for less than a week, and before they know it, the twelve cows have changed. Especially a few of them, even became completely different from when they first came, and the workers were a little unrecognizable - Xu Xiaoyan knew that Yan Xiaofei, the villain, said that he raised cattle, but in fact, he simply replaced several of the cows.
However, whether it is a cow or a horse, it is not the focus of Yan Fei's attention.
The focus of his attention soon arrived, and a day in advance, he and Xu Xiaoyan set off from the ranch to Brisbane, and then rented a bus to the airport to wait.
Everyone in the country has finally arrived.
Heizi took more than 20 workers, Chen Yingjun's family and his original good brother's family, and arrived in Koala Country by plane together.
Everyone was very excited when they first met, and Chen Yingjun ran up with the baby in his arms: "Brother Fei, how is it?
Yan Fei didn't have a good temper with him, this guy didn't come to help him in advance in order to wait for someone to come together, which made him very unhappy. ignored Chen Yingjun's enthusiasm at all, and said to Du ** with a smile: "Sister-in-law has worked hard!"
Turning his head again, Kuroko led a group of people to shout neatly: "Brother Fei is good!"
Yan Fei's face darkened at that time.
Not only did his face darken, but even the people around him at the pick-up gate looked sideways, and many people even hurriedly walked away. As for the airport security officer, he became even more nervous, staring at them with his hands on his weapons.
In the past two years, it is said that the Chinese gangs have defeated the South Vietnamese gang one after another, and there is not much room for their activities.
Not only that, but they have even started to compete with local gangs for the illegal market, and their fame is growing – not a good one, as you can imagine.
Now this group of people's attitude towards Yan Fei is too much like a gang organization!
Yan Fei couldn't say more, and hurriedly beckoned: "Let's go, there's a car outside, hurry up and get in the car and go home." ”
A group of people followed him out as soon as they agreed, and when they walked, those security guards took a closer look and almost called the headquarters for support!
Several of the people who came were born as soldiers, and they never put down exercise in the cattle farm, so they walked obviously different from ordinary people, okay?
In other words, the reason why the Chinese gangs here are so powerful is not because there are trained people in them!
Looking at the posture of women and children in the middle when they walked around, they said that this was a group of cattle workers, who would believe it? They were all young and strong guys, and some of them looked around from time to time to observe the situation, saying that they were bodyguards.
Actually, I don't blame everyone, it's basically the first time to come abroad. There are people of different skin tones everywhere, just a group of people like yourself, is it possible not to hold a group?
And Yan Fei also said last time that the security here is what it looks good on the surface. Can you not be vigilant?
This vigilance naturally brought out some of the habits that had been trained before, and outsiders looked at them professional—they looked like everything anyway, except that they didn't look much like workers.
