The 'Dream Ranch' is a super ranch with a total area of more than 200,000 acres, which translates to more than 800 square kilometers, which means that even in a standard rectangle, the 'Dream Ranch' is a huge storage of 20 kilometers × 40 kilometers.

What's more, the 'Dream Ranch' is an irregular area, about 60 kilometers long from north to south and 30 kilometers wide from east to west, and it is not easy to complete it.

However, as the owner of the ranch, Xiao Feng decided to use a period of time to conduct an all-round inspection of the 'Dream Ranch', so as to understand the specific situation of his own ranch.

When Xiao Feng brought up this idea at dinner, it was strongly approved by his father, and although his mother and wife were a little hesitant, they did not object in the end.

So, after a series of preparations, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang rode a meteor and a big flower horse, as well as two American flower horses with luggage, and entered the depths of the ranch fully armed.

At present, more than 150,000 acres of 'Dream Ranch' have been converted into grassland, and 20,000 acres of forest and 10,000 acres of water are under control of the endless grassland.

Only the remaining 20,000 acres, or about 80 square kilometers, are located deep into the Rocky Mountains, bordering the Yellow, Stone, National, and Common, which is also the location of the 'Dream Ranch' ecosystem and the outside world.

Since the 'Mirror Lake Group' took over the three ranches and became the 'Dream Ranch', a new fence system has been launched, with a total length of more than 80 kilometers, but it still cannot completely separate the 'Dream Ranch' from the outside world.

This time, the area that Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang are going to inspect is this primeval jungle with biodiversity. This is also where the 'Dream Ranch' is least understood.

Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang entered the jungle area, and they didn't let everyone worry too much, after all, in addition to bringing two powerful sheepdogs, Baiyun and Black Earth, they also carried enough guns, ammunition, and medicine, and the threat of wild animals to them was almost zero.

Among Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang's equipment, a crossbow with a scope is the best choice for hunting. And two Ray Ming Don Hunting Guns are the best to use to protect against North American brown bears and wild wolves that may attack humans, and of course, there is a short gun pinned to the waists of the two of them!

Xiao Feng was holding the famous 'Sand, Desert, and Eagle', and it was a gilded version, which looked more like a work of art, and of course, its power was also extremely strong. That is, Xiao Feng, a person who is strong and powerful. in order to withstand its strong recoil.

Xiao Jinyang is equipped with the M500, which is known as the world's strongest turn, wheel, hand, and gun by military fans, which claims to be able to kill an elephant with one shot, although it has not been tested in the field, but it is more than enough to use as a final self-defense weapon.

Xiao Feng's father and son, who entered the mountain with the arsenal, naturally have no problem with their safety, unless they encounter heavily armed terrorists, or they are just beasts. It is not a threat to them.

…………

Maple Leaf Castle is located at the southernmost edge of Dream Ranch, and the area to be inspected this time is at the northernmost edge of the ranch. This means that Xiao Feng and his son need to travel a distance of nearly 70 kilometers across the entire ranch. Although horses were on their way, they expected it to take a whole day to reach the outskirts of the primeval jungle, rest for a night, and enter the jungle the next day.

After starting from the 'Maple Leaf Castle', there is lush pasture all the way. In some places, they are even taller than people, but fortunately they are riding horses, otherwise they can't even see the road.

At the end of August, the snow in the Rocky Mountains melts, and many seasonal rivers run freely on the pastures. Patches of temporary water were formed, and Xiao Feng and his father had to change routes frequently to find a suitable way to cross the river.

It is the continuous flow of glacial meltwater that transports the 'spatial spiritual spring' that Xiao Feng put into the pasture waters to all corners of the pasture, so that the growth of the pasture can be so good.

According to Bob Sr.'s experience and some test counts, Dream Ranch can carry about 3 beef cattle per acre of pasture, which is 3-5 times that of ordinary pasture.

Bob Sr. has already started building a storage warehouse for green fodder and hay, and plans to start making green fodder and hay in October to cope with the long winter ahead.

If the pasture's green fodder and hay can meet the nutritional needs of beef cattle in winter, it can save a lot of money and increase the profit level of the ranch.

In fact, people who know the state of agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States, especially in Montana, know that in Montana's ranches, winter expenses account for more than half of the ranch's operating costs, and even some pastures with poor environment account for two-thirds.

Therefore, every autumn is the peak season for major ranches to sell cattle and sheep, and at this time, the pricing power is in the hands of Wall Street consortiums, and the bargaining power of farmers and ranchers is not high, and it is common to encounter price reductions.

Of course, organic farms that have access to direct access to high-end restaurants are not on the list, and their cattle and sheep are still being scrambled for even if the price is much higher than that of ordinary feeder cattle.

For Bob Sr., the future of Dream Ranch is something to look forward to, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture has sent several teams to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the ranch and initially assess it as an organic ranch.

When the cattle and sheep of the 'Dream Ranch' are slaughtered, they will be able to sell for a good price!

Of course, Old Bob didn't know much about the good relationship between the 'Mirror Lake Group' and the 'Wharton Group' and the personal friendship between the Xiao family and the Walton family. The sales of the products of the 'Dream Ranch' are naturally not a problem, and even in the future, the 'Dream Ranch' will have enough independent pricing power, but now the old Bob is not deeply involved in the internal affairs of the 'Mirror Lake Group', and he has not yet understood these insiders.

Along the way, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang were not only able to see a pleasing pasture, but also a variety of small animals such as white-tailed deer and foxes, and the ranch was full of life.

With the 'Mirror Lake Ranch', the 'Space Spirit Spring' not only promotes the rapid growth of pastures, but also attracts a large number of small animals to make the ranch their home and migrate to the pasture to settle down.

These small animals, as well as some omnivorous beasts, do not affect the ranch's ecosystem and pose no threat to the herd. Therefore, the ranch will not clean up these small animals because of this.

Because they didn't feel threatened, these little animals were quite bold, and when Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinyang were resting and having lunch by a small lake, a group of foxes actually came to the side very boldly and came to eat.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng and the two couldn't cry or laugh. In the end, I made a big pot of fish soup and rice for the foxes to taste.

After the rest, Xiao Jinyang and his son continued to set off, according to the location of the GPS, there are still more than 30 kilometers away from the night camping point, and it is necessary to arrive before dark, which can not be delayed.

You know, the terrain on the pastures is highly variable, coupled with the effect of seasonal glacial meltwater. Many roads do not lead directly to guò, so it takes even more time.

Fortunately, Xiao Jinyang's father and son are both experienced in wild life, and they did not panic too much in the face of this situation, and strictly followed the direction of GPS guidance, getting closer to the destination little by little.

As the position continued to move, Xiao Jinyang felt that the Rocky Mountains were getting bigger and bigger, although it was still a little different from the majesty of Biluo Snow Mountain, but it also showed the grandeur of the famous mountains of the North American continent.

In fact. It is precisely because of the existence of the Rocky Mountains, Xiao Jinyang, Xue Lihua and the young cowboy from Ginkgo Village. It will adapt to the life of 'Dream Ranch' in a very short time.

For them, it is not necessarily too lonely to be away from Ginkgo Village, the similar environment and happy life will always make people dilute their hometown.

In the past, Xiao Jinyang had also entered the depths of Biluo Snow Mountain many times to hunt, camp, etc., and this time he had the opportunity to investigate the situation in the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone Park. It was also a good experience for Xiao Jinyang.

What Xiao Jinyang is even more looking forward to is that his son has purchased several hunting qualification certificates from the relevant departments in the town, and various prey, including brown bears, red deer, and reindeer, have certain indicators, and he can finally have a good hunting addiction.

When Xiao Jinyang was a child, the closure of mountains for afforestation and animal protection had not yet begun. He often went hunting with his father and Xiao Siye to the mountains, and at that time, whether it was red deer, black bears or even Bengal tigers, they were targeted.

It's just that after entering the 80s, there are very few opportunities to hunt large wild animals, at most, the wild boars that are flooded every year, and there is no new and exciting feeling.

Xiao Jinyang did not expect that in the United States, the government would sell hunting licenses to the public at prices ranging from 200 to 500 US dollars, which subverted some of his perceptions.

In the past, Xiao Jinyang always thought that Europe and the United States, from the people to the government, had a strong sense of environmental protection and would not hunt wild animals on a large scale, but the actual situation was the opposite.

In order to reduce the negative impact of wild animals on agricultural and animal husbandry production and the potential danger of attack on tourists, local governments in the United States will open certain hunting indicators every year according to the specific conditions of their jurisdictions.

Even so, most of these indicators cannot be consumed in full!

The reason for this is that Americans are not fond of wild meat, and for them, spending a few hundred dollars on a hunting license is something that only the rich and wealthy would do, and ordinary people rarely do it.

Taking wild boar as an example, the hunting license of an adult boar is only fifty dollars, and if it is placed in China, it will definitely be robbed of its head.

You must know that the price of a pound of wild boar in Yaozhou will not be less than 40rmb, and a 200-pound wild boar can be sold for at least 5000rmb, and such a price is in short supply!

What's more, a $500 brown bear hunting license, the bear skin alone is more than $500, but most of these hunting results cannot be the same as commercial purposes, which makes many people shy away.

At this time, some people will say, isn't it okay to quietly sell the harvest of bear skins and deer skins after hunting?

However, most of the people who can ask these questions are not very familiar with American law, and Xiao Jinyang also asked his son this way.

Under Xiao Feng's explanation, Xiao Jinyang knew that Lao Mei would be punished quite severely for this kind of violation of the hunting permit law and unauthorized use for commercial purposes, and once discovered, the amount of the fine could make people desperate!

Speaking of which, there are certain benefits to the forward-looking situation of capitalist countries, including tax evasion, food safety, and so on, and the fines are jaw-dropping.

This also makes the United States very credible in areas such as taxation and food safety, which is in stark contrast to the Chinese side, without which the cost of crime in many areas in China is simply too low.

In the case of food safety, for example, many penalties are innocuous and painless, which forms a strong contrast with high profits, which stimulates more people to invest in it.

In order to crack down on and put an end to counterfeit and shoddy products, Jinghu Group had to pay out of its own pocket and set up a whistle-blowing fund to reward whistleblowers!

It is precisely because the 'Jinghu Group' is not stingy that the fake imagination of various top-level ingredients can be controlled, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness!

The longer he lived in the United States, Xiao Jinyang realized that no government is perfect, the moon in foreign countries may not be farther, and the stars in China may not be the brightest.

Xiao Jinyang chatted with his son as he admired the approaching Rocky Mountains and the lush primeval jungle of evergreen coniferous forests that had been part of the state of Montana's public land that had been bought by the previous salmon ranch owner.

However, this forest does not actually produce much economic benefits, after all, these are within the scope of nature reserves, and large-scale felling and development are prohibited, and at most some fungi can be collected from them.

And, because it's home to a lot of wildlife in Yellowstone National Park, the 'Dream Ranch' can't just enclose it all, it's a lot of restrictions.

For ranchers who pursue economic benefits, such a forest is actually a piece of chicken ribs, but for a romantic like Xiao Feng, who is not bad for money, it is actually a good thing to have a natural hunting ground.

Therefore, Xiao Feng not only did not consider the development of this forest, but also kept the more than 5,000 acres of mountainous land close to the forest as it was, did not eradicate the shrubs and weeds in it, and maintained the original ecological ecosystem.

If you look at it from the air, you can see that the fully automatic irrigation pasture of the 'Dream Ranch' has come to an abrupt halt a mile from the forest, and it looks distinct.

5,000 acres of pasture can feed more than 10,000 beef cattle, and the annual income is a lot, but for Xiao Feng, a romantic, money is not the most important thing......! R1292
