Zhang Yuan and Martin left the manor and drove to a ranch less than ten kilometers from the small town of Auberdine, which is the largest pasture in the surrounding area, with tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and is very famous in several surrounding towns. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Yuan: When they came, the owner of the ranch had been waiting at the door for a long time.

It was a Caucasian man in his forties, not tall, but very muscular. The nose is red, and the hair on the top of the head has almost fallen out, which looks a little funny.

As soon as they got out of the car, the man laughed and opened his arms and walked towards them.

Martin also greeted him with open arms, and two big sturdy men hugged each other.

"Haha, Martin, how come you guys have time to come to me?"

After the hug, the bald man laughed and patted Martin on the shoulder.

Martin laughed as well and said, "You old bastard, don't you want me to come?" If it weren't for the fact that my boss came over to buy calves, I wouldn't have bothered to come and see you. ”

“BOSS？” The bald man was slightly stunned, he looked at Zhang Yuan who was standing on the side, "You mean ......?"

"That's right." Martin shrugged, "The manor already has a new owner, and he's my new boss." ”

"Haha, I've been wondering which lucky one will get Mersis Manor, but I didn't expect ......" The bald man laughed and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yuan, "My name is Larris, you can call me Larry, are you Chinese?" ”

"Actually, it's now renamed Emerald Manor - hello, my name is Zhang Yuan, you can call me Zhang, I'm from China."

Zhang Yuan smiled and shook Laris's hand.

The other party's hands are very thick and hard, and there are thick calluses on the tiger's mouth, which looks like hands that often work.

Then Martin came over and explained his intentions, and when he learned that they wanted to come and buy cattle, Laris's laughed again.

"Just buy a cow and look for me, Martin knows how healthy my little ones are, come, follow me, I'll show you a good look."

Lariss took Zhang Yuan's hand and led him towards the ranch.

Laris's ranch is not small, the total area is almost two-thirds the size of the Emerald Manor, but the environment is much worse than the Emerald Manor, at least it is not the type that Zhang Yuan likes. The whole land is divided into many areas by wooden fences, and different kinds of cattle and sheep are divided into ordinary areas, which is not only convenient for management, but also convenient for the land to rotate.

I have to say that there are really enough cattle and sheep here in Laris, there are many of them, and there are many types.

Zhang Yuan followed and watched, and after a while, he was a little dazzled, and Laris, who was beside him, kept introducing the cattle and sheep he raised.

"Zhang, if you're going to buy cattle, I mainly have Angus cattle, Simmental cattle and Limousin cattle here, these are all good breeds of beef cattle, and the meat yield is quite high. I also have Belgian blue and white cattle here, this kind of cattle also has a very high meat yield, but it is very troublesome to take care of, but they are very cheap, of course, you are so rich, you should like those cattle that are easier to take care of, then I recommend Angus cattle.

Angus cattle are adaptable, very simple to raise, and have a very high meat yield, and it is this beef that is sold the most on the market right now, and you will definitely like it. ”

Laris led Zhang Yuan to a fenced wooden fence with a large herd of black cows.

Angus cattle do not have horns, so they are also called hornless black bulls. Their heads are small and square, their foreheads are broad, their necks are not long but thick, and their bodies are cylindrical. The limbs are short and straight, and the distance between the two forelimbs and the two hind limbs is quite wide. The cow is not tall, but its body is very strong, and the knotted muscles on its body can be seen with the naked eye. They have thigh muscles that extend to the knuckles, and a broad back and waist, with the typical body shape of modern beef cattle.

The biggest feature of this kind of cattle is that the interstitial is very good, which is often referred to as marble. The well-bred Angus cattle are very well marbled and are very popular in the North American market, and they are the most sold beef in Canada. Of course, it's not easy to grow beautiful marbling.

During Laris's introduction, Martin followed alongside, and Zhang Yuan occasionally glanced at him, and he would nod slightly, indicating that Lariss was not lying.

In this way, Zhang Yuan made a decision in his heart.

Then they looked at Limousin cattle and Simmental cattle, both of which were also quite good. Limousin cattle are huge in size and even produce more meat than Angus cattle, but Limousin cattle have relatively little fat and are less marbled. Simmental cattle are a dual-purpose breed with good economic value and are also one of the most common breeds.

Zhang Yuan walked, watched, and thought. Listening to Laris's introduction, I was measuring in my heart.

After seeing the cows, they also went to see the sheep, here are also some common breeds, Boer goats, Dubo sheep, small-tailed Han sheep and hornless Tausset sheep, etc., Europeans and Americans still prefer to eat beef, so sheep people are relatively not as many as cattle breeders, and the types of sheep are less than the types of cattle.

Zhang Yuan had no plans to raise sheep for the time being, so he just looked at it, and then followed Laris's to continue shopping.

There is also a herd of horses in Laris's pasture, which is not very numerous and far from the cattle and sheep.

If Zhang Yuan wants to raise cattle, he must be free-range. Free-range cattle are better than captive-housed cattle, and the land on the estate is abundant. But if you want to be free-range, you need to hire cowboys, and you have to prepare horses for cowboys, so he followed Laris. The result was a big disappointment for him.

The horses looked very ordinary, with dull fur and no energy, standing or lying on their stomachs, lazy, and without any motivation at all. Although Zhang Yuan has a certain degree of certainty that they will be able to regain their spirits, since they are all money, why not buy some horses that are quite good from the beginning? Of course, the quality of the foundation will affect the growth of the horse, so he just took a few looks and completely lost interest.

After seeing the livestock in the pasture, the group of three came to Laris's villa, which is a small two-story building where Laris's family lives.

His wife was a very ordinary white woman, wearing an apron and dressed as a housewife.

Lunch was eaten at Larys's farm, and in order to entertain them, he took out the beef raised by the ranch himself, made large steaks, and fried them until they were seven ripe. Because it is Angus beef, there is more intermuscular fat, so the beef is very tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth, and the taste is quite good.

The wine drunk is the wine produced in the manor, red wine with beef, which is a representative of Western food in the hearts of many Chinese people.
