Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Meat Goat

Tracy is an expert in horse breeding, and her familiarity with horses is indeed above Kent, and she always seems to talk about these horses with relish.

"Such a big profit?" Gossey was shocked.

"Mr. West, in fact, it is not difficult to breed a pure Quarte, as long as there is a batch of Quarte horses that have achieved excellent results in the race, then its descendants can be regarded as BMW horses with relatively pure blood, and the price will be more expensive. However, it is not easy to cultivate a quarthorse that can win awards, and it is even more difficult to surpass the metallurgical dust of the year. Tracy said with a smile.

"Is metallurgical dust the name of a horse?"

One of the first local breed stallions to have the greatest influence on the breed, it was born in Kentucky and bought to Texas in 1844 by two Illinois farmers. The horse has been described as 'a fast horse with a large jaw, short back, short distance, 15 palms tall and weighing 1,200 pounds'. In the horse's time, it had no rivals. By the time the horse was 12 years old, he won the 1/4 mile, three more than the second-place finisher!" Tracy excitedly said, "Second place is a younger Kentucky imported horse named Monmouth. ”

"Sounds like a legend!"

"That's right, if metallurgical dust is estimated to sell for $1 million today, it is very easy, some time ago a batch of Texas Quartma won the prize, and sold for up to 700,000 US dollars. Work hard, if you can cultivate such an excellent quart, it is not only a good publicity for our ranch, but also a very high honor!"

"Oh, it sounds like a big challenge, but I love it, and the thought of being able to buy a horse from three or four thousand dollars to a million dollars makes me very excited." Gossi said excitedly, "Tracy, where can I buy this horse?" Are you going to a far place?"

Tracy smiled and shook her head: "It's not that exaggerated, Angus cattle and quartema are very common breeds here, if you want to buy, it is very easy to go to the market or pasture, and the same goes for sheep, but I don't know what sheep you like, is it milk?" Hair or meat?"

"I've heard that Boer goats are a very good meat sheep, so I think there are them here, right?" Gossey asked.

Gao Xi's family also raised Boer goats, known as the world's "king of meat goats", is the world's famous production of high-quality lean goats, is an excellent meat goat breed. It has a large body size and fast growth; Strong fecundity and the advantages of more lambs.

If you raise meat sheep, you can't go wrong with Boer goats, the key is that it is a non-seasonal breeding livestock, which can produce lambs all year round! That's a lot of more production.

"Boer goats are available, how many do you need to buy?"

"Let's try five hundred first, well, let's buy twenty first, it doesn't take too much, it's still quite expensive." Gossey thought for a moment.

"Okay, then that's easy, the number is less than three hundred, and it's generally not too troublesome. It can be sold on nearby pastures, and I know many professional sheep and horse farmers. As for cattle, Angus cattle are also easy to do, the key is Simmental cattle, a little troublesome, but no problem, if it really doesn't work, let's go to a cattle broker, these professionals will always have a way. ”

The profession of cattle brokerage is available in China and the United States, and there are a lot of them, which can definitely be regarded as professionals, and it is the Bole of cattle.

"Oh, with your help, this matter is much easier, to be honest, if it was just me to do this by myself, I would have to be so tired that I would have to vomit blood, thank you very much, you really have to thank you." Gao Xi now sincerely felt how wise he was to keep these cowboys first, and then think about the construction of the ranch.

With the help of these people, a lot of things will be much easier.

"That's what we're doing, there's nothing to thank." Kent smiled.

"No, Uncle Kent, we may take this opportunity to open his mouth and ask him to raise his salary, hehe." Tracy, a bold female man, really doesn't beat around the bush when she speaks.

"Don't call me uncle!" Kent said very seriously: "As for the salary, the owner will decide for himself, don't worry about us, do our duty well, and don't worry about it." ”

Hearing Kent's words, Gao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he originally thought that Americans were the kind of people who like to make trouble, and if they don't raise wages, they will go on strike or something, and if they really encounter that kind of thing, they won't deal with it, after all, they haven't encountered it before, and now it seems that the facts are not all what he imagined, and his understanding of the United States seems to be still on the surface.

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I'm not a stingy person, and my salary will definitely rise, just do a good job." The reason why Gao Xi didn't directly give a salary of 2,000 US dollars before was to prepare for a salary increase, so a salary increase is inevitable, the key depends on how to raise the salary, if these people don't do well and want to raise their salary, it's a pipe dream, and he is not stupid, but he won't do that kind of stupid thing.

The crowd discussed the details of the ranch for a while, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart relationship, the relationship between the rancher and the cowboy is varied, it can be a friend, it can be a superior, it can be a simple employment relationship, it depends on how you deal with it.

Anyway, what Gao Xi wants is friends, so in this way, there is no barrier between everyone, and many things can be said freely.

"Then let's go shopping in the afternoon, it should still be dinner time, even if we go, we have to wait." So, owner, how about I'll call you in an hour?" Finally, Kent said.

"I'm going too?" Gao Xi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Of course, it's okay not to go, but I think that the West Farm Master, you are new to the city, you should still know more people, we run farms and ranches, we are more bold, easy to get close to, I don't want those people on Wall Street to cheat me, calculate with each other, make more friends, and it will be easier to solve difficulties in the future, you say I'm right?"

"Alright then, that's it." Gao Xi thought about it, he can't be the same as before, just hide in the room and play on the computer, although it is also a very important thing to study the magic spring, but it is equally important to make friends and gain knowledge.

After speaking, Gao Xi returned to his residence with a few lightning bolts, because the weather was cooler, there was no need to take a nap, even if he wanted to sleep, he couldn't sleep, so Gao Xi sat in the living room and watched TV for a while.

He originally thought that American TV dramas were all films such as "House of Cards", "Prison Break", and "Anti-Terrorism 24 Hours", but who knew that in fact, the TV dramas broadcast by many TV stations are actually a large number of crude soap operas, which are particularly boring.

Fortunately, he was prepared, took out his two-TB hard drive from the space, plugged it directly into the TV, and then watched it, and the hard drive was full of his favorite TV series and movies, which is called enjoyment.

While he was watching TV, Kent and the others were not idle, as cowboys, they were actually all-round workers on the ranch, and they had to do everything.

Carpentry work, electrician work, they can do this, even if it is to repair a machine or something, it is not impossible to do it, unless it is a big problem, otherwise, even the money for hiring a repairman will be directly saved.

The traditional kind of pure cowboy, in today's era, is really inseparable, the progress of the times, accompanied by the disappearance of the ancient profession, which is also a helpless thing, in China, the United States.
