Chapter XXXVIII

"Is it all done, Kent?" Gao Xi saw Kent walk out, still holding a paper in his hand, presumably already listing the items and livestock that needed to be purchased at the moment, as well as the types of livestock.

"Of course, this little thing is not difficult for me, I used to do this kind of thing a lot, come, Mr. West, take a look, what is still missing, or what you don't know, just ask directly, let's mainly determine these things, if you buy them, just leave them to me." Kent gave himself a thumbs up, looking very confident, too, an old cowboy, if he couldn't even do this little thing, then it is estimated that the rancher in the past would not give him such a high salary.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Gossi took the document from Kent's hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but praise Kent's work, which listed the things that should be bought, the things that were missing, and the things that were recommended to be bought were all listed very clearly, and even the approximate price was marked next to it, so that Gossi could make a decision.

Regarding the construction of stables and sheepfolds, Gao Xi did not have any suggestions, because he did not understand them at all, and what he tabooed most was that laymen led insiders, so he did not make any suggestions or opinions on this.

You know, he still knows a little bit about some of the things used in sheep, but they are domestic dairy goats, which are not quite the same as this kind of large pasture stocking. And horse breeding, he just doesn't know anything at all, like what kind of saddle, water reins, sweat pads, etc., I have heard of it, but what it is and how to use it, he really can't say that he doesn't know.

So he doesn't care about these utensils, anyway, this stage is the learning stage, and these things are not expensive, just let Kent take full responsibility.

The only thing he suggested was the breed and quantity of sheep, horses and cattle, which after all, was related to the issue of funds, not as cheap as the rest of the things, and it was also related to the direction of Gaoxi's future breeding, which was absolutely not sloppy.

"By the way, Kent, the ones we have on our ranch are Angus cattle now, right?"

"Yes, the nearly 2,000 heads are Angus cattle, mainly for meat, Mr. Xi probably also knows that we Westerners like to eat beef, and many foods are inseparable from beef, so there is no problem with the sales of beef cattle here. Angus cattle are not the best beef cattle, but they have an ancient tradition, and their hardy properties make them very common in our area. Kent explained.

"Well, let's buy two hundred more Angus cows, and another five hundred Simmental cows, there should be one here, right?" Gossi asked, after a moment's thought.

Simmental cattle are a breed of both dairy and meat. Due to the high milk production of Simmental cattle, the meat production performance is not worse than that of specialized beef cattle breeds, and the service performance is also very good.

The reason why Gao Xi wants to buy Simmental cattle is because of its omnipotence, because if this kind of cow is taken with magic spring water, its advantages in all aspects will be greatly improved, then it will definitely become a world-class sacred cow, compared to a single Angus beef cattle, it is definitely much more promising.

Of course, there must be a lot of caution when taking magic spring water, so he will choose the calf to be tested in the Night Elf camp first, and then use it on a large scale after confirming that it can be used, and because of this, he only needs to buy five hundred, which is not much, but he doesn't know if there are such cows here.

"Five hundred heads should still be no problem, any more will be a bit of a trouble." Kent's words made Gao Xi breathe a sigh of relief, as long as there is a need, as for the need for large-scale introduction in the future, it can be imported from the outside, just some more freight.

"That's good, the cattle are decided, two hundred Angus cattle, five hundred Simmental cattle, should they buy calves directly?" Gossey asked.

"Not necessarily, you can also choose a pregnant cow, but in that case, the price will be much higher. So it's better to buy calves directly, after all, cows still grow very quickly, unlike us humans. Kent said with a smile.

Gao Xi thought about it, if he used the Life Spring Water and the Magic Spring Water, his own cattle would only grow faster, of course, not too fast, if you look at the growth speed of those dogs, it will be too fast, which will cause a lot of trouble.

But this is not a problem, Gao Xi is ready to study the magic spring water in the future, and strive to separate the effects of the magic spring water, promote growth, strengthen intelligence and strengthen all aspects of the characteristics If they are separated, there is no need to worry too much.

It just so happens that there is a laboratory in the Ancient Tree.,I guess it used to be used to study these.,The only regret is that I don't know the elven text yet.,If only there was an elf to help.,Alas.。

"Mr. West? What are you thinking?" Seeing that Gaucy didn't respond for a long time, Kent couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing, I want to ask, if Americans raise horses, what kind of horses do they usually raise?" Gaucy prevaricated with a question to avoid his own embarrassment.

"Quartma! Quarter horse, of course! The American Quarter Horse is not only famous for horse racing, but also for western rodeo horses, horse shows, and service cattle horses. The compact size of the Quarter horse is ideal for lapping, cattle interception, cattle herding, barrel racing, calf lasing and other western riding events, especially when it comes to live cattle. It is a very fast horse, balanced and alert. At the start, the speed is fast; Good at sharp turns. Level-headed, kind, and steady. Kent said excitedly, as if he felt a sense of pride at the mention of Quarter Horse.

"That's right, Mr. West, the Quarter Horse is the favorite horse of Americans and cowboys!" Tracy on the side also gave a thumbs up and said.

"It's expensive, isn't it?" Gao Xi hesitated and asked.

"No, no, no, you may be mistaken, in fact, the quarthorses are a major type of service horse, and their owners are also ordinary people, and they occupy a small place in the intoxicating world of thoroughbred horse racing. Western settlers crossed their horses with Spanish mares from the region, which had long been known for their hard-working, stoic, unrivalled herding characteristics and staying power. It is a very ordinary horse, and the pedigree is not pure enough, but because of its characteristics, it is deeply loved by herdsmen and cowboys, of course, because of this, it will be a little more expensive than ordinary horses, but it is only a few hundred dollars, don't worry. ”

"Well, I see that the price of an ordinary Mustang on your list is about $3,000, and is the price of a quarthorse at the same price?" Gossey asked.

"That's right, it's basically the price, a better one is up to 4,000 dollars, so I said it's actually not expensive, as a ranch, if you want to buy a horse, I suggest you buy a quart horse, and there is no point in other horses." Kent replied.

"Well, then do as you say." Gao Xi nodded, he really didn't know much about horses, Quarter Ma had heard of it, but it was only limited to what he had heard, but fortunately, the Internet was developed now, and he could find out about Quarter Horse's information from the Internet.

In this era of the Internet, as long as you are diligent enough, many things can be found on the Internet, which is also the luck of people in this era.

"Mr. West, in fact, what Kent just said is not entirely true, there were many people who bred Quarter horses in the past, but unfortunately they only value the speed performance of Quarter horses, and do not pay attention to the pedigree and pedigree, resulting in confusion and random hybridization, so the price is relatively low. It was only after the early 1990s that attention was paid to tracing the origins of the Quartma. And also for this purpose to set up the Quarter Horse Association, today's Quarter horses, there are also some descendants of precious horses, the bloodline is relatively pure, the price is naturally more expensive, by the way, there have been Chinese here to buy some more pure blood Quarter horses, are sold at a price of more than 30,000 US dollars. ”
