Chapter 42 Cattle and Horse Trading Market
"I know Yellowstone, it's not far from our ranch, right?"
"Well, if you drive from the ranch, it will take you more than ten minutes, and from Bozeman, it will take more than ten minutes. However, there may be more cars on the road today, this month, it is the peak season for cattle and sheep trading, you can be regarded as a good opportunity, it is estimated that you can also see some new hybrid breeds that have just come out of the research base. Kent said with a smile.
"yes, that's going to have to be seen." Gao Xi rubbed his hands, he felt that everything was new now, because he had never seen such a cattle and horse market, although they also raised sheep and cattle there, but they were all family units, basically only one or two, like their family of more than 20 sheep is rare.
Generally, when buying sheep and cattle, someone will come to collect them, and there is no need to run to any market.
On the way, Gao Xi was still guessing what kind of town Yellowstone Town was, and he imagined a lot in his head, but when he got there, he realized that his brain hole was not big enough.
In the whole Huangshi Town, I feel that there are not as many residents as a village in their hometown in Gaoxi, and the houses scattered in the field are even a town, and the huge market is the focus of this town, which is dozens of times larger than the houses of the residents.
In the open space outside the town, there are many different vehicles parked, including small pickup trucks, large trailers, large trucks, and some very high-end off-road vehicles, which gives Gaucy the illusion that he is in a Transformers movie, and the ones he sees in front of him are Autobots.
Thinking of this, Gao Xi couldn't help but laugh silly.
"Ahem, Lord Xichang, don't giggle, it's already here, get out of the car quickly." Kent parked the big trailer in the open space, and was about to go to the trading market, but when he saw that Gossey was still smirking in the passenger seat of the car, he coughed twice in embarrassment and shouted.
Gao Xi's face was very flat, and he didn't mean to be embarrassed at all, jumped out of the car and closed the door, and then the smell of grass mixed with the smell of livestock came from his nose.
To be honest, the smell was not good, and Kent may have gotten used to it and didn't think anything was wrong, but Gaucy still couldn't stand it.
He has seen sheep at home, and they are all like this, and if he were a person who has never been in contact with livestock at all, he will probably faint on the spot when he smells such a smell.
As Kent said, there are a lot of livestock, just as many people, and you can see a lot of men and women wearing western cowboy suits on the road, although they may not be cowboys, but this is already standard for people who live on the ranch.
Of course, there are also some so-called city people from the city, who are more politely dressed, and there are even suits and leather shoes, I don't know what they are here for.
The trading market is not as good as imagined, in fact, it is a fence to enclose some frames, and then some materials can be sheltered from the wind and rain at random, fortunately there is not much wind here, otherwise it is estimated that the roof will definitely be blown away by the wind.
People chatted and appraised cattle and horses, and many people gathered to listen to the rancher or the researcher introduce their livestock or hybrids.
To Gao Xi, this is really a bit like those vendors who go to Amway in the countryside, holding a loudspeaker, and there they are trying to introduce their own things, while trying to mobilize their emotions as much as possible, and they are excited.
"Let's go over there." Kent quickly locked in a place to sell Angus cattle, which were not hard to find because they were common in the area, and the number they needed was not particularly large, two hundred heads, which could be enough.
Kent only told Gaucy that Tracy was an expert in horse breeding and Anastasia was an expert in sheep breeding, but he never told Gaucy that he was actually very good at cattle breeding.
Because of this, Kent did not look for a cattle broker, but accompanied Gao Xi by himself.
"Angus cattle are generally black, and their fur is as beautiful as black satin, which belongs to the more purebred Angus cattle. Of course, there has been a kind of red Angus cattle recently, and there are more and more people who breed this red Angus cattle in the United States, because the growth rate of red Angus cattle is fast, and the adult cattle weigh 800~900 kg, and the meat yield is as high as 75%. Moreover, this kind of beef meat is delicious and nutritious. What do you like, purebred or red?" As he walked, Kent introduced Gaussey to one of his targets this time, the Angus Cow, and as a cowboy, he really had to be very dutiful.
"You want a black purebred, you haven't raised a red one, have you?"
"Yes, we haven't raised the red ones, so we don't have much experience, in fact, the black ones are not bad." Kent said with a smile.
"Then you want the black ones, you have experience, plus the pastures are all this kind of black Angus cattle, don't make too much of it." Gossey thought for a moment.
"Well, it's easy to buy black ones too." After Kent got Gaucy's plan, he went straight to the Angus cattle trading ground, and turned around several places, but many of them were adult cattle, and they came to buy calves this time, and they scraped together enough to get two hundred Angus calves.
"Do you want to bring these cattle back first?" Gossey asked.
"There's no need, I'm going to drive a big trailer to transport Simmental cattle, just let them send these Angus cattle to the pasture, more than ten minutes away, they won't refuse, it may be a little later, but it will definitely be delivered before tonight." Kent shook his head.
"Then go to Simmental now?"
"Yes, let's go around and see if there are any better Simmental cattle, preferably calves, if not, we can change them to adult cattle, but it's not very cost-effective. But I think the price of cattle is okay now, although the price of grass and land is soaring, but the price of beef has not risen, and I will definitely not lose money if I buy it now. "Kent is familiar with the owners of those Angus cattle, so after agreeing to deliver them directly, he doesn't have to worry about anything, and someone will send the cattle directly to the pasture at that time, and the next key is the Simmental cattle that Gaucy wants.
The two of them were wandering around the market when they suddenly heard a shout.
"Kent, Kent! You guy, I asked you how things were going, and I said that I would come to my ranch to help after you left Thomas Ranch, why didn't you hear back?"
The shouting was a bearded man who almost covered his entire face, wearing a certain cap and wearing the same clothes as Super Mario, feeling less like a ranch worker and more like a truck driver or worker.
"Oh, it's you, Jinson, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, I now have a new owner, Thomas Ranch has also changed its name to Yellowstone Ranch, this is my boss, Mr. West, a rancher from China, who has now become an American citizen." Kent seemed a little embarrassed to see the beard, and he really forgot what Jinson said.
"Chinese? Hmph, don't just come here and buy a ranch and get ready to extract oil, right?" Jin Sen was obviously very prejudiced against the Chinese, because one of his friends in Tennessee sold the ranch and found that the Chinese did not want to graze the cattle at all, but directly used the pasture as an oil field, which made his friend very unhappy.
"The owner of the West Farm is different, by the way, speaking of which, I remember that you seem to have raised a batch of Simmental cattle, do you want to sell them? Our westerners want to buy about 500 Simmental cattle, and if you want to sell them, we can negotiate them. "Kent had actually suspected Gaucy's purpose before, but now he doesn't suspect it, and if Gaucy didn't want to graze, he wouldn't have bought so much livestock.
