When the plane landed at Lewistown Airport, as soon as he got off the plane, Ju An felt the cold of Montana, the temperature in New York was much lower, and when he got out of the airport, he found that it was Er Zhuang who came to pick up the plane, threw the luggage to the back seat, and Ju An did the co-pilot's seat, and as soon as Ju An sat down, Er Zhuang started the F150 and drove two people in the direction of the ranch.

"By the way, has Thomas arranged for those old beauties to come home for Thanksgiving?" asked Ju An.

"Well, it's been arranged, when the cattle are gathered in the evening, they can go back, and in two days they will go back to the pasture, and the people at the ranch will need to gather the cattle twice," Erzhuang said.

"That is, it will be more difficult to gather the cattle tomorrow and the night after tomorrow, and when the time comes, when the group of Chilean cowboys in the east finishes collecting the cows, let them come and help you gather the cattle here," Ju An said after thinking for a while.

Er Zhuang said with a smile: "Brother An, don't worry, the cattle on our side are better than the Chilean cowboys, the gray cows needless to say, the strongest of them is equivalent to the leader, drive him away, a group of cattle will follow him, and the cattle in the ordinary herd are similar, and the gray bulls in the past are much more energetic, and they are looking for the original bulls to fight all day long, so naturally the original cattle are divided into several small groups, as long as these cattle are driven, they can easily pick them up, It's just that ordinary breeding bulls have had some injuries these days, but there are no major problems, and Thomas says they are basically useless."

Ju An frowned and asked: "What's going on, how can those bulls be useless, and when the time comes, they will raise the same selling money and have more meat."

Er Zhuang replied with a smile: "The bulls in the ranch are mainly kept for breeding, and the little bulls are generally sent to the slaughterhouse at the age of two to be slaughtered, and now some of the bulls in the original herd have no chance to breed at all, and the bulls that are ready to breed have fought several times with the gray bulls that are divided, and they have been injured a lot by the gray bulls that are two circles bigger, and Thomas said that he will discuss with you when you come back and send them to slaughter."

Ju An nodded and said: "This is not bad, but don't send it to slaughter, slaughter it in your own pasture and eat it, save money to buy beef, by the way, the weather is getting colder and colder, it is estimated that it will snow in less than a month, and the pasture grass in the pasture is withered."

Erzhuang said happily: "Other pastures have withered, although the grass in our pasture looks like it is withered, but the roots are still slowly growing, that is, they grow much slower, and they are much shorter, the grass leaves have become much wider, and they will wither and yellow soon after they grow, and the cattle still love to eat the dry grass leaves on the ground, and they don't like to eat the hay we store ourselves, Thomas is now putting the cattle in a few woods at night and feeding the hay, for fear that the cattle will gnaw the grass roots and destroy the pasture, and the pasture will not grow well in the coming year. Taylor's three of them have a portion of their pasture that is similar to ours of our grass, and they came to talk to Thomas the day before yesterday and said that if the grass could fill their pasture next year they would be much better."

Ju An smiled, this is still because he was afraid of being too conspicuous, so he let the pasture expand in the past, if he spread a few pastures in Taylor, then at least bring a dozen or so nearby pastures, buddy has that kind of friendship with them, not only after next year, after saying that his ranch still has a few corners and corners that have not been expanded, where he can take care of others, and then asked: "Then this year's hay storage should be enough, how much does Thomas think can be consumed by corn and oats."

"Half is enough, and there are too many corn, oats, etc., Thomas estimates that only a third of these two things will be enough, and when you come back, tell you to sell some," Er Zhuang replied as he looked at the road.

Ju An said: "Where is this, the coldest night in Montana is minus ten or twenty degrees, not necessarily more, stay in the pasture when occupying first, and if there are more, feed the cattle from time to time for their own consumption."

"Thomas said that it will be snowing early at that time, and once it snows, the temperature under the snow will be much higher than that on the snow, and maybe the grass will be green and grow faster," Er Zhuang replied with a smile.

Ju An thought about it after hearing it, and it was right, in the end, the old cowboy's consideration was reasonable. Since there is no need to worry about pasture or anything, Ju'an also settled down, followed Erzhuang to understand the situation of Erzhuang's family, and the two of them chatted and went to the ranch.

As soon as the two of them returned to the ranch, Er Zhuang parked the car back to the storehouse, prepared his horse, and went about his own business.

As soon as he pushed the door open with his luggage and returned to the house, Ju An was naturally warmly welcomed by the two comrades, Teddy and Wu Song, and followed Teddy and Wu Song to make out a lot. I looked at the two eaglets on the gun cabinet, the two little guys are still growing fast, a few days without seeing a lot of profits, the black feathers are more, basically no white fetal feathers, with the bird's nest went upstairs to put down the luggage, put the bird's nest into the space, and then found a thick dress in the cloakroom to put on, to the horse to the horse to the bean grass saddle and water reins, riding the bean grass, ready to go to their own pasture to patrol for a while, by the way to the cowboys to say hello, tell everyone that they are back, Who knows that just stepped on the back of the bean grass, ran a distance, and felt cold, in the house and sitting in the car did not feel anything, riding the bean grass and running, it was cold, then turned back, after wearing a windbreaker before continuing to inspect the pasture, circled, the situation made Ju An very satisfied, looked at the grass, as Er Zhuang said, to the pond saw a few dwarf vine leaves are green and black, energetic, Sith alone to watch the geese and ducks are still the same, fat head and big ears, paddling in the water, When you eat hot pot in winter, you can give full play to their role.

As soon as the meal was finished at noon, Ju An was playing with Teddy and Wu Song on the sofa, and the old Thomas pushed the door in, put the cowboy hat on his head on the coffee table, and began to tell Ju An about the arrangements for Thanksgiving in the ranch, in addition to a few nearby American cowboys, Lawrence would also go back to town to celebrate the holiday with his family, but it was only one night. Thomas is no longer his wife, and neither Wynne nor Andrew are married, so they both stay behind to take care of the ranch.

After talking about Thanksgiving, Thomas thought about it and mentioned one more thing: "Ann, there are thirty or forty deer on the side of the pasture near the foot of the mountain, which happens to be upstream of the small river to the east, and I guess I know that the grass there is good, that is, the grass of the pasture grows, and it is close to the water source, and it seems that I am going to spend the winter there."

Juan said: "As long as they don't come into the pasture, don't worry about them, there is a lot of work to deal with any deer, if there is a deer with a dozen forks, I am interested." This guy himself didn't take this situation into account at all, deer also eat grass, and there is so little grass outside in winter that even the deer know that they have to go to the edge of the buddy ranch to fight the autumn wind.

"Haha, don't think about this, Taylor and they have already beaten a few big deer, this is what they told me, the bigger deer such as moose and red deer can't get through, but the smaller deer can, like the white-tailed deer, if there are too many, you have to drive away, if you don't have to fight with the cattle for pasture, and if the wolves in the mountains find that there are deer here for the winter, maybe the wolves will come over," Thomas said.

Ay! This guy is good at raising cattle, and he has also attracted wild deer, which may also attract wolves, this guy has big side effects, patted his brain, thought about it and said: "The wolves will eat the deer when they come, anyway, it is a wild deer, what does it have to do with us."

Thomas shook his head and said, "After all, the deer run fast, and it will be more difficult for the wolves to hunt the deer in the snow after the snow, because I am afraid that the wolves will shift the target to the calves in the pasture at night."

When Ju An heard this, this was really a troublesome thing. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then do you have any suggestions to listen to?"

"The point is that we have too few cattle dogs now, so we can only walk around the fence every few days with a few cowdogs, leaving a smell, so that the wolf pack of seven or eight wolves will know that there are cattle dogs in the pasture, and when everyone goes to bed at night, they will wake up, and there will be basically nothing to do," Thomas said.

Ju An nodded: "If you find that the wolves are near the ranch, do so, dare to enter the ranch to fight one by one, and kill two and a pair." My buddy didn't plan to raise so many cattle at the beginning, according to the original plan, in more than a year, there will be forty or fifty cattle dogs in the pasture, who knows that so many cattle will be added at once. Do you want your buddies to go to China to get dogs? Think about it, forget it, the dog will play an alarm, and then people can be smart, and seven or eight wolves will make buddies so nervous.

Then Ju An said to Thomas: "In the afternoon, we will also go to buy some turkey or something, tomorrow night, everyone in the ranch, no one will share a small turkey for the holiday, and there is anything to eat on Thanksgiving, when the time comes, you make a list, and I will go to the town to buy it in the afternoon."

Thomas thought for a moment and said, "It's turkey, pumpkin pie, whatever, you can ask the clerk when the time comes, and the main ones are two, turkey and ham." By the way, when you buy a turkey, you must buy bread crumbs, which are filled in the belly of the turkey, remember to buy honey, and buy two larger turkeys, and when the time comes, one will be sent to the east for them to roast themselves, and we will just roast one here."

Juan nodded, and then the two of them said Thomas again and got up to leave. Leaving Ju An on a paper to make a list, thinking about what to buy in the afternoon.
