Chapter 200: Dressage?
Juan dragged over dinner with a few little ones, and then gave Lawrence a phone call and informed Thomas along the way. Let the two of them come over and discuss the matter of the animal husbandry professor.
By the time the two of them finished their work, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the three of them were drinking hot coffee around the sofa. Lawrence touched Jinbao's little head and said to Ju'an: "Now the two little mountain lions are not small, you can try to train and graze."
Ju An shook his head: "These two little things are thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and they also train grazing to see enough for me!" ”。
"Small animals are naughty, and mountain lions can do a good job of guarding or grazing, not much worse than cattle dogs, and this guy has a good nose and ears, and is a little better at finding lost cattle," Thomas said with a smile.
He waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this question first, Dinah raises it in front of the two big cats, and often holds it in her arms and waits for her to hold it before thinking about training Hans and Jinbao" Ju An said to the two old men with a smile.
Then he paused and said, "There are two things to call you over this time, the first is that Thomas packed up the three cowboy dormitories and came out for Professor Leonard to live in temporarily. The second thing is that Leonard, the old guy, said that a professor at the University of Montana wanted to determine whether our gray cattle were a new breed, and that he was sure that they were a good breed and would stay at the ranch to help us train cattle, and that the expert had his own research funds, so I felt that this trap in the sky was a bit unreliable."
"The University of Montana? If the University of Montana is a professor of animal husbandry, the standard is good, and the University of Montana is also ranked among the top 100 universities in the United States. You don't have to worry about this, we have to make sure that the cattle in the pasture are in the pasture anyway, what tricks can he play, I think he can agree" Thomas nodded and said.
Lawrence smiled and said: "Ann, many of these sub-animal husbandry professors are worth a lot of money, and this research fund is nothing to them, and it is estimated that they are also guarding us from blind command, after all, if we provide funds, there will be requirements for research." They are free to choose their own research direction if they have their own research funds, but if they can get us a good new breed and a breeding center, we will benefit a lot, and the best thing is to save the money of veterinarians a few times a year."
This is not bad, Lao Mei has regulations here that several veterinarian examinations per year are essential, and these vampires are not much cheaper than the doctors who treat people, although the cattle in their pasture never get sick, but this money still can't be saved.
"That's fine! It seems that there are quite a lot of benefits for you to say this, and I am now a little looking forward to the professor coming over to save more money on the ranch," Ju An patted the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile.
Listening to Ju An's words, the two old cowboys also laughed. followed the two of them to take turns to tell Ju An about the business situation on their side. Because the cost of Ju'an's pasture is very low compared to other pastures, with vines and pastures, these two magic weapons, save money on water supply facilities and buy organic oats and corn or something, don't look at the small three, almost accounting for more than half of the cost of the ranch, the water supply is a lot of small thousands of acres of pasture is basically automatic irrigation, a button the whole ranch begins to sprinkle, if Ju'an such a large ranch is all this kind of water supply is estimated to be in the next tens of millions of to be able to stop, not to mention the maintenance after the construction, And if this pipeline is to be taken over, there will be some easement issues involved.
Since the cost has been greatly reduced a lot, only the money for labor remains. Ju An, the boss, is not stingy, although the ranch is not profitable, but the money is still very broad, so before Christmas, according to Thomas and Lawrence's evaluation of the cowboys, each of them has a small red envelope, Thomas Ju An gave more than 10,000 US dollars at most, and then Lawrence also gave more than 5,000, after all, Lawrence is much more than Thomas at night. Wynne and Andrew are also nearly eight thousand, and the rest of the various cowboys range, at least one month's salary.
In fact, these bonuses are trivial for Ju An, there are only more than 20 cowboys in total, and 10,000 per person is only more than 200,000, the key is that these money not only make the cowboys more attentive to their work but also buy a good reputation, a good reputation is a big drop of importance and a very cost-effective business for mixing here in the United States, in the words of the little devil.
Then Ju'an's reputation as a rancher began to spread on a small scale, and the only advantage was that it was much easier to recruit cowboys again, and now the ranch is a local cowboy in addition to the two Chilean cowboys with good skills, of course, the two strong and three are also counted as local cowboys, and the three of them are treated exactly the same as American cowboys here, and Juan can not do anything to squeeze his compatriots.
After chatting a little, Ju An saw that it was not too early to let the two old cowboys go back, and Thomas lived on the side with nothing. Lawrence had to ride a long horse. The black light is blind, or let this old man go back early.
If it is said that Lao Mei's efficiency is really not picky, Ju An and Thomas just discussed it, and the day after Professor Leonard moved into the ranch, the animal husbandry expert drove to the ranch.
After receiving Leonard's message, Juan took Thomas to the front of the ranch house to meet the professor, and watched as the two cars not far away slowly stopped in front of him. Then I saw a man in his forties get out of the car with a group of five or six young people.
At this time, Leonard led Juan forward and introduced: "This is the rancher An, this is my colleague I mentioned to you, Professor Norman, a professor of animal husbandry at the University of Montana."
Then Ju An walked forward and shook hands with Thomas with the young professor, Ju An then listened to Leonard's introduction, while looking at the professor carefully, he was one meter tall **, black curly hair and brown eyes, the blue stubble on the emaciated chin was very clean, a short coat with a light-colored checkered scarf around his neck, and the portrait was much better than Leonard.
After a pleasantry, Ju An said to the Norman professor, "Let's go into the room and have a cup of coffee."
Who knew that Professor Norman shook his head and smiled at Ju An and said, "Let's go see the cow first, Leonard described to me the weight as if it was an African bison, I want to see it with my own eyes."
When Ju An heard this, he led the professor and his group to the place where the horses were kept, and the two of them were grazing in the herd, and noticed a group of people coming, and when they looked up, they saw Ju An and his wife running behind the bean grass towards Ju An.
Waiting to run in front of Ju'an, Professor Norman directly ignored the bean grass that came to Ju'an's side. After taking a closer look at Da Niu and his wife Heifer, he turned to Ju An and said, "Good guy! It's really big, it seems that Leonard is not exaggerating, look at this look of more than 2,000 pounds."
Thomas next to Ju An nodded: "Two thousand one hundred and fifteen pounds, the cow next to him is one thousand eight hundred and forty pounds, I just weighed it two days ago, and the mature bull on the other side of the herd weighs about two thousand pounds, and the cow is also about one thousand eight hundred pounds."
Ju An heard that it was good, but according to the kilogram conversion, I am afraid that it is a really big cow of about a ton. Touching the bridge of the big cow's nose, the big cow closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed Ju'an's touch.
Professor Norman looked at the couple for a long time before turning to Ju An and saying, "It's a completely new breed of cattle, although I don't know what the meat quality is, but just looking at the size is a breakthrough."
Ju Anlen said: Now you can be sure that it is a new breed of cattle? Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, this guy relies on this to eat, can you not know, it is estimated that most of the world's outstanding cattle breeds This guy can talk about it for a few days, buddy thinking about this, why is it worrying.
"I'd like to take another look at your herd, it's this herd of cattle, I've heard Leonard say there are dozens," Professor Norman said to Juan.
Ju An looked at Thomas next to him, and Thomas nodded: "Then let's go and see the cows, it's a long way from here, everyone can ride horses, they can ride horses."
Seeing Norman and the group of assistants behind him nodding, everyone began to prepare the horses, looking at the skilled techniques of the group of people, but they are really engaged in animal husbandry, and they are very skilled. Leonard did not go with the herd, but saddled his own saddle and continued to study his pasture.
Ju An, of course, rode the bean grass, and stepped on the horse and ran side by side with Norman Professor Thomas, after running for a while. Only then did Norman pay attention to the bean grass under Ju'an's crotch: "First-class Friesian, but unfortunately the color is not good".
"If it's black, it's estimated that it will cost several times more to buy it," Ju An said with a smile as he grabbed the reins of the bean grass.
Norman looked at the bean grass: "Even such a form is rare in Friesland, with strong and powerful hooves, high and graceful legs, and firm eyes, it is an excellent horse, and you can try to participate in dressage, and this appearance alone can get a lot of impression points."
Thomas explained with a smile on the side: "This can't be done! He couldn't step on his horse except for Ann and Ann's girlfriend to ride, and as soon as he stepped on, he jumped so violently that even a good cowboy couldn't last a few seconds, and the cowboys in the ranch tried their skills a few times, and none of them lasted more than three seconds, and they jumped high and violently and threw people out."
Norman nodded after hearing this: "It's a pity, if you have a professional jockey, you can go to the race, and the price will immediately soar a lot after the results."
Ju An didn't think in his heart that even if the price reached 18 million US dollars, could he still be willing to let the bean grass out, the bean grass had become a part of his life, and it was not money that could measure his value. Just like every time Wang Fanlai is very envious that Ju An has a horse that is loyal to him, this is not a trivial matter related to face.
