The time soon came to the end of August, and since then, Angel's farm tourism has been on the right track.

Since Fang Yue brought the first batch of tourists, every 8 or 9 days, a group of tourists came, very stable, and the number is still slowly increasing, the first batch of more than 20 people, to the third batch of more than 30 people.

Fortunately, there were enough accommodation houses built at the beginning, and now the farm has not reached the maximum reception capacity, so there is nothing to worry about.

Each group of tourists visits for 7 or 8 days, the farm is repaired for 1 to 2 days, and then the next group of tourists is received, and three groups of tourists can be received each month. Yesterday, the third group of visitors had just been sent off, and Hobbs was already preparing for the arrival of the fourth group of visitors.

Small farm tourism is popular, and the cowboys who are responsible for reception and tour guides are also full of energy, because some tourists follow the local customs, and when the cowboys help with luggage and introduce attractions, they will also give some tips, and the general cowboys can also have dozens of dollars in tips a day, so that they are equivalent to taking double salaries, making a few cowboys happy.

After dinner this morning, Susa went to Angel's farm to check the accounts, and Angel and Betsy didn't know where to run, but with McGee and Black Rice Wheat with them, there was nothing to worry about.

Recently, Qin Yi was thinking about expanding the herd.

Needless to say, alfalfa grass has already been improved, and now the grass is abundant, not only growing a lot more than other places, but also more nutritious, these grasses alone can provide the nutrition needed by cattle, without supplementing concentrate feed, saving a lot of costs.

Ryan has made a comparison, and now the weekly weight increase of beef cattle has increased by more than half compared with the same period in previous years, but the quality of the meat will not be known until the cattle can be slaughtered.

Qin Yi is not worried about the meat quality at all, if the meat quality of the beef cattle fed by such high-quality pasture is poor, then he will not raise cattle in the future, and the pasture will be changed to vegetable land!

It has been a month since the rye grass was last harvested, and after tillering, the grass is even more abundant, and at a glance, the dark green grass with a strong vitality has swept the whole rye area.

Now there are less than 6,000 beef cattle in the pasture, according to Qin Yi's estimate, his 124,000 acres of pasture, with super pasture, raising 7 or 80,000 head of cattle, is absolutely no problem, thinking of this number, Qin Yi can't help but pat his thigh, 7, 80,000 heads, the difference is too big!

But it's not okay not to buy it, such a large ranch, you can harvest a lot of grass every month, but the current pasture is not famous, it will definitely not be sold at a price, and it will be a big loss if you don't raise cattle.

The renovation and construction of the irrigation system in the rye area cost 8 million US dollars, and some other odd and bits of expenses, I now have 40 million US dollars left in my hands, and I don't know if it is enough to buy so many cattle.

However, this plan to expand the herd must be implemented, and if it is a big deal, you will take out a loan, and you will have a stable ranch for yourself, and you will not be afraid of debts!

Qin Yi called Ryan and Hobbs and asked them to come over and discuss together, these old cowboys can help him a lot.

Now Ryan is usually in the office of the worker's house, grazing or something, and he doesn't need to do it as a ranch supervisor, as long as he schedules the personnel allocation, arranges the grazing and pasture harvesting work.

Hobbes is now in charge of the tourism work of Angel's Farm, and Qin Yi and Susa usually don't ask questions, from receiving tourists to arranging entertainment, he arranges everything by himself. However, this old cowboy is very responsible, and he will say hello to Qin Yi if he needs to purchase anything or add facilities.

In fact, there was no need to call Hobbs to come over this time, after all, the projects in charge were different, but Qin Yi considered that he had also been a cowboy all his life, and he always had some unique opinions, and it happened that there were no tourists today, so he could listen to his opinion.

Ryan arrived in a few minutes, Qin Yi sat down with him and chatted casually for a few minutes, Susa also returned, and Hobbes followed for a ride.

Susa had already learned from Hobbes that Qin Yi had something to talk about, and when he got home, he put the small bag down and went to make coffee, from an elite in the workplace to a housewife, looking at this scene, Hobbs winked at Ryan, and the two tacitly agreed.

In their hearts, Susa was already the mistress of the ranch, but she was just short of a name. They are happy to see this happen, but of course they can't interfere. But Susa is really satisfying, not to mention beautiful, kind to people, and familiar with ranch work, can help Qin Yi manage the ranch accounts, and can cook at home, it is simply almighty!

The only regret may be that failed marriage, but fortunately, Qin Yi likes Angel very much! In fact, nothing is perfect in life, as long as you are happy together, what to do so much!

Ryan and Hobbs looked at each other again, looked into each other's eyes, smiled, knowing that the two of them thought of going together, they shrugged their shoulders tacitly, and they both realized that they thought a little too much, and this matter still depends on Yi and Susa themselves, and no one else really cares.

However, at the moment, it seems to be moving in a good direction.

Qin Yi looked at their expressions a little strangely, he didn't know what they were expressing, he thought about it, thought it was the unique tacit understanding of their old friend for many years, and stopped paying attention.

The coffee was brewed by Qin Yi when Ryan arrived, and at this time, Susa poured a cup for Hobbs, filled it for Ryan and Qin Yi, and wanted to go upstairs.

Qin Yi hurriedly called out to her, "Susa, come and sit, we have to discuss some ranch matters, it is more important, you need to know." ”

Susa was stunned, the important thing about the ranch? What do I need to know?

Her heart beat a little faster, but then she thought that she was the treasurer of the ranch, and quickly hinted that she shouldn't think about it, and then poured herself a cup of coffee, and walked over to sit next to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, so he said directly: "That's the case, now that the ranch is on the right track, I think it's time to expand the herd of cattle in the ranch, and I just want to ask you for your opinion." ”

After all, Ryan has been managing the pasture for the longest time, and he understands it more clearly, so at this time, he naturally said first: "Now that the pasture is abundant, the impact of the drought cannot be seen at all, and it is normal to expand the herd, otherwise so much pasture and space will be wasted." ”

"Well, the price of calves is lower now, and if there is a supply of forage for winter, it is best to buy calves now." Hobbes stroked his beard and gave his opinion.

"Yi, how many heads do you want to expand the herd?" Ryan asked specific questions.

"I think it's okay for us to raise 7 or 80,000 cattle on the ranch, right?" Qin Yi said what he thought.

"Of course you can, with the current pasture, it is easy to raise so much! But, Yi, do you want to buy so many cows directly? That's a lot of investment! Ryan was a little shocked, although these cattle will grow up and be sold, at least they will not lose money, but it still takes a lot of courage to buy so many cattle at once.

But then I thought about it, Yike bought hundreds of millions of dollars of ranch! Well, well, the most important thing that Yi lacks is courage.

If Qin Yi knew Ryan's idea, he would definitely scoff, his brother has the courage of Mao, if it weren't for the fact that there were a bunch of good things in the Lingquan space, his brother would never dare to do this!

Qin Yi frowned, touching his chin and thinking about how many cattle to buy.

Hobbs spoke at this time: "Yi, I don't think it's necessary to buy 7 or 80,000 heads at once, not to mention the high investment, the risk is still great, and it is not easy to find so many cowboys." It's better to buy 50,000 heads and buy as many cows as possible, so that next year, the cows will give birth to calves, and within two years, the number of cattle in the pasture will reach 80,000. ”
