Chapter 240: Helm Avalanche

Helm Ranch is also part of Montana, and the reason why it takes an hour to drive from the ranch is because of its remote location.

Helm Ranch, located next to the Rocky Mountains and partly halfway up the mountain, is mainly engaged in cattle and sheep breeding, and now there are more than 10,000 cattle and sheep combined.

Another important income for it is cattle breeding, and their breeding cattle are very famous in several nearby towns!

It's just a little strange that as a long-established commercial cattle farm, although the ranch is not large, there are also professional ranch facilities, and it stands to reason that such a large amount of snow is not enough to collapse the professionally designed cattle shed.

Although the snow on the road is now more than half a meter deep, it is even more ferocious than the last blizzard!

Ryan couldn't tell the reason on the phone, he also heard an old friend say that it came too suddenly, and he hadn't figured out the situation yet. His original plan was to give Qin Yi a message first, and then find someone to inquire clearly.

Hanging up the phone, Qin Yi thought about it for a while and felt that this was an opportunity.

The cowshed collapsed in Helm Ranch, the loss is certainly not small, and many cattle and sheep are being frozen, but there is no way to settle Helm Ranch, there are only two ways in front of you: find a buyer to receive, or watch the cattle and sheep freeze to death!

But now such weather, coupled with the two snows before and after, makes the snow on the road more than one meter deep, not to mention that there will be no buyers at all for a while and a half, even if you can find it, you can't catch up in a short time, cattle and sheep in such ice and snow, but it can't last long!

The nearest ranch that can eat nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep in Helm Ranch is Qin Yi's Sun River Ranch, so if Qin Yi is willing, he can definitely buy these cattle and sheep at a low price.

Of course, this is not a robbery while the fire is hot.

After all, in such weather, they are willing to take over the cattle and sheep. It alleviates their losses in itself, and Qin Yi has to risk the cattle and sheep getting sick or even freezing to death to transport the cattle and sheep back to the pasture, if the price is not reduced, who is stupid enough to take the risk to help them tide over the difficulties!

Therefore, if Qin Yi is willing to accept it at a low price. For Helm Ranch, this is the best result.

I just don't know how much damage the cowshed collapsed this time caused.

Without further thought, he dialed Marcus's phone, "Marcus, I'm Yi." Do you know about the Helm Ranch? ”

"Yes, I know! It's a pity, the loss of old Nord is not small, and now it is roughly estimated that a few hundred cows are over! Marcus sighed with some regret. It's not just Old Nord that's going to be lost, it's the entire Augusta ranch farming industry that's going to take a hit.

Of course, the biggest loss was still the old Nord, the owner of the Helm ranch.

"How so? This kind of snow disaster is more serious for the cabin, but it is not enough to collapse the cowshed! Qin Yi was puzzled by this.

"Oh, that's right, Yi, old Nord called me as soon as possible. It is said to be an avalanche, and it may be too windy. It may also be the shaking caused by the migration of animals in the mountains, but the specific cause has not yet been clarified. ”

Marcus explained roughly, and then sent out another invitation: "Yi, I'm in contact to help out at Helm Ranch, are you going?" ”

"Of course! I called Ryan here, and we drove straight over. ”

This one has to go. Not only for the sake of the thoughts, but also for the responsibility of being the largest ranch in western Montana, if you don't help at this time, your reputation in the nearby town will definitely decline!

Hung up the phone. Qin Yi contacted Ryan again, asked him to bring the cowboys over, and then let the women and children stay at home, he took a group of people, a pair of tools, a snowplow and a large tractor, and drove in the direction of Helm.

Not to mention the snow plow, the large tractor is even more domineering, the wheels are more than two meters, the whole tractor is like a hill, not caring about the snow on the road more than one meter, running up and rampage, looking mighty and domineering!

This kind of thing, naturally, Ye Fang is indispensable, this guy likes to join in these excitement the most, and now the opportunity to run in the snow like this is unavoidable, wouldn't you regret it for a lifetime if you miss it.

Not to mention anything else, just this tractor that is the same as climbing the stairs, let alone sitting, he is the first time to see it, so he is very excited, he is looking east and west all the way, that curious appearance, and Angel has a fight!

"Your life is really colorful, let's not talk about hunting and fishing, don't mention the motorboat car, this big tractor alone makes people envious!"

Ye Fang sat in the carriage, tinkering here, fiddling there, and having fun.

"You said how cool it would be if this was on the streets of the capital!"

Qin Yi immediately laughed mercilessly: "It's cool!" We will arrest you in the game every minute, and we must resolutely stop this kind of bad behavior that destroys highways, obstructs traffic, and affects social harmony and stability! ”

"Why don't you have a little bit of humor!"

"I took a shower yesterday and washed it up!"

Ye Fang couldn't talk about him, so he decided to ignore him, and muttered to himself: "No wonder they say that people are the spirits of all things, and they can create such a big thing, and run suddenly, it's just easy to ward off all evils!" ”

Qin Yi felt that what he said was right, sitting on such a two-story tractor, no one could help but feel a little arrogant.

In this way, the tractor opened the way in front of them, and the snow plow followed behind to clear the snow and clear the way for Marcus and his team, along with a roar.

As the one who opened the way, the speed of Qin Yi and his party was not fast, and halfway through, Marcus had already followed with people.

In such road conditions, it took two hours to finally reach the Helm Ranch.

The rancher Old Nord received the news and hurried out to greet him, and the night of wind and snow made the already old rancher's face more tired.

Qiang smiled and said hello and welcomed everyone into the ranch.

On the way, the snow plough was handed over to the ranchers and cowboys who came to help, Ryan, Walker, Marcus, and Old Nord all got on Qin Yi's big tractor, and several people sat in the spacious cockpit to discuss countermeasures.

After listening to Old Nord's words, Qin Yi finally understood, because a valley on the mountainside of the Rocky Mountains belonged to Helm, where the grass was abundant, and in order to facilitate grazing, Helm's cowshed was built in the valley, so this sudden avalanche caused a lot of losses to Old Nord.

Now the losses have been roughly calculated, together with the cattle and sheep, Helm has lost more than 1,000 heads, and the remaining more than 10,000 cattle and sheep have been transferred to the grove below the mountain.

Soon came to the ranch, the cowboys helped to repair the cowshed, and Old Nord took Qin Yi and several other ranchers to check the situation of the cattle.

Along the way, the crowd didn't say much, because there was really no better attention now.

The only way out is to sell this batch of cattle and sheep, but in a few nearby towns, the only one who can eat more than 10,000 cattle and sheep is Qin Yi!

Everyone understands this, so they don't speak, at this time, what to do depends on Qin Yi's meaning.

Old Nord naturally knew very well, and he also hoped that Qin Yi could take over, but this was not a small deal, how could he decide casually!

What he can do now is to receive Qin Yi and the others wholeheartedly, and then when Qin Yi really plans to take over, he will quote a price that everyone is satisfied with.

That's what he's looking forward to.

Qin Yi knew what everyone was thinking, and everyone knew what was going on!

But he was not in a hurry to make a statement, and he had to look at the cow first.

All the way to the grove, the cattle and sheep gathered in a group, are leaning together to keep warm, the cowboys also got them some hay, although in this ice and snow basically has no effect, but at this time, more or less do your part, you can't watch the cattle and sheep freeze to death!

Qin Yi observed, many cattle and sheep still had some horror in their eyes, it seemed that they were frightened in the avalanche, and some of them were blind, it seemed that if they continued like this, they were likely to get sick.

However, the cattle and sheep are all intact, and now that the road has been opened, if you are fed some forage and hot water, you can bring them back to the pasture.

So, Qin Yi looked at the expectant old rancher on the side: "Old Nord, you can make a price, if everyone is satisfied, I will want all these calves!" (To be continued......)
