"Da, are you here to inspect the ranch with the future rancher?" Seeing that Wei Da took Xiao Li to the ranch, Old Fox said with a smile and a joke.

"I'm not sure, maybe he doesn't like running a ranch. The little one loves to ride a horse and that's it. I think there's a lot of uncertainty about his future, he likes a lot of things, but everything seems to be a career out of his mind. Of course, he's still young, and I can't guarantee anything. Looking at his baby son who had just jumped off the horse and was running to find the cute dogs to play games, Wei Da said with a smile.

"Maybe so, I think Ryan may be a lot like you, he needs a professional manager to take care of his business, and he's traveling around." Old Fox looked at it very much, and also felt that this scene seemed to be very familiar, because Wei Da did this way, "This is not bad, young people nowadays rarely like to live in the country." ”

Wei Dahaha laughed, so it was; Xiao Li is very similar to himself, and he has too many things that he is interested in, but if he has always tied himself to one thing, who will definitely feel unwilling. There are so many broad interests that sometimes it's a frustration because you just want to try everything.

As for Xiaoxin, the child, since he got the toy of the children's basketball hoop, the little guy's game for a long time every day is to take this little basketball hoop and run around; In his room, in the living room, on the lawn outside the house, anyway, as long as he thought about it, he would ask the adults to help him carry the basketball hoop, and then he began to play dunk, shoot basketballs and so on with his little basketball. The little guy still likes sports, especially now that he likes to play basketball.

As for Xiaoyou, Wei Da felt that this little girl had her own aesthetics too early; This may also be because there have been too many Barbie dolls since she was a child. Taking care of Barbie dolls every day, changing their clothes, combing their braids, etc., is the little girl's job, and she seems to enjoy it, although she sometimes has a naughty energy that does not belong to her brothers.

"Dad, Hercules is there. I saw it, but it ignored me! "Xiao Li, who ran a lap, came back to complain, and the little guy found the Hercules King, but he felt very depressed that the Hercules King ignored him; So at this time, you need to find your father. Dad could let him go and fight Hercules.

"Hercules is angry with you, and you will bully him every time." Of course, Wei Da, the little bully at home, also knows very well, and usually bullying the children in the family is bullying them under the leadership of Xiaoli.

"Nope. The first two days were just because they were so naughty, so I fought with them. I can make sure I didn't bully them, and I gave them a lot of food, and I fed them all the chocolate. "For the Hercules King and the Great Sage of Peace, who usually don't go home often. The children are always very warmly welcomed; It's just that these excessive enthusiasm sometimes make Hercules and them distressed. For example, if you let a bison eat chocolate or candy or something, it's really not something that makes people happy.

Wei Da smiled and explained to the little guy that Hercules didn't like chocolate, and he didn't like the cream; But the little one is puzzled, everybody likes chocolate, look at the younger brother and sister, and the big guys, they all like those delicious chocolates. And now the Great Sage of Pingtian doesn't like it, which also makes the little guy feel incredible.

With the mischievous little guy on the ranch. Actually, it's not about cultivating the little guy's feelings for the ranch or anything like that; Weida is confident that children will love it. Because this is their home. As far as Xiao Li is concerned, the little guy actually doesn't like to be restrained, he likes to run around, especially horseback riding, obviously riding a horse in the pasture is the best, this is the real fun of horseback riding.

"Now that there are a batch of calves to put on the fire seal, it might be a good game and it will be fun for Ryan." Old Fox reminded that it was quite fun for curious children to mark their calves with fire.

The fire mark is actually a brand, and a red-hot patterned soldering iron is applied to the body of the ox; Often, each ranch has its own special imprint of fire, like Weida's farm, which is a simplified version of the dragon, although many people think that it looks like a snake. But it can't be helped, you can't make it that delicate, so it's normal to look like a snake.

The fire seal is important for the ranch, and this is the sign of the ranch's property.

Cattle theft is a felony in the United States, if you find a cow with another family's fire mark on your own pasture; Either the calves are lost or bought, and often the fire marks of these bought calves are also marked by sale, which is very recognizable. And those cattle that come in vain, it is difficult to cheat, because you don't have the fire mark of someone else's pasture.

For example, the cattle of the Wei Da family, although they have the mark of a dragon; But bulls, cows, calves bought from elsewhere or cattle to be sold are all small differences in small details. And this is also a sign to prevent the theft of your own cattle, not only the markings on the ears of the cows and the health certificates, these fire marks are the most primitive but also the most effective proof.

If you want to steal cattle, it is definitely not a simple matter; Not only because Weida's farm has its own security supervisor and a large area, but also because some police officers and sheriffs in the United States are also in charge of these things. Generally, cattle need to be transported out, but when passing through the highway and the pipe card, the truck driver needs to show a fire seal certificate and so on, and need to prove the identity of the cattle, and those cattle without a clear identity are basically impossible to be transported out.

In the United States, there are many crimes of stealing cattle, and it is normal to be sentenced to several years for stealing four or five cows; Cattle theft has always been a felony in the United States.

Although Weida's ranch is very good, for many small ranchers, every cow is a valuable asset, and it is all they can earn after a year's hard work. Many low-grade cattle, in fact, a cow really can't make much money; And lost a cow. This is enough to take a big hit on some small ranchers.

Now it's time to put a fire mark on those little calves in his house, although this scene Wei Da is very familiar, but for Xiao Li has never seen it. It's a nice opportunity. Let the little guy gain a little more knowledge, in fact, to be honest, the fire mark is actually quite interesting.

Wei Da led the little one to the side, and the calves that needed to be marked with fire were already herded into the fence. Only about 20 cows now need to be firemarked, not too much and not too little, and every time a new calf is born for a period of time, it will be marked with a fire mark in the time of growing up for a knife or two.

The first calf was driven out of the small passage of the enclosure, and at the end of the passage was a small cage; The calf burrowed into this little cage at once. Only the big head was left exposed. And such a small cage is basically like a splint, which can also be rolled over; So although the calf was a little panicked, it was still put down like a sandwich biscuit caught in an iron plate.

A red-hot soldering iron was pressed against the calf's buttocks. That's where cowboy experience comes in; The yellow eyes that came out showed that it was still only pressed on the hair of the calf, and such a fire mark would not last long. But when black smoke comes out, it means that the fire mark will stay with the calf for the rest of its life.

In the entire ranch, the only cattle that really did not have the fire mark were the two American bison, the Hercules King and the Pingtian Great Sage; They are powerful. It's also because Wei Da doesn't need to brand them or something. These two guys are really doing a good job. Although they are the best in the pasture, they are also very good for the cowboys in managing the herd.

As for saying that someone wants to steal the Hercules King and the Great Sage, then to be honest, this is really incredible; These two guys are so powerful and powerful, there is no way that anyone will be able to steal them. And now, Wei Da also knows that there is really no need to worry about the safety of the ranch now, because Wei Da has too many measures, and it is very safe here.

It's obvious. Weyda's ranch does make a lot of people have some ideas; The highest quality cattle are produced here, and the best pasture is here. Indeed, it may make some people think that if they steal some of the cattle here, they will definitely make a lot of money. But it was too difficult to avoid the eyes of the security guards, and because Abilene was so small, it was almost impossible to get the cattle out of the most famous and wealthy family in the town of Weida.

I have to admit that many times the United States is working out better services for the rich; It's clear that Weida is the star of the town, Abiline's superstar. Because he was the richest man in town, because he had a racehorse that, though retired, was still of great fame; So here, he is a star, and no one wants to snatch the property that belongs to this rich man, because they know that although this rich man is very friendly and easy to get along with, these guys know that the energy of these rich people is very strong, and they don't want to pay a heavy price.

Just like now, in fact, the government is also very protective of Weida's property, or wants to maintain its position as a leader in the industry.

Weida has bred the top cattle, which of course needs everyone's support; Therefore, the taxation of Weida's current ranch is somewhat convenient, and it is obvious that this is one of the things that promotes the development of the ranch. As for the Japanese wagyu beef, although it still occupies the name of the world's No. 1 beef, they are already feeling the pressure, because the 'weida beef' is now becoming more and more famous and recognized by more and more people.

Although it is not always possible to bring a large number of top-quality beef to the market, this is something that the Japanese seem to be relatively lucky now; But it's definitely not much better, because now the number of these top herds is constantly expanding, and the annual meat production is actually increasing. The end of Japanese Wagyu is really not far away.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has defined these cattle as protected breeds and cannot be shipped out of the United States; That is to say, as long as it is a living 'Weida's cow', it is no longer even possible for Weida to take it wherever he wants, which is also a policy of the US government, and what they need is to occupy a higher end of the market.

So now, although Weida will release a batch of cattle from time to time, the number is very small; Basically, the cattle that leave the ranch go to the slaughterhouse, and only a small number of them are shipped to Montana. As for the calves or cows for sale, there are also them, and the pitiful price is also frighteningly expensive. Wei Dacai is not worried, because he has the best pasture, and this is the key!

"Daddy, don't they hurt?" Xiao Li was a little worried, and he thought it was funny to watch these cute calves being put down like sandwich biscuits; But when the fire mark is imprinted, it has to be injected, which makes the little guy feel very worried.

"It's their ID card, you see they don't cry or scream, so it doesn't hurt. They're powerful, and they're just as bad as the big guys. As for injections, the same as you; We need to make sure they don't get sick, so we need to get some vaccinations. So you don't have to be afraid of injections, that's so as not to get sick. Wei Da was a little funny, Xiao Li, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, actually couldn't stand it when he saw the injection, that was what he was most afraid of, even more afraid of these than his sister, he would cry, even in front of his sister.

"Okay then." Xiao Li nodded his head in understanding, the big guys are very powerful, they are never afraid of pain when they fall, and they often hit big trees and the like, they are all better than Xiao Li; As for the injection, Xiao Li still felt unacceptable, it was terrible, "I don't like injections, can I not get injections." If the next time I see Dr. Jones coming, I'll run away with the White Rabbit! ”

"So where are you going? If you run away, you won't be able to see your father and mother, and you won't be able to see your grandparents and younger siblings. I know the big guy and Pooh will run away with you, but there are the lovely princes. "Weida teased the little guy, this innocent little guy is funny.

"I'm going to find Hercules, I can also go to Mama Bear, Mama Bear likes me the most, it won't see anyone bullying me. I also hid in the garage and under my father's bed, and my brother and sister couldn't find me! Xiao Li became proud, it was his favorite place to go when he was playing hide and seek, and he was never discovered by his brother and sister!

Wei Da was speechless, this little guy is really 'no future', and he will leak his hiding place for a while! (To be continued......)
