Weida is now thinking about the helicopter, the current ranch is indeed relatively large, whether it is at least or driving to quickly complete the ranch is not very realistic. It is great to have a private helicopter, although it is not possible to control the situation of the ranch all the time, but it is also able to deal with emergencies in the best possible time.

Wei Da now has no more than two million dollars of spare money in his hand, and now this money is a lot, but if he really spends it, he can't help but spend it. Weida is one thing to develop financial resources, but it cannot be bottomless consumption. Now the patents and feed have been sold, and Wei Da does not plan to continue to sell patents and the like, although there seems to be some technology in the "Shennong Sutra" that can be sold for money, but it is really a bit of a tyrannical thing for Wei Da.

Weida plans to buy a single-engine private helicopter, which usually describes the number of engines in the aircraft. Although the single-engine helicopter is a little smaller, it is relatively cheap, and it is also easy to use for a rookie like Weida.

In many ranches in the United States, some cowboys can fly airplanes, at least helicopters, but unfortunately there are no cowboys who can fly helicopters here in Weida. Wei Da planned to sign up for a helicopter pilot training class, and of course little Simon also went with him at this time; Weida needs to have cowboys on his ranch who can fly helicopters, otherwise it would be unreasonable for him, the rancher, to be the pilot of the helicopter when something happens.

Weida chose the Lovt EXEC162F, which is now the world's most popular small helicopter that can be assembled by individuals; Maintenance is simple, and it is also relatively fuel-efficient.

In Dallas, there is a helicopter driving training school, which costs 50,000 US dollars, which is rich and easy to do. Although Simon Jr. is public funds, Wei Da took out 20,000 US dollars, which also means that Simon Jr. learned to drive step by step.

Wei Da felt that his progress was still very good, and he needed more experience and his actual operation to master some necessary basic knowledge; Although the simulation driving and theoretical knowledge are relatively rich, Wei Da is still more looking forward to being able to fly in a helicopter.

The accident risk of the Rotway 162F is also very low, and it can be regarded as the best junior student aircraft, from the outside, it is sturdy, rugged and practical; Entering the cockpit, the cockpit is spacious, the seats are comfortable, the weight and loading are not a problem, the maneuvering is convenient, and the view is wide. Really sitting in the cockpit, Weida still feels very good; It's just that now Wei Da can't drive the plane independently, looking at the complex dashboard, Wei Da also put on headphones and other equipment, sat on the co-pilot and watched the coach's operation.

The mood is still very good, Weida is running more to Dallas during this time, and he is constantly learning to fly a helicopter; It's just that Wei Da will not let go of the things in the pasture, give feed to the livestock, study the growth of those newly planted pastures, and also include the training of the five unique dogs, which Wei Da is also constantly doing.

In short, Weida seems to be relatively idle now, but there are still more things to do; Although there are a few things that need to be dealt with here all day now, Wei Dana may still need to take the idea. But Wei Da still enjoys his current life very much, very leisurely and fulfilling, maybe looking back on it, he doesn't seem to have done too much, but these little things also make Wei Da's life not so boring.

"Wei, we need to store some pasture, it's winter soon, and we need to prepare some hay." Old Simon appeared again, and this time he also reminded Wei Da to say.

"Well, go get ready to harvest some grass, I know that's how it should be as a rancher." Wei Da smiled, storing pasture is definitely needed, although the winter here in Texas is not particularly cold, but the grass will definitely not be able to grow; Moreover, Weida's current cattle and sheep are also growing up, and their appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and pasture grass certainly needs to be prepared.

In the early stage, there was a perfect irrigation system in the 1,300 acres of pasture, which naturally represented fresh and high-quality pastures; Unfortunately, these grasses now need more time to grow, and they cannot be harvested yet. However, although the ranch he bought later did not have an irrigation system, and the quality of the forage was very average, Wei Da believed that the forage was basically enough for his own needs temporarily.

When the cattle and sheep have survived the winter, they will soon enter the spring of rapid growth, and at that time Wei Da believes that the pasture in the pasture will become more of higher quality, and at that time he will be able to prepare to breed real high-quality cattle and sheep.

"Wei, we may also need to castrate some bulls and sheep, except for those strong bulls as breeding cattle, we need to make sure that the other bulls are responsible for growing meat." Old Simon's words made Wei Da snort.

'Castration', this is the legendary knife of cutting off children and grandchildren, but this is also normal, now the growth of those cattle and sheep in the pasture is still very good, in such a pasture many bulls are fate is to grow meat, and then be taken into the slaughterhouse, they do not have so many qualifications and rights to ask for mates and the like. And once you get into heat, it's not a good thing to have too many bulls competing for mates; Therefore, the existence of some eunuch cattle is also very necessary.

"Old Simon, I know that castration of cattle and sheep makes them easier to manage, but once castrated, they grow very slowly, which is not a good thing for me." Wei Da is also weighing the pros and cons, and now he really needs to make an idea.

Old Simon shrugged his shoulders, he was a cowboy and could give Weida advice, but it was definitely Weida, the rancher, who made the final decision. Strict cattle and sheep make the management more convenient, but once the cattle and sheep are castrated, the growth rate will also become slow, which is also a reality, and castration will also affect the meat quality for some cattle and sheep.

"I think it's better to wait, it's better not to castrate now, I need them to grow faster. If it's really estrus, maybe I'm going to need to keep it in groups, which might make your task easier. Simon, Sr., you see, I'm a rancher, and I want my ranch to be more profitable. Wei Da still made his decision, shrugged his shoulders and explained to Simon Sr.

"Wei, I can understand that the ranchers want the cattle and sheep to grow faster, the bull to gain the fastest weight, the steer is second, and the cow is the slowest, and everyone understands these truths." Old Simon is very calm, of course, he also knows the reason why Wei Da does not want to castrate cattle and sheep, in fact, many ranchers nowadays do not want castration when fattening cattle, at least they do not want to castrate too early, which will only damage the interests of the rancher.

Anyway, life has to go on; Although there are also such differences of opinion with old Simon, this will not affect the cooperative relationship between the two people, such things can understand each other's thoughts very well, no one is right or wrong, but the perspective of the role is different. Now that Weida has taken the idea, what old Simon needs is execution.

It is indeed time to harvest and store the pasture, but this matter will not be dealt with in a moment; Weida also needs the current staff in the pasture to focus more on the harvesting of forage, including the need to do some preparations.

For example, the inspection and maintenance of lawn mowers, including the inspection of tractor equipment, can better harvest forage grass after preparation. Fortunately, there are tractors and lawn mowers in Weida's pastures, and they don't have any problems now.
