"Josh, maybe you know by now that I've become a rancher, maybe you can give me some advice." Wei Da bought the ranch, and when he showed it off, he also had some experience from the 'seniors', although he did have some magical skills, but to be honest, Wei Da didn't know anything about the operation of the ranch and so on.

"Wei, you need cowboys, you need professional and experienced cowboys. I might be able to recommend two nice cowboys who can help you. Of course, Josh also knew that Weida had now purchased a ranch, and it was at this time that he enthusiastically recommended the more famous cowboys to Weida.

Wei Da is definitely not a person who can't listen to persuasion, even if he has divine ability now, he is also very honest to listen to the opinions of professionals; The weather is so dry and the pasture is so small that you can't raise too many cattle, which will only destroy the potential of the ranch.

In traditional ranches, experienced cowboys are needed many times, and Simon Sr. and his son are both cowboys, and Simon Sr.'s weekly salary has reached nearly 400 US dollars, that is, the monthly salary is close to 1,500 US dollars; And Simon Jr. earns three hundred a week, because he is not experienced enough. Of course, two people can't take care of the ranch, plus a more reliable Tim introduced by Simon Sr., three cowboys are completely enough.

So at the suggestion of old Simon's father and son, a hundred cows and three hundred sheep was a very reasonable choice; Moreover, the current cattle and sheep are all cubs, and the amount of food is relatively small, so it can also ensure that the pasture grass in their own pastures can be supplied. This is no joke, many ranchers are simply dragged down by the fodder.

In Texas, the density of cattle is also particular; The density of one cow in ten acres is normal, and it is also normal for one cow in five acres of high-quality pasture. Weida's pasture is still relatively average, and a hundred cows and three hundred sheep have reached a limit. This is based on the assurances of such a good feed expert as Weida, otherwise Simon Sr. would advise the rancher to be more conservative. This is the first time that the rancher Wei Da has run a ranch, and it is the best choice to carefully take every step and accumulate experience.

The cowboys are in place, and the ranch is also in old Simon's to see that some necessary equipment is constantly added, and the next thing is to buy cattle and sheep. Weida will definitely choose beef sheep and beef cattle to eat by himself, also because these are economically valuable.

A hundred cows, three hundred sheep, although they are cubs, but this is not cheap, Wei Da is also ready to pay for it; And the newly bought ranch still has a lot to prepare, pickups, trailers, tractors are definitely needed. And now to raise livestock, fences, cattle pens, etc. must also be prepared. Wei Da actually wanted to buy an irrigation system, but it was clear that he didn't have the financial resources right now. When there is enough rain, there is no pressure to have abundant pastures, and when the season is too dry, it is not good news.

Beef sheep were naturally Weida's choice, and Brahmin cattle and Boer goats should be the main choices for Texas ranches; But Weida doesn't seem to be like this, he chose Angus cattle, you know, although Angus cattle are the absolute mainstream among beef cattle, but in the weather like Texas, the cold-resistant Angus cattle are useless, and they are relatively delicate to feed.

"Old Simon, believe me, you may know that I am an excellent animal nutritionist, and my expertise allows me to guarantee the healthy growth of these calves. You don't have to worry about anything at all, I was able to prepare the best feed for them. Old Simon was furious, very dissatisfied with the new owner, and even wanted to quit directly; But under the continuous appeasement of Weida, Simon Sr. chose to believe Weida.

Old Simon is an old cowboy, and his temper is relatively hot and direct; If it weren't for the persuasion of his son Simon Jr., and the fact that he had heard some things about Weida, he would certainly not have worked under a rancher who 'didn't know anything'.

"Old Simon, now that our cattle are still small, the pasture is fully supplied. And old Simon, I'm going to start slowly growing more brilliant fresh, high-quality pastures. So you and little Simon's task is simple, take care of these guys. Wei Da saw that old Simon didn't say anything more, and this was the kind of cattle that he had purchased.

And a great sum of money went out, a hundred calves and three hundred sheep, all of them meat sheep and beef cattle; As for these cubs, although they are not expensive, they add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the choice of calves and calves, male and female have a certain proportion, but these Wei Da don't care very much, and the conscientious old Simon can make a good choice.

Wei Da followed behind old Simon curiously, buying cattle breeds is not a simple matter, there may be some news of buying and selling channels in the newspapers, but it is more important to look at the auction market to study; Watching the cattle being introduced into the exhibition area, the age, gender, color, and breed can be seen very quickly; Mobility and health are important to be paid attention to.

The breed of cattle and sheep has also been chosen, and what is needed now is to wait until these cattle and sheep are transported back to the pasture; Weida didn't need to care about any of this at all, registering these things was done with the help of old Simon, and his main task now was to pay for it. And even though the auction is complete, it takes a little time to ship; Being anxious is just making yourself uncomfortable, so there is no need to wronged yourself.

"Wei, good job!" Simon Sr. is still basically satisfied with this new employer, although he is a little unhappy about the choice of cattle breeds, but most of the time Weida still trusts Simon Sr. as a professional, which also makes Simon Sr. more motivated.

"Old Simon, it's so tiring to run a ranch!" Wei Da is not joking, the ranch has been in hand for less than a month, but these days Wei Da is basically like a motor and can't stop at all, there are really too many things to deal with, "By the way, when will these cattle be sent back to the pasture?" ”

"Three days, I gave them three days. Wei, don't worry. Maybe our opportunity has also come, when these cattle and sheep are bigger, maybe the weather will not be so hot, and we will be able to relax. Old Simon shrugged his shoulders, running a ranch is never easy, that's for sure.

"Well, in three days, I also need to prepare delicious feed for these little cuties." Wei Da smiled, although the auction market is still relatively lively, but it is also very hot, Wei Da really wants to flash people now.

"Wei, we still need a few horses, although many cowboys have their own horses, Simon and I both have horses, and Tim also has his own horses, but the ranch also needs to prepare a few horses." Old Simon also reminded Wei Da at this time.

Wei Da was stunned, he really hadn't thought of these things in the past few days; He basically just runs around in his pickup truck, and there are no cattle and sheep on the ranch now, so there is no need for horses at all. And now, the cattle and sheep are in place, then, of course, the horses need to be prepared.

"Well, it's a great choice, I'm tempted. Old Simon, you sweet old fellow, I believe in your abilities, you will help me choose the best horses, I believe you can do it! Wei Da was excited, although the car is the favorite of many men, but the horse and whip are also exciting; In the past, Wei Da could only envy, but now that he has his own pasture, then he must be able to choose a good horse.

Old Simon also laughed, the cooperation with Weida during this period of time was basically relatively pleasant, and now he has an unusually strong enthusiasm for buying horses, which also makes this new employer seem more real and easy to get along with, which is also a new understanding of Weida for more than half a month.

"Wei, I'll help you, if you don't know how to ride, I'll teach you the best riding skills. I'm a western cowboy, and I can teach you a lot of great things. However, choosing a horse is a very important thing, and it will be your most loyal companion. Old Simon was also babbling about horses, not only horses, but also saddles, pedals, bridles, etc., it is not so simple and beautiful to ride a horse, and it really takes a lot of effort to ride a horse.
