Although the rancher was surprised, he still did not forget his business, he pointed to the Moray gray cattle that were constantly moving, and said with a smile: "You also saw just now, the quality of our cattle must be the upper class, if it weren't for my investment problems, I wouldn't have sold these cattle, as long as I raise them for a few more months, I can pick them up and sell." ”
"It's pretty good." Wang Hao nodded sincerely, what he did just now was not simply to show off, but to feel the vitality of the calves up close, and he found that the vitality of these cows was very active, and there were no sick seedlings or defective products.
"We're going to have the cowboys drive the cows to the trailer, and you can check at the door of the trailer to see which ones don't qualify, and you can pick out the ones that don't qualify. There are more than a thousand in total, and there is a choice. ”
The service has reached this point, how can Wang Hao refuse, it's a pity that he doesn't have much magic and can't last long, so he can only stand behind the trailer with Pete, and after a rough inspection, he will be released. It took five large trailers to fully load the 800 head of oxen, and as soon as Wang Hao paid, the carts would drive directly to the Golden Ranch, where Luna, Leonard, and Neil would take over.
After checking the price, Wang Hao wrote his check very happily, and this time spent hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars. The money from the sale of the paintings came and went quickly, and after buying the ranch, there were still more than seven million pounds.
Although there are many types of pastures, such as those that specialize in raising cattle, sheep, and horses, there are more mixed pastures and everything. This ranch covers an area of 120,000 acres, and all kinds of things are cultivated in it, so Wang Hao plans to buy the rest here.
After the first transaction, everyone became more relaxed, and the five hundred sheep were easily driven by the sheepdogs, obediently got into the car, and prepared to change homes.
"Then we'll go first, and we'll go to the horse farm to buy a few horses later, I'm not afraid of your jokes, there is only one horse in the ranch, and that horse was ridden by Pete himself." Wang Hao is in a really good mood, after solving these problems, the operation of the ranch is really on the right track, as long as he does his daily work.
Speaking of which, Wang Hao himself really doesn't know how to ride a horse, he used to just sit on horseback in some tourist attractions and take photos, and almost all of them just sat on it to feel it, and the horse didn't even move. Now that I'm in Australia, I have my own ranch, buy a few horses, and learn slowly.
"I know there's a medium-sized horse farm right in front of here, and if you want to buy a horse, go there, and drive more than 40 kilometers along the road. There are not many high-end horses there, but there are quite a few horses suitable for farming and pasture. If you don't want to train racehorses, you can buy regular horses. Qiao Sen kindly said that he admired Wang Hao's character and was able to mingle with the cowboys.
Today is a full four hours of time in the car alone, and if you count the time to go back later, it is estimated to be longer. If you hadn't put gas in the pickup in advance, it would have been possible to stop halfway.
"What breed of horses do you think there are here?" Wang Hao looked at the horses running in the wind on the horse farm, a little envious, he also raised a few horses in his own pasture, and it was the most comfortable thing to ride out to play.
The tall body, long neck, soft mane fluttering in the wind, flowing tail swaying lightly behind him, stopping from time to time to bow his head and eat grass, the horses are very free and happy.
"What breed of horse do you want?" We mainly deal in mid-range horses here, and the number of thoroughbreds is very small, I don't know if you mind? A very kind-looking old foreign man stood in front of the two of them and smiled, his hair was already down, and his body looked quite tough.
Wang Hao nodded and said: "The mid-range horses are almost enough, we mainly buy them for ranching, not for pure-blooded BMWs to go to the racetrack." Our ranch is dozens of kilometers away, and we want to find a few obedient horses to walk around. ”
"Call me Mike, you've come to my horse farm to find the right person. Not to mention anything else, the horses from the surrounding pastures and farms are all provided by us, and we have not traveled cuò for so many years. You don't need horses to pull carts or anything like that, do you? They are all light horses for riding, and I recommend Andalusian horses and Mongolian horses, both of which are quite suitable for farms. ”
Pete didn't say anything, the horse he rode was just an Arabian horse, all of them were universal, not for thoroughbred racing, and it usually felt quite good to ride. Although he is a cowboy, he has no say in the breed of horses, and can only be silent.
"Let's take a look at the Andalusian horse you mentioned! Can you find a few horses? Wang Hao had a hint of expectation on his face, this is probably his first time in contact with this normal horse. He didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the pure white horse, he was only surprised.
The well-developed Andalusian horse seems to have a well-balanced muscular distribution, its powerful neck is covered with a thick mane, its ears are very flexible, it moves from time to time, its eyes are staring straight ahead, and it looks proud and gentle, and it is very attractive. The muscles are plump, the proportions of the torso are very thin, the back is solid, the tail is attached to the buttocks, and the thick ponytail sweeps around from time to time.
Mike put his arms around its neck, pressed his face against the horse's face, and then stroked his hand on the back with an extremely gentle expression. He said softly: "This Andalusian horse is a branch of the Iberian horse, which is particularly famous in Spain and Portugal, very ancient, with a gentle temper and strong endurance, and a particularly beautiful appearance, so it is quite popular all over the world. ”
Wang Hao nodded, anyone would like Ma Ren, who has both strength and beauty. He nodded, and then tried to exude the natural aura of his body so as not to alarm it. Gently putting his hand on the horse's neck, feeling its affection and active vitality, Wang Hao turned his head to look at Pete and asked, "What do you think of this horse?" Can it be placed in the pasture? ”
Pete risked being kicked by the horse, patted it on the buttocks, looked at the legs again, and then nodded and said: "That is, it is used for riding, just about the same horse, Quarter what kind of thoroughbred horse is a money-burning trick played by rich people, let's just buy a few such horses." ”
"By the way, is this horse gelding? If you haven't been gelding, I'm afraid it won't be easy to discipline when you bring it back! Pete looked at Mike suspiciously, and then said, "Let's have a few mares and geldings, and the stallions won't be needed for now!" ”
The male horse that has not been geldings has a long estrus period, almost every 21 days to estrus, during the estrus temper, disobedience to discipline is difficult to manipulate, the gelding's temperament is very stable, docile, bold, without any distractions.
"No, no, I'd rather use a stallion, which will also bring some life to the ranch and let a few ponies come out. Geldings are not very natural and do not like it very much. ”
Wang Hao, the boss, has spoken, Pete has nothing to say, slowly close his mouth, anyway, it's just a few horses, it doesn't matter if the gelding is gelding or not, he has no problem himself, he has lived on horseback for half his life, are you still afraid that you won't be able to control it?
"Mike, how about giving me ten of these horses? How much does it cost? ”
Although there are only five people in the ranch, it would be nice to prepare more, and by the way, take turns to breed more ponies for the ranch. There were not even horses in the ranch, so Wang Hao decided to buy more, and he was ready to seriously learn the skill of horse riding!
Come and see the Great Juggernaut
