Chapter 26: A Better and Better Life

"Damn!" Secretly scolded, Wei Da is also a little depressed now.

There are still a lot of snakes in Texas, and the weather here is relatively dry, of course, because many pastures here can be said to be vast and sparsely populated, and it is of course normal for some snakes to live here. Some of the cowboys on the ranch that Weida knows are very experienced, even if they are hot or breathable, but they are used to wearing high-tops when grazing, so as to avoid snake bites as much as possible.

Looking at the dead rattlesnake in front of him, Wei Da didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It is obvious that this is the masterpiece of the five unique dogs, and looking at this poor dead snake covered in scaly wounds, it must have been destroyed and abused by the five absolute snakes before it died; As for the fact that they dragged the dead snake to the door, in fact, Wei Da didn't know if it was because the five peers were showing off their own merits or because the snake was at the door.

If you can't change the environment in Texas, then you can change your mentality; The rattlesnake is a native of Texas, and Wei Da is just a latecomer. However, Wei Da was also thinking about some anti-snake means at this time, but it seemed a little regrettable that although there are many magical records in the "Shennong Sutra", it may not be suitable for use in the pasture. Although the compiler of the "Shennong Sutra" must be very powerful, he may not have lived on a ranch in the United States.

"Wei, do you want to be a good cowboy too?" Seeing Wei Da riding a fat boy over, little Simon, who was driving the herd, laughed and joked with Wei Da.

"Man, that's not my ideal. I just came to see my dollars and they seem to be living pretty well! Wei Da smiled and looked at the group of calves in front of him, this is a green dollar!

"Dude, that's the truth!" Simon Jr. is also an excellent cowboy, and he basically knows the growth of these cattle and sheep, under normal circumstances, Angus calves are about sixty right introductions, and the growth cycle reaches about a year to reach the adult Angus bull is 1,500 pounds to 1,900 pounds, and the cow is also about 1,200 pounds.

In about three months, the calves that Weida introduced at the beginning grew very well, and now Simon Jr. thinks that these calves can basically reach nearly 400 pounds. Looking at these cows, which are almost half a meter tall, their growth rate is really a bit surprising.

"I was thinking maybe when the time came for us to slaughter a cow, and we need to see the quality of the meat, I hope it's a nice marble, so that the price of my beef will be upgraded." Wei Da said half-truthfully.

"If you reach the second quality, I think you'll make a lot of money." Simon said with a smile that the cattle grow fast, which also makes Simon Jr. not seem to have high expectations for the quality of the meat; Although Weida has a miraculous feed that allows these heat-intolerant Angus cattle to survive well in Texas weather, the meat quality will definitely suffer because these guys grow too fast.

"Level 2 quality is just what I'm looking for right now, and I'll calculate that if I bring it to the slaughterhouse for $20 a pound, a cow is 1,500 pounds, and a cow can bring me back about $30,000. Man, I'm going to make a lot of money, I've got over 600 cows, that's more than 10 million dollars! Wei Da is still very confident, the quality of these cattle must be good after they grow up, Wei Da feels that his calculations should be achievable, maybe Wei Da is a little optimistic now, but the gap should not be too big.

Of course, Wei Da also knows that his current optimistic plan seems crazy to many people, after all, many ranchers nowadays are unable to breed high-quality beef cattle even if they have worked hard. Although Weida now has a good feed, the current pasture in the pasture is really relatively ordinary.

Weida now needs to breed better forage so that it can raise better quality beef cattle; Now Wei Da is working hard, but reaching the second level quality is far from being satisfied, he needs to do the best, and raising the best quality beef cattle is the most profitable. In a year, he earns more than 10 million yuan in the ranch, but he still has to put aside the cost of breeding and the like, Wei Da really doesn't feel a lot.

Laughing and joking with little Simon, seeing that these cows of his own are growing well, Wei Da is naturally in a better mood. Now the cowboys in the pasture are not only grazing, but more cowboys are still harvesting pasture; Simon Sr. and Simon Jr., father and son, of course, also had the first batch of Tim; The four cowboys recruited later now basically need to harvest some grass every day, which is the feed and staple food prepared by Weida for these cattle and sheep.

Wei Da, who was in a good mood, was wandering, and indeed seemed to be a little idle; Not far behind his house, Weida has now hired a special construction company to design a small private shooting range.

Two sets of automatic target reporting systems, plus a shooting distance of 25 meters, of course, bulletproof glass equipment and the like must also be prepared; Of course, things like sound reduction, ventilation, lighting, etc., Wei Da also took a look at it, and he didn't know much about these, so it was good to listen to the opinions of experts. Anyway, Wei Da spent more than 700,000 US dollars, and to a large extent, the labor on Lao Mei's side is really expensive.

Wei Da is also looking forward to it now, if his shooting range is established, then he will not only wipe the gun every day, but will be able to shoot the target every day, which is really crazy and enjoyable. Weida is now constantly transforming his living environment; Although there is a house on the side of the newly bought ranch, the environment over there is not necessarily better than here, so for the time being, it is here.

The furniture and equipment at home must be constantly upgraded; From the cabinet to the sofa in the living room, the floor changes, and even the doors, windows, curtains, etc. are constantly changing. Anyway, compared to when the ranch first arrived, he was shy and simply changed some bed sheets in the bedroom, and now Wei Da, who is not short of money, is naturally lavish to make his life look more comfortable and superior.

"You're going to trot a little bit with me from today, look at how lazy you've become now!" Lin Shan patted the back of the black horse prince who came up funny, this little black horse now lives a very leisurely and comfortable life, basically going around in circles in the pasture near the house, plus the good food and drink, this naturally looks a little fat.

The prince snorted, then turned his horse's head proudly; Welda promised that he wouldn't be communicating directly with the horses right now, but it was also possible that the prince was too clever to know that Weida might be planning to train him more and play such a boring game.

Wei Da is still in a very good mood, although he seems to be a little idle all day long, Wei Da actually did something. The most important thing is that the development of the ranch is getting better and better, which is also the happiest thing for Weida, as long as he continues to maintain the current development speed, Weida believes that his life will become more and more comfortable, which is also the leisurely and comfortable life of the real local tyrant, which can make Weida feel extremely enjoyable life.

The range is still under construction, and there is no need for Weida to come over now; Now around the house, the infrastructure of warehouses, stables, granaries, etc., is constantly improving; Weida is also constantly transforming the environment here. Fortunately, the weather is slowly cooling down, and it is finally not so hot; Wei Da was also busy using the small pond not far from the house, and now it has rained a few times, and the irrigation system of the ranch is basically laid, so Wei Da is of course a little excited.

Freshwater fish and the like are not mentioned for the time being, it is also very important to get some fresh river shrimp, crabs and the like, although I have eaten enough beef and mutton during this time, but this beef and mutton is easy to get tired of eating too much, as a rich man, Wei Da will not grieve his stomach.
