Chapter 110: Giving birth to a cow
"Boss, I'm glad you were able to come and see your herd, it looks like you haven't forgotten about them, and that's really good news." Seeing Wei Da riding over on a horse, old Simon joked with a smile, Wei Da doesn't seem to care enough about his ranch compared to ordinary ranchers, this is not a tourist ranch, this is a grazing ranch that produces beef cattle, and to a large extent, it represents the income of the rancher!
"Man, I really care about these guys. Just look at our pastures, it's my research; I've now gone and bought a farm, and it's one thing to plant a lawn, and I'm going to gather some experts to study higher forage grasses. As you may know, I also care about these cows, they are all green dollars. Wei Da didn't care about Old Simon's ridicule, in fact, cowboys also knew, don't look at Wei Da rarely come to see the herd, but Wei Da really has nothing to say about the pasture, a wide range of irrigation systems, and a comprehensive upgrade of pasture, this is a big deal.
"Our first cattle have already given birth and are doing very well. Look over there, and this is the first batch of calves from our pasture, and they do look a little better. "Old Simon knows Weida's intentions, and the current ranch has about thirty cows born in the pasture, and the number will slowly expand.
"They do look pretty, remember to do more information, it's not easy to breed cattle." Wei Da smiled, these calves are not necessarily much stronger than the ones they bought, but even a small advantage is very important.
"And your two baby bison, they also have offspring, which looks a bit of a surprise, maybe good news." Seeing that Wei Da was carefully studying the information in his hands, old Simon also mentioned one thing, "I have given birth to two calf cubs, not black Angus cows, but brown and yellow bison fur, I think they will be yellow fur when they grow up." ”
Wei Da was stunned, Angus cattle generally refer to black cattle breeds, and the outside world generally believes that black cattle breeds are superior. The Angus cattle that Weida bought were all black cattle, but suddenly produced two yellow Angus cattle, which were not really pure Angus cattle. And the American bison is brown and black a lot of the time, not really pure black, and it is normal for the calf to be yellow. Wei Da also felt that he needed to take a look at the two calves, which was also very important.
"The calf was surprisingly strong and was able to stand up and walk in about half an hour. I think it may have inherited some of the characteristics of bison, which are indeed much stronger than ordinary calves, and they are also larger. Old Simon led Weida to the next herd and pointed to the two lively little cattle in the middle of the herd of black cattle, which were also very eye-catching.
"They also look a little bigger, but I don't know what the meat is." Wei Da is also half an expert, and these two little scalpers do look a little different from Angus cattle.
For example, if you are a little taller, your legs are longer. The Angus cow is characterized by its black hornless appearance, short and strong body, and it also looks somewhat cylindrical. Although these two little cattle can't see other traits, they are basically guaranteed to be taller, which is also the characteristics of their parents, that is, bison.
"I think it's time to look further, and no one can guarantee the quality of their meat right now. The Angus cattle are one of the best cattle breeds, and I thought it would be even happier if these two little ones could inherit the meat of the Angus cow, combined with the strength and weight of the bison. Old Simon also has some expectations, although no one can guarantee what kind of harvest the two little guys can bring in the end, but it is also responsible for some hope.
Angus cattle are generally at the limit of 900 kilograms for adult bulls, while some strong bison can even reach 1,000 kilograms! The Angus cattle have improved by less than one and a half meters, but the bison can even reach two meters, and not only taller, but also because they are also more than two to three meters long, which is a real behemoth.
The two bull demon kings of Hercules and Pingtian Dasheng are now mixed in the herd, although they are only more than a year old now, although they have not yet reached their full peak, but compared to the average Angus cow, they are also much stronger and taller; They have a high back, and the hairs on their heads, necks, and forebody are also very long, especially on the shoulders, which are covered with long, fluffy coarse hairs, which also make them look stronger and more prestigious.
"Leave them alone for now, if a new breed of cattle can be bred I think I'll die of joy, it's a gift from God." The Hercules King and the Great Sage of Pingtian also ran over with a bang, and the sprint of the two nearly one-ton behemoths still made people feel a lot of pressure, but Wei Da believed that these two guys would not hurt themselves, in fact, the two of them were also arching Wei Da with their big heads, obviously they hadn't seen Wei Da for a long time, and they missed Wei Da a little.
"You may not know how domineering they are, because they are strong enough that the average bull would not dare to compete with them for a mate. So, I think if you keep sowing them like this, maybe you'll soon have a lot of new breeds of cattle on your pasture. Old Simon is also joking, although bison is a polygamous habit, but a cow is basically one calf every time, even if it is two seeders, it is estimated that there will not be too many calves.
The condition of the herd is really very good, and Wei Da feels relatively satisfied; In addition, the research institute in cooperation with Kansas State University can also give him a little technical support, and Wei Da also believes that he is more confident in raising high-quality beef cattle, which does not need to be doubted at all.
Since the cattle are okay here, it also means that the operation of the ranch is very smooth; Now the growth of the grass is very good, almost a year is enough for the grass to take root completely, and it can almost reach the height of the calf. This is very good, Wei Da believes that these grasses can actually continue to grow; But now that the grass was sufficient, he didn't need to ask for more.
When I led the horse back home, it was almost time for the sun to go down; Wei Da also began to prepare dinner, and there were some small vegetable gardens in the pasture, which is a very good supplement, but it can only be said that the vegetables on Lao Mei's side are still relatively monotonous, especially in a small town like Abiline, if you want to eat more dishes, you really need to do it yourself and be more reliable.
"Angela, I'm going to make you a nice dish today, I think you'll like it." Wei Da skillfully tied his apron, anyway, as long as he sent Angela back before eleven o'clock in the evening, Wei Da still liked to do it with Wei Da.
"I was preparing apple pie and salad and it was delicious too. However, there is a lot of beef in the ranch, and even I think that tripe is very interesting to eat. But that limits my play, and you have to prepare some chicken thighs, chicken wings, you know, Americans love fried food. Angela, the beautiful chef, was making her own work, and she turned her head to look at Wei Da and made suggestions.
"We won't watch the movie tomorrow, I'll pick you up tomorrow, and then we'll go to the town and buy some food, and buy all the food you think you need! Then we went to the horse farm, and Kyle said that Chiji had improved a lot, and he wanted me to go over and try to ride Chiji, this little guy hadn't saddled up yet. Wei Da nodded at Angela, there is indeed a lot of food at home, but sometimes there is indeed some food missing, and it is necessary to buy it.
The two of them are chatting and cooking at the same time, and even when eating, there is nothing to eat, not to sleep, etc., so that there will be a more warm atmosphere; Even the two lynxes, the prince and the prince, were playing dishonestly, which made the atmosphere in the house very good.
