Chapter 447: Busy

They brought all the sick cattle to the barn.

"All cows have the same symptoms, let's go to the vicinity of the sick cow's range and look for it," the veterinarian said to the cowboy next to him, thinking that something that could make the cow sick might be nearby.

Hearing what the doctor said, everyone naturally listened, so Cannon began to divide the line.

"Boss, come with me, let's go to the east to see the cows," Cannon finally said to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi nodded, the two walked out of the cowshed side by side, Canon did not ride a horse, and directly sat in the back bucket of Zhang Chi's three jumpers, carried by Zhang Chi with three jumpers, and the two ran to the place where the cattle stayed.

Now there was still a light rain in the sky, and all the cattle were gathered together, with their butts facing southeast and their heads facing northwest, hiding on the west side of the grove.

The reason why the cattle are all like this is because the rain and wind blow from the southeast, and they use this way to avoid the cold wind and rain.

It's better to be in the wind than to be in the wind, and the cow is not stupid at all.

When he got to the vicinity of the herd, Zhang Chi directly threw the three jumpers aside at random, and Cannon also jumped off the back bucket.

"Which side do you pick?" Cannon asked.

Zhang Chi pointed casually, so the two separated, and began to look for plants that might cause the cow to cause disease around the calf.

Now the cattle are standing on the grass are alfalfa grass, the most common alfalfa, the grass has grown very tall, and all the plants are almost like this, there are no seedlings, alfalfa seedlings can sometimes make cattle flatulence, but also the grass to pay attention to.

There are no seedlings now, so Zhang Chi's attention is on other plants.

Zhang Chi observed as he moved, and after almost twenty minutes, he didn't find any harmful plants.

Just when Zhang Chi was thinking about whether his good neighbor's little baby would itch again and make trouble for himself, Cannon's voice came.

“boss! There's a situation here."

When Zhang Chi heard this, he immediately came to Cannon's side with a trot, and asked loudly as he ran, "What's the situation?" ”

At this moment, when Cannon bent down and stood upright again, there was a dry vine-like plant in his hand, which was quite long, and although the leaves were dry and yellow, he could still see the shape of a heart.

"Coyote vine?!"

Zhang Chi recognized this thing at a glance.

Coyote vine is the name of this side, what is the name of this thing, Zhang Chi really doesn't know, but he just followed everyone's name, others said that this is called coyote vine, and he knew this thing.

This thing is not poisonous when it is fresh, in fact, this thing is not poisonous to people, whether it is fresh or dried, and there is no problem with you eating it except for bitterness and astringency.

But for ruminant animals is a little not so friendly, it can react with the enzymes in the cow to produce toxic substances, this substance is not a symptom as soon as it is eaten, usually to accumulate a certain amount of animals to have a reaction, and when there is a reaction, it is usually already a serious disease.

"It's ......".

Zhang Chi now saw something under Cannon's feet, it was a bundle of grass, according to Zhang Chi's judgment, this grass should have been bought by the Nell family to let their cattle survive the winter before it froze last year or this year.

Anyway, it wasn't Zhang Chi who bought it, because Zhang Chi never bought pasture, and his own pasture is now running out, where do you still need to buy forage, even if you buy it, it's just a trick for others.

"I don't know if it's intentional or not, there's this thing in the bale," Canon kept spinning as he took the dry vine, thinking about something as he turned.

Zhang Chi notified: "Inform everyone, let everyone take back the grass that was originally going to be fed to the cattle, gather it for inspection, and then have to go through all the grass in the warehouse."

These days, the ranch is clearing the material, saving so many old materials, although the price looks good now, but such a small amount, and what to transport, it is not worth it.

So the cowboys threw it out to feed the cows, and dried the freshly beaten hay and put it into storage.

"Well, that's exactly how it should be," Cannon nodded solemnly.

I took out my mobile phone to make a call, and after asking around, I realized that someone over there had also found coyote vines.

found the disease-causing plant, and the veterinarian was able to prescribe the right medicine, while Zhang Chi and the cowboys began to gather all the dry grass that was thrown outside, and it couldn't be eaten by the cattle anyway.

When Zhang Chi's group was transporting all the scattered grass back to the door of the warehouse, grandfather Zhang Jiaren and father Zhang Youpeng appeared on their respective horses.

"Didn't you say it couldn't rain?" Zhang Chi looked at the two and asked curiously.

Zhang Jiaren got off the horse and said: "It's not interesting, after playing a few rounds of cards, I always don't win the cards, so we gave up our position and came over to see what we could do here."

Zhang Youpeng saw the broken grass on the ground, so he asked, "What's the matter, is this going to spread grass or." Oh, no, this grass was brought from outside, and the grass in the warehouse will definitely not get wet like this."

Zhang Chi gave Lao Tzu a thumbs up: "There is poison ivy in the haystack, a few cows are sick after eating it, and now our task is to pick out these poison ivy."

"Oh, that's just in time, we're just in time."

Zhang Jiaren drove his horse under the eaves, then carried a bundle of grass and put it beside the horse, and he joined the army of work with his son Zhang Youpeng, who was also busy with work.

The bales are easy to find, because many of them are loosened by the cows, but the bales in the warehouse are difficult, because all the bales are made by the baler, and if you want to find the poison ivy, you have to break the bales.

Of course, the easiest way to do this is to throw them all away.

It's a pity that neither Cannon nor Zhang Chi will do this, because if you want to throw it away, you have to pay for it, and giving grass to someone else's house is not harmful. So the best thing to do is to pick it up.

This job is done with patience, and people who are impatient can't do this job, such as Zhang Chi.

After dismantling five or six bundles of grass here, and not finding a single poison ivy, I felt that my back ached, and my whole body seemed to fall apart.

"I've found another one here," Dominic said.

As he spoke, a poison ivy rose in his hand, and the vine was quite long, almost more than a meter long, and two meters long.

Brian said at this time: "Have you found it, the bales of poison ivy came out of this side, and everyone on both sides has not found one yet."

Not only did Brian find out about it, but Zarik also found out: "Well, I found out too."

Cannon said slowly at this time: "Even if you don't find it over there, you have to continue to dismantle it, we would rather believe that there are two piles over there, and we can't just dismantle or pick it up because we want to save some trouble."

Cannon's meaning is very clear, that is, even if no poison ivy is found in those two piles of hay now, everyone has to practice and continue to dismantle, there is nothing to say, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

As soon as Cannon's words were thrown out, all the cowboys' faces couldn't help but feel bitter, everyone is human, this reaction is normal, who doesn't want to save a snack and do less.

Originally, Zhang Chi wanted to stand up and shout, but seeing that everyone was not easy to leave for a while, he had to bite the bullet and check the hay bales here with everyone.

This work is not something that can be done in a day or two, Nell is in a hurry, all the hay has not come to deal with much, and there are at least thirty tons of hay in the entire warehouse.

Thirty tons of grass for four or five people to pick up, that must be a little time. What's more, after the poison ivy is dried, the difference between it and pasture is not too big, you have to be careful to do it.

The reason why there were only three or four people was because other cowboys had to keep the ranch running, and it was impossible for everyone to come and pick up hay.

After tossing back and forth for four or five days, everyone picked up all the hay, and after making sure that it was correct, they had to use a baler to bale the hay again, and after baling, they had to be stacked.

Zhang Chi didn't pick up hay all the time, in fact, early the next morning, he took advantage of the excuse of delivering tofu to his uncle's family, and ran away, until everyone did their work well, and he didn't take the lead.

In the morning, Zhang Chi went downstairs and found that except for his grandfather and Lao Tzu, everyone else was there, so he asked curiously.

"Why are there so many people today?"

Generally speaking, it is normal for grandpa and dad Zhang Youpeng to be absent, and now the two of them are obsessed with the work of the ranch, if it is not for the fact that their spouses do not allow it, these two people would like to sleep directly in the duty room of the ranch at night.

Zhang Juan and Sun Yanping are usually always one less, and now Zhang Juan's riding skills have been practiced well, and there is no problem at all with the horse trot.

So Zhang Juan is naturally addicted to horseback riding, what is this like, like a person who has just learned to ride a bicycle, and he can't wait to pin his bike under his crotch when he sleeps.

It's the same with horseback riding, especially when you can ride a horse, and you can't get off if you want to ride on horseback.

Zhang Juan is now in such a period, so almost as soon as she wakes up, she will brush the horse or something, and then ride the horse for a lap, and she will not come back to eat until eight o'clock in the morning.

Sun Yanping will not run far, he has now passed the period of horse riding addiction, but even if he is not addicted to horse riding, he is now addicted to guns.

Zhang Chi's family has a gun, and the supply of bullets is also open because of Merica, so Sun Yanping can't find the north to play, and almost every other day, he will go to the improvised shooting range to play for half an hour to an hour.

Xiao Xiao is also uncommon, he and his friends, relying on a translation pen to get down the friendship, really made Zhang Chi a little amazed, and children are really much better than adults in learning foreign languages.

For example, many times Zhang Chi has to translate in his mind when he speaks English, but children don't need it, and now Xiao Xiao can easily master many daily applications.

Seriously, Zhang Chi was a little surprised by Xiao Xiao's English progress, much faster than when he first came, he couldn't talk to others after half a year of study.

Now Xiao Xiao is already a little small here.

"Just waiting for you, you and your brother-in-law don't leave today," Zhang Juan said to her younger brother who had just come downstairs.

"What kind of demon moth is you making a fuss about?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.

Zhang Juan said: "We are going to take a group of photos."

"What's the matter with me?"

Zhang Chi was strange, it wasn't a day or two for his sister to take pictures, Zhang Chi felt that he hadn't taken pictures except for his own dung heap, and other places had already been photographed by the two.
