Chapter 523: Cannon's Difficulties
Suddenly, even the big fat had an effect, which made Zhang Chi feel a little satisfied.
Having said that, for the current life, Zhang Chi has no reason to be dissatisfied, now there is money, land, wife, and even children, if Zhang Chi still complains, Zhang Chi feels that he will be a little embarrassed.
Satisfied!
I am very satisfied with my current life.
pre-Fict!
Just as she was thinking, she heard Jennifer's voice behind her, and Merica came into the house at the same time.
As soon as Jennifer came, Zhang Chi naturally had to withdraw, he didn't want to stay with his sister-in-law for too long, for fear that she would infect him with stupidity.
Out of the house, after a turn, he felt that he had to find some work for himself, so Zhang Chi came to the cowshed, checked the results of the cowshed cleaning, and then Zhang Chi rode out to see the situation of the cows.
Riding a horse to the side of the herd, I saw that these guys were all energetic and lively, and they were naturally satisfied.
When I returned to the stable, I ran into Cannon.
Zhang Chi stopped him.
"Cannon, tell you something, can you arrange me a few cattle dogs tomorrow?" Zhang Chi asked.
Cannon guessed what Zhang Chi was going to do when he heard it, so he asked with a smile, "The sleigh has arrived?" ”
"It's here," Zhang Chi nodded.
Cannon became interested when he heard it: "Let's go, let's take a look."
As soon as Zhang Chi heard his heart, he would go, so the two of them prepared to go out of the stable and go to the tool room together.
When they arrived at the door, Zhang Chi and Cannon stopped at the same time, because the two heard the sound of humming.
The cattle dogs now live in two groups, one group is the big cow, the tiger and the three biao, they sleep in the stable here, and the other, that is, the cattle dogs in the west pasture, they sleep in the office over there.
The sound they heard now couldn't have been that of a big dog, because a big dog wouldn't bark like that.
Puppy?
The two of them immediately looked happy, and there was the sound of a puppy, so it was very likely that the second litter of puppies of the second tiger was born.
Following the sound, the two walked to the hay pile, and soon found a nest like a grass hole, stretched out their heads to look inside, and sure enough, they found that the second tiger was hiding inside, and next to the second tiger, several small stuffy things were arching back and forth.
"When was it born?"
Zhang Chi looked at Cannon and asked.
Cannon shook his head: "I really haven't paid attention, my attention has been on the herd for the past two days."
Cannon has been working with Professor Haydn for the past two days to register all the cattle on the ranch, which is not a simple job, which cow and which cow are separated, it is quite a systematic project, almost equivalent to breaking up all the cattle and reorganizing them again.
Originally, Zhang Chi brought out the herd, according to the male and female, according to the size, but not according to the blood, which is very unfavorable for future breeding.
At least Haydn and others seem to be unfavorable, because it is well known that inbreeding produces deformed offspring, and if it is bred in a circle, after many generations, the creature will slowly dwarf.
When this theory was learned by Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think of an island country in the East, and at the same time thought of a sentence said by a Western scholar: The so-called Warring States in this country is nothing more than a group of monkeys riding dogs fighting in groups.
This is a bit far, these days at Zhangchi Ranch, a group of researchers have finally figured out all the Amber cattle DNA of Zhangchi Ranch.
And compared more than 20 pedigrees, some can be traced to the source, but at least half, there is no way to trace the source, that is, in the current herd, there are no cattle with the same genes as them.
Scholars have concluded that it is likely that there are still herds in the mountains that have not been found, and another possibility is that these cattle are not the same species.
Anyway, Zhang Chi was confused and had a headache, so he no longer thought about such a complicated thing.
Now that the genetic relationship has been figured out, scholars and cowboys in the ranch naturally have to regroup the cattle according to different blood relationships, so that it will be more convenient to breed or graze, and at the same time, it will be more convenient to avoid internal digestion when estrus, produce bad calves, and cause property losses to the ranch.
In short, the cowboys are a little busier than usual during this time, and they don't have time to take care of the two tigers who are going to give birth to puppies.
Of course, the two tigers who eat three meals a day can still eat enough, so it is not too important for the cowboys to pay attention to the two tigers.
Zhang Chi reached in and dialed it, retracted his hand and looked inside, and found that this time the second tiger gave birth to six puppies, although the number was a little more, but this time the dog's coat color was less, three gray, three iron-clad gold, and the color of the second dog itself did not come out.
"I'll get some food and drink for Erhu later," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon responded: "I know, with these puppies, it will be easier on the ranch next year, and the ranch over there can also send a few over."
The ranch Cannon is talking about is not referring to the West Ranch, but to the Colorado ranch, which is Merica's dowry.
Now the pasture is still managed by the original manager, and the grass has been changed, but I don't know what's going on, and the cattle that can be fed on the grass per unit area are still not as good as Zhang Chi's ranch.
There are a lot of people over there, and the efficiency is not high, not that it is below average, but it is not efficient compared to the Zhangchi ranch, and Eric and Langdon think that the Colorado ranch lacks good cattle dogs.
Cannon's side, as the general level, the closest character to the boss, can't leave all the Amber cattle dogs in the ranch here, and now that he has a second litter of puppies, he has to leave a little over there.
"BOSS, don't give away this litter of puppies, if you send it again, the ranch will be enough" Cannon thought of this, and specially reminded Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi replied: "Got it."
Now the puppy cub hasn't opened his eyes yet, and like the daughter of Zhang Chi's family, there is nothing to see except eating or sleeping, so Zhang Chi and Cannon watched for a while, and then walked towards the tool room together.
When he came to the tool room, Cannon saw the sled assembled by Zhang Chi, and he was a little uneasy, so he squatted down and checked it carefully, for fear that this thing would not be used by his boss and there would be an accident.
Now the one who wants Zhang Chi to live a long life is Cannon, if Zhang Chi plays a sleigh and loses his life, Cannon feels that he can't cry in a good tone.
After checking around, Cannon didn't find any problems, so he turned around and gave Zhang Chi a thumbs up, meaning that he did a great job.
Zhang Chi didn't think much about it, where could he have thought that if Cannon wasn't a disciple here, he almost wished that he would live forever.
"Now that there are things, it's time for the dog," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon said, "I'll bring a few dogs over tomorrow." Fortunately, there are not many places to use cattle dogs now, half of the dogs can rest, in fact, they don't have to be half, most of the dogs are fine."
It's not summer, it's full of greenery, it's snow, and at night, needless to say, the cattle are in the barn, and no wild beast will break into the barn to attack the cows.
During the day, small species seem to have no threat to the herd at all, and it has to be a big animal, as far as the current weather is concerned, to put it bluntly, it is a mountain lion, and the other is a coyote, in fact, the possibility of coyotes is not high, because they are limited in size, at this time to Zhang Chi Ranch, before they jumped next to the herd, their physical strength was almost consumed.
The last one is the gray wolf, the North American gray wolf, these guys are big enough to catch North American bison, so it's not much of a problem to deal with Amber cattle.
But the North American gray wolf is not seen much now, they may be afraid of being killed by humans, and often operate in the depths of the forest, where their original rival bears are sleeping at the moment, so their lives are so-so, and there is no need to risk facing humans and enter the fringes of human society.
The matter was explained to Cannon, and Zhang Chi was waiting for four or five dogs to be put on tomorrow and try this sled.
When the two arrived at the door of the co-workers' room, thinking about separating, Zhang Chi suddenly remembered something and called Cannon again.
"Cannon, Dieter still has to send him to school, why is he going to school at such a young age?"
Zhang Chi remembered Dieter's question.
Cannon's face collapsed when he heard the talk about his son: "BOSS, it's not that I want him to come over to work, it's that he is not a student at all, and I'm afraid that if he goes to a farther school and becomes a boarder, then he will mix with a bunch of bad boys, and it will be better to let him work on the ranch at that time."
Cannon wants his son to go to school, it's good to be able to get a doctorate, but it's a pity that the people in their old Kan family don't have such genes, Dieter is the same as old Cannon, when he was a child, he was sleepy when he saw a book, and he couldn't open his eyes.
Originally, Cannon also contacted a Spanish school, but unfortunately the school was too far away, and Dieter had to go to that boarding.
The boarding of rich people is not the same thing as this boarding house, and there are people I know at Cannon, so I might as well not go to this school if I ask the good guys.
"Then you can't let him stay in the ranch," Zhang Chi was also afraid of trouble.
Cannon then opened his mouth and said, "He doesn't count as working on the ranch, I'm here with him."
Cannon's meaning is very clear, his son works on the ranch and works, Zhang Chi does not have to give money, what he pays is three meals a day.
If Zhang Chi agrees, he will take advantage, because there is one more person to work, and he has not paid an extra salary.
But Zhang Chi is not that kind of person, he is still so-so when he sees Dieter working today, of course, one day is nothing, wait for a few days to see whether this child is suitable for ranch work, if it is suitable for Zhang Chi, he will definitely stay, if it is not suitable, then he can only say goodbye.
Even if he is Cannon's son, Zhang Chi will not keep him, because if you keep a person who is not very hardworking, it will reduce the work efficiency of the entire ranch.
"That's a good idea. I'm not going to use him until he's eighteen years old, no matter how good it is," Zhang Chi didn't say anything else, just said a simple word to Cannon.
Cannon understands, and Zhang Chi also understands that the two are tacit.
