Returning to the fence of the auction venue, Jian Heng found that the auction was not over yet, so he ran over curiously to take a look and found that the current auction was still a horse.

Not only are the horses being patted, but there are also horses carrying horses to the register, and the registration office can still see the ranchers registering and waiting to be delivered.

The cart couldn't be hired, so Jian Heng hired a small trailer to escort the sheep and the only horse that could not be ridden, that is, black beans, back to the pasture by Zhao Changshan first.

Old Lynch watched the black beans get into the transport cart and suggested to Jian Heng: "Henry, I have time tomorrow, do you see if you give this horse to the gelding?" ”

Old Lynch didn't know what Jian Heng bought this horse for, as a veterinarian, in his opinion, the only use of such a horse was to train it to drive cattle and sheep after gelding.

As for stallions and the like, in the eyes of old Lynch, there is no possibility at all, it is simply a fantasy.

Don't look at the black beans growing so tall, there are more horses in the pasture that grow taller than the black beans, and the shape is better than the black beans, the old man thinks that if a horse like the black bean can be a stallion, the people who breed it will almost be blind.

Originally, the big black horse that Jian Heng rode was a gelding, Jian Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later!" ”

Jian Heng didn't think about whether to gelding black beans now, in fact, Jian Heng was a little entangled in this problem, a stallion like black bean was almost impossible to control without gelding, the stallion was very short-tempered, and riding a horse without gelding was almost a bit like sitting in the crater, and his life would be in danger at any time.

After the stallion was stabbed, it seemed that there was no trouble except eating, and it was quite a bit of a feeling that the world was in trouble.

After Zai Lie's stallion was stabbed, his personality immediately changed, and he was no longer mad when he saw the mare, and the master's instructions could be resolutely implemented.

In short, whether it is a ranch or a horse farm, as long as the stallion cannot be a stallion, there are only two ends, and the biggest way out is to be stabbed and become a riding horse, and it is even more terrible to return one way: kill and eat meat!

But now Jian Heng's life is not very embarrassing, so there is no burden on raising black beans for nothing.

"It's not gelding now, it's going to be gelding in the future, it's only two years old now, it's a good time for gelding!" As a veterinarian, Old Lynch spoke out for the benefit of Jian Heng and persuaded him more.

Seeing that Jian Heng shook his head, Old Lynch stopped talking, he understood that it was enough for him to say a word, anyway, the horse was not his, there was no need for him to be in such a hurry.

"What about your car?" Jian Heng asked more.

Lynch Sr. said, "I let Brady drive back."

"What are they doing here?" Jian Heng asked.

Brady is an employee at Anderson Ranch, and Dominic, a new friend he has made with Zhang Jialiang, is a colleague.

"I gave them the news, and naturally they came to sell the horses, and all seven or eight ponies were sold, and today is a really good day!"

"Sold?"

Seeing that Old Lynch nodded, Jian Heng sighed: "Crazy!" ”

"It's crazy! Now it's almost 600 horses sold! Old Lynch was also surprised, in the past, the amount of 600 horses had to be at least a quarter's worth of transactions in a nearby town, but this time it was completed in just one day.

"It's nothing to do with us, let's drive the cattle honestly!"

What can Jian Heng say, saying that a gang of Chinese robbed rotten cattle and went back to deceive compatriots? Don't talk about it, I blush a little when I think about it.

After speaking, without waiting for Old Lynch to speak, Jian Heng turned over on the back of a colored quartter horse.

Old Lynch looked at it and walked over to another horse bolted to the railing, a chestnut quarter horse with a white star in his nose. When he got to the horse, the old man in his sixties rolled over the horse like a young man.

As for the two sisters, Barley and Wheat, riding two Arabian horses respectively, Zhang Jialiang naturally rode Quart, which was his exclusive mount, which could be regarded as allowing him to establish a relationship with his mount almost quickly.

Gently pulling the side reins, Jian Heng came to everyone, and when the five horses got together, Jian Heng began to assign tasks.

"Lynch, you are in charge of the left hand side, I will come to the right hand side, Jialiang, you follow me, learn how to drive cattle, barley and wheat, and you two sisters will be in charge of the queen ..... first."

Jian Heng didn't know how the two eldest ladies were driving cattle, so he didn't worry about them, so he divided the easier work first, old Lynch Jian Heng understood, although he was old, but there was no big problem in being in charge, and there were not many cows, only about forty heads, and the workload would not be too big.

As for Zhang Jialiang, this kid has no experience at all, this time Jian Heng should give him a good practical lesson in driving cattle.

The five of them got on the horse, and with the help of the auction staff, drove the cattle out of the fence, and the enthusiastic staff also drove a small four-wheeled vehicle to send Jian Heng and the others to the intersection.

"Where to get there?" Old Lynch was holding the reins with one hand, and the whole person was standing on horseback like a javelin, and he couldn't tell that he was already in his sixties.

This time, it was impossible to drive the cattle on the main road, because there were many cars, and secondly, the main road was relatively far, and it was almost a third more distance.

"Take the trail, let's walk along the high-voltage line tower first, go to the foot of the mountain and then go straight to the pasture," Jian Heng said.

Lynch didn't say much, he directly lifted the reins, knocked the horse's belly lightly with both feet, and the horse that stepped off instantly started, only to see the old man holding the reins with one hand crooked the horse's head, and controlling the horse to cut directly to the head of the herd.

Moo!

The cow saw the horse running over, subconsciously turned the direction, the cow moved, the cow behind naturally followed the direction, and the whole herd moved very smoothly because of an action of old Lynch.

"See?" Jian Heng said approvingly to Zhang Jialiang.

Zhang Jialiang blinked his eyes, in his opinion, what's so difficult about this, isn't it just to use horses to drive cattle!

Seeing his expression, Jian Heng didn't reprimand him, and directly motioned for him to follow him.

People who have not driven cattle think with their own heads, "What is wrong with driving cattle, it is nothing more than driving the oxen forward, and if there is an ox that is disobedient and out of the herd, it is enough to drive it back on horseback, and it is not possible to whip it."

Isn't that right?

Right!

Exactly! There's nothing wrong with it at all, that's what it's like to drive cattle!

But knowing what it's like to drive a cow and let you really go to it, let alone a novice, even if it's an old cowboy who catches up with dozens or hundreds of cows, it's not an easy task.

First of all, test your judgment, you have to have a prediction of which one of the cows in the herd wants to get out of the herd.

Don't let the cattle run out before you start the horse to drive, a dozen is easy, if there are thousands of cattle in the normal transition, and when you drive the herd to the destination, it is estimated that there will be a percent of the cattle left on the road by you.

Second, you have to have good riding skills and more importantly, good physical strength to ensure that you can go back and forth on one side of the herd for a few hours, and do countless switchbacks.

The third point is that you have to have a precise position, so that your horse just stops the cow from going, and blocks any position where the cow is out of the herd, so that it has no choice but to automatically return to the herd.

Hooha! Hooha!

With the sound of urging horses one after another, Jian Heng and Old Lynch were swinging back and forth on both sides of the herd like two pendulums.

The cattle entered the trail, saying that the trail is not too narrow, this road was pressed out by the construction machine when the high-voltage line was built, and it was wider than the two feet of the iron frame of the high-voltage line, and it was much wider than the official highway next to it. It's just that there is no cement, it's a dirt road, and because the machine is heavy, the ground is compacted and there is not much grass.

There is no grass growing on the road, but there is grass on both sides of the road, and the cattle don't move much faster. Let's put it this way, the cows can't keep trot for long periods of time, they have to run and stop, and they have to chew on the grass on the side of the road from time to time, and no cowboy, no matter how good they are, they can't control the cow's instinct to eat grass.

As soon as the road was wide, the workload of Jian Heng and Old Lynch suddenly came up, and some of them ran to the roadside to graze, and some of them directly stretched out their mouths to pick up the young leaves on the branches.

Seeing that a heifer was about to leave the team, Jian Heng called Zhang Jialiang: "Jialiang, go up and try!" ”

When Zhang Jialiang heard this, he immediately urged the horse to run to the side of the heifer who was about to leave the team, and just when he thought that the heifer was going back to the herd, who knew that the heifer turned around and ran directly behind his horse's buttocks.

Jian Heng had already been prepared, seeing that Zhang Jialiang did not stop and directly urged the horse under his crotch, blocked the heifer in a few steps, waved the noose head in his hand, and the heifer turned his head back to the herd with interest.

"Why is it so easy for you to do it?" Zhang Jialiang asked puzzled.

This way he looked very seriously, learned also very devoted, this time ran up to intercept the cow that was full of confidence, but unfortunately to the cow next to a station, originally thought that the cow should turn its head, who knew that the cow directly bypassed himself, which made him very helpless.

"The eyes of the cow are long on both sides, it is the same as the horse, there is a blind spot when looking back, the position you stand in should be stuck in the blind spot and a fan-shaped interval in the direction of its forward, this time you are stuck a little too forward, the cow sees the gap behind your horse's buttocks, and it is not stupid and naturally knows to turn its head around you...."Jian Heng said while indicating where the correct horse should be next to the cow.

The cow will not wait for Jian Heng to finish teaching and then leave the group, just as Jian Heng was speaking, another heifer tried to leave the group, and Jian Heng explained and demonstrated to drive the cow back.

Don't underestimate the more than forty cows, the dust on the muddy ground that ran around was also rolled up, fortunately, Jian Heng was prepared, and he had already given everyone a square scarf, so everyone covered their noses with a square towel to block the mud and dust stirred up by the cows.

But I can't block my nose, I can't stop my body, and when I walk more than half of the road, and when I am about to turn into a straight forest path, everyone seems to have been fished out of a pile of dust.

The most uncomfortable is Zhang Jialiang, he learned to ride a horse not long ago, and his equestrian skills have not yet been in place, don't look at the trotting and walking is no problem, but driving the cow is not a trot, and now his posture on the back of the horse is directly deformed.

"Okay, don't follow me, don't worry about it for a while, you can follow the wheat to help!" Jian Heng persuaded him.

Looking at his appearance, Jian Heng knew that he was blistered by the saddle between his hips, this is caused by the unnatural riding posture or the waves, this thing is said a thousand times or ten thousand times, if you don't ride it, it's useless, this is something that others can't give, so you can only practice more by yourself.

"I can do it!" Zhang Jialiang gritted his teeth and insisted.

"You can do it today, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow, listen to me and you go to the back!" Jian Heng said.

Old Lynch glanced at Zhang Jialiang approvingly at this time: "Zhang, you have performed very well, better than many young men who grew up here for the first time!" ”

Speaking of the young people in the town now, Old Lynch couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

Jian Heng also smiled at Chong Zhang Jialiang who was approving: "Go to the back to help, don't hold on, listen to me."

Scratching his head shyly, Zhang Jialiang finally nodded, pulled the horse's head and turned to the back of the herd.

With Zhang Jialiang's addition, barley and wheat are a lot easier, and the two of them have more opportunities to press up, so that the cow speed is slightly faster.

The five of them hurried and hurried, and when they returned to the ranch, it was almost sunset.

Zhao Changshan was a little impatient to wait, if he knew the road, he would have been unable to hold back and drive to meet everyone.

Even so, Zhao Changshan stretched out his head and waited at the gate of the ranch for almost half an hour, and only then did he relax when he saw the cattle coming out from afar.

With a trot to meet the herd, when he caught up, he dragged a long branch in his hand, stood next to the herd, held a branch to help drive the cattle, and asked while driving: "Why is it so long?!" ”

"That's pretty fast!" Jian Heng said with a smile.

"Why did you get a big face?" Zhao Changshan saw that Zhang Jialiang was sitting on horseback, not only his face changed, but his whole face was also sweaty and dusty, like a clay figure, so he asked with concern.

Zhang Jialiang grinned: "It's okay, it's just that the inside of the leg is worn out a little skin!" ”

It's easy to say, Zhang Jialiang at this time is not comfortable, think about what it feels like to see the salt in the sweat flowing through the wound with broken skin, and now he feels like this, and he can't wait to split it directly on the horseback.

Jian Heng looked at him and smiled, and said jokingly: "Congratulations, the first step of the ranch life you are looking forward to has been taken!" ”
