pasture leisure

Chapter 18
After chatting for a few words, Aunt Phil asked, "Where's the cow you bought?"

"Over there, I'm going to rent a car first. The trailer I brought is relatively small, and it can only hold ten trailers, and a maximum of twelve trailers can be squeezed together. There are still eight trailers without a car," Zhang Chi said.

"How big is the cow?" Aunt Phil asked.

"Mavericks, three or four hundred pounds," Zhang Chi replied.

"Come on, take me to have a look first. We also drove here to see if we can fit it. If we can fit it, then don't rent a car. Anyway, we will put it back empty." Aunt Phil said heartily Said.

When Zhang Chi heard this, he nodded immediately: "Ok, I'll take you and Phil to have a look first."

So the three of them came to the pen where Guan Zhangchi photographed the calf.

Phil glanced at it and said: "No problem, just pull out the middle fence of our trailer to hold these cows. Fortunately, the cows are not big."

Turning around, Phil asked again, what price Zhang Chi paid for these cattle.

Hearing Zhang Chi's quotation, Phil said: "It's not cheap, but it's not too expensive either."

"Only twenty?" Aunt Phil knew how big Zhang Chi's new ranch was. Generally speaking, two or three acres of pasture can support one cow, which means that Zhang Chi's pasture must have at least one hundred cows. Up to standard.

Of course, you can also raise a little more, so it is calculated normally, and you have to consider the cost of changing fields or buying winter forage in winter.

Although Aunt Phil's family does not raise cattle, there is no shortage of pastures near the farm. She knows more about the operation of general pastures than Zhang Chi does now.

Aunt Phil has a bright personality, just like Zhang Chi's aunt, nothing else but a lot of friends.

"Then stop talking nonsense, Phil, go and clean up our trailer," Aunt Phil said to her husband.

Look how Aunt Phil treats her husband like a servant.

Phil didn't say much, and turned his head to his parking place when he heard this.

Zhang Chi saw that he couldn't stand stupidly, so he followed.

"It's okay, you are a novice and you don't understand, he often makes these things alone." Aunt Phil stopped Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi laughed and said: "That's not okay, I have to learn how to do this job, I'll go and help."

Aunt Phil looked at Zhang Chi and said: "No wonder your aunt said that if Xiao Wu could save half of your worries, she would wake up from her dreams with a smile. All right, let's go together."

When the three of them arrived at the parking lot, Zhang Chi realized that the trailer of Aunt Phil's house was really big. Not only was the trailer not small, but the car towing the trailer was also not small. The pickup was directly an F550.

Zhang Chi's first impression of this guy was that he was as big as a hill. Good guy, if there was no ladder to get on the car, Zhuo Chi felt like he was climbing into a big truck.

"Auntie, this car is exciting!" Zhang Chi boasted.

Phil heard that his mouth almost went to the back of his head, and he opened his mouth to introduce Zhang Chi.

"This guy has a 6.7 liter V8 diesel...".

Whether it is an American man or a Chinese man, most of them are not enough to talk about cars. Hearing Zhang Chi's praise, Phil and Zhang Chi chatted together.

The big guy is not only powerful, but also expensive. Anyway, Zhang Chi likes it very much, but Zhang Chi's face is not polite at all with the money in his pocket.

So Yichi had to think to himself: If we have money, we can buy one too!This car is so awesome.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Phil said, "It's difficult to get in the car every time. If he hadn't been asking for it for almost half a year, I wouldn't want to buy this big guy. It's like driving a tank on the road. ".

She said so, but Aunt Phil's eyes were full of pride. She transformed a family from a small farm of thirty acres into ten years.

"Hurry up, it's getting late, dare to help take off the middle board, pack the cow and go home." Aunt Phil opened her mouth and said when she saw her husband pulling Zhang Chi and showing off her car.

After hearing this, Phil continued to work.

Look at this, Phil has been trained to get better.

Now Phil probably understands that he is more than a dozen blocks away from his wife in terms of business. He can do the work by himself, and he has nothing else to do.

The middle plate of the trailer was removed, and the trailer that used to hold pigs on two floors became a one-story trailer, which could just fit Zhang Chi's newly bought calf.

When we arrived at the fence, with the help of the staff, we drove the calves into the car. Finally, we found that the trailer had [-] cows loaded directly, and the trailer I brought had to put the remaining [-] cows in it.

After the car was loaded, Zhang Chi's pickup was in front, Phil and his wife's super pickup was behind, and the two cars drove towards Zhang Chi's pasture.

It was still dark when we got home.

After entering the ranch, Zhang Chi and Phil drove the cows off the trailer. Anyway, there are no cowsheds now, and the weather is not cold, so there will be nothing wrong with the cows outside.

If it’s winter, it won’t work. It’s minus ten or twenty degrees outside, and the calf must be frozen to death.

The calves were still a little scared when they arrived at the new place, so they all huddled together and hid in a small forest without eating grass.

"Auntie, let's go have a meal, I'll treat you."

His aunt was kind enough to help, and he saved the money for the tow truck, but it was impossible to save money for food, so Zhang Chi didn't care whether the Mavericks were afraid or not, and opened his mouth to invite Phil and his wife to dinner.

Aunt Phil smiled and said: "Forget it, it's not good to use the money for food, that's all, when your ranch makes money, we will make sure you have a good meal, don't mess with these things now It's over, honestly raising your cattle is better than anything else, let's go."

"Auntie, I have to give you gas money even if you don't eat," Zhang Chi said.

"If I say this again, I'm in a hurry with you. It's money or not. You are the child I watched grow up. Besides, we are going home. What kind of gas money do you give me? Alright, take a good look at you What a bull. Can't we Chinese who are away from home take care of each other a little bit?".

As he said that, his aunt pulled Phil, who had closed the trailer door, back into the car.

Before leaving, he waved happily at Zhang Chi.

After seeing off Phil and his wife, Zhang Chi returned to his pasture and looked at the calves hiding in the woods. Twenty calves were huddled together. Except for mooing, none of them grazed with their heads down.

Moo!
"What a fart, you won't be able to go back in the future, honestly grow meat in my pasture, and when the meat grows, it will depend on your own performance whether to kill or make breeding cows."

Zhang Chi said to the Mavericks with a smile.

Among the first batch of calves bought today, five or six are bulls, and the rest are heifers. The bulls are raised for meat, and the cows are naturally raised for calves.

Looking at this herd of calves, Zhang Chi suddenly began to count in his heart. This year there will be fifteen heifers, and next year there will be fifteen cows with calves. Even if they are half born Cows, then in the next year there will be twenty cows and twenty calves....

Good guy, the more you count, the more beautiful you are!

Goo!
His stomach growled, and he pulled Zhang Chi back from his dream, and rubbed his stomach, only then did Zhang Chi remember that he ate a burrito at almost noon that day.

Back beside the RV, Zhang Chi took out the pots and bowls, and started to fry steak for himself. After his stomach was full, it was already dark.

Lie down on the bed and look through the livestock auction over there. I wanted to sleep, but I was worried that I would take the calf I just bought, so I turned over and took the flashlight. At the same time, I put a saddle on Chiyanshan and rode The horse galloped past the grove where the calf hid during the day.

When he arrived at the small woods, Zhang Chi took a photo with a flashlight and found that the group of calves were still lying together in the woods, but it was a good thing that some calves kept moving their mouths, obviously digesting the forage.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Chi felt relieved.

Get back in the RV and work till dawn.

The next morning, Chi Yanshan still acted as the alarm clock. When it was one o'clock, he began to knock on Zhang Chi's window, waiting for Zhang Chi to wake up.

There are cattle in the ranch, so the first thing is naturally to see the cattle.

The calves who were a little scared yesterday were a little more active today, and walked out of the woods one by one, but they were not far away from the woods. They were on the grass next to the horses in the small woods, mouthing the grass happily.

Riding on horseback, Zhang Chi counted them, there were twenty in total, not too many, and the calves ate grass and ate happily, and Zhang Chi's mood improved accordingly.

Riding Chiyan Mountain and turning around, Zhang Chi couldn't help but frowned when he turned to the fence. His small fence was really too stretched.

There is no way to pull the cross, Zhang Chi has to save a penny now, at least until the cattle can be sold.

Thinking of selling cattle, Zhang Chi thought of his own gourds again. There is no problem at all with growing grass in gourds. Zhang Chi has tried it many times.

Just wait for this time to go to Los Angeles, bring back the spraying drone, and then slowly adjust the ratio of water to water, so that the pasture grows early and quickly, and it is not too eye-catching.

But this is all for later.

This pondering reminded Zhang Chi that he was going to be a silly model for others. At that time, he would pay [-] yuan, and he would give Brother Wu [-] yuan of financial expenses according to the industry price, and he could take the rest of the money. Let's repair this fence well, no matter what happens, these poles will have to be replaced, as for this thing, it is difficult to block even a wild deer, let alone any wild animals.

After returning to the RV, Zhang Chi remembered that there was one more important thing he hadn’t done, that is, the calf was already in place, and he had to put the stamp of his own ranch on the calf, otherwise if he ran to someone else It is not easy to find the pasture at home.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi got into the car and headed for the small town.

When Zhang Chi returned to the ranch, there was an extra plastic box in the car, which contained dry ice.

After returning, he rode directly on Chiyan Mountain, took a dry refrigerator and his own self-made soldering iron, and came to the side of the cattle.

Just as he was about to dismount, Zhang Chi found that Maverick turned around and ran away as soon as he saw him approaching.

Originally Zhang Chi thought how fast a half-grown calf could run?Who knew that these guys were not slow at all with their short legs.

Chasing after lunch time, Zhang Chi didn't even catch up with him.
