pasture leisure

Chapter 57
"Boss, I think you'd better look online to see if there are any horses that need rescue nearby. If there are horses that need rescue, we can rent a car and bring them back directly."

Cannon has a different view on buying horses.

Zhang Chi was slightly taken aback when he heard this: "The rescued horse...".

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chi came back to his senses, and patted his leg freely: "How did I forget about this?"

I can't ride an untrained horse, but who is Cannon?An old cowboy, it would be weird if he couldn't train a horse.

As for horses that need rescue, they are also common here.

Some ranches are poorly managed. Most of these ranches are tourist ranches that rely on tourists to survive. Once the number of visitors to these ranches is not enough to support the maintenance of the ranch, many ranchers will directly close the ranch.

Unemployed cowboys can find their way around, but horses can't.

These horses left in the pasture became a problem. Because of the fence, they will not run out of the pasture. After a long time, if no one maintains and trims the horseshoes, there will be problems with walking. If there is a problem with walking, it will naturally affect the health of the horses. healthy.

Once someone from an animal protection organization finds out, they will post a message on the Internet, informing people nearby to see if anyone wants a horse.

Horses may be regarded as assets in our country, but the situation in the western United States is quite different. You have the final say, some horses can indeed be sold at sky-high prices in the market.

It doesn’t matter if you say it or not, there is no problem here. The public ranch here is the ranch owned by the federal or the state. There are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of unwanted horses in the United States, which are left to fend for themselves.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look right away, I hope there are such horses nearby," Zhang Chi said, then turned and walked towards the house.

At the door, Zhang Chi remembered something, and said to Cannon: "I have a small room in my house, why not?"

Zhang Chi meant to let Cannon live in another small room in his house.

When Cannon heard this, he stretched out his finger to the small RV where Zhang Chi used to live: "Isn't there no one living here, I just live here."

"also!"

Zhang Chi thought for a while, then went into the room, took out his mobile phone and began to flip through the information on the Internet.

Not to mention, Zhang Chi soon found this message: There are a group of horses in Merck Town that need to be rescued. If you are interested, please call xxxxxxxx.

Looking down, I found that there is an introduction of horses. Although it is simple, most of the information is quite complete. There are photos of horses under each introduction.

There are still a lot of horses. Zhang Chi scrolled down the webpage and found that there are five or six horses in Dama, most of which are Quarter Horses, and one is a Pinto Horse.

There were actually a few ponies left.

The shoulder height of the pony is about one meter and one meter. This number is not listed, and the specific number of horses in the pasture is unknown.

Many people may think that ponies are quite expensive, but this is the United States, where all horse breeds from all over the world can be found here, and there are also specialized breeding institutions, so are ponies.

The appearance of this batch of ponies is not very good, mainly because the shoulder height is still too high for a pony.Of course, if it's a good pony, it's impossible for the rancher to just throw it away.

No need to ask, Zhang Chi guessed that these ponies were bought by the original rancher for tourists who brought their children.

"Cannon, let's go tomorrow morning."

After seeing the message, Zhang Chi called the number above, contacted the person, and agreed to go there tomorrow.

The ranch is not far from Zhang Chi's ranch, but it's not too close. It's about an hour's drive away.There is no way to go today, because at this point, it is impossible to rent a carriage.

With so many horses, Zhang Chi didn't plan to keep them, so he just transported them to his pasture in one litter.As for the other things, Zhang Chi didn't think much about it. For him, if such an advantage is not taken, he must have a brain problem.

"Is the road very far? If it's close, let's go directly, and I will ride back with a horse."

Kan Min took a look at his phone from his pocket and found that it was not too late. If they were within [-] kilometers, the two should be able to make it back before dark.

"It's not close, it will take about an hour to drive." Zhang Chi told Cannon the location over there.

After hearing this, Cannon replied: "It's not far away, why don't we go today, don't wait for tomorrow."

Zhang Chi said: "The main thing is that the car rental shop is about to close. We don't know if we can catch up now. Anyway, I don't care about this day or two."

Cannon understood now that his new boss did not have a carriage.

So Cannon said with a smile: "It's not easy, just ask someone nearby to borrow a car."

Hearing this, Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed, because he knew a lot of people nearby, but almost none of them were really familiar.

It seems a little inappropriate to ask someone to borrow something if you are not familiar with it.

The better one would be Mason, but Mason owns a racecourse, and he borrowed a carriage to transport other people's horses, which seemed a bit inappropriate.

It’s not that Zhang Chi is thin-skinned, but he now knows that he is not very popular in this area. Many people want to see his jokes, not to mention the working cowboys. Some of the ranchers are optimistic about him. Usually when I go to a small bar, I can hear them teasing in front of me.

The level of ridicule was not so great that Zhang Chi couldn't get angry, so he could only laugh and laugh.

Now let Zhang Chi ask these families to borrow a carriage?Where did Zhang Chi say that?

Cannon didn't think much about it. He continued to move his luggage and waited for the things in his hand to be put into the RV. He said to Zhang Chi, "Let me ask for you."

Hearing what Cannon said, Zhang Chi nodded immediately.

Cannon is much more familiar with this area than Zhang Chi. Seeing that Zhang Chi nodded, Cannon took out his mobile phone and dialed the number directly.

Within a few phone calls, Cannon settled the matter.

"Boss, the Boris family's car is idle now. My car has too little traction. Let's drive your car." Cannon put down the phone and yelled at Zhang Chi.

"Boris?" Zhang Chi was a little confused.

"His wife runs the little gas station in town," Cannon said.

Cannon thought Zhang Chi didn't know who Burris was.

Zhang Chi said: "I know, but...".

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Chi realized that his thinking was wrong. He thought that Burris was running a farm, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the main business of this Burris was raising sheep.

Sheep are not edible, of course they can be eaten, but they are mainly for wool, that is, long-haired sheep.

"Well, let's go quickly, go early and return early!"

Zhang Chi went back to the house and took the car keys.

Cannon also put down his work and didn't organize his own things, so the two drove towards Burris's ranch.

The Burris family's ranch is a bit far from Zhang Chi's ranch. Although they both live in a small town, there is still a distance of seven or eight miles.

It was the first time for Zhang Chi to come to Burris's ranch.

I have to say that the family’s ranch is much more stylish than Zhang Chi’s. First of all, the gate of the family is quite stylish. The gateposts are supported by four logs about three centimeters thick. There is a sheep's head of a horn sheep hanging on it, and the sheep's head is also decorated with five-color feathers, like the tail feathers of a young chicken, but it is not known whether it is real or fake.

There is a sign on the beam, which says Nordic Ranch.

According to Zhang Chi's understanding, Boris is not of Nordic descent, so he should be a lover of Nordic culture.

"Boris!"

At the gate, Cannon got out of the car and was about to make a phone call, but found that Burris was not far away from him, so he shouted at the top of his voice.

Boris heard the sound and walked towards the gate.

When Zhang Chi saw him coming, he also got out of the car.

"You guys came very quickly"

Burris said with a smile.

After shaking hands twice, Burris opened the door and let Cannon drive in.

When the car came in, Zhang Chi helped Boris close the door.

"George, your cattle are doing well."

Cannon drove the car to the warehouse of Burris's family, and Burris walked towards the warehouse with Zhang Chi. Before he had walked a few steps, Burris praised Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi didn't expect that Burris knew that his cattle were doing well.

"you know?"

"How is it possible not to know how big this place is? Everyone knows that the cattle on your ranch are very good," Burris said with a smile.

The small town is such a big place, and the people are so careless. Everyone knows who a mouse is marrying a wife, not to mention that the cattle in Zhangchi Ranch are strong and strong.

Originally, everyone was concerned about when Zhang Chi would play eggs, but now no one believes that George Ranch will play eggs. Not only will they not play eggs, but as long as the price of cattle does not fall too far this year, George Ranch will definitely make a lot of money of.

"Good luck".

Zhang Chi showed a 'honest' smile.

"Luck is also a part of life. People without luck must not be able to do a good job," Burris said with a smile.

Like others, Burris thought that Zhang Chi's ranch would not last for a few years, and he also looked down on Zhang Chi in his heart. These people were also malicious, because they thought a Chinese ran a ranch?Isn't that a joke, honestly be your doctor, is it not good to be your lawyer, you can't play this!

But now Zhang Chi has proved with his own strength that not only can we do it, but we can also do it very well.

Everything is fake, only strength is true, and for all ranchers, the only way to prove their strength is to run the ranch well.

Now that Zhang Chi has proved that he is a good rancher, other ranchers will naturally have a better opinion of Zhang Chi. Of course, Zhang Chi's complexion cannot be washed away.

But here in the United States, all your identity and strength come from your pocket, not your skin color.

As long as you have enough money, let alone Zhang Chi, a Chinese, even if he is from North Korea, the American society will look at him differently.

Zhang Chi has not yet felt that the ranchers on this land are accepting themselves, instead of simply wanting to see his jokes as before.

We chatted about the ranch, and of course the most important thing is the market. After chatting about cattle and sheep, the two came to the warehouse door.

The warehouse of Burris’s family is naturally larger than that of Zhang Chi’s ranch, and the forage storage and machinery storage are separated. The storage not only has a trailer for transporting livestock, but also a tractor, a drag mower and a baler, There's even a crawler tractor.

There are two most important things in the ranch, one is pasture, and the other is these machines.

Equipment like Burris can only be said to be average, like larger pastures, more than four to five thousand acres of pastures, and some even have private agricultural aircraft.
