pasture leisure

Chapter 69

The whole bar was noisy, and these guys are really dirty. If these people understand the essence of Greater China's swearing culture, they might be able to buy a bar that doesn't have to be closed. It's a pity that they don't, so turn over Those few sentences came and went, Zhang Chi's ears were almost callused.

After drinking two bottles of beer, while listening to swearing and watching the news on TV, Zhang Chi got up, paid for the drinks and left the small bar, ready to ride home on his horse.

"Hey, George!"

As soon as he went out, he saw a cowboy going in. When Zhang Chi turned sideways, he was greeted by him.

Zhang Chi also said hello to others, and then walked towards Chiyan Mountain.

At this moment, Chiyanshan had eaten up all the fodder in front of him, and was just playing boredly with the stakes. When he saw his master came out, he knew he was going home, so he snorted a few times happily, and tapped lightly Touch the ground to express your joy.

Zhang Chi untied Chi Yanshan's reins, reached out and patted the horse's neck twice: "Your boy is very happy all day long, and you don't have to worry about the market at all. I'm going to be worried to death."

He said he was so sad, but Zhang Chi's face was full of smiles.

After communicating with his horse, Zhang Chi turned on the horse's back.

One person and one horse wobbled towards the pasture.

Riding a horse, Zhang Chi did not take the main road, but walked slowly along the bridle path of the town. In fact, the distance between the two paths is about the same, but the bridle path is quieter, and there are no cars on the bridle path. The road is safer.

"I came from the mountains with orchid grass, planted in the garden...".

Humming a little song softly, Zhang Chi sat on the horse and swayed a little.

The current price of live cattle is unsatisfactory, but Zhang Chi will make money no matter how he sells it, so he hopes that the price of live cattle will rise, but the current price is not unacceptable, so this little mood does not look like those ranches in the bar The masters are broken.

Xiao Qu'er hummed over and over again, just a few words back and forth, Chi Yanshan seemed to be enjoying the present time, the little horse's hooves stepped on the horse path, making a crisp clicking sound.

The bridle paths are all dirt roads, but they have been hardened, that is, rolled over, and the soil is mixed with small stones. Even when it rains, it is not so muddy. Now when riding a horse on it, the sound made by the horseshoe and these small stones, It is very pleasant in the quiet night.

There was no one else except Zhang Chi and Chi Yanshan along the way, so Zhang Chi hummed a little song all the way to the gate of his ranch.

Just as he pushed open the door, he was leading Chiyan Mountain to walk in when suddenly Zhang Chi's cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Melika who was calling.

Zhang Chi felt very strange, thinking why this little girl called him.

"Hello".

Zhang Chi greeted him directly with a smile.

Melika didn't know Zhang Chi's politeness, so she said directly, "Are you selling cattle this year?"

"Sell it, why not sell it. Is there any good channel for you?" Zhang Chi thought for a while and said.

Melika directly denied this, and she said: "If you want to sell cattle, I can help you. I will give you [-] yuan for the bulls in your ranch. If you think it is too low, you can pay more. , but at least five thousand more, it has to be... ".

"Forget it."

Zhang Chi understood that this little girl wanted to come over and take advantage of himself, how many bulls?

It’s already a big bull now, okay? When the spring comes next year, these bulls will be sent to the auction. In any case, there must be a price worth tens of thousands of dollars. It depends on what Zhang Chi plans to do next. Now at this price Isn't Zhang Chi's brain sick to sell to her?

Melika felt that her bid was already very good.

In fact, it is also very good. Five to sixty thousand dollars to buy a heifer that has not yet fully grown is already considered a fairly reasonable price, because as long as the heifer is not fully grown, it is a gamble.

Yes, a breeder can sell for a lot of money, but not all breeders can be sold at a high price. Don’t look at hundreds of thousands or even millions of breeders appearing in the news from time to time, but what is it to be on the news? probability?
Selling for hundreds of thousands or more, all you need is the right time, place and people, and generally you won't have such a high price.

And these breeds of bulls can be sold for specific cattle. There are millions of this level, many of which are longhorn cattle. This is a unique breed of longhorn cattle in the United States. It is difficult for other cattle to have such a price.

Generally speaking, the price of a breeding bull is in the range of [-] to [-] yuan, and a hundred thousand yuan is an excellent breeding bull. Based on what Melika has seen before, she does not think that the price of the bulls in Zhangchi Ranch A few Gascons can fetch that price.

But Melika didn't know that Zhang Chi had a gourd. If he hadn't been careful, he could have made her a Gascony weighing more than [-] pounds now.

Therefore, the price that Melika thought was reasonable was not a problem at all in Zhang Chi's eyes.

"Think about it, the price I gave is quite a bargain." Melika decided to remind Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi felt that this little girl was trying to trick him, so he said directly: "Thank you, but there is no need."

Melika was a little speechless, she was full of confidence before the call, and it was exactly as Zhang Chi thought, Melika just wanted to earn some money from Zhang Chi.

But Zhang Chi was not as good as she wanted. When Zhang Chi wanted to buy a cow before, Zhang Chi refused. Now she wanted to buy but was rejected, which made her very dissatisfied.

Melika thought it was good, and she knew how many bulls and cows there were in Zhang Chi's ranch. Even if he sold all the bulls that could be sold, the ranch would have to spend a few months in the future In winter, there is also a lot of pressure on Zhang Chi's ranch. At this time, I am equivalent to sending carbon in the snow. Who would have thought that this Asian would not show face!

Melika didn't know that Zhang Chi couldn't pile up the fodder in the warehouse now, and there was a pile of tarpaulin covers outside, and he sold a hundred or so cows. This winter was just like playing.

At the end of the phone call, the two of them broke up a bit unhappy.

But the phone call didn't affect Zhang Chi's mood, and he returned to the ranch cheerfully.

At this time, Cannon’s work had just come to an end, and he was sitting under the porch drinking coffee to digest his food. Now that the grass had been harvested, it wasn’t too much work for Cannon.

"Boss, what's the price?" Cannon asked immediately when Zhang Chi came back.

"It's not good." Zhang Chi got off the horse and began to unsaddle Chi Yanshan.

"Then let's wait a little longer?" Cannon said.

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Chi shook his head and said: "Don't wait, let's sell a batch first, let's buy [-] head, and build the cowshed first."

On the way back, he was thinking about this matter, and now he decided to sell a batch of cows to restore the blood to the pasture. Let’s not talk about anything else, the snow will come down soon, and he must finish finishing the cowshed, otherwise Dozens of cows are thrown in the heavy snow, isn't that a crime?

"Why don't you buy the brown bull first, and Gascony wait a little longer," Cannon suggested.

Brown cattle are mixed cattle, the price is [-] yuan per kilogram, Gascony is more expensive, and the price per bull is slightly more than [-] yuan.

"Sell Gascony".

Gascony just picked it up. Zhang Chi spent money to buy those brown bulls at an auction, and they didn't earn as much as Gascony from selling them.

Cannon had doubts in his mind, but he didn't express any opinions. BOSS sold whatever he said, he just kept his cowboy's duty.

"Will the cattle be replenished at the beginning of next spring?" Cannon asked.

Based on his current understanding, a batch of calves should be added to the pasture at the beginning of spring next year, because the capacity of the pasture is far beyond his expectation. If the calves are not replenished, a lot of pasture will be wasted. Of course it can also be sold, but we are a cattle ranch, not a forage ranch. Don’t look at the pasture that sells for more than [-] per ton now, but that’s not the price your ranch sells. The company that operates the forage can’t make money?No money for shipping?
So it's another thing to sell grass fodder on pastures, and you haven't measured it yet, so you can't sell more than two hundred tons.

"Let's see when the time comes." Zhang Chi really wanted to continue to harvest the wool from the California ranch, but Zhang Chi felt that these people might not be able to sell the calf to him next year.

Nothing to say but a feeling.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Chi went back to the house, and Cannon continued to work for a while, and went back to the house to rest.

Waking up early the next morning, Zhang Chi and Cannon rode horses together, walked into the herd and began picking calves.

"Pick out and sell the thinner ones," Zhang Chi said to Cannon.

Cannon nodded and started to drive away with Zhang Chi. Of course, it was Cannon who was driving Zhang Chi to help.

To separate the cows from the herd, it is a little troublesome for Cannon alone. As for Zhang Chi who is helping next to him, he can only be said to be a human head, but he has no real ability at all.

"Boss, you will stand there later. After the herd starts to move, you can just block the route of the cows towards the herd. I will do the rest of the work..." Cannon and Zhang Chi said as they spoke. Gestures with hands.

Zhang Chi nodded to show that he understood.

If you understand it, you understand it, but after getting started, Zhang Chi was in a hurry. If it weren't for Cannon's help, the cows that were driven out would have returned to the herd long ago.

After driving more than a dozen cows and driving them into the fence, Zhang Chi felt a little embarrassed, and said to Cannon: "My skills are really bad."

Cannon laughed and said: "It's already very good. Most people are not as good as you when they do this job for the first time. After a long time, you will know where the cattle will go. If you have a prediction in your heart, you will much better".

Zhang Chi's level is stink, but Cannon didn't say anything, not only because Zhang Chi is the boss, but also because he wanted to drive the cow well the first time, and the cowboy was too easy to be.

Who is not a skill that has been practiced for many years.

Zhang Chi felt that Cannon was comforting himself, and made up his mind that he must practice hard.

The two drove the calves into the pen, closed the gate of the pen, and prepared to continue driving the next group of calves.
