The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 73 73. Taming the Bull

Lin Feng asked first: "Before this, should we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

Charlie and David said in unison.

Lin Feng: "If I tame this cow, I will deduct this month's salary from you."

David laughed.

"Wait, what are they doing?"

Everyone followed Lin Feng's gaze and saw that two yellow and white horses were walking towards the cowshed carrying a bundle of grass.

I forgot to put that bundle of grass into the warehouse yesterday.

Even the cows know how to make enough food and clothing by yourself.

"Okay uncle, you can continue."

"I have to show some real skills, otherwise I will be looked down upon by you."

Old David threw away the gun, unbuttoned his coat and wore only the vest and shirt underneath, and put on his signature dark brown sunglasses.

He called Huang Piao and jumped onto the horse's back neatly. Judging from his skillful movements, he didn't look like an old man who was almost sixty years old at all.

David leaned down and muttered a few words next to Huang Qiao, and then slowly began to approach the big man who had already assumed an attack posture.

"What did he just say to the horse?" Lin Feng asked.

Charlie shook his head, equally confused.

The big man over there was a full circle bigger than the yellow gelding, and he was standing on the grass with his head down, breathing heavily.

Wayne wanted to come over to help, but David stopped him.

David pointed to the sheep at the far end, meaning to keep them out of the way.

Wayne ran away wisely, and Lin Feng and Charlie rode close to him, ready to watch the bull-taming competition up close.

David held a rope with a slipknot in his hand, raised it above his head and tried to spin it a few times.

At this time, he looked like a typical western cowboy in the movie, with a very retro feel.

David made a silent gesture, and then led Huang Qiao to slowly approach the big man and circle around.

The latter was well prepared, always pointing his head at him, and at the same time kicking the ground with his right front foot, ready to rush to the peak at any time!

David suddenly tightened his grip on the horse's belly, and at the same time jerked the reins on the right side. Huang Qiao rushed out in one stride, and quickly circled behind the big man!

In his hands, Huang Piao was like a well-tuned car, with acceleration, deceleration, steering and U-turn all under control.

Lin Feng took out his mobile phone to record this wonderful scene.

The big guy was not a vegetarian either. He chased Huang Qiao and tried to knock it over with his head.

Although there are no horns, the huge head is still very powerful. Coupled with the inertia of the 700 kilograms, a person who is hit will probably stay in bed for several days.

"I'm here!"

For a while, Huang Piao kept the same speed as it, but Huang Piao was still better. Soon, under David's command, he circled behind the big guy again!

After all, with a weight of more than 700 kilograms, the cow's steering is much inferior to that of a horse, and it staggered and almost fell!

"He wanted to use up the big man's energy to stun it. Huang Qiao is a good horse, and the old man is a good cowboy."

Watching this passionate scene made Joey's heart itch, and he kept feeling restless under Lin Feng's crotch.

Within a few rounds, the big guy was provoked to the point of gasping for breath. In order to save its energy, it began to retreat instead of advance.

Old David remained calm, increasing the frequency of detours and continuing to consume the opponent.

The nerves of cattle are relatively sensitive, and the yellow gelding running back and forth gives it a sense of teasing, which in turn stimulates the nerves of the cow and makes it go crazy.

Once you go crazy, your physical strength will be consumed exponentially. After a few rounds, the big guy couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't keep up with Huang Piao's still flexible pace. He fell down!

At the moment when the big guy struggled to stand up, Old David saw the right moment and threw the rope, accurately hitting its head!

Next, David did not tighten the rope and start walking the cow. Instead, he threw the rope directly, which surprised Lin Feng.

Taming a wild horse usually starts with roping the rope, tightening the rope to make it uncomfortable and giving up resistance.

David was very excited and waved to Lin Feng and Charlie, and then asked Huang Piao to run behind the big man.

"What does this old guy want to do?"

Lin Feng couldn't guess the old man's next move.

David approached the big guy and circled it twice. At this time, most of the cow's energy was gone, and its reaction was slow.

Seeing the right opportunity, David rode up to him from behind, then pressed Huang Piao's neck with one hand, and grabbed the rope with the other hand and jumped directly onto the big man's back!

This move shocked Lin Feng!

It's very dangerous. If you miss it, you'll probably break your bones if it falls directly to the ground.

Moreover, the big body is a bit taller than an ordinary cow, and its back is wider. When you ride on it, your legs can't even touch the cow's belly.

And there is no saddle on the cow, so he only relies on holding on to the rope around the cow's neck to maintain balance.

The big man tried his best to throw David off, twisting his hips and jumping, but David showed his unique skill. He even let go of one hand and only used the other hand to hold the rope to maintain balance.

This requires good skills. Although the twisting range of the big guy is not as violent as those of the bulls used in official competitions, it is still enough to worry in Lin Feng's eyes.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and David successfully calmed the cow down.

After resisting for a minute, it finally lost strength and calmly accepted the man on its back.

"If it had been 40 years ago, I wouldn't have needed such a long time at all."

"BOSS, do you want to try it?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Charlie?"

Charlie gave a thumbs up, "You win."

David was satisfied and raised his hands as if he were a winner.

The sword is still young, and he perfectly demonstrated his rodeo skills. Lin Feng jokingly asked if he wanted to participate in the Karen Bull Riding Competition.

David said he wanted to give opportunities to young people and that he had stayed away from the arena.

The big guy needs to live in a single room, and breeding is not something he can do if he wants to. Charlie will make a plan when the time comes.

The next business goal of the ranch is to fatten calves, which can usually be slaughtered after ten months of age.

According to the current month of the first batch of calves, it will take another four months or so to send the first batch to the slaughterhouse next spring. The premise is that a single cow must weigh at least 500 kilograms.

There is no need to worry about this. The calf bought from the Cassidy family is now a full circle, and its growth rate is obviously higher than the average level.

The recording form Charlie made for each cow has now added more than two hundred cows, enough to keep him busy for a while.

The ranch is much busier than before, which also means that the workload has doubled.

Lin Feng's drone has its uses. He can leisurely bask in the sun in the yard and observe the condition of the cattle through the screen. This is the convenience that modern technology brings to the ancient industry.

Usually, the three dog brothers take care of the pasture. They are very dedicated and run around the pasture tirelessly all day long, managing the cattle and sheep obediently.

Regarding the acquisition of land, relevant departments in Helena have not responded.

Lin Feng analyzed that his status as a foreigner made the city hall more cautious, but it didn't matter. He had already made two preparations and kept an eye on the operating conditions of the surrounding ranches to see if anyone wanted to sell the land before the cold winter. Then he could let Charlie Go talk to the ranchers.

Charlie is an expert in this area, and Lin Feng knows that he has this ability.
