The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 75 75. The God of War among the Bulls

Originally, Lin Feng planned to visit Serenity Meadow after the Karen Bull Riding Competition. During this time, all his energy was focused on preparing for the horse race.

Now he and Joey have a perfect tacit understanding, and they have reached the point where they can communicate spiritually. Joey knows what to do without Lin Feng tightening the reins or clamping the horse's belly.

The morning after Charlie brought two pieces of news, "one good and one bad", Lin Feng was taking Joey to make final preparations at the ranch.

He planned to give Joey a two-day break after training today, just like before the college entrance examination, the school sent students home a week early.

As a result, at around ten o'clock in the morning, David told Lin Feng through the intercom that a car was parked at the gate and asked if he could come in.

Lin Feng thought that this visitor was unusual. The ranch had no actual gate, so it was a virtual presence. People like Cassidy or the Animal Husbandry Committee drove directly to the wooden villa, and few people would wait at the gate for the owner's permission.

After learning that the visitor was the eldest son of the owner of Tranquility Meadow, Lin Feng became suspicious.

I just calculated their land yesterday and came to visit them today.

This is inevitably too coincidental.

"David, let him in, I'm in front of the red house."

The red house is a wooden villa.

After a while, a car drove over. It was a worn-out and old Chevrolet. It felt like it was about to be scrapped.

The man who came down introduced himself as Nicholas McClung, the eldest son of the Serenity Meadow rancher.

Nicholas said the surprise visit was for a cow at Lakeside Ranch.

"My cow?" Lin Feng didn't know.

Nicholas said helplessly: "Yes sir, a dark bull with the number 56 printed on it broke into our pasture and killed four bulls in succession. Now the black guy is feeling the body temperature of the cow in the cowshed. .”

"I called the Animal Husbandry Committee, and they told me that 56 is the number of Lakeside Ranch, so..." Nicholas spread his hands.

I also showed Lin Feng the photo and confirmed that it was the big guy.

Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and apologized quickly.

Then he took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Uncle David, go see if the big guy is still at the ranch."

"receive."

A reply came quickly, "BOSS, I haven't seen it yet. I went to look for it in the woods. Maybe it is having a tryst with a cow. Big guys often do this."

When the weather gets cold, cows like to huddle together in the woods to keep warm, or they find a place to bask in the sun by a quiet lake.

Lin Feng: "There's no need to look for it. It's in the Quiet Grassland and has gone to someone else's pasture to destroy the cow. Come to the cabin right away and follow me to bring the big guy back."

David was surprised and immediately rode back without asking.

After a while, I saw him riding Huang Qiao and running wildly. Now he carries a rifle on his back during working hours.

This is Lin Feng's request. If any unknown person breaks into the ranch, he can shoot directly. If there is a problem, he will be responsible.

His right eyelid always twitches when he wakes up in the morning these days. He is not a superstitious person, but it never hurts to be on guard.

When they first took over, the Ron brothers came to look for trouble, and it was quiet for more than two months. Lin Feng didn't think they would stop here, especially now that the ranch has a certain scale, they need to take precautions.

David came back, Lin Feng gave a brief introduction to the two of them, and Nicholas repeated the big man's glorious deeds.

"BOSS, let's not let it have contact with the cow for the time being. It must have been suppressed before it escaped." David couldn't help laughing.

What he said should be the truth. During this period, it was particularly popular for big guys to live in single rooms.

It's like putting a man among women but not letting him get started, and you can only watch helplessly every day.

This was all Charlie's idea, for scientific breeding. It's okay now, the big guy went straight out to intercept the road.

When Charlie learned about this, he couldn't laugh or cry, saying that he had overestimated the big man's willpower.

Driving to Serenity Meadow Ranch, all the facilities here are simple. The water tower is rusty and has probably been out of use for a long time. The house is also very dilapidated and looks like it was built two centuries ago.

There were barely a few grasses visible in the pasture, and a large area of ​​the ground was bare. A dozen cows were wandering aimlessly on it, not very energetic.

This season is when the pasture turns from green to yellow. After Christmas, the pasture basically turns into yellow.

Alfalfa does not die during the winter, but it does go dormant.

The above-ground parts of alfalfa will wither, but the underground parts can generally survive the winter safely and will regrow new plants in the next spring.

The grass here is obviously not normal.

Nicholas frowned and said: "Two months ago, the pasture suffered from disease and it rotted in the soil. We are worried about this matter."

If there is no grass growing in the pasture, you can buy finished forage, but that is a big expense.

Lin Feng's suspicion was verified, they almost couldn't do it anymore.

However, the old rancher was very kind and invited Lin Feng and David into the house. The table was already set with food produced by their family.

After entering the house, Lin Feng quickly looked around. Seven members of the McClure family were crowded into this small house.

In addition to old McClun, there are also his eldest son's family and his younger son's family. The two women have sad faces. It is estimated that no one will be happy with their life like this.

Old McLean was in good spirits.

He also joked, "Lin, your black bull defeated the strongest bull here. According to the laws of nature, all the cows belong to it."

Lin Feng smiled, turned around and nodded to David, "After all the cows are driven away, they will be ours."

His words relaxed the atmosphere in the room, and the two women smiled.

Let's go see the cow first. Lin Feng is more concerned about the big guy's current situation.

Nicholas took them to the cowshed, where the big man was munching grass leisurely.

Lin Feng looked at Zhile and thought that if he only had such a small amount of dry food to survive the winter, he would eat it all.

It could be seen that Nicholas' heart was bleeding, but he was embarrassed to say it.

There were a few bulls in the bullpen, but they all stayed away from the big guys, probably because they had been beaten up before.

"I will double compensation for your losses." Lin Feng's words were rich and powerful.

Nicholas smiled naively and said it was all trivial, but Lin Feng would definitely give them some mental compensation, otherwise he would feel bad about it.

David whistled, and the big man slowly got up and walked this way.

Several bulls in the bullpen were rushing to run out as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

Nicholas was helpless, "It's like Attila, the whip of God. Our cattle have no power to resist it."

Attila was a famous Hunnic leader in history. He once led the Hunnic army across Europe and defeated the Western Roman Empire in name only.

Nicholas said that the most difficult animals to manage in the pasture are bulls, especially those that are losing weight.

Cows are relatively docile and peaceful, while bulls are violent and aggressive.

The two ranches were several kilometers apart, and they had to bypass a swamp in the middle. Lin Feng was wondering how the big man found this place so accurately.

"The XING hormone in cow urine will float in the air to nearby pastures. Bulls' noses are sharper than dogs. They can smell the very small amount of cow hormone in the air."

It seems that Nicholas is very knowledgeable and even knows these unpopular things.

David suddenly realized it. He said that when he opened the door to the cattle pen in the morning, he saw the big man grinning, and it turned out that there was a way.
