Chapter 393 Horses in the Pasture
When he arrived at the ranch, Zhuang Haiyang naturally did not start a group, but ate with the employees hired by the ranch. Considering that Zhuang Haiyang and his party had different identities, Will also specifically instructed the chefs he hired to fry them relatively expensive steaks.
But when I looked at these fried steaks, Hong Wei and others still felt uncomfortable. In the eyes of Chinese people, beef is the best for stewing potatoes. This fried steak always tastes soulless.
As if seeing the helplessness of the crowd, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "We will start our own family tonight. Then we will work hard for my sister-in-law. If you need something, just let Will buy it. I don't get used to this food either."
"Okay! I looked at it before. The kitchen tools in the room are quite complete, just prepare some vegetables and meat."
Lin Xin had no objection to the position of chef. Since she decided to come to the ranch to celebrate the Spring Festival, she naturally had to find something to do. If she didn't know anything else, it would be fine to cook.
After arranging these things, Zhuang Haiyang also asked everyone to take a lunch break as usual. It was not important to have a lunch break. Even if you sleep on the plane, the jet lag still needs to be adapted and adjusted.
After getting up, Zhuang Haiyang changed into relatively refreshing clothes, looked at his girlfriend who was also getting up and said, "Princess, wait until you stay at home, should you accompany me to the ranch?"
"Go outside! If you cook, you probably won't need to be so early."
"Well! It's OK, by the way, go and have any good suggestions for our new home plan."
As they called on other people who had been rising one after another, Zhuang Haiyang and his party walked directly to the ranch where beef cattle was raised. Looking at the beef cattle walking on the pasture, everyone also felt that the ranch was much more angry than the previous time.
Jenuk, who was traveling with him, also said at the right time: "Boss, according to your instructions, we purchased 200 breeding cattle this time, and currently 128 are conceived. The remaining 360 calfs are in good condition."
"Well! When the first batch of calves are born, the number of beef cattle on our ranch will also increase. In your experience, how many beef cattle can our ranch grow? I mean, without harming the pasture."
"In terms of the area of our ranch and pasture, we can supply thousands of beef cattle. However, the number should be controlled within two thousand. If we give up breeding of beef cattle, it will be less than a big problem."
Listening to what Jenuk said, Zhuang Haiyang nodded and said, "With the high-quality grass planted on our ranch, I believe that the quality of the beef cattle raised should be very good. In order to ensure that the grassland is not damaged, we should take the fine route.
As far as I know, there are currently many Angus cattle breeding in major ranches around the world. The price of this beef cattle varies greatly depending on the quality of the meat. When the first batch of beef cattle are slaughtered, people can also be asked to do an appraisal and strive to sell them at a high price."
"Yes, boss, I'm very confident about this. In fact, several other pastures on the island that breed beef cattle have learned that our pasture has cultivated high-quality pasture and hope to introduce it. However, I suggest that it's better to digest it internally."
For ranchers, good forage often means high added value benefits. Under normal circumstances, no one is too stupid to sell high-quality forage to make money. Jenook has this idea, which is actually normal.
Zhuang Haiyang also agreed: "This is natural! In the later stage of the pasture, a forage processing plant will be built. In addition to the currently breeding animals, some other varieties will be added. The number does not need to be large, but there can be more breeding species."
With such a large piece of pasture, many valleys and land are actually idle. In Zhuang Haiyang's view, if it is planned, more animals can be raised. He believes that the pasture of the pasture can also be supplied.
Will, who is specialized in cultivating, planting and harvesting forage, has recently discovered something. The grass growth rate has been significantly accelerated in the forage planting areas with drip irrigation systems. This means that the grass can be harvested will also increase.
In addition to land used for specialized planting forage, the growth rate of grass in other free-range pasture areas in the pasture seems to have improved. As long as there is no large increase in breeding of animals, the grass planted on the pasture is self-sufficient enough.
Looking at the cowboys grazing on the ranch, Zhuang Haiyang also said in time: "How many horses have the ranch purchased? Are these horses docile? Do you think the ranch can cultivate some high-quality horses?"
"Boss, do you want to raise horse racing?"
When Jenuk heard Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, his first reaction was that the boss wanted to raise high-quality horses for competition. But as a cowboy, he knew very well that the cost of converting the ranch into a horse farm would be more expensive than raising cattle.
Fortunately, what made him breathe a sigh of relief was that Zhuang Haiyang shook his head and said, "Although I don't know how to raise horses, I know that the cost of raising good horses is very high. I have no interest in this, but I just hope that there are a few good horses on the ranch.
In this way, I will be able to occasionally ride out for a walk in the pastures in the future. As far as I know, your purebred horses in Nucilai are still very popular in the international market. In the past two years, I am afraid there are many purebred horses exported to our country, right?"
"Yes, boss! It's just purebred horses, most of which are cultivated from well-known horse farms. Since I was a child, I have needed special people to train them. The horses I bought are still riding. They are definitely a little worse for competitions."
For local residents living in the South Island, most of them can ride horses. However, with the popularity of vehicles, many people are accustomed to driving rather than riding horses when going out. However, working on the ranch, they are more willing to ride horses.
"Well! Wait, you will lead a horse to me. I want to try the feeling of riding a horse. Don't worry, I will still be able to ride a horse!"
"Of course there is no problem! In fact, there are two good horses in the horse farm, just for the boss."
When Zhuang Haiyang heard about this, he became interested soon. Under the leadership of Jenuk, everyone quickly came to the horse shed. For the cowboys who hired to work in the ranch, most of them were their own exclusive horse herds.
Looking at the two tall horses locked in the horse shed in front of him, Zhuang Haiyang also seemed interested. The little girl holding her father's arms looked a little scared when she looked at the two big horses, but her eyes were still full of curiosity.
Jenuk, who was standing next to him, also said at the right time: "Boss, these two horses were purchased from the pasture that specializes in the horse farm. Although they are not called top-notch horse racing, their bloodline is still very pure."
"This horse looks really good! But don't you usually ride it out for a walk or something?"
"This is natural! But compared to other horses, we rarely ride these two horses to work. Every day I will tell the employees to take them out for a walk. In this way, we can ensure their riding status."
Listening to Jenuk's introduction, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Does this dark horse have a name?"
"Yes! We all call it the Dark Horse Prince. If the boss likes it, you can also name it."
The two horses raised in the horse shed, one with a pure black fur and the other with a red and yellow fur. Judging from the horse's fur color, these two horses are well managed. They look very handsome.
"Prince of Dark Horse! This name is not bad! Where is this horse?"
"Firefox! Because its fur color is very similar to that of a fox, we gave it this name."
"Not bad! Then can I try it?"
"Of course! I just suggest that the boss can develop feelings with it first. Although both horses have been trained and have a relatively docile temperament. But they are still more vigilant and resistant to strangers."
"Ok! You said it right! What should I do?"
"There are the fruits and forage we purchase here. The boss can feed it. If it does not reject the boss's touch, it should accept your riding. If the boss has time, you can also come over to feed it from time to time, or ride it for a walk."
Zhuang Haiyang did not refuse Jenuk's suggestion. Under the guidance of the other party, Zhuang Haiyang, like a child, began to feed these two horses specially prepared for him. The other yellow horse, which I think was also prepared for his girlfriend.
Jenuk, who seems to have a rough personality, seems to be quite careful now. At least he knows that while trying to please the boss, he cannot forget the woman around the boss. It seems that he also knows that the boss wants to please, and the boss’s wife needs to please him even more.
Facing the approaching Zhuang Haiyang, the black horse was somewhat repelled and retreated from time to time. However, as Zhuang Haiyang was moving, the black horse quickly calmed down, actively stretched its head and began to eat the food fed by Zhuang Haiyang.
Seeing this scene, Jenuk was a little surprised. The more noble the horses of noble bloodline, the more arrogant the personality. And these two horses took a lot of effort to gain their trust.
In contrast, the same eager to try, Li Zixian was not recognized by Huang Ma. She kept shaking her head, and even felt a little embarrassed, threatening Li Zixian and sniffing.
Just as Jenuk was about to step forward, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said, "Princess, let's come together! Don't worry, people know good horses, and good horses also know people. I believe that it will accept you! The premise is that you must really like it."
"Yeah! I'll work hard!"
What surprised others was that some of the yellow horses who rejected Li Zixian were not opposed to Zhuang Haiyang. When Zhuang Haiyang held Li Zixian's hand and handed the food to Huang Ma's mouth, Huang Ma finally stopped resisting so much.
Under Zhuang Haiyang's instructions, Concubine Li also began to touch the yellow horse's hair. The yellow horse was eating, and looked at Concubine Li with huge gazes, but in the end she still didn't dodge. However, if she wanted to ride, she had to learn how to ride a horse first.
In fact, they would not ride horses, including Wang Yanming and Hong Wei. When Zhuang Haiyang said that he could ride such a horse. As long as he rode on a horse, it would be not that easy for any horse to throw him off.
