Little Life on An American Ranch: Chapter 491 borrow tripe

  Chapter 491 Borrowing tripe

Jian Heng and Sara chatted for less than half an hour, and there were a series of small questions in his mind. Originally, when he came to the bar, no one greeted him except Sara, at most they just nodded, but today It's different, Jian Heng stood here for a while, and six or seven groups of people came over and smiled at him.

  Seeing another old rancher baring his big white teeth at him, Jian Heng shivered subconsciously: "What's wrong with these people today!"

  Sara looked at Jian Heng and understood why such a sentence suddenly appeared.

  Looking at Sara's puzzled eyes, Jian Heng opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say anything, he saw Old Walsh swaying over on his old horse.

   "Jin!" The old man was still on his horse, so he raised his head and yelled at Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng also raised his hand, waved at him, and responded to the old man.

  Sara saw that her kung fu had come, she drank the wine in her hand, and said to Jian Heng: "I'll get the old man a glass of wine."

  Although the two were divorced, their relationship was pretty good, and they didn't blush.

  Jian Heng hummed, watched Sarah turn and leave and entered the bar, turned to look at Old Walsh who was bored watching the old man tie the horse, and walked in front of him.

   At this time, Sara came back and not only poured a glass of wine for the old Walsh, but also brought a new glass for Jian Heng.

   "Jin, is that Wu or something really your friend?" Old Walsh came up to take a sip of his wine, and then suddenly said something to Jian Heng.

   "Wu what? Are you talking about Yong-Wu?" Seeing Lao Wo humming, Jian Heng nodded, and asked with a puzzled face: "How do you know him?"

  Old Walsh said: "He came to look for me, not only for me, but also for many small and medium-sized ranchers nearby."

   "Why are you looking for you?" Jian Heng was even more puzzled when he heard what Old Walsh said. What is the connection between Wu Yongneng and these ranchers?

Old Walsh said: "It is said that it is going to rent our cows for artificial breeding. The first batch of 5,000 cows is planned. Now everyone is watching eagerly. The conditions are also good. The key is that they don't need ranchers to feed them. You only need to give birth to a calf, and you can earn the same income as raising a full-grown cow. You also know that last year’s snow caused many small and medium-sized pastures to suffer, so the plan launched by Wu is very attractive to everyone.”

  Jian Heng immediately understood when he heard it, and opened his mouth and said, "I said why when I arrived at the bar today, many people came to say hello to me. It turned out to be the reason."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Jian Heng understood that Wu Yong was planning to breed the golden-skinned cattle breed this spring. Jian Heng's eagerness was understandable, but wouldn't it be a bit strange to have 5,000 calves all at once? Too many children?

   "What do you think? Should I participate or not?" Old Walsh seemed a little uncertain, and asked Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng spread his hands and said, "I really don't know about this. Do you think this business is worthwhile?"

   "It's definitely a good deal, but I always feel a little confused and a little awkward," Old Walsh said.

   After thinking about it for a while, Jian Heng knew why Old Walsh couldn't figure it out. As an old-school rancher, someone like Walsh Sr. is used to having calves born and sold on his ranch every year. This matter is common to say, and most people don’t feel much about it. When you really become a rancher, the birth of a calf is accompanied by your joy. The calf is sold for a good price, which is a reward for your hard work. affim.

  The whole process is a process of the final harvest of labor. Suddenly, one link is missing, and the questions for the whole year are wrong.

In the hearts of the old cowboys on Old Walsh's side, they have to enjoy such a reincarnation every year. Now suddenly a person waved a banknote and said to lend us your cow belly for a year. Old cowboys like Old Walsh instinctively Some of them resisted, but they also understood that this was a good deal.

  Old Walsh had a choice, because he hardly suffered any damage in the blizzard last winter, and Jian Heng's silage blocked him and the Anderson's house, so now the old man has the opportunity to be hypocritical in front of Jian Heng.

   "There's nothing you don't understand. If you're willing, you can agree. If you're not, you can raise your own cattle." Jian Heng said.

Old Walsh opened his mouth and replied: "Sign the contract and you will get 30% of the income. If the embryo develops normally, there will be 20% after four or five months. Wait for the calf to be born, and get the rest at once. Fifty percent, under this condition, the pasture will be guaranteed for one year, and the grass has just been changed today, accepting it may make this year's life much easier."

  The old man's entanglement made Jian Heng a little confused.

The two were chatting here, and suddenly another old man stood beside him, in his seventies, he looked very healthy, tall about 1.9 meters, wearing a very old blue baseball cap on his head, his face His beard is quite long, about seven or eight centimeters.

   "Hi Gene, Old Wash".

   "Frank"

  Jin and Old Walsh greeted the old man at the same time. The relationship between the old man and Jian Heng could not be said to be good or not bad before, but it was precisely this relationship that could not be called good or bad that gave the old man a hand last winter.

   "What are you talking about?" Frank joined in and asked casually.

   "Ask about the conditions offered by Wu's company," Old Walsh said.

  Frank heard it and shrugged his shoulders relaxedly: "I don't need to worry about this at all, it's the best choice for me to accept."

Seeing Gene glanced at himself, Frank said: "I lost some last winter. Although I finally carried it over, I didn't lose as much as others, but I want to fight the price of beef in the next year? I really have no confidence. It's better to accept Wu's conditions, earn the money first, and then make plans after delaying it for a year."

When it came to the price of beef, none of the three present did not frown. Even Jian Heng, a rancher who does not rely on beef to make money, felt a little sad, because in the US market, the current price of beef is the same as that of ten years ago. The prices are almost the same. Considering the factors such as the depreciation of the US dollar in the past ten years, the net income of raising a cow now is 10% less than the net income of raising a cow in the past. Everything is rising, except for the prices of beef and mutton. For small and medium-sized ranchers, it can be said that life is becoming more and more difficult day by day.

  Especially in the United States, there is no restriction on land mergers and acquisitions, so many small and medium-sized ranchers have to withdraw in the end and hand over their land to more and more livestock factories.

  The old cowboys don’t want to accept all this, but they have nothing to do. The market determines the survival of the fittest, and your high cost is destined to be eliminated.

   "How much?" Jian Heng asked.

  Frank said: "I don't care how much, anyway, my contract has been signed, and the first payment has already been received. I just wait for those people to come to the door in a few days and transfer the embryos."

   "How many cows do you rent out?"

"Three hundred and thirty cows, all the cows are rented, except for a few in poor health. Besides me, three other ranchers have also signed. There are a total of eight or nine hundred cows in total. , if you have this plan, hurry up and sign it. If you are late, you may not be able to get the number of 5,000 heads. Besides, they still have the principle of proximity, the principle of profit management and so on. said Frank.

  Seeing Old Walsh looking at him, Jian Heng said, "Don't look at me, I can't control him, can I? All right, let me ask."

  I was also curious about this matter, so Jian Heng picked up the phone and called Wu Yong. This guy doesn't know where he is now, and he sounds very noisy.

  Jian Heng asked about raising cattle on his excuse, and then listened to Wu Yong talking. After three or four minutes, Jian Heng put down the phone.

   "If you want to, hurry up, he has already agreed to more than 5,000, and he is now selecting cows." Jian Heng said to Old Walsh.

  Originally, Lao Wo was still hesitant, but now he didn’t hesitate or get entangled. He directly called and informed himself that he wanted a quota, and reported the number of screening of more than 200 cows.

   This person is also weird, he gets tangled up when the number is large, and he gets excited when he sees someone robbing him.
