Chapter 11 Adding Property

"Josh, maybe you know now that I have become a rancher, maybe you can provide me with some advice." Wei Da bought the ranch and showed off his experience with the 'predecessors'. Although he does have some magical skills, to be honest, Wei Da knows nothing about ranch management and so on.

"Wei, you need cowboys, professional and experienced cowboys. I may recommend two good cowboys to you, and they can help you." Of course, Josh also knew that Wei Da has bought a ranch now, and he enthusiastically recommended the more famous cowboys to Wei Da at this time.

Wei Da is definitely not a person who can't listen to advice. Even if he has magical powers now, he listens honestly to the opinions of professionals. The weather is too dry now, and the ranch is relatively small, so he can't raise too many cattle, as that will only destroy the potential of the ranch.

In traditional ranches, many times, experienced cowboys are needed. Old Simon and his son are both cowboys. Old Simon's weekly salary reaches nearly 400 US dollars, which means a monthly salary of nearly 1,500 US dollars; while Little Simon's weekly salary is 300 US dollars because his experience is not rich enough. Of course, the two of them can't take care of the ranch. In addition, a relatively reliable Tim introduced by Old Simon, the three cowboys are completely enough.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the old Simon and his son, one hundred cattle and three hundred sheep are a very reasonable choice; and nowadays, cattle and sheep are all cubs, and their appetite is relatively small, which can ensure that the grass on their own ranch can be supplied. This is no joke, and many ranchers are dragged down on the forage.

In Texas, the density of cattle raised is also particular; the density of one cattle on ten acres is normal, and a high-quality ranch with five acres is normal. Weida's ranch is still relatively average now, with one hundred cattle and three hundred sheep reaching the limit. This is based on the guarantee of Weida, a relatively excellent feed expert, otherwise Simon would recommend that the rancher be more conservative. This is the first time that the rancher Weida has managed a ranch. Be careful to take every step and accumulate experience is the best choice.

The cowboys were in place, and the ranch was also constantly adding some necessary equipment when Old Simon saw him, so the next step was to buy cattle and sheep. Wei Da would definitely choose meat lamb and beef cattle to eat by himself, because these are economical value.

One hundred cows and three hundred sheep, although they are cubs, this is not cheap. Wei Da is also ready to pay; and there are still many new ranches that need to be prepared, pickup trucks, trailers, tractors, which are definitely needed. And now you have to raise livestock, fences, cow pens, etc. Wei Da actually wants to buy an irrigation system, but it is obvious that he does not have the financial resources now. When the rain is full, there is naturally no pressure to have a lot of grass, and it is not good news when it is too dry.

Beef beef and sheep are naturally Wei Da's choice. Brahmin cattle and Boer goats should be the main choices for Texas pastures; but Wei Da seems not to be like this. He chose Angus cattle. You should know that although Angus cattle are absolutely mainstream among beef cattle, Angus cattle that resists cold in weather like Texas is useless for heroes, and they need to be fed carefully.

"Old Simon, believe me, maybe you know that I am an excellent animal nutritionist, and my professional skills allow me to ensure the healthy growth of these calves. You don't need to worry about anything, I can prepare the best feed for them." Old Simon was furious and was very dissatisfied with this new owner, and even wanted to quit directly at one point; but under Wei Da's continuous comfort, Old Simon chose to believe Wei Da.

Old Simon is an old cowboy, and his temper is quite hot and direct; if it weren't for the comfort of his son Little Simon, and if he had heard some things about Wei Da, he would definitely not have done anything under a rancher who "knows nothing".

"Old Simon, our cows are still small now, and the grass on the pasture can be fully supplied. And Old Simon, I will start to slowly cultivate better fresh and high-quality grass. So the task of you and Little Simon is very simple, take good care of these guys." Wei Da saw that Old Simon didn't say much, so he confirmed the breed of cattle he purchased.

Another large sum of money was spent. One hundred calves and three hundred sheep were all meat lambs and beef cattle. Although these cubs were not expensive, they were only hundreds of thousands of dollars in total. Both male and females had a certain proportion of choices for calf and sheep calf, but Wei Da didn't care much about these. The conscientious old Simon could make a good choice.

Wei Da followed Old Simon curiously. It was not a simple matter to buy cow breeds. There may be some channels for buying and selling in the newspaper, but it was more important to look at the auction market to study them. Seeing the cows being introduced into the exhibition area, age, gender, color, and variety can be seen quickly; and the ability and health status of activities must be paid attention to.

The cattle and sheep breeds have also been selected. What is needed now is to wait until these cattle and sheep are transported back to the ranch; Wei Da doesn’t need to care about these things at all. Registration of these things was done with the help of old Simon. His main task now is to pay money. And although the auction is completed, the transportation also takes some time; doing it is just to make yourself uncomfortable, so there is no need to feel wronged.

"Wei, you did a good job!" Old Simon was basically satisfied with the new employer. Although he was a little unhappy about the choice of the cattle breed, Wei Da still trusted the professional Old Simon as a professional for most of the time, which also made Old Simon even more motivated.

"Old Simon, it turns out that running a ranch is so tiring!" Wei Da is not kidding. It took less than a month to get the ranch, but Wei Da basically couldn't stop like a motor these days. There were too many things to deal with. "By the way, when can these cattle be sent back to the ranch?"

"Three days, I gave them three days. Wei, don't worry. Maybe our opportunity has come. When these cattle and sheep are bigger, maybe the weather will not be so hot, so we can get off easily." Old Simon shrugged. It is never an easy thing to operate a ranch, which is certain.

"Okay, in three days, I also need to prepare delicious feed for these little cuties." Wei Da smiled. Although the auction market was still quite lively, it was also very hot. Wei Da really wanted to shine now.

"Wei, we still need a few horses. Although many cowboys have their own horses, Little Simon and I have horses, and Tim also has his own horses, the pasture also needs to prepare a few horses." Old Simon also reminded Wei Da at this time.

Wei Da was stunned. He really didn't think of this these days; he basically ran around in his pickup truck, and there were no cattle and sheep in the pastures, so there were no horses at all now. Now that cattle and sheep are in place, of course, they need to prepare horses.

"Okay, this is a very good choice, I was moved. Old Simon, you lovely old guy, I believe your ability, you will help me choose the best horse, I believe you can do it!" Wei Da was excited. Although the car was the favorite of many men, riding a horse and whip was also touching. In the past, Wei Da could only envy him, but now he has his own ranch, so he can definitely choose a good horse.

Old Simon also laughed out loud. His cooperation with Wei Da during this period was basically quite pleasant. Now he has an extremely strong enthusiasm for buying horses, which makes this new employer look more real and easy to get along with. This is his new understanding of Wei Da in more than half a month.
