In autumn, the leaves of the birch trees turn yellow.

Some of the small flowers, which could not withstand the north winds, quietly withered, and the alfalfa still stood on the ground, waiting to accept their fate of being harvested and stored.

Smith Ranch is located on the north side of the Snow Mountain Ranch, covering an area of more than 73,000 acres, in the form of a rectangle, bordering the Flathead National Forest Park to the west, several small ranches to the north and east, and Snow Mountain Ranch to the south.

From the Snow Mountain Ranch through a black guardrail dividing line, and further beyond is the Smith Ranch boundary, the two combined together are close to the square as a whole, because the land purchased in the past is directly drawn on the map with a ruler, so this strange phenomenon will be presented.

The terrain of this ranch is similar to that of the snow-capped mountain pasture, with about 30% hills, the highest is just over 20 meters, and the rest is plains.

In the low-lying area there are dozens of lakes, large and small, one of which has a small stream, which now has little rain and the stream has dried up.

When the rainy season arrives in Montana, it will be connected to Lake Rota, which is full of fish, mostly Asian carp, and the elder Hall complained about them more than once during his lifetime.

After being ravaged by downy mildew and aphids, cattle and sheep were driven to the surviving grasslands, where they were most afraid of natural disasters, and livestock blight was more terrible than natural disasters.

A cattle anthrax epidemic can ruin the accumulation of more than ten years of ranchers, but fortunately, these big guys are strong and can easily avoid the disease as long as they strengthen hygiene management.

The more I look, the more satisfied I become.

The cattle and sheep on the ground were disturbed and scattered in all directions.

The cowboy put his hand above his eyes to block out the sun, looked up at the familiar plane, realized that the future boss was coming to make an inspection, waved and shouted on the ground, and the others in the distance saw it and spurred the horse to run in this direction.

Father Han saw this scene. Patting the driver's seat of the plane, he pressed his hand down to let Benjamin land, found a place where there was not much grass, and the propeller brought out a strong wind that blew down the grass half a meter high.

Open the door and jump out of the helicopter and pick up Han Xuan and them inside. Finally, he hugged the fat man and shouted, "You go first! We'll go back by ourselves later." ”

Benjamin smiled and gave a thumbs up, feeling that his vacation seemed to be coming again

"Mr. Han, did you buy Smith Ranch?"

As soon as the cowboy saw him, he asked eagerly, for these people who live by herding, it is not easy to lose their jobs and try to find them, they are used to freedom, and they can't stand the terrible sense of constraint at work.

"I came back from Vancouver and went to Seattle to sign a contract with Mrs. Hall. Now it's just a matter of registering the transfer. ”

The price of the ranch was estimated by the elder Barton, and Han Qianshan, the rancher, did not know much about the situation at Smith Ranch, "How many cows and sheep are there here?"

"Hello, my name is Ryan Crawford, and it's a pleasure to meet you, sir. ”

The cowboy said with a smile that the Snow Mountain Ranch usually helps them a lot, and the relationship between the two sides is quite close.

"Now there are more than 7,000 St. Grudy cattle. There are more than 5,000 Belgian blue cattle, and there are more sheep. In cooperation with the buyer, there are nearly 30,000 Australian Leilan sheep, all of which have been raised for more than ten months, but there is no good forage to feed them recently, and the growth rate has slowed down. ”

Ryan said a breed and pointed it out to the people in front of him: "Those big guys are St. Grudy cows, and they can grow to a ton. It seems that the snowy mountain ranch has never raised them, right?

This kind of cattle are basically raised in Texas, and they can grow more than 1,000 grams of meat a day during the fattening period, but they are too short-tempered, just like those Texans.

Full of muscles is the Belgian Blue Cattle, a new breed that was introduced only the year before last. Cows can grow to more than 700 kilograms, and bulls can grow to more than 1,200 kilograms.

They are not the same as ordinary cattle, all grow muscles, a little frost meat can not be seen, the slaughter rate can reach up to 71%, but the meat is too old, the price is not high, this batch is sold after not planning to raise them, it is too edible. ”

Father Han squatted on the ground and patted the white sheep in front of him, "Well, I haven't raised either of them, needless to say, Leilan sheep, I'm very familiar with them." ”

“…… What will happen to Smith Ranch in the future?" Ryan worried, turning his head to look at his companions gathered around, "There are more than one hundred and sixty employees here, and you don't seem to need so many people. ”

Father Han was stunned, there are more people in the Snow Mountain Ranch than here, but they also have a lot of things, and it takes time to take care of Dan horses, cows and cows, but together it does take less than four hundred cowboys to take care of them, and three hundred people are enough.

"My family has rented 10,000 acres of wasteland near Augusta Town to be converted into a vegetable growing area, and there is still a shortage of manpower, so I can go there if I want. ”

Han Xuan understood his worries, and said, "I want to come to the ranch to rotate with people, and I don't like grazing every day."

The salary is the same as that of the cowboys in the Snow Mountain Ranch, with a monthly salary of $1,400, four days of vacation every month, and even if you don't need to take a vacation, even if you don't need to take a vacation, 5% of the ranch profit will be distributed to you according to the workload. ”

"Really?"

When a cowboy heard this, he got off his horse in a hurry, and fell on his butt without stepping on it.

At present, they are paid $5 an hour, which is only $1,200 for eight hours a day, which is a good salary in economically backward Montana.

It has risen by more than one-third all of a sudden, and there are thousands of dollars in dividends every year, not that they calculated it in an instant, they had already thought about it last month, and even more than 540 employees in the planting area and the Snow Mountain Ranch had figured it out, just waiting for this sentence.

"Well, the more I earn, the more you will be paid, so do a good job, if there is not enough grass here, I will drive the cattle and sheep to the snowy mountain pasture, and I haven't harvested yet. Father Han patted Ryan on the shoulder, straight and straight without turning, they liked this set.

"Okay, boss!"

Ryan said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. ”

"Congratulations, what's the congratulations, huh...... Ranch, haha. ”

"No, boss, you don't know about the gold mines?"

"Hmm?!Found the gold mine!?" Han Xuan looked at his father with his mouth wide open.

"I don't know, I didn't bring my phone with me to Canada, I called Joanna last week, and she didn't say that. ”

Father Han scratched his head and said, "Found it????"

"I heard someone say a few days ago that it seems to be a medium mine, with a gold content of 3.35 grams per ton, and it is not clear how much it can be mined.

The exploration team was still inspecting Flathead Forest Park, and yesterday reporters broke in again and wounded a merino sheep, and Mr. Patton pulled out his gun. ”

"Go back and see, go back quickly!" Han Xuan clapped his hands and shouted, he didn't see the car left and right, and he was dumbfounded.

"Lend you my horse, Nikol and Abraham, and come down and get it later. ”

Harris didn't understand the meaning until now, dumbfounded: "You found a gold mine at home?!" (To be continued.) )
