American Ranch

Chapter 107 The Great Herd Project

The time soon came to the end of August. Since then, Angel's farm tourism has been on the right track.

Since Fangyue brought the first batch of tourists, a group of tourists came every 8 or 9 days after that. It was very stable, and the number was still increasing slowly. There were more than 20 people in the first batch, and it increased to 30 in the third batch. many people.

Fortunately, there were enough prefabricated accommodation built at the beginning, and now the farm has not reached the upper limit of reception, so there is nothing to worry about.

Each batch of tourists visits for 7 or 8 days, the farm repairs for 1 to 2 days, and then receives the next batch of tourists. It can receive three batches of tourists every month.Yesterday, the third group of tourists just sent off, and Hobbs is already preparing for the arrival of the fourth group of tourists.

Small farm tourism is booming, and the cowboys who are responsible for reception and tour guides are also very motivated, because some tourists do as the Romans do, and when the cowboys help with luggage and introduce scenic spots, they will also give some tips. Generally, cowboys can also have dozens of dollars in tips a day. , In this way, they are equivalent to getting double wages, making a few cowboys happy.

After eating this morning, Susa went to Angel's Farm to check the accounts. Angel and Becky didn't know where to play, but with Maggie and Black Rice and Wheat following, there was nothing to worry about.

Recently, Qin Yi was thinking about expanding the cattle herd.

Needless to say, alfalfa has already been improved, and now the pasture is rich, not only grows a lot faster than other places, but also has more nutrition. These pastures alone can provide the nutrients needed by cattle, and there is no need to supplement supplements. Feed, saving a lot of cost.

Ryan has made a comparison, and the weekly weight gain of beef cattle has increased by more than half compared with the same period in previous years, but the quality of the meat will not be known until the cattle are ready to be slaughtered.

Qin Yi didn't worry about the quality of the meat at all. If the meat quality of the beef cattle fed with such high-quality pasture was poor, then he would stop raising cattle in the future and forget about changing the pasture to a vegetable field!

One month has passed since the last harvest of the ryegrass in the rye area. At this time, after tillering, the pasture is more lush. At a glance, the dark green pasture has a strong vitality, sweeping the world, spreading across the entire rye area. .

Now the ranch has less than 12.4 beef cattle. According to Qin Yi's estimate, his 7-acre pasture, combined with super grass, can raise 8 to 7 head of cattle. It is absolutely no problem. Thinking of this number, Qin Yi couldn't help but pat Thighs, 8 to [-] heads, the difference is too big!

But it’s not enough if you don’t buy it. With such a large pasture, you can harvest a lot of pasture every month, but the current pasture is not well-known, so you can’t sell it for a price. If you don’t raise cattle, you will lose a lot.

The reconstruction and construction of the irrigation system in the rye area cost 800 million US dollars, and some other odds and ends. Now I have 4000 million US dollars left in my hand. I don’t know if it is enough to buy so many cattle.

However, this plan to expand the cattle herd must be implemented. If it’s a big deal, it’s a loan. I have a stable profitable ranch, and I’m not afraid of debts!
Qin Yi called Ryan and Hobbs and asked them to come over and discuss together. These old cowboys can help him a lot.

Now Ryan is usually in the office of the worker's room, grazing or something. He doesn't need him as the ranch supervisor to do it. He just needs to arrange the personnel allocation and arrange the grazing and pasture harvesting work.

Hobbs is now fully in charge of the tourism work of Angel Farm. Usually, Qin Yi and Susa don't bother, and he arranges everything from receiving tourists to arranging entertainment.However, this old cowboy is very responsible. He will say hello to Qin Yi when he needs to buy anything or add any facilities.

In fact, there was no need to call Hobbs over this time. After all, the projects in charge were different, but Qin Yi considered that he had also been a cowboy all his life, so he always had some unique insights. It happened that there were no tourists today, so he could listen to his opinions.

Ryan arrived within a few minutes. Qin Yi sat down with him and chatted casually for a few minutes. Susa also came back, and Hobbs followed him for a ride.

Susa had already learned from Hobbs that Qin Yi had something to discuss, and when she got home, she put the packet away and went to make coffee. She changed from a professional elite to a housewife. Seeing this scene, Hobbs winked at Ryan In the blink of an eye, the two agreed.

In their minds, Susa was already the hostess of the ranch, but she was short of a title.Facing this matter, they are happy to see it succeed, and of course they can't interfere.But Susa is really satisfying. Not only is she beautiful, she is kind to people, and she is also familiar with ranch work. She can help Qin Yi manage the ranch's accounts, and she can cook at home. She is almighty!
The only regret may be that failed marriage. Fortunately, Qin Yi likes Angel very much!In fact, nothing is perfect in life, as long as we are happy together, what do we care about so much!

Ryan and Hobbs looked at each other again, looked into each other's eyes, and smiled, knowing that they thought about going together, they shrugged tacitly, and realized that it was too much to think about, it still depends on Yi and Su. Satisfying themselves, other people really can't control it.

However, at present, it seems to be developing in a good direction.

Qin Yi looked at their expressions strangely, not knowing what they were expressing, after thinking about it, he thought it was the unique tacit understanding of their old friends for many years, so he stopped paying attention.

Qin Yi made the coffee when Ryan arrived. At this time, Susa poured a cup for Hobbs, filled it up for Ryan and Qin Yi, and wanted to go upstairs.

Qin Yi hurriedly called her to stop, "Susa, come and sit down, we have to discuss some things about the ranch, which are more important, you need to know."

Susa was taken aback, what's important about the ranch?I need to know?

Her heart beat a little faster, but then she remembered that she was the financial director of the ranch, and quickly hinted to herself not to think too much, then poured herself a cup of coffee, and came over to sit beside Qin Yi.

Qin Yi saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, so he said directly: "That's it, now that the ranch is on the right track, I think it's time to expand the cattle herd on the ranch, I called you here, just to ask you the opinion of."

After all, Ryan has been managing the ranch for the longest time, so he has a better understanding. At this time, it is natural for him to say: "The pasture is now in full bloom, and the impact of the severe drought is completely invisible. It is normal to expand the cattle herd, otherwise there will be so much pasture. and space is wasted."

"Well, the price of calves is lower now, and if winter pastures are available, it is the most suitable time to buy calves." Hobbs stroked his beard and expressed his opinion.

"Yi, how many cattle do you want to expand to?" Ryan asked a specific question.

"I think it should be fine for our ranch to raise 7 to 8 cows?" Qin Yi expressed his thoughts.

"Of course you can. With the current pasture, you can easily raise so many cattle! But, Yi, do you want to buy so many cattle directly? This is a big investment!" Ryan was a little shocked, although these cattle grew up and sold, at least I won't lose money, but it still takes a lot of courage to buy so many cattle at once.

But then I thought about it, back then Yike bought a ranch worth hundreds of millions of dollars!Well, well, what Yat lacks most is courage.

If Qin Yi knew Ryan's idea, he would definitely scoff at it. Brother has a lot of courage. If it weren't for the fact that there are a lot of good things in the Lingquan space, brother would never dare to do this!
Qin Yi frowned, rubbed his chin, and considered how many cows to buy.

Hobbs said at this time: "Yi, I don't think it is necessary to buy 7 to 8 cowboys all at once. Not to mention the high investment, the risk is still high, and so many cowboys are hard to find. It is better to buy 5 cowboys. Buy as many cows as possible, so that next year, the cows will give birth to calves, and within two years, the number of cattle on the ranch will reach 8 head."
