American Ranch

Chapter 241 Helm Avalanche

The Helm Ranch also belongs to Montana. The reason why it takes an hour to drive from the ranch is because its location is so remote.

The Helm Ranch is close to the Rocky Mountains, and part of it is still halfway up the mountain. It is mainly engaged in cattle and sheep breeding. Now, the total number of cattle and sheep is more than 1.

And its other important income is the breeding of breeding cattle. Their breeding cattle are very famous in several nearby towns!
It's just a little strange. As an old-fashioned commercial cattle farm, although the ranch is not big, it also has professional ranch facilities. Logically speaking, such a heavy snow is not enough to collapse the professionally designed cattle shed.

Although the snow on the road is more than half a meter deep now, it is more brutal than the last blizzard!
Ryan couldn't tell the reason on the phone. He also heard an old friend say something about it. The incident happened too suddenly and he hasn't figured out the situation yet.His original plan was to give Qin Yi some information first, and then find someone to find out.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi thought about it and thought this was an opportunity.

The cowshed in the Helm Ranch collapsed, and the loss must have been considerable, and many cattle and sheep were freezing, but the Helm Ranch could not be resettled. There were only two ways in front of us: find a buyer to receive them, or watch the cattle Sheep freeze to death!

But the current weather, coupled with two snowfalls before and after, made the snow on the road more than one meter deep, not to mention that no buyer would be found at all in a short while, even if they could be found, they would not be able to catch up in a short time, cattle and sheep In such a world of ice and snow, it can't last long!
Qin Yi's Sun River Ranch is the closest pasture that can eat nearly [-] cattle and sheep in the Helm Ranch. Therefore, if Qin Yi is willing, he can definitely buy these cattle and sheep at a low price.

Of course, this is not considered looting.

After all, being willing to take over the cattle and sheep in such weather would reduce their losses in itself, and Qin Yi had to risk the cattle and sheep getting sick or even freezing to death to transport the cattle and sheep back to the pasture. Take risks to help them tide over the difficulties!

Therefore, if Qin Yi is willing to accept it at a low price, it will be the best result for Helm Ranch.

I just don't know how much damage the bullpen collapse caused.

Without thinking too much, I called Marcus, "Marcus, this is Yi. Do you know the situation of Helm Ranch?"

"Yes, I know! It's so regrettable, the loss of the old Nord is not small, and now it is roughly estimated that a few hundred cows are over!" Marcus sighed with regret, the loss is not only the old Nord, the whole Augusta ranch industry is going to take some hits.

Of course, the one who lost the most was Old Nord, the owner of the Helm Ranch.

"How could this happen? This kind of snow disaster is more serious for the log cabin, but it is not enough to collapse the cowshed!" Qin Yi was quite puzzled by this point.

"Oh, it's like this, Yi. Just now, the old Nord called me the first time, saying that it was an avalanche. It may be due to too much wind, or it may be the vibration caused by the migration of animals on the mountain. The specific reason has not yet been clarified."

Marcus explained roughly, and then sent out another invitation: "Yi, I'm contacting the Helm Ranch to help, are you going?"

"Of course! I called Ryan here, and we drove over."

This must go, not only for the thoughts in my heart, but also for the responsibility of being the largest ranch in western Montana. If I don't help at this time, the reputation in the nearby town will definitely decline!

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi contacted Ryan again, and asked him to bring the cowboys over, and then let the women and children stay at home. He took a group of people and a set of tools, and took a snowplow and a large tractor to travel in a mighty way. Drive in the direction of Helm.

Not to mention snowplows, large tractors are even more domineering. The wheels are more than two meters long. The whole tractor is like a hill. It doesn't care about the snow on the road that exceeds one meter. It runs on a rampage and looks mighty and domineering!

Ye Fang is naturally indispensable for such a thing, this guy likes to join in the fun, and now such an opportunity to run in the snow is a rare opportunity, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Among other things, it was the first time he had seen a tractor that looked like climbing stairs, not to mention sitting, so he was very excited. Some fight!
"Your life is really colorful. Let's not talk about hunting and fishing, let alone motorboats and cars. Just this big tractor makes people envious!"

Ye Fang sat in the carriage, fiddling here and there, having a great time playing.

"You said how cool it would be if it was driven on the streets of the capital!"

Qin Yi immediately sneered mercilessly: "It's cool! You will be arrested every minute. This kind of bad behavior that destroys roads, hinders traffic, and affects social harmony and stability must be resolutely stopped!"

"Why don't you have any bacteria of humor!"

"I took a shower yesterday and cleaned it up!"

Ye Fang couldn't talk to him, so he decided to ignore him, and muttered to himself: "No wonder people say that man is the spirit of all things. To be able to build such a big thing, and drive it to run away, it's really evil!"

Qin Yi felt that what he said was right. Sitting on such a tractor that was almost two stories high, no one could avoid feeling a little arrogant.

In this way, the tractor cleared the road in front, and the snow plow followed behind to clear the snow, clearing the way for Marcus and the others, all the way along with the roar.

As the ones who cleared the way, Qin Yi and his party did not move fast. After walking halfway, Marcus had already followed up with others.

In such road conditions, it took two hours to finally arrive at the Helm Ranch.

The rancher, Old Nord, received the news and hurried out to greet him. The snowstorm overnight made the old rancher even more tired.

He greeted everyone with a strong smile and welcomed everyone into the ranch.

On the way, the snowplows were handed over to the ranchers and cowboys who came to help. Ryan, Walker, Marcus, and Old Nord all got on Qin Yi's large tractor, and they sat in the spacious cockpit Discuss countermeasures.

After listening to the old Nord's words, Qin Yi finally understood, because a valley on the mountainside of the Rocky Mountains belonged to Helm, where the pasture was rich, and for the convenience of grazing, Helm's cowshed was built in the valley, so This sudden avalanche caused the old Nord a lot of losses.

Now the loss has been roughly calculated. Together with the cattle and sheep, Helm lost more than 1000 head of cattle and sheep, and the remaining 1 head of cattle and sheep have been transferred to the small woods at the foot of the mountain.

Soon after arriving at the ranch, the cowboys helped to repair the cowshed, and the old Nord took Qin Yi and several other ranchers to check the situation of the cattle.

Along the way, everyone didn't say much, because there is really no better attention now.

The rush to repair the cowshed will not happen in a short time. The only way out is to sell this batch of cattle and sheep. However, in several nearby towns, the only one who can eat more than 1 cattle and sheep is Qin Yi!
Everyone understands this, so they don't speak. At this time, what to do depends on Qin Yi's intentions.

Old Nord is naturally very clear, and he also hopes that Qin Yi can take over, but this is not a small deal, how can it be decided casually!
What he can do now is to receive Qin Yi and the others with all his heart, and then when Qin Yi really intends to take over, he will quote a price that everyone is satisfied with.

This is what he was looking forward to.

Qin Yi knew what everyone was thinking, and everyone knew what was obvious!
But he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and he always had to see the cow first before speaking.

All the way to the grove, the cows and sheep gathered together and were leaning together to keep warm. The cowboys also got some hay for them. Although it was basically useless in this icy and snowy world, at this time, it was more or less doing their part. , You can't watch cattle and sheep freeze to death!

Qin Yi observed that many cattle and sheep still had a little panic in their eyes. It seemed that they were frightened by the avalanche, and some of them had dull eyes. It seems that if this continues, they are likely to get sick.

However, these cattle and sheep are all intact, and now that the road has been opened up, if they are fed some grass and hot water, it is no problem to bring them back to the pasture.

So, Qin Yi looked at the old rancher with anticipation in his eyes: "Old Nord, please make a price. If everyone is satisfied, I will take all these calves!"
