After the cattle ranch was established, the main pasture area beca much more empty.
Now all the sheep are put in indoor pens, leaving so areas vacant.
The outdoor enclosure, especially, is devoid of any animals, which seems wasteful.
Jiang Feng ca to the edge of the empty enclosure and began to ponder what to raise there.
Having stread for two months now, he’s earned several million, plus the profits from selling fodder and cattle and sheep, investing more is completely manageable.
In this season, herdsn start selling cattle and sheep, but it’s mostly mature ones for the market, which are priced higher.
Jiang Feng wants to buy calves and cows around two years old, and ewes about a year old.
A few tag-alongs were following at his feet.
Little Border Collie, Little White Wolf, Little Donkey, an adult Red Fox, a pink pig, and a bustling goose.
On the surface, Little Border Collie is the leader of the street gang.
In reality, Jiang Feng is the mastermind of this little pack.
"Need to raise more animals, the forage is sufficient, the space is sufficient, leaving it empty is wasteful."
Jiang Feng leaned his elbow on the railing and gazed at the empty outdoor pen, softly murmuring.
As a herdsman, he can’t stand seeing a large patch of land left empty.
Not raising so animals here would be a sheer waste.
"No need to buy sheep, breeding them ourselves is enough. Better buy so calves."
"I could buy cals; my place hasn’t raised cals before."
"Grassland herders drink cal milk, while here we only drink cow milk, doesn’t quite fit."
Jiang Feng mused to himself.
Cal milk production is very low, much lower than cow milk, hence it’s pricier.
For grassland families with cals, they all drink cal milk.
Jiang Feng settled on the plan to purchase cals and started contacting people.
With the internet so developed now, he could easily search for cal breeders on short video platforms by looking up cal purchases in Mongolia.
Cals, being one of the five livestock of the grasslands, have a considerable population.
Jiang Feng has connections himself; he made a few calls and contacted several sellers.
Thus, this afternoon, Jiang Feng took Niu Erhu and Yang Maolin to the town to buy cals.
Jiang Feng stread routinely.
As a sideline, streaming complents his ranch life and greatly aids the future developnt of his ranch.
With the drone rising high, the streaming footage showed Jiang Feng in a quaint little town, where the walls here are all built with blue bricks, and the streets appear sowhat dirty.
This dirtiness doesn’t an litter scattered around but so black snow accumulation and weeds piling up, making it less tidy.
Jiang Feng said to the viewers in the streaming room:
"Today we’re streaming cal purchases; from today onwards, my ranch will include so cals."
"I plan to buy a hundred."
"A hundred isn’t much; here the farm households can raise over 20 in a single family."
"With such a large pasture, raising a hundred is easily manageable."
A grassland without cals is incomplete.
Cals rank alongside cattle, horses, and sheep as one of the five grassland animals, naturally possessing many rits.
Cal milk and cal wool are expensive, with stable production.
After raising them for several years, cal at can also be sold, though that depends on the species of cal.
Jiang Feng’s plan is mainly focused on cal milk and cal wool.
So he primarily aims to buy female cals.
[The ranch owner is buying cals again!]
[How many animals does he plan to raise!]
[The big ranch owner’s reputation is well-deserved!]
[He finds raising a hundred cals easier than I do raising a dog!]
Netizens responded one after another.
Jiang Feng arrived at the herdsn’s pen to inspect the cals.
The pens here are all brick houses, with heights reaching a person’s waist, allowing an easy view of the cals inside.
Yang Maolin walked into the pen, wanting to take a closer look at the cals, but to his surprise, the cals were quite fierce, suddenly leaping to scare him, then gathered at the back, watchfully observing him.
Yang Maolin was startled by the cal’s sudden movent and quickly ran back.
The cals in the pen stood much taller than humans, even loftier than horses.
If they violently attacked people, at least more than a few bruises would be left on a person’s body.
This scene looked quite amusing.
Jiang Feng asked the seller:
"How old are these cals?"
The seller imdiately responded: "These are all 3-year-old cals inside, 20 of them, just right for purchase."
Netizens in the streaming room heard the conversation between the two.
Looking at the cals taller than a person, everyone was a bit stunned.
[These are only 3 years old?]
[Grew this big at 3? Wow, I thought they were older!]
[Funny how animals don’t show aging, they always look like this!]
[Haha, perhaps we just can’t tell, or maybe they’re eaten before they get old.]
Jiang Feng nodded.
Before coming here, he had contacted many sellers and confird the cal prices.
Buying cals typically involves buying those 2 years old, 3 years old, and at most 4 years old.
Any older and they’re not easy to buy.
Because old cals rember the way ho, they are already attached to ho.
"How much for one?"
"5800 for a three-year-old, 4600 for a two-year-old. Fair price."
"Okay, let check their quality."
"Don’t worry, if there’s any issue, contact anyti."
Jiang Feng communicated with the seller.
He was very satisfied with these cals.
The reason is simple; these cals have lush and even fur, swaying as they walk.
That’s a good cal.
So farm cals are unbearably unsightly, with patches of fur missing, and so areas even bald, making one feel uneasy.
Jiang Feng walked into the cal yard.
"Be careful, they might bite, here’s a whip for you."
The seller handed out a whip, suggesting Jiang Feng take it. When cals approached, a swing of the whip made them retreat and flee.
"It’s alright, they seem fine to ."
Jiang Feng walked in.
It’s not that he’s overly bold; it’s just that three-year-old cals only pretend to be fierce and won’t act recklessly if t with strong deanor.
There are no pastures here; cals are kept in a yard, a small place, with older cals being slaughtered, so these cals are definitely frightened.
Put them in a pasture and they’ll gradually beco better.
Cals are very gentle animals.
Jiang Feng walked towards the cals, and the twenty cals retreated to the wall, tilting their heads to watch him.
The online viewers panicked seeing twenty towering cals.
[The ranch owner is fearless!]
[We’re ordinary people, he’s a terrifying upright ape, it should be the cals that are scared!]
[Look at the cals, they actually look a bit scared!]
[The host’s aura is very strong!]
Jiang Feng approached a cal, which stepped back, but Jiang Feng imdiately grabbed its reins, and the cal obediently stayed still.
These cals have good fur, and their humps are rather full.
These are Bactrian cals; the grasslands mainly have Bactrian cals nowadays.
Jiang Feng carefully examined the cals.
Buying animals requires close inspection to avoid sick ones, as that would be troubleso.
Along with Jiang Feng, besides Yang Maolin and Niu Erhu, was the clinic’s doctor, Lu Zhishan.
Lu Zhishan was Jiang Feng’s childhood buddy, later studying veterinary science, and now a doctor at the clinic, routinely visiting various places for inspections.
He is also responsible for animal disease prevention in nearby regions.
It was weekend, Lu Zhishan had a day off, so Jiang Feng invited him over to help check the cals, mainly the vaccine compliance.
Jiang Feng has veterinary skills too, but having another person offers extra assurance.
Jiang Feng inspected all twenty cals, spotting one or two with minor issues but no big deal.
"They’re quite good, training them for riding is possible now."
"In winter, ranch vehicles can’t enter; the cold restricts horse use; cals beco primary riding tools."
"Entering the pasture mostly involves cal riding."
"When grazing the cattle and sheep, I’ll follow on a cal."
Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Lu Zhishan was cross-verifying cal raising certificates and yearly quarantine clearance with the seller.
This household’s docunts were complete, and they raised good cals.
The penned cals seed restless, perhaps sensing sothing from the humans’ gaze.
Their gazes kept surveying them, increasing their pressure.
Jiang Feng bought all twenty three-year-old cals and also fifteen two-year-old young cals.
Although called young cals, their heads were almost at human height, with humps even taller than humans.
The young cals in the yard looked apprehensively at the outside world.
Their location was a dirt ground, sowhat ssy, with so snow piled by the walls, and no grass could be seen on the ground.
The living conditions were relatively poor.
"Alright, I’ll take all your cals; I need to head to the next place."
"Load them up now, my ranch has prepared feed and pens."
"Just transport them over."
Jiang Feng told the seller.
"No problem." After selling the cals, the seller smiled.
Many farrs breed cals and sell a few cal calves when it’s the season.
The competition in this industry is fierce, as cal calves are sold everywhere.
Ordinary people have no other ways to make a living, so they resort to the simplest thod for earning.
Usually, people buy a few cals, but Jiang Feng bought them all, making the seller naturally delighted.
A big rancher is indeed lavish.
In the evening, the seller dined and drank at ho, boasting to his family:
"You know that online famous ranch owner over at Maodeng, Jiang Feng, ca to my place today and bought all my cals."
"Isn’t it fantastic how I raised these cals?"
Seeing his excitent, his family responded, praising his cal-raising skills.
Jiang Feng spent two days visiting several cal farms and finally selected a hundred cals.
Mostly two to three-year-olds, with a dozen four-year-olds.
Now, all five grassland animals are complete in his ranch!
