The cal herd was sent to Jiang Feng’s ranch.
A hundred cals were divided into two groups, kept in two open-air pens.
After being unloaded from the truck, the cals hurried into the pens, then huddled together.
They looked around in terror at everything surrounding them.
But soon, they gradually cald down.
Yang Maolin called over Hadan and Bugude to fill the cal pen with hay.
The feeding thod for the open-air pens was simple: just transport the haystack next to the pen and untie it.
Then take a steel fork and toss the hay from the haystack over the railing.
The employees worked together, with the hay falling into the pen like rain.
The new cals looked at each other.
Everyone’s mood gradually cald.
They seed to be thinking:
Is this paradise?
Jiang Feng watched the cals in the pen and started laughing.
"From now on, my ranch will have cals. I’ve learned about raising cals; it’s not much different from cattle and sheep, also easy to raise."
"Moreover, cals can be completely free-range."
"Just open the pen and let them run around; they’ll co back after they’re full."
"My pasture is fenced all around, so I’m not afraid of them running far."
"But at first, they still need to be penned up, and soone needs to watch them, let them get familiar with the environnt."
Jiang Feng’s words were full of joy.
For him, getting a hundred cals was more exciting than getting a million-dollar tractor.
Tractors are just tools, consumables.
These livestock are the foundation of the ranch.
The live broadcast audience also responded:
[The ranch added new mbers again!]
[How do you make money raising cals? They can only carry goods, right!]
[Cal milk has a low yield and is very expensive, you can sell cal milk.]
[And cal wool is also expensive, just like selling sheep wool.]
[Cal at can also be eaten.]
Viewers witnessed the ranch’s developnt.
Starting with bringing cattle and sheep to take root here, to now establishing a cattle ranch, and also raising sheep, pigs, chickens, geese, cals, and more, the ranch is constantly changing.
This winter, the ranch is gathering strength.
By next spring, the ranch will truly soar.
"Let them get used to the environnt first."
"Tomorrow I’ll find the most robust cal to be my exclusive mount."
"Entering the pasture in winter depends entirely on cals."
"Cals run slowly, but their carrying capacity is stronger than horses."
Jiang Feng said again.
New mbers arrived at the ranch, and the small animals all ran over to see.
The first to arrive was Cat Boss. Seeing that the cals were so big, it knew it couldn’t pick a fight with them and lost interest.
The dogs also ran out.
Cals are the largest among the five livestock, taller than cattle and horses, and appear more intimidating.
The dogs stood outside the railing, curiously peering at the cals inside.
The Little Border Collie wagged its tail, wanting to rush into the cal pen and make friends with them.
Jiang Feng stopped it with his foot.
"Stay quiet, these cals aren’t used to the environnt yet, don’t stress them out."
Jiang Feng said to the Little Border Collie.
The hay cascaded down the railing, quickly piling up in a layer on the ground.
The cals walked over to eat the hay.
They seed less wary than before.
Cals are naturally gentle animals; as long as you treat them well, they will trust humans.
Seeing these cals, Jiang Feng said to the viewers:
"Do you know why I didn’t buy older cals?"
As everyone was wondering, Jiang Feng imdiately explained:
"Cals are homing animals, especially old cals."
"There was an incident here before where a family sold all their cals."
"But a few days later, the oldest cal, missing its previous owner too much, walked ho on its own."
"You have to understand that the two households were over a hundred kiloters apart."
"That old cal climbed mountains and crossed rivers. Nobody knows how it rembered the way, but it made its way back on its own."
"Later, that family redeed this old cal back."
"Such incidents aren’t rare; cals are more human-like than cattle and sheep, hard-working and good-natured."
"So raising them well makes them loyal companions to herders."
Jiang Feng’s story sparked the viewers’ imaginations.
In everyone’s minds, it seed like there was an old cal braving the wilderness’s cold wind, walking ho alone.
[They can walk a hundred kiloters back? Without GPS even people would get lost!]
[A hundred kiloters is so far, how did it find its way ho!]
[When cals graze, they cover a large area and probably recognize so paths!]
[This kind of cal must be redeed; it’s so spirited!]
[These real animal stories are truly touching!]
The comnts kept flowing.
Inside the railing, the cals’ emotions gradually stabilized.
They are eating fresh dried hay, constantly chewing.
The cal’s mouth seems to be forever moving, unable to stop, looking quite amusing.
As ti grew late, Jiang Feng inspected the ranch one last ti and concluded the day’s live broadcast.
After dinner, he went back to his room to play with his phone and rest.
The next morning, the sun rose as usual, dispelling the chill of the prairie.
In the morning, Jiang Feng started the live broadcast again and ca to the outside of the cal pen.
Having just bought the cals, he couldn’t wait to take them for a walk around the pasture.
This season, the grass on the prairie is yellow and dry, mostly low, but so taller herbaceous plants are also scattered among them.
With the cal saddle and reins in hand, Jiang Feng was ready to find a strong cal in the pen.
Cals aged 3 and 4 are suitable for riding, as they have a strong carrying capacity.
Jiang Feng walked into the pen to check on the cals.
He imdiately ca up to a large white cal.
This cal had mostly white fur, a bit dirty as it’s always outdoors.
Cals have strong endurance—usually kept outdoors, and can withstand even small snowstorms.
This cal is 3 years old, just reaching the age suitable for riding.
However, it’s half a head taller than the other cals, even taller than so four-year-olds.
"I had my eye on this 3-year-old cal yesterday; among the herd, it’s the tallest and strongest."
"Natural good genes."
Jiang Feng smiled as he approached the white cal.
The online followers watched the white cal in front of them.
[Is this really 3 years old?]
Soone exclaid again.
[It’s definitely huge!]
[How do you ride a cal?]
[The host has a new mount!]
Jiang Feng ca to the cal’s side, familiarized himself with it briefly, and then signaled for it to kneel down.
This white cal was very intelligent, imdiately kneeling down with all four limbs, leaning on the ground.
Jiang Feng began to fit the saddle and reins onto it.
Throughout the process, the white cal stayed calmly in place.
Everyone watching the live broadcast was surprised by how obedient the cal was.
Not even a hint of resistance.
Jiang Feng quickly finished fitting the saddle and reins and then mounted directly.
To ride cals, they first kneel down, humans climb up, then the cal stands up.
Jiang Feng easily sat between the cal’s humps, pulling the reins lightly, and the cal imdiately stood up.
Yang Maolin opened the pen’s gate.
He then waved a whip, producing cracking sounds, driving the cals out.
Ti to let the cals out.
Let them familiarize themselves with the prairie here.
Upon hearing the whip cracks, the cals began to move out.
The cals walked at a slow pace, leisurely.
Riding on the cal, Jiang Feng felt the gentle sway, savoring the leisurely sensation.
Especially with the cal’s natural backrest, it’s even more comfortable to ride.
A large group of cals headed out.
In autumn, the pastures are dry and yellow, leaving only many withered grasses.
The cals lowered their heads, specifically looking for taller dried grasses to eat.
Cattle, sheep, and cals are suited for such free-range thods, rather than being kept in a pen continuously.
Perhaps they hadn’t been out for a long ti or maybe the grass was delicious.
These cals were quite happy.
A drone captured the scene from above.
The viewers were deeply attracted by the relaxed and carefree landscape of the ranch.
[Riding a cal once at a scenic spot costs 80 yuan, while the host can ride freely; really envious!]
[I once rode a cal; it’s more comfortable than riding a horse, given that cals don’t suddenly gallop or anything!]
[Looks delightful to watch!]
[He can ride real cals, while I can only ride the Happy Sheep kiddie rides at the supermarket entrance!]
[Seeing the host swaying leisurely makes want to ride a cal too!]
Everyone envied Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng enjoyed this slow-paced life, just following the cal without having to think about anything.
Of course, it’s also because his family is well-off, and the ranch employs many workers.
If it were ordinary herders, daily tasks would still be nurous.
The cal herd continued to move deeper into the prairie; although the grass was withered in late autumn, such pasture sufficed to excite the cals.
The white cal beca more spirited as it walked.
Jiang Feng could sense these cals were happy.
They moved from the enclosed pen to the vast prairie.
At least from this mont, they were much freer than before.
"The cals are very happy."
"As long as we take them out a few more tis, they can be completely free-range in the future."
"After so ti, I’ll start having Gelya milk the cals."
"Soon, we’ll have cal milk to drink too."
Jiang Feng narrated the prairie tales to everyone.
A cold wind blew across the prairie, ruffling the cals’ fur as they felt cool and comfortable.
