The birch leaves turn yellow in autumn.

Some small flowers that cannot withstand the north wind quietly become withered, and alfalfa stands upright on the land, waiting to accept their fate - being harvested and stored.

Smith Ranch is located north of Snow Mountain Ranch, with an area of ​​more than 73,000 acres and is rectangular. It borders Flathead National Forest Park to the west. There are several small ranches to the north and east. Snow Mountain Ranch to the south.

From the Snow Mountain Ranch, cross a black guardrail dividing line, and further forward is the boundary of the Smith Ranch. The two merged together and were close to a square. Because they directly used rulers to draw on the map when they bought land, this strange phenomenon appeared.

The terrain of this pasture is similar to that of the snow-capped mountain pasture, with about 30% of the hills, with the highest peak of only more than 20 meters, and the rest are plains.

There are dozens of lakes of all sizes distributed in the low-lying areas, one of which is a coherent stream. Now there is less rain and the stream has dried up.

When the rainy season in Montana comes, it can connect to Lake Rota. There are many fish inside, most of which are Asian carp. Old 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. The most feared thing about grazing is natural disasters. What is more terrifying than natural disasters is livestock epidemics.

An anthrax epidemic may ruin the accumulation of ranchers for more than ten years. Fortunately, these big guys are strong and as long as they strengthen hygiene management, they will not easily get infected.

The more I look at it, the more I feel satisfied.

The cattle and sheep on the ground were disturbed and walked around.

The cowboy put his hands above his eyes to block the sunlight, looked up and saw the familiar plane, realizing that the future boss had come to patrol, waved and shouted on the ground, and others saw it in the distance, and waved the horse to run here.

When Han's father saw this scene, he patted the pilot seat of the plane and pressed his hand down to let Benjamin land. He found a place where there was not much grass. The propeller brought out strong winds and blew down half a meter-high grass.

He opened the door and jumped out of the helicopter, picked Han Xuan and the others out, and finally hugged Fat Ding and shouted: "You go first! We will go back by ourselves later."

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

"Mr. Han, have you bought the Smith Ranch?"

As soon as the cowboy saw him, he asked anxiously that it was not easy for those who were grazing for a living and then looking for them. He was used to freedom and could not stand the terrible sense of restraint at work.

"I came back from Vancouver to Seattle, signed a contract with Mrs. Hall, and now I'm just waiting to register for the transfer."

The ranch price was estimated by Old Patton for helping him. Han Qianshan, the rancher, didn't know much about the situation of Smith Ranch. "How many cows and sheep are there?"

"Hello, my name is Ryan Crawford, I'm glad to see you, sir."

The cowboy smiled and said that Snow Mountain Ranch has helped them a lot and the relationship between the two sides is quite close.

"Now there are more than 7,000 St. Grudy cattle and more than 5,000 Belgian blue cattle. There are more sheep raised and they cooperate with the buyers. There are nearly 30,000 Australian Rayland sheep, all of which have been raised for more than ten months, but there is no good forage for feeding them recently, and the growth rate has slowed down."

Ryan said a variety and pointed it to the people in front of him: "Those big guys are St. Grudy cattle, which can grow to a ton. It seems that they have never been raised in the Snow Mountain Ranch?

This kind of cattle is basically raised in Texas, and the fattening period can grow more than 1,000 grams of meat every day, but the temper is too irritable, just like those Texas guys.

The body is full of muscles. The new breed introduced only two years ago. Cows can grow to more than 700 kilograms and bulls can reach more than 1,200 kilograms.

They are different from ordinary beefs. They all grow muscles. They can’t see a little frosted meat. The slaughter rate can reach 71%, but the meat is too old and the price is not high. I don’t plan to raise them after I sell them. It’s so edible.”

Han’s father squatted on the ground and patted the white sheep in front of him, “Well, I have never raised those two before. Needless to say, Leilan sheep, I am very familiar with them.”

"...What should I do in the future of Smith Ranch?" Ryan worried, turned his head to look at his companions who were surrounding him, "There are more than 160 employees here, and you don't seem to use so many people."

Han’s father was stunned. There were more people in the snow mountain ranch than here, but they also had more things to do. Taking care of horses and cows was time-consuming, but the merger did require less than 400 cowboys to take care of them, and 300 people were enough.

"My family rented a 10,000 acre of wasteland near Augusta Town and planned to convert it into a vegetable planting area. There is still a shortage of manpower. If you want, you can go there first."

Han Xuan understood his concerns and said, "I think I can rotate with people in the ranch, so I don't like grazing every day.

The salary is the same as the cowboys in the Snow Mountain Ranch. The monthly salary is $1,400. There are four days off every month. If you don’t need to take a vacation, it’s $1,600. The profit of the ranch at the end of the year is 5% distributed to you according to the workload.”

"real?"

A cowboy next to him heard this and was anxious to get off the horse's back, but he didn't step on it and fell down his butt.

Currently, their salary is $5 per hour, which is only $1,200 per day for eight hours. It is already a good salary in Montana, where the economy is backward.

It suddenly increased by more than one-third, and the dividends were still worth thousands of dollars a year. It was not that they had thought about it in an instant. Last month, they had thought about it. Even more than 540 employees in Jiaxueshan Ranch in the planting area were clearly understood, and they were just waiting for this sentence.

"Well, the more I earn, the more you will earn, so do your job. If there is not enough grass here, I will drive the cattle and sheep to the Snow Mountain Ranch. It has not been harvested yet." Han's father patted Rui'an's shoulder, and they just went straight and didn't have to turn around. They just like this.

"Okay, boss!"

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

"Congratulations? Any congratulations, ah... Ranch, haha."

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

"Hmm?! I've found the gold mine!?" Han Xuan opened his mouth and looked at his father.

"I don't know. I didn't bring my cell phone when I went to Canada. I called Joanna last week, but she didn't say this."

Han’s father scratched his head and said, “Have you found it? It’s in the area of ​​the snow-capped mountain ranch?”?

"I heard someone say a few days ago that it seems to be a medium ore, with a gold content of 3.35 grams per ton. It is still unclear how much it can be produced.

The exploration team was still inspecting the Forest Park in Flathead. Yesterday, the reporter broke in and interviewed again and injured a Merino sheep. Mr. Patton drew his gun."

"Go back and take a look, go back quickly!" Han Xuan clapped his hands and shouted, and he didn't see the car on both sides and was stunned.

"Let me lend you my horse, Nicole, Abraham, and you guys come down, and go and get it later."

Harris only understood the meaning now, and was stunned: "Your family found a gold mine?"
