It couldn't be simpler. There were not many people in the auction house. The two rows of simple iron stands facing each other were not full at all. There were only sixty or seventy people, and they were in groups of three or five.

Don't underestimate these people. Buying livestock is not like domestic ones. These people need at least six or eight cattle. It is definitely not one or two that buy dozens of cattle at once like Jian Heng.

Jian Heng found a position easily. Although it was not the best position, it was not a problem to see the animals in the auction clearly.

I looked down at the steps and found that there was nothing on them. As for footprints, they are very common, mainly to see if there are bird droppings or chewing gum.

After living in the United States for a period of time, you will find that the quality of the so-called Americans is just that, far from as high as some domestic beauty-licking big Vs say.

There was neither dry bird droppings nor footprints on the land selected by the few people, so Jian Heng didn't dust off the dust, and just sat down on the edge of his trousers.

Barley and Wheat have also changed their image now. They are no longer dressed as a city fashion girl. Now the top is a dark shirt, the bottom is jeans, and the belt on the waist is matched with some tassels, or half-height leather boots Add some accessories or something on it, it's not much different from ordinary cowgirl dress.

Of course, with the good looks of the two of them, even ordinary clothes can be worn by the two of them with a fashionable and attractive effect.

Let’s just talk about today. After walking around here, countless young cowboys followed the figures of the two sisters, reluctant to leave. From time to time, bold and shameless people came over and tried to say something.

Zhang Jialiang and Zhao Changshan sat directly behind Jian Heng at this time, each with a hamburger, the kind with double bacon added, the beef was so thick that one hand couldn't hold the whole hamburger, the two of them Each held their hands and gnawed fiercely, as if Jian Heng hadn't let them eat for a few days.

"It's about to start!" Jian Heng saw a fancy-dressed cowboy crawling into the bucket of the elevator at the end of the iron shelf, so he whispered to remind the two gluttonous rough men behind him who were enjoying delicious food.

The cowboy's attire is almost eight points of what Zhang Jialiang used to be, which shows how exaggerated this guy was at that time.

The cowboy wears an off-white cowboy hat on his head, a color-coded jacket with tassels on his upper body, white trousers on his lower body, and a carved leather trouser cover with a few centimeters of tassels hanging on the side. A pair of color-coded leather boots with spurs.

The cowboy does not have a microphone in his hand, but wears a very simple microphone next to his ear, and the speaker is placed under the elevator.

The lift has risen to a height of almost two meters and reached the top.

The cowboy holding on to the railing felt the elevator pause and knew it was time to get to work.

"Hello, hello!"

I tried Mai and felt that there was no problem. This guy didn't have any opening remarks, so he said directly: "It's almost time, how are you doing? Are you ready to start today's auction?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to answer, he directly glanced at the hand card in his hand, and began to introduce the first batch of cattle, from the breed of cattle to the pastures provided, and the age range.

While the host said, a few cowboys over there drove the cows into the simple shooting venue from the west entrance.

The first batch of cows were young bulls. Jian Heng had no interest in these cattle, and waited quietly for the next batch.

Jian Heng's lack of interest does not mean that others are not interested. Some ranchers have their eyes on one or several calves, judging from their physique and pace that the calves may grow well, so they will bid.

There are not many people competing for it, and there are only two or three rounds of bidding at most, and the deal can be completed in the end.

The first batch of cows that came in sold well, more than half of the dozens of cows were sold, and the cowboys who drove the cows separated the sold cows from the unsold cows at the venue, and when they were exported from the east, The cattle that were sold were driven to the southeast, while the last cattle were sold from the northeast.

After two rounds like this, the first group of cows that Jian Heng had his eyes on appeared, a dozen or so half-sized heifers, neither good nor bad in physique.

"This cow can't do it! I think it's better to spend a little more money and choose a calf of a higher grade!" Damai was a little suspicious of Jian Heng's vision.

Mai Mai nodded in agreement after listening to her sister's words: "Although you feel that you have saved money now, you will regret your choice today after a year."

Such cows are not a good choice for pastures. First of all, these heifers are small in size. Although they have not fully grown up now, judging from the performance of these heifers now, they want to achieve a satisfactory level in the future. Physique, the odds are about the same as winning the lottery.

Cows are small, which means that the calves they produce in the future are likely to be small due to genetic reasons.

If the size of the cow is too small, the meat production will first be affected. Think about which one will produce more meat, an 800-jin cow or a 600-jin cow? So such calves are not popular, usually slaughter companies buy them.

"These calves haven't grown yet! If you don't believe me, you can see them next year. They must be very strong!" Jian Heng didn't care what the two sisters said, and directly stretched out his hand to signal the cowboys to be auctioned.

"Except for the 12th, 30th, and 17th...the fifth, I want them all," Jian Heng roared loudly.

In a big place, Jian Heng's roar was heard by the whole audience.

Jian Heng's words directly puzzled many ranchers, because it is understandable that Jian Heng eliminated No. 12. This heifer is too thin and weak, and it also walks with a limp. It is obvious that there is something wrong with its legs.

But other than that, the cattle picked out by Jian Heng are considered to be the best among the group of cattle, at least the price is 10% to 20% higher than the price of the cattle Jian Heng wants!

Jian Heng's words made the cowboys who didn't know Jian Heng murmur. They thought that this was another rich Asian guy who didn't know anything about ranches, and spent money to buy a ranch and play house.

Jian Heng called out the reserve price, and no one was interested in adding it, and the slaughter company didn't want to waste money to rob Jian Heng of these cattle. For them, such cattle are available every day. Slightly lower, why increase the price.

The cowboy auctioneer shouted three times before announcing the deal. The old rancher, who had lost all his hair after driving the cows in, looked like he had eaten honey. He was so happy. Heng raised the brim of his hat to express his kindness.

Smiling at the old cowboy, Jian Heng said to Zhang Jialiang who had finished eating the big hamburger and was hiccupping: "Go pick up the cow!"

After speaking, Jian Heng took out a check with numbers already filled in from his pocket. This thing is regarded as a security deposit. If Jian Heng has no money to buy all the animals that were photographed today, then this thing will be in vain. , if the transaction is successful, of course there is no trouble.

After wiggling his fingers and wiping his clothes twice, Zhang Jialiang took the check, walked down the steps with Zhao Changshan, walked along the inner side of the auction room, and walked towards the east exit.

As soon as he left the auction site, Zhang Jialiang said to the staff with a work card on his chest: "My boss bought those cows!"

Jian Heng's shot was astonishing. The staff had noticed these faces a long time ago. Although Zhang Jialiang couldn't call out Zhang Jialiang's name, there was no problem at all in identifying them, and he took them directly to work to hand over the check.

This place is not only a place to pay security deposits, but also a place to collect taxes. Some people from the Internal Revenue Service are waiting here to collect money.

After handing over the check, Zhang Jialiang and the two were led to the pen where the cattle were kept.

You buy your cattle and this side will drive your cattle to a temporary pen for final checkout quarantine and shipping.

As soon as the staff left, Zhang Jialiang and Zhao Changshan happily rode on the simple wooden fence and looked at the new members of the ranch, and couldn’t help giggling. Neither Zhang Jialiang nor Zhao Changshan had real pasture work experience. Every thing is very interesting.

Zhao Changshan is fine, Zhang Jialiang is completely unaware of what kind of trouble these things will bring him in the future.

As time passed bit by bit, the number of animals fenced by the two of them was increasing. There were already about forty heifers, three strong breeding bulls, and besides the cattle, there were more than twenty sheep.

Jian Heng had already bought all the bulls he was fancying. Except for the three breeding bulls, which cost a little more money, the others were bought at the reserve price.

After shooting cattle and sheep, the next step is naturally horses.

When the first batch of horses came into the arena, there were three horses that Jian Heng liked, and they were about to raise their hands, when a person came to Jian Heng's side and began to say hello.

"Henry!" The visitor sat directly on Jian Heng's left hand.

Turning his head, Jian Heng laughed: "Juan, why are you here?"

After asking for a while, I realized that I had said something nonsense.

The person who came was Juan Lynch. He was a veterinarian in the town. He was in his sixties. Jian Heng couldn't remember how old he was. The old white man was a little taller than Jian Heng. He was not only tall but also fat. More than two hundred and fifty catties, it looks like a mountain of meat.

It is the most obvious thing for a veterinarian to appear at the livestock auction, either he is going to take the job, or someone has already hired him to do a simple inspection of the livestock to be bought.

Replying to old Lynch, Jian Heng raised his hand, and then made a gesture with his hand, indicating that he wanted number five, number seven, and number eleven, three geldings.

Jian Heng has tried riding these three horses before. They belong to American pinto horses, and pinto horses are the kind with big spots on their bodies. Just now Jian Heng tried riding for a few steps, and felt that these three horses are the most docile among the group of horses, and they are well trained, and the price is also cheap, the base price of one horse is only three hundred and twenty dollars.

Jian Heng thought that no one would compete with him, but who knew that there was actually a person in the field who took a fancy to the three horses that Jian Heng liked. Not only that, but he also took a fancy to the other two horses, each with an extra $20. price.

The price increase here is not over yet, another person in the field added 20 dollars, raising the price of the horse to 360!

Seeing such a situation, Jian Heng turned his gaze away instantly, wanting to see which idiot raised the price.

As soon as he saw the person, Jian Heng found that the one who started bidding had increased the price by another 20 dollars. The two of them increased the price two or three times in this way, and directly increased the price of a horse to 400 knives.

Jian Heng was not interested in being silly with them at all, so he just shook his head and waved his hand to signal that he didn't want it.

Old Lynch was also a little confused, picked up his hat, scratched his bald scalp, and said in a voice like a broken gong, "What's there to grab?"

This kind of horse is an ordinary ranch horse, and there are so many of them in pastoral areas that it is outrageous. What's more, the flower horses are not very in line with Jian Heng's aesthetics.

Anyone who knows pinto horses knows that pinto horses are usually brown with large white spots on their bodies. In Jian Heng's view, they look a bit like albinos among horses, which is particularly unattractive.

Since it doesn't look good, why did Jian Heng buy it?

The first thing is that it is cheap, and the second is that the horse has a good physique. Not only is the body well-proportioned, but the height at the shoulders is also 1.6 meters high. In addition, the pace, speed, and response to commands are all good, so Jian Heng's Bian just wanted to pick up a reserve price and put it in his bag. Who knows that there are people who have the same plan as me, and even increase the price, so Jian Heng had no choice but to give up.

In the end, the transaction price of these horses was 420 U.S. dollars, and they were bought by those who paid the price later.

Except for these few horses, the rest of the horses did not bid. After a few shouts, several cowboys drove these horses out of the auction.
