Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

Old Tom was in charge of calf health screening and stress transition programs.

He picked up where Su Chen left off, saying, "I'll go with them during the auction and look at each one."

"We don't want sick or weak cows; we only choose the healthy ones."

"After entering the facility, you will be quarantined for a week, receiving vaccinations, deworming treatment, and electrolyte supplementation. Once you are stable, you can join the group."

Juan is responsible for receiving the cattle, arranging the pens, and feeding them daily.

The reserve breeding area has been built, and half of the thirty young cattle are now living there.

There's still more than half the space left; the new calf has arrived and can be placed directly inside.

Louis was responsible for grazing area allocation, rotational grazing adjustments, and pasture monitoring.

With the addition of 180 cattle, the grazing density in the nine major pastoral areas needs to be recalculated.

The number of animals allowed in each district, the number of days allowed, and the number of days off all need to be adjusted.

Emma was responsible for auction coordination, fund settlement, and file registration.

We've decided to go to the auction house next Wednesday, targeting 180 healthy weaned calves.

Su Chen circled the day on the calendar and set a reminder for the day in advance.

The veterinarian developed a comprehensive plan for the new calves, including quarantine, vaccination, and deworming.

After the new cattle arrive, they will be quarantined for seven days.

The first day is for vaccination, the third day for deworming, and the seventh day is for a follow-up examination.

You can only integrate into the group after all the procedures are completed.

The new pasture area and reserve livestock sheds were thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and ventilated.

Juan, along with temporary workers, cleaned the livestock shed inside and out.

I sprayed it with disinfectant and opened all the windows for ventilation.

The hay warehouse has ample stock.

Su Chen took stock of it.

There are still nearly 200 tons of silage, more than 400 bales of hay, and 20 tons of concentrated feed.

One hundred and eighty new calves were added.

The amount of feed consumed each day will be significantly higher.

However, the existing inventory should last for two or three months without any problem.

The cold chain equipment underwent a comprehensive overhaul to prepare for future capacity increases.

Mike sent an electrician over to check all the equipment.

The compressor, thermostat, and refrigerant are all functioning normally.

The mine provides stable output and secure cash flow.

The mine produces about three tons of ore per day.

Each ton is worth $18,000, and the daily income exceeds $50,000.

The ranch's daily expenses and procurement for expanding its herd are more than sufficient.

There is no need to use the proceeds from beef sales.

Su Chen conducted a comprehensive inspection of the ranch facilities.

Fences, water troughs, irrigation systems, and monitoring equipment.

I checked everything one by one to make sure there were no shortcomings.

Black Fang intensified nighttime patrols throughout the area to ensure safety during the group expansion transition period.

Every night, the wolf pack patrols back and forth between the nine pastures and reserve areas.

Before going to sleep, Su Chen glanced at the surveillance footage, which was filled with green "normal" indicators.

Ling Feng scouted the auction venue and transportation routes in advance to ensure their safety.

Su Chen drove Ling Feng to the city where the auction house was located.

Ling Feng was made to fly around in the air to familiarize himself with the terrain.

We also went through the transportation route.

The road conditions are good, and there are no sections of road under construction or closed.

Dazhuang helped prepare the new cattle shed bedding, feed troughs, and watering equipment.

This guy is strong and can move things quickly.

Juan pointed to a spot and the cattle moved it there, and in half a day all the equipment for the new cattle shed was ready.

Mayor George approved the herd expansion subsidy, which was fifty dollars per calf.

This is a policy developed by the town government to encourage local ranches.

Su Chen meets the requirements; with 180 calves, he can receive a subsidy of 9,000 US dollars.

Bank manager Smith provides free auction fund settlement services.

He said that Su Chen's credit rating at the bank had been raised to the highest level.

There are no handling fees for auction fund settlement, and funds arrive instantly.

Agricultural input supplier Luke is offering discounted prices for feed specifically designed for expanding herds.

Concentrated feed is $20 cheaper per ton, and mineral supplements are buy ten get one free.

Su Chen calculated that he could save more than two thousand US dollars.

Policies, funds, materials, and technology are all in place.

The rotational grazing plan for the nine major pastoral areas across the region has been finalized.

Old Tom rearranged a rotational grazing schedule on his computer.

The number of grazing head, grazing days, and rest days in each district are all accurate to the single digit.

The pasture monitoring system covers all areas.

Louis visited nine pastures every day to measure the grass height at each one.

The data is filled in on the monitoring board and simultaneously entered into the computer.

Early warnings are issued for areas where grass is insufficient, allowing for timely adjustments to grazing plans.

Sunset Ranch has officially transitioned from a small regional ranch to a medium-sized ranch.

Five hundred cattle is the maximum size for a small ranch.

Six hundred and eighty heads is enough to cross the threshold of medium size.

When Su Chen took over the paperwork, the ranch only had five sick cows.

Now, in less than a year, it has increased a hundredfold.

This lays a solid foundation for future efforts to reach 800 heads and enter the high-end market at the state level.

Su Chen knew in his heart that the 680 heads were just a transition.

The next level in the main storyline is the 800-head challenge.

The grasslands can continue to expand, the cattle herd can continue to grow, and the door to the high-end market has been opened.

After the meeting, everyone entered a state of preparation for expanding the group.

Juan went to inspect the cattle truck and replaced the floorboards in the cargo box with new ones.

Louis went to prepare the fence for the quarantine area and patch up the gaps.

Emma went to the bank to confirm that the deposit had been received.

Old Tom went home, flipped through the auction house's calf catalog, and did his homework in advance.

The saline-alkali land on the west side was completely reborn, becoming the core support for the long-term development of the ranch.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the main house and glanced to the west.

The setting sun shone on the new pasture, making the grass gleam with a golden light.

Three hundred acres of wasteland have been transformed into an oasis.

Next week, 180 new calves will be arriving.

Six hundred and eighty heads.

We're just 120 head short of 800.

Su Chen turned around and went back to his study, turned on his computer, and began to look at the auction house's calf catalog.

More than 300 Angus calves.

Each animal has a number, weight, age in months, and quarantine record.

Su Chen flipped through the pages one by one, silently selecting the pages in his mind.

Old Tom was right; sick or weak oxen should not be kept.

But even good calves have to be snatched up.

There are many people at the auction, and you may not be able to buy what you want.

Su Chen picked up the phone and called Anderson.

"Let's leave early next Wednesday and go to the auction house to see the preview first."

.......

Su Chen sat in the study of the main house, with a stack of documents spread out in front of him.

Emma pushed open the door and came in, carrying a thick stack of documents, which she placed on the table.

"The land certificate, livestock management permit, epidemic prevention qualification record, and bank fund certificate are all ready."

Su Chen flipped to the first page and checked each item one by one.

The land certificate bears the red stamp of the Flathead County Land Administration.

The address, area, and boundary coordinates are all clearly stated.

The livestock operation license was just renewed last year and will be valid until the end of next year.

The record of compliance with epidemic prevention regulations is issued by the veterinarian.

The results of the three most recent comprehensive quarantine inspections of Sunset Ranch were recorded, and all were satisfactory.

The bank statement was issued by Manager Smith.

The account balance is sufficient to support the purchase of 180 calves.

"Have you contacted the auction house?"

Su Chen turned to the second page and asked without looking up.

Emma nodded.

"The reviewer from Montana Livestock Auction House said that once the documents are ready, they can be submitted, and the review period is two business days."

Su Chen arranged the documents in order and handed them to Emma.

"Scan and archive, keeping both an electronic copy and a paper copy as backups."

Emma took the document and turned to operate the scanner in the small office next door.

Su Chen leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

One hundred and eighty calves is no small number.

Auction houses require pre-qualification for bidding; that's the rule.

Without passing the preliminary review, you can't even get a license plate.

Su Chen wasn't worried that Sunset Ranch's qualifications were problematic.

In the past two years, the ranch has been operating in a standardized manner, and all the necessary procedures and taxes have been paid in full.

But he knew that this was a situation of large-scale bidding.

Auction houses will prioritize issuing bidding paddles to buyers with financial strength.

Those who lack the ability don't even qualify to enter.
