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

Su Chen nodded and began to set up the receiving process.

"The Black Fang wolf pack guards both sides of the transport route, while the Lingfeng team conducts high-altitude reconnaissance and reports the convoy's location in real time."

"Dazhuang is guarding the entrance to the reserve livestock shed and maintaining order."

"Ben was in charge of the quick medical check-up upon entry, while Juan was in charge of guiding the calves off the vehicle."

"Louis is in charge of zoning and placement, Old Tom is in charge of counting the number of people, and Emma is in charge of entry registration."

Everyone received their task and took their positions.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the spare livestock shed, using the Beast King Affinity skill to soothe the existing herd.

Avoid them from getting agitated by the arrival of the transport convoy.

The 500 cattle sensed the energy, quieted down, and continued to graze with their heads down.

Black Fang, leading his pack of wolves, stood at attention on both sides of the transport route.

Gray Shadow guards the east side, Gale guards the west side, and Snowclaw guards the north side.

Black Fang led two packs of wolves, pacing back and forth on the south side.

Any stranger who approaches will be intercepted immediately.

Lingfeng relayed a signal: the transport convoy has departed and is currently en route.

Su Chen notified everyone via walkie-talkie.

"The convoy has departed and is expected to arrive in two hours. Take your positions."

Forty minutes later, Ling Feng sent another signal:

The convoy has entered Flathead County and there are no abnormalities on the road.

Forty minutes later, Ling Feng sent the signal for the third time:

The convoy is approaching the ranch and will arrive in five minutes.

Su Chen walked to the entrance of the ranch and stood by the roadside.

Three large transport trucks slowly drove up, each carrying sixty calves.

The carriage had a sunshade and ventilation openings, and the calves stood inside.

Some were looking around, while others were looking down.

The convoy slowed down, entered the designated lane of the ranch, and stopped the vehicles in front of the spare livestock shed.

The workers got off the train and opened the rear door of the carriage.

Su Chen walked to the back of the first carriage.

Use the Beastmaster's Affinity skill to release warm energy and soothe the calves in the carriage.

The calves sensed the energy, and their previously tense eyes softened.

There was no commotion, no screams; everyone disembarked in an orderly fashion.

This station is next to the carriage exit.

Every time a calf came off the treadmill, he would use a thermometer to check its temperature.

Listen to the breathing with a stethoscope and observe the patient's mental state and gait.

"normal."

"normal."

"normal."

Ben's voice was steady and normal.

All sixty calves were unloaded from the truck in less than twenty minutes.

The second and third trucks unloaded the cattle in turn, and the process was equally smooth.

All 180 calves were moved into the spare livestock shed and housed in designated areas.

Juan guided the calf to the designated area.

Louis adjusted the fences to ensure that the number of calves in each area was even and not crowded.

Su Chen counted the quantity.

One hundred and eighty heads, not one missing and not one injured.

Emma was holding the record board.

Each item is registered, including its number, origin, batch, and entry time, and all information is recorded.

Old Tom went into the barn to observe how the calves were adapting.

Most of the calves stood in front of the feeding trough to eat the fodder.

Some were drinking water, while others were lying on the ground resting; their condition was stable.

Su Chen used the Beast King Affinity skill to scan the entire field.

Energy feedback was stable, and there were no individuals with excessive stress responses.

After completing the entry medical check, put away the temperature gun.

"All are normal; no individuals were found to have coughs, wheezing, diarrhea, or swollen joints. This batch of calves is indeed of good quality."

Su Chen walked into the livestock shed and touched the calf closest to him.

The calf raised its head and sniffed his hand with its nose, without flinching or showing any nervousness.

Su Chen checked the drinking water situation.

Louis had just changed the water; the water trough was filled with clean spring water.

The calves drank with great gusto, some even licking their lips after finishing.

The hay was freshly replaced; it was high-quality hay produced by Sunset Ranch itself, mixed with a small amount of concentrated feed.

The calves ate quickly, their mouths constantly chewing.

Su Chen took some time to survey the water distribution layout of the entire pastoral area.

He took a map of the ranch and walked outwards along the spring, marking the direction of the main pipeline.

The spring is located in the eastern district, and the main pipeline will be drawn from here.

The road was laid along the low-lying areas, passing through nine pastoral regions.

Su Chen marked several key points on the map:

Location of Lingquan spring outlet, booster pump, and main pipeline route.

Branch pipe interfaces, valve locations, and inspection port locations.

He walked around for almost an hour, his trouser legs were covered in dirt and his shoes were muddy.

Back in the main house, Su Chen called Mike's construction team.

"Mike, I have a project here: irrigation of the entire Lingquan region, covering nine pastoral areas."

"The main pipeline is at least three kilometers long, requiring the laying of pipes, the installation of booster pumps, valves, and inspection ports."

"Give me a price, as soon as possible."

Mike did some calculations on the other end of the phone.

"I'll go to the ranch tomorrow to take measurements and give you an accurate quote."

Su Chen hung up the phone and stood by the window.

Anderson's pickup truck was parked at the edge of the ranch.

He stood beside the vehicle, looking towards the direction of the spare livestock shed in the distance.

The arrival of 180 calves was quite a commotion.

Ranchers within a few kilometers all knew about it.

Su Chen went out and greeted Anderson through the fence.

Anderson stood with his hands in his pockets, his tone tinged with envy.

"Su, you've made quite a commotion, 180 heads."

"Adding the original five hundred, that makes six hundred and eighty. That's the largest ranch in Whitefish Town now, right?"

Su Chen smiled.

"The grassland is big enough to support the animals."

Anderson shook his head.

"In my shabby place, it would be difficult to raise even a hundred animals."

"When I have time, I'll come over to learn from you and see how you manage to make your pasture so good."

Su Chen nodded.

"You're welcome anytime."

Anderson drove away.

Su Chen turned and went back into the house, where Emma greeted him.

"Health records for 180 new calves have been established, and daily monitoring plans have been arranged."

"Old Tom developed a seven-day transition feeding plan to gradually adapt the feed to the pasture."

Su Chen took the folder, flipped through it, and then handed it back to her.

"Starting tomorrow, we will randomly check the health of twenty new calves every day for a week."

"Old Tom is in charge of the transitional feeding program, with Juan and Luis assisting."

Emma nodded and turned to make the arrangements.

Su Chen stood at the door, looking at the spare livestock shed.

One hundred and eighty new calves have settled down.

Six hundred and eighty cattle, a new record for Sunset Ranch.

.......

Su Chen got up early in the morning.

The first thing to do is to take stock of all the cattle on the ranch.

He took the record board and checked each pastoral area one by one.

Old Tom followed behind, also carrying a notepad.

The two counted separately and then reconciled the accounts.

Original stock: 500 heads.

New addition to the auction: 180 heads.

Total size of the cattle herd: 680 head.

Old Tom closed the recorder, his tone calm but with a hint of satisfaction.

"Six hundred and eighty head, just right at the grassland's safe carrying capacity, no more, no less."

A prompt appeared on the system panel:

[The cattle herd on the pasture has reached the safe carrying capacity of the grassland]

[It is recommended that the host improve grassland quality or expand grassland area.]

[Main Quest Progress: Herd Expansion Completed, Cattle Herd Size 680 Head]
