Chapter 128: The Cattle Show (Fifth Watch)
"Wow, there are quite a lot of things here." Looking at the animals stored in the surrounding tents, Jiang Hai said with some surprise.
"Of course, young man, but this is only a ranching show in Massachusetts. If it's in the east, maybe it's in the whole country, it will be even bigger." Hearing what he said, the person who was brushing the horse's mane at the next booth also He said with a smile.
"Hehe!" Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Hai nodded kindly, and continued to stroll here.
"Is this the first time for you to participate in such a herding exhibition?" Looking at Jiang Hai's curious eyes, Sandy Clive, who followed him in, also followed behind him, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. asked him.
"Well, yes!" Hearing what she said, Jiang Hai didn't think too much, so he replied directly that his eyes are not enough now. Although this ranching show is only in Massachusetts, but this The scale is somewhat beyond his expectation.
He had only heard of the animal husbandry exhibition before, and this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. Originally, he thought that the animal husbandry exhibition in one state would probably be a dozen or twenty booths, which would be considered good. After all, Massachusetts itself is a small state.
On the map of the US emperor, it is very difficult to see the small states clearly, but when he got here, he realized that he was a little too naive.
The entire site covers an area of about four square kilometers, that is, two kilometers horizontally and two kilometers vertically.
Like the Tian characters of Chinese characters, it is divided into four areas, namely the cattle exhibition hall, horse exhibition hall, sheep exhibition hall and supporting exhibition halls.
Jiang Hai is coming in now. It was the horse exhibition hall. As soon as he walked in, he found that there were at least thirty or forty individual exhibition halls here. Of course, this is not a game exhibition, or an exhibition such as a food price exhibition. Those exhibitions are indoors, and a model will be invited. But this exhibition is outside, and it is said to be a separate exhibition hall, but in fact, it is a separate stable, and many horses are locked in the stable. Let others choose, of course there will be some not for sale, such as the horse of the person who talked to Jiang Hai just now, this person's horse is a very good horse, a pure white thoroughbred horse, this is in the UK, but it has to be used as a horse. The horses of the royal guard. Moreover, the pedigree certificates hanging next to it are quite complete, and they have even participated in a dressage competition. In front of the stable just now, there is a TV connected to it, which shows the situation of the horse during the competition.
Such a horse is sold, if it is in the prime of life, if you want to sell it. Millions of dollars is not uncommon.
But obviously, that person doesn't know how to kill chickens to get eggs. What he sells are mainly the offspring of this horse. If he finds a horse that is also purebred, all the offspring will be one-year-old ponies. Well, it will cost hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even if the quality is not very good, it can be sold for tens of thousands, which is much more expensive than ordinary horses.
Jiang Hai doesn't know much about horses. He is here now, and he just came to watch the fun. After all, the big shire in his house is still in a state of stocking. There is no way to buy this horse. After the horse, he didn't have time to domesticate it. In his opinion, riding a horse is actually not an easy task. This needs to be learned alone. At the time, Robbins and the others were very busy, and he didn't have that Mind to learn.
But looking at these horses now, he has the urge to go back and ride. Of course, even if he rides, he can't ride now.
Jiang Hai is going to learn to ride a horse when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Jiang Hai believes that if he wants to ride a horse, this guy will not resist because of the time he has been feeding that horse for so long and his own blood.
While thinking, Jiang Hai walked out of the barn with Sandy Clive.
Although Jiang Hai is very curious about the animal husbandry exhibition, he is mainly curious about cattle. Compared with people with cowboy plots, horses are naturally a good thing, but for Jiang Hai, horses are still a means of transportation. It's just a tool.
He is not a professional cowboy, so he is not too interested in horses. The most important thing is that the horses here are really not cheap.
Walking around with Shandi, Er Cong also walked past the stables, and entered the largest and densest market next to it. In the cattle exhibition hall, as soon as he walked in, a smell of cattle greeted him. Jiang Hai's nose rushed in.
Even Sandy couldn't help covering her nose with her hands, let alone Jiang Hai.
"Cough cough, it's so choking." Turning his head away, Jiang Hai was coughed, and he couldn't help frowning, and said cautiously.
Although the taste here is not as strong as that of our own cowshed, it is definitely not bad.
"Hey, thanks to the fact that you are still the owner of the manor, you can't stand the smell of cows!" Seeing Jiang Hai's appearance, Sandy, who was beside him, smiled and took out a piece of paper from her small bag. The handkerchief was handed to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai immediately took the paper and put it on his nose, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. The handkerchief paper is very fragrant, and Jiang Hai also knows that this is an artificial fragrance, which is not good for the human body, but smelling This smell is also stronger than smelling cow fart.
"Phew, that's why I hardly go into our cowshed. Even if I go in, I have to wear a mask." Taking a deep breath, I finally recovered, and then looked at the smiling Sandy Clay Husband, Jiang Hai shrugged and said.
"You, you still need to get used to it early. Although Uncle Robbins and the others are good people, it is your own business after all, and you have to know it well." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Sandy Clive chuckled Talked up.
"This is natural... By the way, do you know? Some people say that the main reason for global warming is that cows fart too much. Almost a few cows fart a year, and they have to catch up with the previous one." It emits the same exhaust as a car." Hearing what Sandy Clive said, Jiang Hai smiled a little embarrassingly, he was also a little embarrassed when a beautiful woman said that, so he changed the topic, but this topic The rotation is not ordinary blunt.
"Uh, hehe..." Sandy Clive didn't know how to respond to Jiang Hai's words.
Do you want to talk to him about cow farting? Don't be kidding, but fortunately Sandy Clive knows Jiang Hai's character and doesn't care.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Hai's character is still a bit of a secondary school, at least he did not show his superior emotional intelligence.
It seems that the real dragon spirit, although it can strengthen his physique and increase his memory, it has no change in his emotional intelligence. Seeing that Sandy Clive is not interested in talking about cow farting go down.
Jiang Hai also curled his lips. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with saying such a thing at this time, but it was a pity that he couldn't show off his knowledge, and then he walked into the cattle exhibition hall next to him, covering his nose.
As soon as I walked in, the smell was really choking, but after a short time, it got better.
This cattle exhibition hall is much more lively than the horse exhibition hall. There are even hundreds of booths, but most of the booths are booths of private family farms. There are not many cows in it, but the style But it is varied.
In addition to the Angus cattle that Jiang Hai is very familiar with, there are many other types of beef cattle.
What about Piedmont, Limousin, Simmental, Charolais, Hereford, etc. In addition to beef cattle, there are also dairy cows and draft cattle here, although in the United States, it has long been There is no need for cattle to cultivate the land, but some people are still willing to collect a few cattle for use, so the cattle here are really diverse.
Looking at the cows in front of him, Jiang Hai also followed Sandy Clive, chatting without saying a word, looking at the various cows in front of him, but when he was walking, suddenly, a cow entered his eyes, Yes, it is one cow, not a group, because there is one cow in this exhibition hall at this time. This exhibition hall is definitely not small, and it is not a problem to put ordinary cows, a dozen or so, but at this time there is only one cow. , but even if there is only one cow, it makes the cowshed look a lot smaller.
Looking at the cow, Jiang Hai walked over slowly. The cow was big and tall, even taller than Jiang Hai.
The body length is also much longer than that of ordinary cattle. Jiang Hai took a look and found that it was almost three meters long.
The whole body is covered with thick hair, and there are a pair of small horns on the top of the head. Although the horns are not big according to its proportion, they are extremely sharp. A pair of eyes stared at all the people with vigilance. People, look and go there.
"This is an American bison?" Seeing this huge guy, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he asked Sandy Clive suspiciously, because he seemed to have seen it in a zoo. This guy, with his appearance like this, obviously couldn't be an ordinary domestic cow, so he must be a bison!
"It seems, it is..." Sandy Clive is not specialized in studying cattle, but she is a primary school teacher, leading the children to the zoo, and naturally they need them to explain, looking at the cow in front of her , she also said something uncertain.
"You really have a good eye. This is indeed an American bison, but it is not wild. The wild ones are all in Yellowstone Park. This one is a test product cultivated privately by our school. This time, we are here to participate in the exhibition mainly to raise funds. Domesticate this kind of cattle.” Just when Jiang Hai and Sandy Clive were a little uncertain, a young man walked over from the side, compared to other exhibition halls, either in suits or cowboys Everyone, the clothes on this person will look much more ordinary.
It was just a down jacket with a school badge pinned to the chest. Jiang Hai didn't know what the school badge represented, but Sandy Clive knew it. Hearing what this person said, he nodded proactively.
"Are you students of Boston University?" Looking at the person in front of her, Sandy Clive asked a little strangely.
"Oh, yes, we are majors in ecological evolution, and the subject of our research is the large-scale domestication of wild animals." Hearing Sandy's words, the students here immediately answered with a smile, and they can answer the beauty's question , that is a great honor. (To be continued.)
