The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 253 252. Eight hundred calves
The price offered by the Indians is as good as ever. Eight hundred calves in May and June are still only $500,000, the same price as last time.

You must know that last time there were only 258 cattle in total, including more than adult cattle.

The price of adult cattle is several times that of calves. This time I bought all calves, which only cost 625 US dollars per head.

The market price is basically around seven or eight hundred, and Jorge can be said to be full of sincerity.

"Mr. Lin, I estimate that it won't be long before your ranch has more than a thousand cows. This will be easy for you." Jorge said with a smile.

During this time, Geronimo went to Peru, South America, where he attended the Native American Congress. He has been committed to uniting compatriots around the world to improve the social status of indigenous peoples.

To some extent, he is also an admirable figure.

Lin Feng said frankly: "I'll give you a good word, but my pasture has reached its maximum carrying capacity. If I want to expand the scale, I can only continue to buy land. But as you know, the USDA approval process is much stricter than before. This is the biggest obstacle.”

He has been paying attention to the movements of the quiet meadow. Now that the old Macron is still in hospital, the ranch affairs have been handed over to Nicholas to take care of, but his brother George seems to be ready to make a move.

This is what Lin Feng heard about, and he doesn't know the specific situation.

David and Charlie had just finished checking the quality of the calves and were very busy.

Jorge said before that they sell cattle to avoid inbreeding. Most of the calves in the entire reservation come from three breeding cows, so they must sell some and add new blood.

David nodded, "They're all very strong, even better than the ones I bought before."

After signing the contract, Jorge sent someone to send a car to take him from the highland tent to the grass below.

The capacity was suddenly expanded from 300 cows to 800. Although most of them were calves, it was still a challenge for Lin Feng. After all, he had never managed so many cows before.

Together with his previous savings, Lin Feng now has 640 million in cash, and he seems to be able to handle anything with ease.

With more and more cash on hand, Lakeside Ranch has become more and more eager to annex Tranquility Meadows, which is like a stone pressed into the crater of a volcano, unable to stop the violent eruption of a volcano.

Doing business with reservations must be reported to the BIA, which is the Bureau of Indian Affairs, so you don’t have to worry about anything fishy. After all, there are guarantees from relevant departments.

After finalizing the final details with Jorge and signing for confirmation, the transaction was considered successfully completed.

After listening to the uncle, Lin Feng looked at Charlie and he said similar words, so there was nothing to worry about.

"How is the situation?" Lin Feng asked.

The federal government also hopes to promote trade with the reservations, which will enhance the government's image and status in the minds of the indigenous peoples, as if they respect the indigenous peoples.

Just as the Lakeside Ranch trio was about to leave, Lin Feng suddenly received a call from Jasmine.

Like a bolt from the blue!
On the day he was injured by the speedsters, old McClun was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He had been in good condition before. Yesterday, he heard that he would be discharged soon, but he suddenly had an accident.

In addition, the fifty cows in the pasture are on the verge of giving birth. These are all new things.

Stavin McClun, also known as MacLun Sr., has died.

According to the agreement, the livestock transport truck from the reservation drove into the lakeside pasture three days later and delivered 800 calves one after another. After that, Lin Feng paid the balance.

David and Charlie were checking the condition of the calves on the grass and feeding back what they saw to Lin Feng through their mobile phones.

I thought it would be a common flirtation, but the news that Jasmine brought made Lin Feng speechless for a moment.

Pasture is not a problem. What Lin Feng is most worried about is infectious diseases or genetic defects caused by too many varieties.

Charlie is a cautious person, and if he says there is no problem, it really means there is no problem.

"Why is it so sudden?" Lin Feng asked.

Jasmine's tone was very low, "It seems to be a sudden infection. I don't know the specific cause."

"I'll go to the hospital right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng told the other two people the news.

David and Charlie couldn't accept it either, especially David, who was once a livestock policeman and worked with old MacLun. "God forbid this is true."

David shook his head repeatedly, but this had become an unchangeable fact.

Stavin McClun is one of the most respected old men in Riverdale.

He was a veteran figure who followed Ben Grando to conquer the world. He was a famous sharpshooter back then, but he unexpectedly fell to the bullet in the end.

The three immediately drove to the hospital.

Along the way, David talked about his past with old MacLun. Those past laughter and hardships have become memories that cannot be erased in his heart.

Lin Feng also expressed emotion. At the last meeting, the scene where the old man got up to help him stand up was still vivid in his mind.

He is the spiritual symbol of the cowboys in Riverdale.

When he arrived at the hospital, Lin Feng saw Hans and Jasmine. His little girlfriend's eyes were red and she had obviously just cried.

Normally she is a strong girl who doesn't cry easily.

Seeing Lin Feng, Jia Simin couldn't help wiping away tears again, like a wronged little girl.

"I'm really sad, Stavin is like a grandpa to me," Jasmine choked up.

Lin Feng patted her shoulder gently, then held her in his arms and wiped her tears with a tissue.

Many people came, and the corridor of the hospital at Nuovo University was filled with cowboys, all old acquaintances.

Jasmine's dad is here too.

Lin Feng looked at Hans and whispered: "What can we do now?"

Hans sighed, "His family is dealing with funeral arrangements, and he may go to help later. In addition, I think a memorial service should be held for old McClun."

Lin Feng nodded, "This is what it should be."

"Who's in there?" he asked again.

Hans said: "George McClung, and his wife and mother."

George is the second son of MacLean Sr.

"Where's Nicholas?"

"He is responsible for ranch management during this period and is probably on his way."

Sure enough, not long after, old Macron's eldest son Nicholas ran in in a hurry, looking a little panicked.

Followed by his wife, a somewhat thin woman.

"Hey!"

Lin Feng grabbed him.

Nicholas then stopped to take a few deep breaths and straightened his clothes.

The last prayer ceremony was going on in the ward, and Nicholas and his wife pushed open the door and entered.

Lin Feng caught a glimpse of George through the crack in the door.

The two sons of old McClun have been fighting secretly for the inheritance of the ranch. Now that the old man has passed away, it is probably not too far away that the brothers will turn against each other.

Jasmine leaned on Lin Feng's shoulder, her mood was much more stable now.

There was silence in the corridor. Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.
