In the yard, two roast whole lambs are almost ready.
At this moment, the sound of car engines roared outside the ranch.
Along with the engine sounds was a chorus of sheep bleating.
Jiang Feng stood up and saw four large trucks transporting sheep coming this way.
The drone quickly switched to live stream them.
"They're my sheep, my sheep have arrived." Jiang Feng said excitedly.
"Old Yang, my lamb is ready, let's take it down. It'll be hot and ready to eat soon."
"I'll go check on the sheep, you keep an eye here."
Jiang Feng said to Yang Maolin.
"No problem, leave it to me." Yang Maolin responded with a laugh.
Jiang Feng gave his hands a quick wipe, not bothering to wash them, and hurried out.
The live stream currently has over 8,000 people watching online.
These viewers saw the sheep arriving and got excited too.
[The streamer's sheep are here!]
[He's really a ranch owner!]
[How many sheep did they bring?]
[Looks like three to four hundred sheep.]
The trucks transporting the sheep are all large ones, each truck can carry around one hundred sheep. Their home is less than a hundred kilometers from here, a two-hour drive brought them over.
Jiang Shan opened the passenger door and got out of the car.
As soon as he opened the door, a black Border Collie and a golden Border Collie ran out.
The two Border Collies are extremely clever and immediately ran excitedly to Jiang Feng's feet, playfully circling around him.
"Lucky, Wealthy."
"Go, herd all the sheep into that pen!"
Jiang Feng pointed to the open pen door and spoke to the two Border Collies.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Border Collies understood his meaning and ran to the back of the truck, ready to herd the sheep.
The sheep got off the truck looking bewildered.
These sheep looked around, timid and frightened, not knowing what was happening.
The two Border Collies worked together, one on the left and one on the right, starting to herd.
They pushed forward which scared the sheep, causing them to avoid the Collies.
Once the first sheep was herded towards the pen, the others quickly followed suit.
The originally empty ranch suddenly became lively.
The sudden appearance of the sheep herd and the Border Collies dazzled the viewers. The coordinated herding scene especially drew exclamations.
[Such smart Border Collies!]
[Haha, this is what Border Collies are meant for!]
[They cooperate so well!]
[They look good too, so adorable!]
Jiang Feng explained to the viewers:
"My sheep have arrived, just brought over three hundred today. The next couple of days we expect to bring all four thousand sheep over."
"As for cattle, there are currently two hundred beef cows and twenty dairy cows."
"The ranch isn't very big yet, hasn't been fully built, so there are fewer cattle and sheep."
"Once things stabilize, I'll buy more cattle and sheep."
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, the viewers were somewhat stunned.
[Whoa, really? Planning to raise four thousand sheep?]
[Can someone calculate the total cost?]
[Each sheep is roughly 400 to 700 bucks, at 400 bucks each, that's 1.6 million.]
[Cows are pricy, at least 5 to 6 thousand each, even two hundred would be at least a million.]
[Dairy cows would be 30 to 50 thousand each, twenty would be a few hundred thousand.]
[Are your cattle and sheep prices from last century? If your prices were that low, the rancher would cry! At least half was lowballed!]
[Wow, are they so rich?]
The comment section buzzed instantly.
Jiang Feng, upon seeing the comments, said: "Under normal circumstances, one acre of pasture can support 5 sheep, so with ten thousand acres, I can raise fifty thousand sheep."
"But I also want to raise cattle, horses, and later add some camels."
"Therefore, I'm planning to raise ten thousand sheep which should be enough."
"This is just the start, the number of cattle and sheep will gradually increase."
Jiang Feng's words left everyone surprised once more.
[Rich person, let's be friends!]
[Grandmaster, still recruiting subordinates?]
[Gift me 50 sheep to prove yourself!]
[This streamer is amazing! Definitely following!]
At that time, Jiang Shan came down holding a palm-sized golden Border Collie.
This golden Border Collie is the offspring of Lucky and Wealthy, named Xiaojin Hua because the white patch on its chest resembles a flower.
"How about it? This pasture is nice, right? I checked, the grass here is definitely good."
"Come autumn you can cut grass, stack it as hay for storage, then you have feed for winter!"
"Raising twenty to thirty thousand sheep is a piece of cake."
Jiang Shan was very satisfied with this pasture, feeling his money was well spent.
"It's indeed quite good, I've checked, no issues." Jiang Feng nodded in response.
Then he added: "Dad, I'm doing a live stream here."
Upon hearing him, Jiang Shan grew interested, glanced at the drone, then laughed:
"Live streaming is great nowadays, many ranches are doing it, even selling their agricultural products."
"Keep it up!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng replied with a smile: "What you're talking about is making videos and then selling products via live streams, I'm streaming daily life, doing outdoor stuff, not selling products."
"It's all the same," Jiang Shan replied.
Not long after, the two Border Collies had herded all the sheep into the pen.
The ranch staff added some forage to the sheep pen.
Sheep can be easily startled after coming by truck, so give them some grass to calm them down.
Meanwhile, everyone else gathered in the yard, bringing out small plates and a case of Hetao Wang white liquor, ready to drink to their heart's content.
Jiang Feng sat on a chair, put Xiaojin Hua on the ground to amuse it.
This little Border Collie was especially small, adorably cute.
Its ears were slightly large, appearing very lively.
The viewers found this little puppy adorable, staring without blinking.
"Xiaojin Hua," Jiang Feng softly called.
"Woof woo~" the little Border Collie responded.
"Sit!" Jiang Feng attempted to train.
The little Border Collie tilted its head, expression confused and somewhat silly.
On the side, Lucky and Wealthy watched this scene with concern.
It was clear that the parents were nervous about their pup's first lesson.
Lucky even wished it could come and teach personally.
Seeing Xiaojin Hua's silly look, viewers burst into laughter.
[Such an adorable little puppy!]
[Isn't it too young, not even a month old? Already starting training!]
[It will have to learn herding in the future, education begins with the young!]
[That pair of Border Collies seems really worried!]
Jiang Feng noticed Lucky and Wealthy and thought about it.
"Lucky, Wealthy, come here!"
Jiang Feng called out.
The two Border Collies immediately cooperated by running over, one on each side of Xiaojin Hua, like guards.
Then, Jiang Feng commanded them: "Sit!"
The two Border Collies immediately sat up straight.
Next, Jiang Feng instructed Xiaojin Hua: "Sit!"
Xiaojin Hua, extremely smart, looked left and right, then imitated its parents and sat down in a proper manner.
Seeing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile heartily.
"Really smart! Well done!"
The livestream viewers were also full of joy.
