Afternoon.
Jiang Feng stood on the ranch, gazing into the distance.
Today he had been rounding up cattle and sheep all day; the situation inside the ranch was somewhat chaotic.
Most of Jiang Feng's time was spent watching the cattle and sheep, while the drone streamed live from the sky.
The number of people in the livestream room was consistently high.
His popularity was growing rapidly; the number of fans following him had already surpassed 400,000 and was still increasing quickly.
Nowadays is the era of traffic, but also the era of quality. As long as the video quality is truly high, many people will pay attention.
"Around this time, the flock should be coming back."
"Now that the sheep are here, let me see if the pen is big enough. If not, I'll have to build a few more pens."
Jiang Feng spoke to the netizens.
Before long, he saw traces of the white flock of sheep in the distant prairie.
The drone filmed towards the prairie.
Just then as far as the eye could see, a large flock of sheep sauntered towards the ranch. This scene looked harmonious and beautiful.
These sheep all belonged to Jiang Feng's family, naturally, Jiang Feng was the happiest.
"They've returned!"
"Seems like everything's normal!"
Jiang Feng said aloud.
At this moment, someone asked:
[Ranch owner, with the flock out, do you have enough manpower?]
Seeing this comment, Jiang Feng responded:
"On my family's side, it's a family pasture, vast and sparsely populated, with few people around. Everyone lets the flock graze near their homes, there the Han and Mongolian people live together, each has their own pastures."
"I'm going to tell an interesting fact, if you see cornfields in the prairie, don't be surprised; it's definitely planted by Han people."
"The prairie has insufficient rainfall, making it less suitable for growing crops, but you can plant corn and carrots among other things."
"Mongolian people never plant crops in large patches; they are naturally nomadic people, most adept at herding and breeding."
"Han people are skilled in both breeding and planting, so they raise cattle and sheep and also find suitable fields to grow crops, anyway there's plenty of land."
"While Maodeng Ranch is a concentrated pasture; after renting the land, people set up signs and fences to demarcate their own pastures."
"My pasture boundaries all have fences and signs."
"Meaning, I only need to keep an eye on the surrounding area when herding sheep, ensuring they don't run out of my pasture."
"On such a large pasture, the sheep won't run out, it's not necessary to watch them closely."
"Three or four people are absolutely enough."
Jiang Feng shared information about the ranch.
Each person's life is different; it's hard to explain quickly.
But people could generally understand the herders' lifestyle from his account.
Netizens nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the flock was already near the ranch.
However, sheep have low intelligence; even if they return to the ranch, they don't know where to go.
The leading sheep in the front stopped, and the dense flock behind them followed suit.
Jiang Feng watched from the side and then said:
"The leading sheep doesn't want to go in, and so the rest don't move."
"It's almost like a traffic jam; every return causes a sheep jam."
Netizens watching the live stream saw the flock of sheep jammed at the ranch gate and found it quite amusing.
[Hahaha, the ranch is jammed with sheep!]
[Why aren't these sheep moving? They're so cute!]
[So many sheep! Wow, they look truly spectacular!]
[Where's the traffic cop?]
Just then, Lucky and Wealthy, the two Border Collies, were supervising around the flock.
Upon realizing the sheep weren't moving, the golden Border Collie swiftly ran to the front from the side.
"Woof woof woof!"
It threatened the leading sheep with its barking.
The Border Collie's actions were seen by the netizens, and many left comments dubbing for the dog.
[What are you waiting for? Move, don't you know it's jammed behind?]
[Move or I'll bite you!]
[Three points deducted, fined two hundred!]
The leading sheep heard the Border Collie's barking and immediately ran into the pen from the gate.
Once it entered, the rest of the sheep, fearful, rushed inside continuously.
The Border Collie stood by the side of the pen, keeping an eye.
The sheep dared not face the Border Collie, they just rushed into the pen, and soon the flock poured in like a stream, filling the pen.
Jiang Feng walked up, patted the collie's head, and closed the pen's gate.
He surveyed the situation inside the pen and remarked:
"Hmm, almost there, all four large pens are full."
"Next time I release them, I'll release them all together."
At this time, Yang Maolin came over carrying a thermos cup.
He looked at Jiang Feng and said:
"Boss, today a few big Mongolian lads rode past the north side of the prairie, passing through our pasture, I went to inquire about the situation."
Upon hearing Yang Maolin, Jiang Feng immediately looked over and asked:
"What happened? Why did they go so deep? Going further north is wild country."
Yang Maolin replied:
"It's over at Xiaoxi Slope; there's a solitary second-generation wild horse, its condition is excellent, very fast. Those herders want to tame that second-generation wild horse and have come to capture it."
"But they weren't successful."
Jiang Feng showed a hint of surprise, "Not successful?"
"That really is a good horse!"
Thinking of this, he grew even more excited.
But now it's getting dark, it's not possible to go to the prairie at night.
The reason is simple, the prairie is pitch black at night, almost where you can't see your hand stretched out, the human vision is limited.
Many animals will appear at night.
Such as wolves.
Maodeng Ranch is relatively safe, being a tourist area, wolves are quite far from here.
But you can't entirely rule out their appearance.
Wolves and herders have always been adversaries. During the day, wolves hide far away, where herders can't see them, but come night, they'll gather around the herders' ranches.
They hunt sheep, and even dogs.
In some previous cases, dogs tied near their kennels couldn't escape when wolves came, and were surrounded and dragged away by several wolves.
So dogs in the herders' area aren't tied with chains.
"Old Yang, tomorrow I'll go herding with you, I also want to visit that place."
"See if I can tame it back."
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.
Wild horses in the depths of the prairie are generally not tamed by herders.
Adult wild horses have a fierce nature, they can harm people; if forcibly tied, they'll struggle till death.
Additionally, wild horses are protected animals, and you can't harm them casually; for nomadic people, taming them for breeding is allowed, but even then, you can't kill them; violating this is illegal.
Wild horses look different from domesticated ones.
Many herders will let their domesticated horses roam the prairie, often mixing and playing with wild horses.
Hence, you'll occasionally find mixed-blood second-generation horses between domestic and wild ones.
Their talent varies greatly; some possess excellent talent, retaining the domesticated horse's compliance and the wild horse's fierce strength, though such occurrences are rare!
There are legends about such superb horses circulating in the prairie, listening to these stories never fails to stir one's blood.
Yang Maolin heard Jiang Feng saying he wants to tame that wild horse and quickly advised:
"You need to be careful, those guys are professional horse tamers but haven't captured it, that wild horse is tough!"
Jiang Feng smiled hearing this:
"Relax, I know what I'm doing."
