Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 85 - 83: That’s a Class II Protected Animal—You’re Just a Stray Cat!
Outside the cattle farm, Jiang Feng was feeding a calf with a bottle.
At first, the little guy was a bit shy, but after drinking the milk, it became much more obedient.
Jiang Feng stroked its head and it didn’t resist.
The mother cow was receiving an IV nearby, unable to turn her head easily, but she still slightly turned to keep her eyes on this side.
The other three cows on IVs were not doing much, just resting.
Niu Erhu was watching from the side.
Netizens admired Jiang Feng more and more.
[The owner usually keeps a low profile, who knew he was so capable!]
[The pillar of the ranch is not a joke!]
[These cows are really obedient!]
[The owner is really strong! The strongest man on the prairie!]
[I feel at ease seeing him show up!]
Jiang Feng fed the calf a bottle of milk, then observed the cows nearby.
Some cows still needed another bottle of medicine for their IV.
"I’ve been administering the IVs at a slow pace. I estimate the other cows will be back by the time it’s done."
"These cows need close attention."
Jiang Feng sat nearby, leisurely narrating.
Niu Erhu and Hadan, along with Gelya and Zhu Huo who stayed behind at the ranch, showed increasing admiration for Jiang Feng.
There are just a few people at the ranch, and in one night, everyone will know what happened today.
Jiang Feng’s status in their hearts was elevated further.
With excellent video production and livestreaming, he already had high prestige among the herders.
Add in his skills with horses and cattle care, and it’s no wonder he managed the ranch so well.
Jiang Feng was watching when Cat Boss approached, so he called to it, picked up the Tabby Cat, and placed it on his lap to pet.
Cat Boss didn’t hesitate, lounging sideward and exposing its belly, allowing Jiang Feng to stroke it.
The atmosphere inside the ranch was simple, yet warm.
From time to time, viewers entered the livestream, exclaiming:
[Wow, there are cows on IV drips here?]
Others would explain to them.
Such a unique scene always attracted many viewers.
Several short video creators edited clips of the IV scene and posted them online, receiving numerous likes.
Jiang Feng was always the slowest to post his own videos.
But there is a benefit in this, as short video creators gained traffic, they also brought him a lot of traffic.
Jiang Feng watched the sick cows for a while, then wandered around other areas of the ranch.
Around four in the afternoon, the veterinarian Liu He drove hurriedly to Jiang Feng’s ranch.
Jiang Feng had Niu Erhu cut a few pieces of watermelon for him. Although Liu He intended to refuse, seeing how good the watermelon looked, he ended up eating a few pieces.
"How are the cows doing?" he asked eagerly after eating the watermelon.
"In the open space there, a temporary fence has been set up." Jiang Feng guided Liu He to the spot where the cows were receiving IVs.
Seeing the four cows quietly receiving their drips, Liu He was somewhat surprised.
"Has someone come already? Everything seems to be in order?"
Jiang Feng replied, "Just to confirm, four cows being sick isn’t a small matter."
Subsequently, Liu He carefully examined the condition of the cows and discussed the treatment method with Jiang Feng.
After hearing Jiang Feng describe the treatment process, he was amazed:
"Your capability is perfectly fine, everything is correctly administered."
"Impressive!"
Liu He knew Jiang Feng was a major ranch owner and was quite courteous.
A ranch of this scale is classified as a medium-small enterprise. In fact, Jiang Feng had indeed received an invitation from Xilingol City as a young entrepreneur.
Regarding this, Jiang Feng was quite indifferent; he simply enjoyed the life on the prairie ranch.
"That’s good then, although I was feeling a bit uneasy. You know, the more cows there are, the greater the pressure." Jiang Feng replied with a smile.
Upon hearing these words, Liu He nodded.
Indeed, the risk in cattle farming is high.
Jiang Feng personally had a large ranch, over thirty thousand mu of pasture, and a thousand bales of hay, which made it relatively safe.
Ordinary ranchers, however, would be maxed out with about thirty cattle, and couldn’t manage more.
Many people rack up debts of tens of thousands due to cattle farming, and can only raise them slowly and repay gradually. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Alright then, no issues here, I’ll head off."
"I’m visiting Maodeng today, with two more ranches waiting for my visit."
After checking the cows, Liu He spoke to Jiang Feng.
"Thank you for your hard work, please take a few watermelons with you." Jiang Feng instructed Niu Erhu to place five watermelons in Liu He’s car.
Liu He did not refuse, drove off, and went on to visit the other ranches.
Returning to the cattle farm, the four cows showed significant improvement in their spirits after the IV.
Especially the two Ujumqin cattle, whose gazes became more lively.
However, this was only temporary; whether they could fully recover needed further observation.
The calf followed the mother tightly, but after being fed by Jiang Feng once, the little one was not as afraid of people.
It even approached Jiang Feng when it saw him coming.
The mother cow also looked at Jiang Feng with gratitude in her eyes.
"Keep a closer watch on these few cows, and also the one with digestive issues."
Jiang Feng instructed Niu Erhu, "I will closely monitor the cow’s condition in the coming days, as winter is approaching, let’s prevent any losses."
Hearing this, Niu Erhu nodded, "Manager, I will definitely keep a close watch."
Jiang Feng planned to stay around the cattle farm in the coming days, taking advantage of the good weather to check on the cows regularly.
Afterward, once the IVs were finished, Jiang Feng removed all the bottles from the cows and had them rest in individual pens.
He also asked Niu Erhu and Hadan to prepare clean water and fresh grass to feed the cows.
Once everything was taken care of, Jiang Feng finally felt relieved.
He returned to his house.
The Border Collie and Da Ying lived in his house, and Jiang Feng had also prepared a den for the Red Fox in the yard. However, this Red Fox was elusive and often not at the ranch, as it went to play in the wild.
Upon entering, Jiang Feng saw the Tabby Cat interacting closely with Da Ying.
The Tabby Cat had never seen Da Ying’s species, and Da Ying had never observed such a big-eyed creature up close before.
The Tabby Cat leaned in to sniff Da Ying’s scent, while Da Ying kept pecking at the Tabby Cat’s nose, and the Tabby Cat kept dodging.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng quickly went over, pointed at the Tabby Cat, and said:
"Cat Boss, you cannot touch this Da Ying. If you do, you’ll get me into trouble."
"It’s a second-class protected animal, and you’re just a countryside cat."
"Don’t overstep your bounds."
Though he said it like that, officially it would be handled based on the actual situation.
A hundred steps back, even if the Tabby Cat did eat Da Ying, it would be considered an accident, not poaching. After an investigation, the forestry bureau would only fine him, not imprison Jiang Feng for his fostered Da Ying being eaten.
The Tabby Cat knew Jiang Feng’s words were unfavorable, habitually revealing a fang and making a crooked grin.
Jiang Feng patted its head and ruffled the fur on its crown roughly.
Then, Jiang Feng’s gaze shifted to the young, featherless Da Ying.
It was his first time raising a wild Da Ying, and he had no experience.
How should he raise this creature?
"This thing looks like a goose, but its neck is shorter than a goose, and its color is gray. It looks like a duck, but it’s a size bigger than a duck."
"Let’s raise it like a big goose."
Jiang Feng made up his mind.
Jiang Feng made a nest for it in a cardboard box and placed it in the corner, but Da Ying seemed unimpressed.
At night, it ran off to sleep with the Little Border Collie.
When the Little Border Collie lay down, it would lay on top of the Little Border Collie to sleep.
The Little Border Collie had a good temperament, allowing it to do so.
The dog and Da Ying snuggled together.
Afterward, Da Ying and the Little Border Collie became inseparable, treating the Little Border Collie almost like a mother.
Meanwhile, the cardboard box caught the Tabby Cat’s interest, and it comfortably slept inside.
Jiang Feng sometimes felt emotional.
"My cat loves raising little chicks, and my dog raised a Da Ying."
"It’s really a bit ridiculous."
With more animals, all sorts of fun stories emerge.
Little animals are simple-hearted, expressing their emotions honestly; if they like something, they like it, and if they don’t, they don’t.
Therefore, young animals that grow up together tend to form deep friendships.
There are many examples of domestic cats and dogs becoming friends with pet chickens and ducks.
With many small animals on the ranch, it’s even more normal for them to play together.
