Chapter 306: Chapter 303: All Lambs Get a Checkup—Now That’s Professional!

Life at the ranch is orderly.

In the morning, the sunshine is just right, and today is the hottest day since spring began. Just wearing a light outer garment doesn’t feel cold.

The cattle and sheep at the ranch return to the outdoor pen for a period of activity every day.

And today, the staff got together to put all the lambs into one pen.

In the two enclosed pens, one side is the ewes, and the other is all lambs.

Jiang Feng and Lin Wansen both changed into white lab coats, looking very professional.

The live broadcast is simultaneously live.

Seeing so many lambs in the pen, netizens were quite curious.

[What is the owner doing? Kidnapping hostages?]

[Have all the lambs been called out?]

[So many lambs, I want to take a couple home to raise.]

Netizens are all enjoying the spectacle.

A large group of adorable lambs gathered densely together, making baaing sounds, even people with trypophobia feel relaxed seeing this scene.

Jiang Feng appeared in the live broadcast wearing a white lab coat.

Seeing his appearance, the netizens’ eyes lit up, and they couldn’t help but laugh.

[Why is the owner wearing a white lab coat!]

[I have to say, he looks quite professional!]

[Doctor, I want an injection, give me a few more!]

[Let the owner’s big syringe treat you well!]

Jiang Feng didn’t look at the bullet comments but said to everyone:

"Taking advantage of the good weather today, let’s give all the lambs a check-up."

"The lambs just born, not all of them are in good condition, there are definitely some sick ones that need care."

"Usually there are too many sheep to care for."

"Now we’ve gathered them specifically to check them one by one."

"The check is just a visual inspection, it’s not complicated."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng and Lin Wansen came to the pen’s gate.

Yang Maolin, Zhu Huo, and Hadan were inside driving the sheep out.

The check-up process was quick, Jiang Feng picked up a lamb, inspected its face closely.

Then released it from the pen.

The netizens who saw this were slightly stunned.

Is that it?

Is this a check-up?

Isn’t this just holding and counting sheep?

Jiang Feng guessed everyone’s doubts and explained:

"Judging if a lamb is sick is straightforward."

"Just look at the eyes and mouth and nose."

"Healthy lambs have pale red eye mucous membranes, and clean areas around the nostrils."

"As long as the eyes are normal, and the areas around the nose are normal, they’re healthy."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng looked at several lambs in a row, and released them from the pen.

At this point, Jiang Feng picked up another lamb, looking at it for a bit longer.

He zoomed in the drone camera and said to the netizens in the live stream:

"Look at this lamb, its eye mucous membranes are yellowish, there’s mucus around the nostrils, and more secretions at the corner of the eyes."

"These are signs of illness."

"Another method of judgment is checking the lamb’s tongue."

Jiang Feng placed his hands at the corners of the lamb’s mouth and gently pinched, the lamb’s tongue stuck out.

"A normal lamb’s tongue is moist and red, with no odor. Sick lambs’ tongues are dry, with mucus in the mouth."

"These are all bases for judgment."

With that, Jiang Feng handed the lamb to Bugude.

"Take this lamb to the medical room over there," he instructed.

"Alright." Bugude, holding the lamb, walked towards the sheep pen.

Then, Jiang Feng continued to check the lambs.

Still at a quick pace, just a glance at the lamb’s face before releasing them.

After listening to Jiang Feng’s explanation, the netizens understood the reason for the check-up.

[I see, the owner is truly professional!]

[People with skill are really different!]

[In my eyes, all these lambs look the same!]

[Can every lamb be held once?]

The speed of checking the lambs was swift.

With each lamb inspected, they would be placed in another pen to find their mothers.

Taking advantage of the good weather to bask in the sun.

During this process, a few lambs occasionally had issues and would be individually cared for.

Several Border Collies lay nearby, observing the scene.

Border Collies are the most loyal employees at the ranch, they know their duties.

So generally, any activities involving sheep, the Border Collies would follow along.

In the live broadcast, one lamb after another is picked up, cutely staring at Jiang Feng in his arms, then let go.

It looks very comforting.

Until around noon, all the lambs were checked.

Life at the ranch is like this, sometimes counting sheep, or deworming, doing health checks, are all arranged outdoors like this.

Once done, we can rest in the afternoon.

"Luckily, the vast majority of lambs are pretty healthy, no big issues."

"Still, some lambs are sick."

"Sheep are especially fragile; sometimes just a rain, a cold can be deadly."

"This is all very normal, hence why it’s important to care for them as much as possible."

Jiang Feng stood up, took a breath, and said.

Everyone in the livestock industry knows that the mortality rate of livestock is actually quite high.

For example, if you raise chickens in the mountains, and buy a hundred chickens, it’s impressive if you can keep 60 alive after half a year.

The mortality rate for chickens is very high.

The mortality rate for cattle and sheep is about 10%, meaning out of a thousand sheep, about 100 might die of illness.

Of course, the environment in large farms is better, thus the mortality rate is relatively lower, possibly down to 5%.

But cattle and sheep can still disappear just like that.

Jiang Feng looked at the crowded flock of sheep in the adjacent pen and organized the staff to drive the ewes and lambs into that pen, letting them exercise and bask in the sun today.

They would drive them back in the afternoon.

After all the busy work was done, Jiang Feng organized everyone for a meal.

In the afternoon, while resting, Jiang Feng took the dogs and the white Sika Deer for a stroll around the ranch.

Walking the dogs, the Sika Deer, and the llamas has become part of his daily routine.

Whenever there’s nothing to do, he would wander around.

While wandering, Jiang Feng arrived at the large greenhouse he had set up.

Since the last time he planted pumpkins, the greenhouse had been left empty.

The three giant pumpkins caused quite a sensation, and the video received a lot of likes.

Although Jiang Feng mainly focuses on live streaming, his standing in the agricultural industry is well established.

People working in agriculture admire him greatly.

Some students from the Agricultural University even contacted Jiang Feng, saying they were in their senior year internships and wanted to learn farming at Jiang Feng’s ranch.

Jiang Feng can grow big white radishes and giant pumpkins that are almost record-breaking.

Such feats make him a legendary figure at the Agricultural University.

And the school would probably want to commemorate him.

Thus, many university students aspire to learn planting from him.

For this, Jiang Feng has temporarily declined.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to teach; actually, Jiang Feng has the skills of a planting master, but in planting, seeds are also crucial.

His seeds are of excellent quality and weren’t developed or researched by him.

So in terms of research, Jiang Feng can’t be much help.

But if it’s about cultivating well, he is interested.

"This greenhouse was built but left empty, it’s a bit wasteful."

Jiang Feng looked at the greenhouse, pondering.

"I should plant something."

"Now that it’s spring, my vegetable patch needs to be planted too."

"I’m still a bit busy."

The vegetable garden is walled, protecting against wind and sand, making it easier for some radishes and peppers to survive well.

This time, without being able to take the sheep out to graze, Jiang Feng considered planting vegetables.

The talent for planting is already embedded in the Han People’s genes.

Many young people think, I just don’t like planting vegetables, and can’t possibly plant.

But as you get older, you’ll find out.

If you are a woman, you’ll develop a liking for flowers and plants, wanting to grow flowers or photograph them.

If you are a man, you’ll enjoy brewing tea, looking at bamboo, raising fish, as long as you can sit still and rest.

This is truly a natural talent.

Even though Jiang Feng is very relaxed, he never shirks his responsibilities.

Moreover, the greenhouse cost money to build, and not planting anything is indeed wasteful.

In common terms, it’s "built, might as well use it."

"The temperature inside the greenhouse is relatively warm, allowing for off-season vegetables and fruits to be grown."

"How about I plant some fruits."

Jiang Feng said.

Hearing his words, the netizens got excited again.

[Host, plant durians! Plant durians!]

[Plant coconuts!]

[Plant bananas!]

Seeing these bullet comments, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh.

"The greenhouse can grow off-season fruits, but it can’t grow tropical fruits."

"That would require a greenhouse with temperature control, running high temperatures twenty-four hours a day, with outrageous costs, no one does that."

"I’ll just plant some ordinary fruits." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Like grapes, watermelons, strawberries, and such."

"You can’t grow fruit trees well in the grasslands, these fruits should be enough for daily personal consumption."

Jiang Feng explained to everyone.

Netizens naturally know that tropical fruits are hard to grow, they just wanted to stir up some fun.

Jiang Feng walked towards the greenhouse, and the dogs immediately followed.

The white Sika Deer watched for a moment, hesitated slightly, then followed.

It was a bit dark inside, with some scattered weeds on the ground; if you want to plant, you have to weed and till the land.

But that’s not difficult.

"Let’s plant some grapes, once the trellis is set up, they should grow."

"The little fox likes grapes, the Sika Deer and llamas can also eat fruits."

"Grow some fruits to feed them."

Jiang Feng thought about the many animals he had to take care of and spoke again.

Then, he walked out of the greenhouse and continued to wander outside.

The little ones quickly followed.

As Jiang Feng walked out, surrounded by Border Collies and Sika Deer, two little foxes also popped out.

Seeing so many animals around him, netizens jokingly called this scene "the child of nature going for an excursion!"

It indeed looked delightful.
