Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Buffalo

As Lu Fan inspected the new heifer calves in the fields, Chen arrived, curious about what Lu Fan was up to on his new farm.

"Wow, you've really upgraded your operation," Chen remarked, looking around at the expansive fields. "What are you planning to do with all these buffalo?"

Lu Fan smiled, patting one of the Surti calves gently on the back. "I'm applying the same strategy I used with Buck. These heifers are going to help me breed some powerful new buffalo. Each one has unique traits that, when combined with the Jafarabadi, could produce some really interesting results."

Chen nodded, impressed. "I see. So you're going to mix the strengths of different breeds. What's the plan for these specific ones?"

Lu Fan pointed to the calves as he explained, "This one here is a Surti. Lightweight, agile, with those sickle-shaped horns. I'm thinking the offspring will inherit some of that agility, combined with the strength of the Jafarabadi. Then there's the Murrah, which is known for high milk production. Imagine a buffalo that's both strong and productive. And finally, the Nagpuri, with its sword-shaped horns—perfect for creating a tough, battle-ready buffalo."

Chen raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. "Sounds like you've got it all figured out. You've always had an eye for potential, Lu Fan. It's no wonder your beasts turn out the way they do."

"Thanks, Chen," Lu Fan replied. "But it's more than just the eye. It's the effort that goes into raising and training them. I want to make sure these buffalo are the best they can be, just like Buck."

Chen chuckled. "Speaking of Buck, it looks like he's inspired a whole new generation of beasts. But seriously, Lu Fan, you've come a long way. Who would've thought the guy who bought a ram for 10 coins would end up here?"

Lu Fan laughed. "Yeah, it's been quite the journey. But there's still a lot to do. These calves are just the beginning. Once they give birth, I'll have my hands full with training and raising the next generation."

Chen nodded thoughtfully. "And when that time comes, you'll have some seriously powerful buffalo on your hands. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next."

"Me too, Chen," Lu Fan said with a grin. "Me too."

Lu Fan also decided to use Chen's Jafarabadi Heavy Buffalo for breeding, given its impressive attributes. The crossbreeding would ensure that the next generation of buffalo would have the strength and endurance of the Jafarabadi while also incorporating the unique traits of the new heifer calves.

By utilizing the Jafarabadi's robust genetic traits, Lu Fan aimed to produce buffalo that would stand out in both strength and versatility. This strategic breeding would also support his ongoing goal of raising high-quality beasts for his expanding business.
