Chapter 315 Beef Grading
The afternoon sun was very comfortable on the body. After eating, Ju An took a little rest and wanted to drive his helicopter to inspect the ranch. As soon as he walked to the door, he remembered the phone in his pocket. When he picked it up, he saw that it was Thomas’s. Phone: "Thomas, I'm just about to go over, what's the matter?".

Thomas smiled and said: "Good news! Remember what Professor Norman said last week that the white cattle and gray cattle were successfully bred as new cattle breeds and reported to the Ministry of Agriculture, and there is a response."

Ju An frowned: "It's so fast, I remember it's only four or five days!".Today, a batch of white cattle from Ju'an Ranch will be sold on the market. With the help of Professor Norman and the research results, they easily passed a series of tests and then sent to the Ministry of Agriculture for grading.

"The Ministry of Agriculture will send people over the day after tomorrow. Come over and discuss with us. Some information about the two types of beef cattle has been sent to the Ministry of Agriculture the day before yesterday," Thomas said with a smile.

"That's ok! I'm about to go there, I'll hang up and we'll talk later." After speaking, Ju An hung up the phone, walked to the side of the helicopter, opened the door and sat in.

When the little hummingbird landed steadily in front of the ranch house, I saw several people standing at the door of the house. Lawrence, Thomas, Professor Norman and Professor Leonard stood at the door and waved at Ju An. proceed.

Ju An walked to the door and greeted a few people, and they entered the room together. The original living room has been converted into a conference room with a long conference table inside, and there is another room in the downstairs rooms. It's Ju'an's ranch office. There is a cartoon devil on the door with BOSS! written on it to make fun of Ju'an.Originally, Ju'an made it unnecessary for Thomas to keep an office for himself. Basically, there is no need to waste a room for wandering around for an hour a day. Thomas and some cowboys decided to leave a small room for Ju'an for fun.

The five people casually pulled a chair around the conference table and sat down. Ju An threw the hat on his head on the table casually, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Agriculture's hands and feet are fast enough, and it's only been a few days. Got the news."

Norman smiled at Ju An and said, "The new breed of cattle is stronger than the current breed of cattle in terms of meat production and meat quality, and the maturity period is only about ten months. The Ministry of Agriculture is very concerned."

After hearing this, Ju An joked with a smile: "Isn't it just to send us a document, can we still reduce our tax a little bit?".

"Tax cuts are unlikely, but with the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture, the price of beef will definitely increase," Leonard said with a smile.

Looking at the smiling faces of Thomas and Lawrence, Ju An jokingly said, "No wonder, Thomas and Lawrence have been smiling since the moment they entered the door. It must be because of the dividends at the end of the year."

Several people who listened laughed, and Professor Norman continued: "Agriculture sent people this time mainly to inspect the condition of the cattle on the spot. It may be listed as a protected breed of cattle. You must be prepared for this!".

"Protect the cattle breed? Then what do I sell in my ranch? Does the Ministry of Agriculture pay the cowboys?" Ju An said a little dissatisfied after hearing this.

Leonard smiled: "Protection does not mean that cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered or sold on ranches, but that they can only be sold within the territory of the United States. It is illegal to sell live cattle abroad."

"Oh!" It turned out that this was the case. Anyway, my buddy didn't plan to send much outside the United States, so let's sell it locally, as long as the price can go up.

"What are you selling? The grass in other pastures can't support these two kinds of cattle, right?" Ju An said with a smile.

Norman smiled and said: "Grey cattle can't do it! But white cattle are very adaptable and can be fed with ordinary alfalfa grass. I chose a group of white cattle in the pasture to feed with ordinary forage, but the meat quality is slightly worse. It is still an excellent beef cattle, but the ranch mainly pays more attention to take care of it! But think about the fact that there are half as many special-selected beef than other cattle. This kind of investment is very important for ranchers. It's still worth it."

Ju An glanced at Norman and said, "Are you still doing this job? Forget it, I won't ask you any more. I'm a layman when it comes to cattle breeds. You can do it if you say so!".

Norman said with a smile: "The white beef produced in the pasture is not inferior to Wagyu in terms of quality and taste, not to mention that its breeding is much simpler than Wagyu, and the impact on Wagyu beef in the market cannot be underestimated." Look, as for the gray beef, some of my colleagues said that they have never seen such good beef. The fat and trace elements have reached the perfect standard. It is no longer comparable to cattle. It is a pity that they can only accept pasture grass. Grass feeding is fine for a day or two, but vomiting will occur after a week, and the fat loss will be skinny and not much meat, even if it is fed a lot to the preferred level".

Ju An was stunned for a moment, this space is weird and has a personality, but I like it!Doesn't this mean that the gray cow only belongs to the buddies? The white cow doesn't care if others can raise it. If you want to make a fortune, you have to let others get rich, right?The interface said: "Then the Ministry of Agriculture will come and check it out, give us a standard, and then we will earn our money!".

Leonard shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. Every cow in the ranch must be numbered in detail so that the Ministry of Agriculture can investigate and be supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture from birth to slaughter, especially gray cattle!".

Ju An thought for a while and complained: "Then who will invest in this part, no, we have to pay for this part of the money ourselves."It is probably very cumbersome for Nima to number all the cows. The original Thomas a few random numbers may not be needed. Now that the ranch has nearly [-] cows renumbered, think about how big the project is.

Thomas nodded and said in agreement: "It's very cumbersome! We used to have an ordinary number, but now it costs money to have a photo of each cow, or to implant a chip to track the whereabouts of the cow."

After hearing this, Lawrence also nodded in agreement. It is estimated that there is not a million dollars in this big list. In addition, the new hires used Ju An’s money, but in a sense they also robbed the cowboys of their dividends. The two old cowboys It is also a little sensitive when it comes to money.

Norman said with a smile: "These things are a bit complicated for you to think about. In the end, the Ministry of Agriculture should allocate funds to our university so that we can continue to engage in the protection and research of cattle breeds. It has nothing to do with you. They are only for sale and slaughter. There are some limitations."

Ju An and Thomas Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the ranch didn't need to pay. Ju An said, "Since we don't need to pay, that's fine! I don't care about supervision or anything."It’s not that Ju’an doesn’t care, but he agrees with both hands. Even if the white cow is sold and promoted, it will take time. The gray cow is definitely produced by his own ranch. Think about how much money the little devil makes every year with the cattle, hum !Dude, the gray bull will at least lose most of the ghosts and the cattle market, why?When it comes to food, Americans believe more in American-made food. As long as they don’t make fools and don’t put ammonia or poly in the forage, they will definitely have more advantages than Wagyu.Moreover, the U.S. government’s continuous tricks in protecting its domestic industries also make Ju An very fond of it. For example, isn’t your Toyota a cow, how much does it occupy in the U.S. market?That's OK!Find an excuse to fine you hundreds of millions of dollars for fun, will you give it?Don't give up!The devil's Toyota honestly paid the fine.

The U.S. looks like an open market. In fact, the old U.S. government has spared no effort in the protection of its domestic industries. This protection has been intensified when Xiao Aohei came to power. In the competition between the U.S. and local U.S. companies, foreign companies basically have no advantages. In other words, the foreign brands that can gain a firm foothold in the US market are all industry leaders, or at least the top three.

Professor Norman went on to say: "When the people from the Ministry of Agriculture arrive the day after tomorrow, they may randomly select a few cows for testing. I want to tell you about this."

After hearing this, Ju An looked at Thomas and Lawrence. To be honest, Ju An basically let go of the management of the ranch. Now if Ju An asked how many cows there are in the ranch, Ju An would ask the old cowboy or check the computer.

After hearing this, Thomas nodded and said, "No problem. The gray cattle have bred 570 heads. Needless to say, there are more than 3 white cattle, and more than 8000 heads can be slaughtered this year."

After hearing this, Ju An felt relieved: "Then let them choose, the most important thing is to determine the quality of the beef in the ranch."Does it matter if it is related to the green bills one by one?

After hearing this, Norman nodded with a smile and said, "I'm not worried about this. The beef on the ranch can be said to be top-notch, by the way! Ann, I heard that you intend to buy the state ranch on the other side of the hillside. How is the deal going?" up?".

After hearing this, Ju An said with a smile: "Nin is negotiating with the state government, and now there are some clues, but the current disagreement is whether to rent first and then buy out, or to buy out directly. the result of".

These politicians actually want to raise the price of the state ranch, rent it first?What if you rent the pasture and put new grass on the pasture and you don't want to sell it?Take it back together with the pasture?Dude, are you so stupid? As for how to get the new pasture to the new site, Ju An already has some plans, and these will be implemented on the old bald Leonard, who has been working on the pasture for so long without any results. Ju An had no choice but to give the old man a little surprise with the new ranch. Of course, the old bald man would continue to be depressed after the surprise. Ju An had no idea of ​​promoting pasture to the United States.The guy who eats can't be lost.

Hearing that the ranch was going to expand, Thomas and Lawrence, two old cowboys, got excited. Lawrence asked, "What do you expect in the end?".

Ju An said with a smile: "It's 80.00% sure to take it, but the price is almost the same as the market price, and there is no advantage. I wouldn't want this land if I didn't rely on the ranch."
