Alpine pasture

Chapter 454 Shields and accountants play by themselves
As for raising dairy cows, Ju An can be said to have a dark eye. Although I have seen a dairy farm, it is industrialized, unlike my own ranch where most of the time is free-range. Fortunately, there are two An expert, Norman, an expert in animal husbandry, has played a full role.

Thinking of this, Ju An asked Norman: "The milking house for this cow hasn't been built yet, should I wait for the spring to build it?".

Norman shook his head and said: "Since we have decided to raise cows, the planning now needs to be more detailed. At least two more cowboy settlements will be added, and a milking workshop will also be built in each settlement."After finishing speaking, he looked at Ju An and continued to say to Ju An: "Don't worry, in fact, raising cows is not as complicated as you imagined. After the cows are trained and trained, they will automatically go to milking when they feel that they are about to produce milk. workshop."

Well!Ju An was moved and jokingly asked: "Then will this cow automatically have a tube inserted on its body? After the milking is finished, the tube will be pulled out and the cow will continue to graze? If so, it will be the most trouble-free."

"You're not talking about milking cows, you're milking people!" Wang Fan looked at Ju An and laughed.Leonard and Norman both smiled and shook their heads, but several of Norman's graduate students laughed beside him.

After laughing twice, Norman handed the things in his hand to the graduate student next to him, and said to Ju An: "Go to our office and have a chat, and by the way, let me tell you about my plan for next year, so as not to Makes you think $1000 million a year in research funding goes to waste."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. It's best if you don't give me any data. If you want to talk about it, you can come to my bedside when I'm going to sleep and say it. It's a lullaby." Ju An followed Nuo Man walked outside together, laughing and joking with Professor Norman.

Wang Fan and Leonard were chatting quietly behind them.

Entering Norman's so-called office, it turned out that a desk was added to Leonard's room. The current house is no longer the simple house at the beginning, but a regular house. Looking at the thickness of the walls, it is basically more The second and fourth walls in China are even larger, and all of them are made of wood.

Ju An sat on a wooden sofa in the room. Don’t get me wrong. The sofa is now covered with cotton cushions, which makes it much softer. The room is also well heated. Ju An took off his coat and put it on the armrest He said to Norman: "Tell me about your plan, I'm all ears."

Norman pulled a chair and sat opposite Ju An, with a square wooden coffee table more than forty centimeters wide and one meter long in the middle: "I use gray cows as breeding cows, and longhorn cows as breeding cows. The cow gave birth to a batch of brown calves six months ago, which are much larger than the calves born in the pasture at the same time, and according to the development of the skeleton, they will eventually weigh about [-] kilograms." .

"How's the quality of the meat?" Ju An doesn't care about the amount of meat. The quality of the meat is king. If the quality of the meat is average, what's the point of adding three or four hundred kilograms, and the overall profit is still not as good as that of the white cattle on the ranch.

Norman said to Ju An: "The quality of the meat is average. We slaughtered two bulls and tested them. There is a lot of lean meat, but it doesn't have the random pattern of white bulls. It's just ordinary fat texture, and the texture is very It's small, but it's muscular, and the proportion of lean meat is very high."

"No random pattern?" Ju An rubbed his chin and thought for a while, it's impossible, buddy, the gray cows mated with the black cows in the pasture, all the white cows born have random branch patterns, although they are thicker than the gray cows Some, but the obvious random branch pattern can be seen at a glance. Of course, Ju An likes to call it random branch pattern. The official name is TL gray cattle ice pattern, and Xishuihe white cattle rough ice pattern.

Norman also shook his head and explained: "I don't know why the gray cows are still the same gray cows now, but when they are bred, they don't have the heredity of the past, and the ice pattern can't be inherited, and many of the white cows bred are meat. Most of the whirring is fat and has no commercial value at all, I am also surprised, it seems that the powerful genetics of the gray cows are slowly disappearing, only the same gray cows can keep the genetics of the ice pattern Same!".

Hearing Norman's mention, Ju An thought for a while. Could it be that the gray cow had a strong breath of space when it first came out, and now that it has been passed down for several generations, the genetics have stabilized in the gray cow population?Thinking of this, Ju An became a little worried about the quality of gray cattle: "Then, has the quality of gray beef in the pasture declined?".Don't ask buddies to send a batch of cattle into the space every few years. It's a bit too bold, and you can't escape the eyes of these shields.

"You don't have to worry about this! The meat quality of gray cattle is still very good. I'm talking about genetics between cattle breeds. The genetics between gray cattle are very stable, and the reproduction between white cattle is also very stable. The calves born are completely Inherited the excellent genes of the previous generation of cattle," Norman explained to Ju An.

After hearing this, Ju An said: "That's good!".It seems that the genes of the gray cattle are fixed into their own breeds like the white cattle, so this cross-breed will not work, which is a good thing.Stealing cows can't steal less now, steal more?This idea is really too simple, too naive.If you really can steal dozens of cows from the ranch, you will really have nothing to do with the FBI and customs in the United States.Thinking of this, Ju'an became a little happier again.

Norman went on to say: "My task next year is to continue to cultivate new breeds of cattle. In addition, this new breed of brown cattle will also be bred, and the quality of the meat will be checked when it is slaughtered."

"You can figure it out." Then he turned his head and said to Leonard: "The reproduction of the thick root fern in the pasture here should be let go. After a while, I plan to buy another pasture to raise goats and other things." For some meat animals, Leonard will have to trouble you to go to the new pasture to continue cultivating the thick root fern."This mutton is not indifferent, but donkey meat is really indispensable. In addition to eating at home, it must also be developed into the largest market in the world. We must not let those profiteers who add things indiscriminately make money out of conscience.

"Norman! That brown cow of yours produces a lot of lean meat?" Wang Fan said to Norman.

Norman listened and nodded: "The fat content is very small, and the grilled steak is not the best, and the meat quality is also average. Of course, the quality of the beef raised in Xishuihe's pasture is a bit higher, but it should be raised with ordinary pasture. It’s a little bit better than normal free-range beef, but the goodness is limited.”

Wang Fan happily said to Ju An: "An Zi! This cow is good~~!".

"Not bad!" Ju An glanced at Wang Fan: "Didn't you hear that? It's not suitable for grilled steaks. My buddies now have white and gray cattle in their pastures. How can there be time to raise this kind of cattle!".

"I said why don't you get the hang of it?" Wang Fan pointed his hand at Ju An and said, hating iron and steel, "Then how do you say we eat beef in Chinese food?".

"Cook the slices and sprinkle with seasonings, or stew it, or stir-fry beef tenderloin." Ju An looked at Wang Fan and said carefully while rubbing his head.

Wang Fan nodded and said, "That's it. We don't eat steak in China, and we don't pay attention to locking in moisture. Many of us cook it with soup, or what do we need so many fat strips for? , just right for the domestic market.”

Hearing Wang Fan's enlightenment, Ju An understood.yes!My buddy is always staring at the US market, why have you forgotten about the domestic market, buddy, this is all free-range, and it will be considered as a contribution to the safety of the domestic people’s table if it is directly packaged.

Thinking of this, he patted Wang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Although you eat and do nothing all day long, you are still useful at this critical moment!".

Wang Fan turned his back on Ju An, extended his middle finger to Ju An, and then turned his head to look out the window without turning a single glance.

Ju An said to Norman: "Then this breed of cattle needs to be cultivated quickly. When do you expect to be able to breed on a large scale?".

Norman thought for a while: "If it is large-scale breeding, it will take three or four years. After all, it will take at least one or two generations of investigations to see if the genes of the cattle species are stable. If large-scale cultivation is planned, Then this year at least half of the male gray cattle cannot be slaughtered, and they will be kept for breeding.”

"This is no problem!" Ju An said with a wave of his hand. It is estimated that next year's five or six hundred male gray cattle will not be sold, and the income will not be much less. The extra money is equivalent to the sales of the entire ranch. A drop in the bucket is really not a big deal.

Leonard said with a smile: "Norman and I have already arranged the tasks for next year. When the other professors come over, I will ask them to make a plan for you. You can also take a look. Since we are going to raise cows and produce milk products This time we have added another dairy expert."

"I don't want to read this thing." Ju An thought for a while, and decided not to take over this hot potato. My buddies came to the United States to enjoy the blessings, and they didn't come to watch you professors and experts do scientific research. After thinking about it, the old man The Midea University mechanism simply said to the two people: "You can just set up a joint expert meeting mechanism. I don't care how the funds are allocated at that time. In the end, I just need to look at the results."

You can't let the shields take money for nothing, right? Leonard and Norman are two professors who know the bottom line. In any case, buddies must see a benefit, even if it is a long-term benefit, don't get nothing in a few years, buddies will not be taken for granted.

Norman agreed with this idea, and glanced at the old Leonard, who also had a smile on his face. Norman said to Ju An: "This idea is not bad. Now our institute has three directions. , livestock breeds, dairy products, and plant research, there is a joint meeting where everyone can better coordinate and discuss."

"As for the director of this research institute, you can discuss it yourself, I don't care, but the accountant will occupy a seat in the joint meeting." Ju An squeezed in a person and was about to let go.It's not good for anyone if you don't have your own accounting firm to join in and supervise.With this, everyone can rest assured that the accounts are clear at a glance.
