magic ranch

Chapter 521
(Thanks to my friend Xiaomo, Reverse Black and White 2037, let me take a look first to reward and encourage, and thank my friend Riding Dragon for the Taoist monthly ticket for encouragement)
Xiaofang Mao has a baby, which is beyond everyone's expectations.But now that he has a big belly, it can only be said that he is a little careless at ordinary times, he doesn't pay attention to it at all, and only cares about playing with it.

Liu Heming randomly searched on the monitor to see if he could find the manul who bullied his little Fang cat.

It's just that this is futile, the range of activities of the little square cats is also very large.Liu Heming reckoned that sometimes they would all go outside to play, they were all courageous guys.

This little Fang cat didn't have the self-consciousness of a pregnant woman, and jumped up and down around the house, just like usual.It was enough to be anxious for Alex, because Liu Heming told her that there was a baby in Xiaofang Mao's belly.

Alex started raising these little square cats when they were still kittens, and always felt that she was the mother of the kittens.

Liu Heming didn't have that much energy either, so he searched all over the world. Now that the price of cattle and sheep is almost the same, he has to officially start the stocking project in his pasture.

In fact, the price of cattle and sheep will be lower in winter, but the transportation cost will be high, so we must keep them warm.Moreover, we have to wait another two or three months. Liu Heming carefully considered that it would be better to make a move now.

The purchase of cattle and sheep this time is divided into two steps. It is necessary to buy some breeding cattle and sheep with good bloodlines, and then buy some half-sized ones, which can be directly fattened for a period of time.

Not to mention, Liu Heming had little expectations for this big purchase.He also wants to see the picture of cattle and sheep everywhere on his pasture, that is a proper pasture.

The choice of dairy cows is still mainly those purchased at the beginning, Holstein cattle and Jersey cattle.It's just that the quantity purchased this time is a bit too much. There are 450 bulls and [-] cows for each of the two types of cattle, a total of [-].

According to Liu Heming's original plan, it will be bigger once it is done, but the current prospects of the US milk industry are not very good, and he is also worried about the sales of milk in the future.Although milk is also something that Americans drink every day, the shelf life of this thing is still a bit short.

The value of these cattle is not low, the average price of a head has reached 2200 US dollars.Because of their good pedigree, even though it is the off-season for beef cattle and dairy cattle trading.

When the check was written out, Liu Heming was also a little bit pained while being happy.

It's true that sentence, if you don't experience it yourself, you will only see the good in others.Everyone thinks that American farmers and ranchers live a leisurely life, with a lot of money waiting to be earned, how can it be that way.

Let’s talk about the industry of raising dairy cows. Even if you buy ordinary cows in the right year, you can raise them at home for a period of time to give you milk with babies, and it costs nearly [-] U.S. dollars per cow.

This is just the price of buying cows, plus the milk sheds and cow sheds built for them, and their feed taken out, these costs will account for more than half of the entire breeding process, almost two-thirds , which does not take into account the cost of land improvement.

If a small household wants to raise dairy cows, the total cost will reach $[-] a cow if it is on a better pasture.

Then whether you can make money depends on the price of milk and government subsidies.If there is another outbreak of disease or the like, it is normal to throw away the harvested milk, because you can't sell it at all.

"Dexter, what about the breed of beef cattle? Is it the same as the one we bought last time? Are you really confident?" George asked curiously.

"Let's try it. If it really works, the ranch will not have to worry about it in the future. The price of a good breed of beef cattle is quite high, so we have to try it." Liu Heming said with a smile.

He knew that George still didn't agree with his current breeding plan, but he knew it in his heart.The system has said that it will help itself optimize the genetic problems of animals in the pasture, and come up with new varieties, that is just a matter of time.

But he is also a little depressed, the price of beef cattle with good bloodlines is also very high, especially those bulls.Liu Heming bought them in a mixed manner, and the number of beef cattle breeding cattle was a little more. He bought a total of 600 head and cost him more than [-] million US dollars.

Those cows that can be directly fattened are very cheap, but he didn't buy more, he just bought a thousand head, only 470 US dollars each.

"George, why don't you Americans like to eat mutton very much, but the price of these breeding sheep is still so expensive?" Liu Heming was a little speechless when he came to the pasture where the breeding sheep were sold.

Lamb is not very popular with Americans because of its stinky taste.Except that it is sold in Chinese supermarkets, you can rarely see it in many big supermarkets.

But this ranch has seventh-generation Boer goats, and the price of the breeding male is 600 US dollars, and the price of the fifth-generation Boer ewes has also reached 150 US dollars.

He didn't know much about the relevant information in this area before, so he thought the price wouldn't be very high.

"Because they eat less, there are very few people raising mutton sheep, and most of the mutton is exported." George said with a smile.

"In the United States, there are very few mutton sheep or wool sheep, and most of them will choose the main sheep. In the world, Australia and New Zealand have a higher proportion of sheep breeding, and both the country and the farmers attach great importance to it."

Liu Heming shook his head helplessly, even if American mutton is expensive, you have to buy it in the United States, because you have to consider the transportation cost.

After the cartloads of cattle and sheep were loaded and the procedures were completed, the cattle and sheep that were driven onto the carts belonged to Liu Heming. More than 1000 million U.S. dollars were spent lightly, in exchange for this group of "moo moo" and "baa baa".

Liu Heming can be regarded as a big customer. Even in the United States, it is rare for people to purchase so many cattle and sheep at one time.All the formalities were handled very quickly.

Then Liu Heming and George led the way, followed by a long line of transport vehicles.

When we got back to the ranch, the little guy Alex was playing on Xiong Da's body.Seeing the convoy coming in, he originally planned to come over to greet him, but the little guy was a little unhappy, so he turned a corner and ran back.

"Dexter, what happened to Alex?" George asked curiously.

"I'm angry with me. I also want to go shopping with me today. I didn't take her because I was afraid that she would buy carelessly." Liu Heming said with a wry smile.

The car stopped, Liu Heming waved to Xiong Da, Xiong Da thought about it, and walked over.It's just that Alex, who was sitting on its back, turned his head away, with "I'm not happy" written on his small face.

This is also one of the rare small requests he refuses his daughter.

The main reason is that my daughter likes small animals. If you don’t follow the routine when buying, and buy whatever you catch, you will have to mess up your breeding plan, and your cost will be much higher.

"Alex, look, I bought you so many cattle and sheep, and many calves and lambs." Liu Heming said in front of his daughter.

"Daddy is bad, he doesn't even bring Alex to play together." The little guy didn't look at him, but sneaked a glance at the cattle and sheep in the car behind and said.

"But Dad is thinking about Alex today. Alex needs to take care of the little Fang cat who has a baby. The sun is still very strong today. If you touch Dad's clothes, they are so hot." Liu Heming poked the little guy and said.

"Really?" The little guy turned his head and asked with some doubts, and stretched out his little hand to touch his clothes, as if it was really hot.

"Father knows that Alex is the most obedient child." Liu Heming added.

"Well, Alex is the most obedient child. Dad, are the lambs fun?" Alex nodded seriously, and then looked at the sheep in the car who were watching outside curiously.

Liu Heming let out a sigh of relief, the girl is still pretty easy to coax, now that she is like this, she just doesn't care about you.

Hugging the little guy into his arms, the little guy's hands were directly around his neck, and he even put his little face close.

He also didn't want to be angry with his father, and no one told him to take him to play.

"George, let everyone put these cattle and sheep down, let them adapt to the environment here first." Liu Heming said happily to George.

"Haha, Alex forgave you. This is a very happy thing. I decided to stay here for lunch today. You must make some delicious food for our little angel." George said with a big laugh.

Alex, this little guy is so interesting, he was so angry just now, but now he is so sticky.

George felt that if he had a child like Alex, and Liu Heming had so much money now, he might give everything for the happiness of the little guy.

"Grandpa George, ask Dad to cook you big crabs. The big crabs are delicious." The little guy said in a self-serving manner.

Liu Heming tapped the little guy's nose, and then put her on the ground, asking her to play with the cattle and sheep that just got off the car.

"TC, your guys can play a guest role as a cowboy for a while." Liu Heming said to TC again.

"Why not recruit real cowboys?" TC was curious.

"I have to wait, because even if I recruit cowboys in the future, the salary will be high, but there will be a lot of work to be done. I'm afraid not many cowboys like to work on my ranch." Liu Heming said.

"The operation of the ranch is a pollution-free operation. The cow dung and sheep manure need to be cleaned every day, instead of being cleaned every once in a while like other ranches. This requires more heavy labor than usual. I don't know if it will Someone will do it."

Having said that, he is not very worried. Mexican workers are very good, willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, and do whatever they are asked to do.If it weren't for some things that needed to be taken into account, he would have thought that there would be no need for an American here.There are many things and troubles.

TC didn't say anything more. It seemed that the people he trained had to change jobs for the time being, riding horses and herding cattle.
