Chapter 785 785. Buffalo
This is obviously a very common question, but Niu Ben feels something is strange.
However, he is a professional cattle breeder after all, so he still answered seriously: "The meat of cows is tender and the meat of bulls is more fragrant."
"Furthermore, cow calves are more expensive, but their adult weight will be lighter. For example, our cattle, adult bulls can weigh about 1,000 or 1,200 kilograms, and cows weighing 1,000 kilograms are considered good. Most of them weigh 800-1,000. catty."
After thinking about it, he added: "Those who can grow 2,000 kilograms are beef cattle."
That's it...
Professor Song laughed: "Yan Ran, you have heard so much. Tell me how you would like to match it if it were you."
Yan Ran closed the note. At this moment, he pondered for a moment: "The Tantan family has a relatively large capital demand this year, and calves are also quite expensive, so...this year we will focus on bulls."
She made a calculation in her mind: "Of these seventy cows, it is best to ensure that 40-50 are bulls. If we feed them like this for one to one and a half years, we will have at least 40,000 to 50,000 jins next year, which should be enough for Tan Tan can make a few million back."
Having these millions, I can feel free to do whatever I want next.
“Then for the remaining cows, we will adopt an excellent breeding model, give birth to calves every year, and then slowly increase the number of adjustments in the future..."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Song Tan and Professor Song: "Is this okay?"
Professor Song nodded: “I think it’s okay.”
Song Tan blinked: "Of course I think it will work."
Only Niu Ben stood there blankly: something seemed not right...
“Wait!” He reacted: “Why are you so confident! Even if the calves weigh three to four hundred kilograms, free-range raising does not necessarily guarantee that they will gain more than 600 kilograms in one and a half years!”
“And even if it’s fifty thousand catties, it’s not much money. It’s seven hundred thousand at most.”
Seven hundred thousand is a lot of money for ordinary people, but for a cattle farm, it’s nothing! This is because the slaughter price of free-range cattle is much higher than that of beef cattle!
Where do you make millions?
Oh my god, is this girl calculating the selling price as the supermarket price?
Even if you slaughter and sell them yourself, there will still be a purchase price! The meat yield rate of cattle is only 35%~50%. How much can it be sold for?
Niu Jia, who was holding her child, also frowned:
"You think it's too simple. Raising cattle is not a game, you can harvest with just a click of the mouse... In fact, the entire breeding process, whether it is nutritional ratio, regular monthly weighing, feed adjustment, disease prevention and simple Disease treatment, etc., all require effort and cost.”
“Don’t have this idea that the road will be smooth, it’s not possible.”
The child was already able to walk. Now he was placed on the grass. He walked and ran, and made a rustling sound when he got into the short grass.
Then he suddenly grabbed a piece of dogtail grass, exposed his head, and imitated his father's words loudly:
“It’s impossible!”
It was originally a very serious advice, but when it was interrupted like this, the Niu brothers were speechless.
Of course, Song Tan would not sell the cattle directly.
Even if it is sold, it must be killed on her farm.
Nothing else, she just plans to make more glutinous rice next year, mix it with spiritual energy, and freeze it like this year. She feeds whichever animal she wants to kill, and then waits for the cow to get drunk before slaughtering it...
There is no point in spending more money on this procedure, it just makes them less painful.
Of course, professional slaughterhouses now use mechanical slaughtering, which is very fast and painless. but…
Song Tan thought to herself that when she was a kid raising pigs, Wulan wouldn't let her say these words before slaughtering them, because the pigs could really understand them, and then they would panic and stop eating or lose weight if they ate less.
The same applies to cattle and sheep. Not feeling pain does not mean not being afraid.
Just like what she promised Qiaoqiao, she would not hurt them when she killed them, so she had to do it. Otherwise, Qiao Qiao might shed tears!
Thinking about it this way, we have to build a cold storage next year!
When she thought of this, her thoughts went astray. It took her a while to come back to her senses. Then she smiled at the speechless Niu brothers and turned on her phone:
“Boss Niu, I know you are doing this for my own good. But don’t worry, you see, this is our online store—”
Cough. Song Tan is a little stuck, because there is nothing in the online store, almost all of which are off the shelves.
She quickly began to think about where to open the backstage?
Boss Niu is not stupid, he can also use Taotaobao. Now he stared at the store with a fan count of 234,478, and then looked at the few products at the bottom, and couldn't help but sigh:
“It’s no use paying attention to so many stores—hiss!”
He gasped!
Song Tan was showing data from the backend of the online store. The most recent sales display was roasted chestnuts with sugar, and more than 2,000 orders were sold in ten minutes!
However, the transaction volume is 264,000!
Niu Ben suddenly raised his head: "How many kilograms of chestnuts did you sell?"
Song Tan replied: "3,000 kilograms."
For a while, the grassland was silent, with only the noon wind blowing.
It took a long time before Niujia picked up her mobile phone and counted: "88 per catty? Are you selling golden chestnuts?"
At this time, Yan Ran also said: "Senior brother, Tantan's farming skills are second to none, and her chestnuts are not worth grabbing even at this price."
“So, don’t worry if you sell your cattle to her, the price will definitely be high! There are still regular customers. Maybe in a few years, you will come to her to bring in calves!”
Niu Ben wants to say that farming and breeding are not the same thing.
She can sell chestnuts for 88 yuan per catty. She can't lose money in marketing.
In this case, he had better not worry about others.
In this case…
He took out his calculator and started doing calculations:
“70 cows will probably weigh about 300-400 kilograms, 50 males and 20 females, and the total price is about 450,000. We will calculate the specific weight in detail.”
"in addition…"
He mused: "I'll give you the three calves."
“In addition, if you have the ability to raise them well, I also have two premature buffalo calves here. They are too small and very weak, weighing only about 200 kilograms... I’ll give them to you too.”
As he spoke, he led everyone to the corner of the pasture: "This is not the cow here, but the cow from the nearby village. It fell down the **** when it was pregnant... I took it back when I saw how pitiful it was, and thought about raising it." One year, give water and milk to the little one Jiajia..."
Buffalo milk is more fragrant and sweeter than ordinary milk. I think children will like it.
It turned out that the calf was too weak and could not be exposed to the wind or sun. After four months of raising it, it was still a little big. I was afraid that it would not survive even two years of raising buffalo milk.
Seeing that Song Tan didn't mind and even liked it, he just asked. When someone gives you tea, he gives you a cow. Reciprocity is a given!
His cattle are not cheap either!
Only Niu Jia looked moved:
“Brother, the baby was a little weak when he was just born. Now he has been raised for a long time. There is no need to worry about getting water and milk... Huh? Where is the baby?”
Everyone stopped in surprise.
The next moment, a child's howl was heard in the distance:
“Mom…Dad…Dad is gone, woo hoo…”
I’m tired in the afternoon, but I think I might as well write something. Fifty-five thousand updates this month! Complete one-third of the KPI.
good evening.
The goal of this book is to achieve five-star glory. At present...it will take about ten months of hard work.
