Chapter 346: Raising Cattle

Ding Liang shut up, but the village chief of Qili Village is not very optimistic about cattle raising, after all, many people in their village raise cattle, and they know exactly what the profit is.

"Raising cattle is not as good as raising pigs. He couldn't help but speak.

Don't look at the fact that beef is more expensive than pork, a pig is much cheaper than a cow. However, this is not how the accounts are calculated, and it takes too long for a cow.

A cow was raised until it was slaughtered, and several pigs came out. In their village, it is not surprising that a cow is raised for years, or even for decades.

Zhang Fan understands their thoughts, the market of beef cattle has been relatively stable in recent years, there are no big ups and downs, and it is difficult for cattle to have big ups and downs in prices, because the beef cattle breeding cycle is relatively long, calving is small, and serious epidemics are rare, and it is impossible to increase and plummet in short-term supply like raising chickens and pigs, which greatly affects prices.

However, that is the case with traditional cattle farming, and this is certainly not the case with professional cattle raising.

"It can't be said that there is a future to make a professional ranch, and it mainly depends on how to do it. Zhang Fan said to them.

Manager Liang is very sensitive to agricultural products, and is interested in planting and breeding.

Beef has always been a high-end ingredient, and they buy a lot of it in their restaurant. If Zhang Fan raised cattle, he would support it, and then they would have one more high-end ingredient.

"The young man has a good idea, I think he has a good idea, even better than raising pigs. Of course, it still depends on your breeding technology and whether you can raise high-quality beef cattle. He continued.

He saw that the villagers and village cadres of this village were not impressed, so he gave examples and directly talked about the world's top beef, such as Matsusaka beef, Kobe beef, Yonezawa beef, Chiannina beef, Charoli beef, and so on.

At the top of the list, almost all of them are Japanese beef, which is recognized as the best beef in the world.

At least so far, the world's best beef is probably Matsusaka beef from Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is one of the highest grade and most expensive beef in the world. Even at high-end restaurants in Japan, you may not be able to taste the best Matsusaka beef anytime and anywhere.

And a pound of authentic Matsusaka beef, don't want to eat it without thousands of yuan, and it is still raw materials that have not been cooked.

Zhang Fan was depressed, and said that this topic will be left for later, these are three sentences that are inseparable from raising cattle!

What is Manager Liang's thoughts, can Zhang Fan not know? As long as it is the ingredients, that guy is interested, and he never feels less.

But the villagers of Qili Village were already stunned, all of them were stunned, all of them looked at Zhang Fan, and finally looked at Zhang Fan, wanting to confirm the truth of the news.

Zhang Fan had no choice but to nod truthfully: "Yes, that's right! However, it is the world's top beef." In our country, there is no beef brand that can be used. ”

Not to mention Japan, even Korean beef in Korea is ridiculously expensive, and the average Korean is reluctant to eat it.

In China, especially in the east and south, these places are densely populated and land resources are scarce, and the production of cattle and sheep mainly depends on rural families, and the large-scale productivity is not high, and the quality of beef and mutton is uneven, which is not conducive to branding, modernization and large-scale production.

Slightly better is the northeast and northwest production areas, rich in grassland resources, cattle and sheep feed prices are lower than the national average, cattle and sheep have a high degree of scale, and high production efficiency.

Historically, it is a traditional area for cattle and sheep production, with local breeds such as Yanbian cattle, Mongolian Gu cattle, Sanhe cattle, grassland red cattle, etc., and the famous Simmental cattle have become the leading beef cattle breeds.

However, I have to admit that these Chinese cattle are not well-known in the world.

So far, China's beef consumption market is very large, and it has always been coveted by foreign beef cattle traders. According to statistics, China's meat consumption market is larger than that of Europe and the United States combined.

"That's someone else, I believe in your ability, brother, to make a high-quality beef brand, imported is too expensive. Manager Liang said clearly.

"That's what I thought, let's make a brand. Ding Liang also hurriedly said.

He analyzed the history of Zhang Fan's family, and all the agricultural products of this senior brother are known for their high quality, which invigorates the economy of the entire Huangshi Town.

Ding Liang has considered the situation in his village, if the beef is also made into a well-known brand, their Qili Village will become another famous agricultural product production area in Huangshi Town, and the future will not be worse than Yangyizhuang next door.

In fact, not only their Qili Village, but also the surrounding villages have a similar environment, with more grass on the mountains and few tall trees. So they've always been the place where Yellowstone has raised the most cattle.

"The brand is not so easy to do, the most basic thing is quality, without high-quality products, there is no confidence. Zhang Fan said.

Ding Liang immediately smiled and said: "It's just right, today we killed cattle in our village, let you taste it." ”

Belch!

The villagers of Qili Village were speechless, feeling that this kid had been tricking them into killing cattle, was this the intention?

Manager Liang suddenly smiled: "This is good, this is good! There is still fresh beef, right?"

"Yes, I deliberately left the best tenderloin uncooked and kept it for you to taste!"

This kid has been speaking on behalf of their Qili Village, whether it is Zhang Fan, or the villagers and village cadres of Qili Village, they have stopped talking.

Tenderloin is tender meat on both sides of the vertebrae of cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.

Pork loin is a strip-shaped tender meat on the inside of the pig's backbone. Large tenderloin and small tenderloin, the large tenderloin is the lean meat connected to the large ribs and is covered with tendons on the outside, and the large ribs that are usually eaten are tenderloins after being deboned, and the small tenderloin is a muscle on the inside of the vertebrae, which is relatively small and very tender.

Good beef parts are concentrated on both sides of the cow's spine, starting from the chest to the loin. These parts of the beef are tender and juicy, and in many places rich in marbling-grained oil, which is especially suitable for steaks or whole roasts.

On the spine, from the neck to the tail, after the ribs of the ribs. There are no ribs on either side of this part of the spine, but there are short bones a few centimeters long, and below it, parallel to the spine, there is a thinner tender piece of meat, filet beef tenderloin, which is the other most tender part of beef.

"Okay, let's take a look. "Manager Liang showed a lot of enthusiasm.

As the ingredient purchasing manager of a chain of high-end restaurants, I have a very strong ability to distinguish between good and bad ingredients. The quality of beef can be identified from many aspects such as color, smell, viscosity, and elasticity.

After the villagers of Qili Village learned about the market for high-quality beef, they all looked forward to it and put aside the construction of the slaughterhouse for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan was not easy to spoil their interest.

Besides, he did have the idea to include cattle in his breeding plan.
