608 Must build their own slaughterhouse
(Thanks to my friend yt and LUISTSYRENU for their encouragement)
It can only be said that Liu Heming is still a little unfamiliar with the situation here, or in other words, he has not had any experience in selling meat products in the past, and he has never taken the sales license to heart at all.
The restaurant you run in the ranch uses ducks and geese from the ranch, and that's fine. This belongs to your own production and self-sale, as long as the hygiene of your restaurant meets the standard, no one will eat people, and no one will care about you. Because when I first opened this restaurant, these procedures were all covered.
But if you want to sell the goose or other meat products, you can't do that.
It can be said that in your entire chain of breeding, slaughtering, and putting on the shelves, you have to accept the supervision of the relevant departments. The most important thing is to slaughter, you can't slaughter it yourself, you have to slaughter it in a professional slaughterhouse.
Kroenke was a little speechless about this matter, he didn't know that Liu Heming was still "sneaking" to sell, and now the store can only be warmed up, and keep playing the video of Alex stewed goose, anyway, everyone likes to watch it, so it should be used to attract customers.
"Why are you looking at me like this, it's not just that I'm ignoring it, don't you remember it? Looking at everyone's narrow eyes, Liu Heming said very depressedly.
"Dexter, in fact, you have also experienced it, didn't the pigs we slaughtered last year be sent to the slaughterhouse for slaughter. George quipped.
"I thought it was just for the big animals, but who would have thought that these geese would have to do that. Liu Heming said helplessly.
"What now? The nearby slaughterhouse seems to be slaughtering pigs and cows, and I don't feel comfortable handing over these geese to them for slaughter. Be careful when taking foie gras, as if it is damaged again, its value will be greatly reduced. ”
"There is no other way but to build our own slaughterhouse. Liu Yi said with a smile.
"In the future, it is not only these geese that will need to be slaughtered in the pasture, but also cows, sheep and pigs. You can register one first, at least the slaughter of these geese will be solved first, and when the weather is better next year, you can build a real slaughterhouse. ”
"Deduct half of your bonus this month, don't say anything so important, notify me in advance. Liu Heming deliberately said angrily.
Liu Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he knew that Liu Heming was joking. And even if it's really deducted, it seems that I don't have a bonus now, and I get a dead salary.
"I'll leave that to you, the sooner the better. But if we really build a slaughterhouse, will there be a lot of problems to deal with?" asked Liu Heming.
George nodded, "Normally, many ranchers will send their cattle to a professional slaughterhouse. Or simply sign a supply contract with a large meat company and sell live cattle directly, which saves this link. ”
"There are a lot of issues to consider when building a professional slaughterhouse. Although we have a fertilizer factory, which can treat the slaughtering sewage accordingly, we should also pay attention to it during the slaughtering process. If you don't do it right, I'm afraid you'll be charged with torture and murder. ”
"So there are strict requirements for the site and process of the slaughterhouse, and you also have to hire people from the Ministry of Agriculture to be stationed on site. The slaughtering process is supervised, and the meat products are tested and graded accordingly. ”
"I understand, you all know these things, right?" Liu Heming became even more depressed after hearing this.
"Haha, this is everyone's common sense, it's just that you didn't ask. George also quipped.
Liu Heming rolled his eyes, he really blamed himself for this matter. Kroenke mentioned it, and he didn't think about it, and then his daughter started working as soon as she was on vacation, and it didn't work out this time.
"In fact, the current beef cattle market is completely controlled by those large meat product groups. Liu Yi said with a smile.
"I've looked up information on this, and like a lot of grain companies, they've achieved a whole layout across the United States. Contracts have been signed with many farmers and ranchers, and 70% of farmers sell their beef cattle directly to these meat companies. ”
"Some of the remaining farmers, although they think that their beef cattle will be of better quality and may sell for more money in the future, they will also choose the slaughterhouses under these meat groups when slaughtering. After slaughtering, most of them will be bought directly by these meat companies, and only a small part will be sold to the rest of the small meat companies waiting outside. ”
"Eh, do you have all these facts?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
"Otherwise, I don't have anything to do lately to pass the time, right? Just take a look at the slaughterhouse in Corenttown, which belongs to the Cargill Group. ”
"It seems that whether it is farming or farming, it is difficult to get rid of the entanglement with these large groups. Liu Heming sighed and said.
Once again, he realized how hard it is to run a farm or ranch in the United States.
First of all, you have to look at the weather, the drought has continued in the past two years, and it is not only the drought on the side of Xiangshui Town, but it is more serious on the side of Xiangshui Town.
Then there's the process of farming or farming. Buying seeds, spending, calves, all you need is money. However, neither the grain company nor the meat company will provide you with this money, and you can give you a loan, but you have to go to the designated bank with which the group has a relationship.
And that's just the early stage, the whole process of planting and raising, they won't care about you, and they will only show up again after you harvest and slaughter.
That is to say, no matter who you are, what you can control is not very important stages, and the key factors are all controlled by others.
"So I don't think we need to bother them to help, even if it's sent to their slaughterhouse, they have a lot to do. Early slaughter and late slaughter are all arranged by themselves, so it is better for us to control them ourselves. Liu Yi continued.
"Then it was decided, this slaughterhouse had to be built, and it had to meet the standards in all aspects. Liu Heming said.
"We must control all production links, so as to provide the safest production environment for our products. Now our ability is limited, and we will have a good talk with Wal-Mart's logistics group in the future, and our product transport vehicles must have their own. ”
It's better to control your own destiny and industry. Maybe this will increase a lot of operating costs, but Liu Heming thinks it's still worth it.
There is already a large part of the premium for the various products in their own pasture, and the premium in this area has been able to compensate for the cost of this.
In fact, he is not so sure about the future sale of beef.
The top breeds of beef cattle are not so easy to launch, it has taken a long time for Wagyu to get to where it is now, and Australia and the United States have very strict control over the beef cattle industry.
It's not that if you have a good product, it will sell well, the quality of vegetables is so much better than ordinary vegetables, and it is so difficult to open the market. What about beef, which is also the staple food of the American people, and every household consumes it very much every year.
Such a large market is participating in the competition, and it is facing world-class giant companies. With a little mistake, it may not be so easy to establish this brand again.
This time, the goose meat did not sell so smoothly, but it gave a good warning to his side. In the future, meat products should be more strictly controlled, including packaging and transportation, and they must be upgraded to another level.
This is the end of the simple meeting. Liu Yi is not idle here, and he still has to run a little more formalities. Seeing that the Christmas holidays are approaching, he has to solve the relevant problems in front of this, and he really doesn't have a lot of time left.
"I'm a little depressed, I don't really want to have anything to do with the Ministry of Agriculture, and now I have to hire someone from them. Back in the living room, Liu Heming came to Sasha's side and said very depressedly.
"What does it matter, anyway, it doesn't conflict with the SUSDA standard you're going to roll out. Sasha said with a smile.
"But even if I were an official of the Ministry of Agriculture, I would probably be a little unhappy with your standard. After all, some are not controlled by them, and they are considered a kind of private standard, and it is difficult to achieve official certification. ”
"Sooner or later, I will make this standard the only standard for high-quality agricultural and animal husbandry products in the world, and now I also have the SUSDA mark printed on the outer packaging and strapping belts of those vegetables, and when you buy it for another two or three years, it is estimated that you will be able to accept it slowly." Liu Heming said happily.
"Originally, I planned to let Liu Yi and Emilia confirm their relationship under our witness at Christmas, who would have thought that they would discuss it and take their families to play outside. ”
"The ranch is fun, so you can come at any time in the future. But Christmas outside is much more lively than in our ranch. I want to go outside, but I guess I won't be allowed to go out. Sasha said helplessly.
"You say, why are these vegetables in our pasture so good?" said Sasha coldly.
"Hehe, those big earthworms of ours are very powerful, haven't you seen them too? Liu Heming deliberately pretended to be very proud, but he actually said it very weakly.
Fortunately, Sasha didn't pay too much attention to this issue, and just asked casually.
Liu Heming was weak-hearted, so for safety, he hurriedly fled the scene and ran to the restaurant. You can't always ignore this side, after all, there are still some people who come for themselves.
And the girl's stewed goose video is very popular, and it is estimated that there will be more people who want to eat stewed goose today.
