523 Cattle and sheep enter the house

(Thanks to the friendship of friends Xiaomo, reversed black and white 2037, I will take a look at the reward and encouragement, thank my friend for the encouragement of the Taoist monthly pass of riding the dragon)

The little square cat has a baby, which is beyond everyone's expectations. But now that people have big bellies, it can only be said that they are usually a little careless, and they don't pay attention to it at all, just play with it.

Liu Heming looked at random on the surveillance to see if he could find the rabbit who bullied his little square cat.

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

This little square cat does not have the consciousness of a pregnant woman, and jumps up and down on the edge of the house, as usual. I'm anxious enough to choke on Alex, because Liu Heming told her that Xiaofang Cat has a baby in her belly.

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

Liu Heming doesn't have so much energy, he looks all over the world, and now the price of cattle and sheep is about the same, and he has to officially start the stocking project in his pasture.

In fact, in winter, the price of cattle and sheep will be lower, but the transportation cost will be very high, so they must be kept warm. And you have to wait for another two or three months, Liu Heming carefully weighed that it is better to make a move now.

This time the purchase of cattle and sheep is to be divided into two steps, you need to buy some good bloodline breeding cattle and breeding sheep, and then buy some half-large, stocking can be fattened directly.

Not to mention, for this big purchase, Liu Heming has some small expectations. He also wants to see the picture of cattle and sheep all over his pasture, which is a serious pasture.

In terms of the choice of dairy cows, the first ones are still mainly purchased, Holstein cattle and Jersey cows. It's just that the number of purchases this time is a bit too much, 50 bulls and 450 cows for each of the two types of cattle, for a total of 1,000 heads.

According to Liu Heming's original plan, he would make it bigger at one time, but the current prospects for the dairy industry in the United States are not very good, and he is also worried about the problem of selling milk in the future. Although milk is also drunk every day by Americans, the shelf life of this thing is still a little short.

The value of these cattle is not low, with the average price of a head reaching $2,200. Because they have a good pedigree, even if it's the off-season for beef and dairy trade.

When the check was written, Liu Heming was happy but also a little painful.

It's really that sentence, if you don't experience it yourself, you will always only see the good in others. They all think that American farmers and ranchers live a leisurely life, with a lot of money waiting to be earned, where is that?

Let's talk about the dairy cow industry, even if you buy an ordinary cow of the right year, you can carry a baby cow to give you milk after raising it at home, and it will cost nearly 2,000 dollars a head.

This is just the price of buying the cows, plus the milk sheds and barns built for them, and the feed they take, which will cost more than half of the whole breeding process, almost two-thirds, and this is not counting the cost of land improvement.

If a small family wants to raise dairy cows, the total cost will reach $10,000 a head if they are on a better pasture.

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

"Dexter, what about the breed of beef cattle, is it still the same as the last time we bought it, are you really confident?" asked George, curious.

"Try it, if it's really possible, the ranch won't have to worry about it in the future. The price of a good breed of beef cattle is also 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. The system said that it would help itself optimize the genetic problems of the animals in the pasture and make new varieties, which is just a matter of time.

However, he is also a little depressed, and the price of beef cattle breeders with good bloodlines is also very high, especially those breeding bulls. Liu Heming bought it in a mixed manner, and the number of beef cattle breeding cattle was a little larger, buying a total of 2,000 heads, which cost him more than 6 million US dollars.

The cattle that could be fattened were cheap, but he didn't buy more, just a thousand heads, and each head was only $470.

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

Because of the smell of mutton, mutton is not very popular with Americans. Except for the sale in Chinese supermarkets, you can rarely see it in many large supermarkets.

However, the seventh generation of Boer goats in this ranch is priced at $600 a head for a breeding male, and the price of a fifth-generation Boer ewe is also $150 a head.

He hadn't known much about this before, and he thought the price wouldn't be very high.

"It's because of the lack of food that there are very few people who breed meat sheep, and most of the mutton is mainly exported. George said with a smile.

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

Liu Heming shook his head helplessly, even if the meat and sheep in the United States are expensive, you have to buy them in the United States, because you have to consider the transportation cost.

A cart of cattle and sheep was loaded, and the formalities were completed, and the cattle and sheep that were driven to the car were Liu Heming's. More than 10 million US dollars were spent lightly, in exchange for this group of "moo" and "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 processed very quickly.

Then Liu Heming and George led the way in front, followed by a long transport vehicle.

When I got back to the ranch, Alex was playing on the bear's body. Seeing the convoy coming in, I was going to come over to greet him, but the little guy was a little unhappy, turned a corner, and ran back.

"Dexter, what's wrong with Alex?" asked George, curious.

"You're angry with me, and you want to go shopping with me today, but I'm afraid that she won't take her with you because she buys it indiscriminately. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.

The car stopped steadily, Liu Heming beckoned to Xiong Da, Xiong Da thought about it, and still walked over. It's just that Alex, who was sitting on its back, twisted his head to the side, and his little face said "I'm not happy".

This is also a rare time for him to refuse his daughter's small request.

The main thing is that girls like small animals, if you don't play cards according to the routine when you buy, you have to mess up your breeding plan, and you will make your own cost much higher.

"Look, Alex, I bought you so many cows and sheep, and a lot of calves and lambs. Liu Heming approached his daughter and said.

"Daddy is bad, he doesn't play with Alex. The little guy hadn't looked at him yet, but stole a glance at the cattle and sheep in the car behind him.

"But Daddy is thinking about Alex today. Alex needs to take care of the little square cat with a baby, the sun is still very strong today, and you touch Dad's clothes, they are all so hot. Liu Heming stabbed the little guy and said.

"Really?" asked the little one, turning his head and feeling a little puzzled, and stretched out his little hand to touch his clothes, as if it was indeed a little hot.

"Dad knows that Alex is the best kid in the world. Liu Heming added.

"Well, Alex is the best kid. Daddy, is it fun to be a lamb?" Alex nodded seriously, then looked at the sheep in the car who were curiously watching outside.

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

hugged the little guy into his arms, and the little guy's hand was directly around his neck, and he even pasted the little face.

People don't want to be angry with their father, and no one asks him to play with him.

"George, let's put these cattle and sheep down, and let them get used to the environment first. Liu Heming said happily to George.

"Haha, Alex forgave you, it's a happy thing. I decided to stay here for dinner at noon today, and you must make some delicious food for our little angels. George laughed.

Alex is such a funny little guy, he was angry just now, and now he can't stick to it.

George felt that if he had a child like Alex, and Liu Heming had so much money now, he would probably give everything for the little guy to be happy.

"Grandpa George, let Dad make you a big crab to eat, the big crab is delicious. The little guy said in a hypocritical manner.

Liu Heming tapped the little guy's nose, then put her on the ground and asked her to play with the cattle and sheep who had just stepped off the car.

"TC, you guys can make a cameo as a cowboy for a while. Liu Heming said to TC again.

"Why don't you recruit real cowboys?" TC was a little curious.

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

"The operation of the ranch is a pollution-free operation, and the cow and sheep manure needs to be cleaned every day, rather than every once in a while like other ranches. It's going to be a lot more work than usual, and I don't know if anyone will do it. ”

That being said, he is not very worried, Mexican workers are very good, willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, let them do whatever they want. If it weren't for the fact that there were some things to take care of, he would have wanted to be an American here. There are many things to do, and there are troubles.

TC didn't say anything more, and it seems that the people he trained will also change jobs for the time being, riding horses and grazing.
