Chapter 976: Season for Sale
The Snow Mountain Ranch has 200,000 acres, and the Kidman Ranch where Daddy and the others are at the moment has a total area of more than 25 million acres, which is almost 125 times that of the Snow Mountain Ranch!
This is a veritable rancher!
Except for the country, there is no one who can compare with the land area owned by the Han family, and even many small countries are not as large as the land of the Han family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he only has the right to use the Kidman Ranch, now those lands are indeed managed by Han Xuan's father, as long as they comply with the law, they can develop it as much as they want, just like a king.
In November, Han Qianshan's purchase of Kidman Ranch caused a sensation in the United States!
For a while, it became a topic of conversation, joking that Australia had finally been annexed by the United States.
In terms of value, the 100,000 square kilometers of land are not even worth as much as 10,000 acres of snow-capped mountain pastures.
Now the land of Han Xuan's family is more expensive than gold, everyone knows that if you scatter some grass and plant it here, and then raise some cattle and sheep, the money will be like water, and it will come in an uproar.
Nowadays, the price of beef and mutton in Snow Mountain Ranch is more than eight times that of ordinary beef and mutton on the market, and the profits that can be created by deeply processed milk are greater.
In particular, recently Sheln Cosmetics Company also announced that its own products will produce such a miraculous effect because the raw materials are produced in snowy mountain pastures.
Now, even if Han Qianshan plans to sell this land for four billion dollars, there will definitely be people rushing to buy it.
In July, Tyson Foods released a statement that it wanted to propose an acquisition to Han Xuan's father at a price of $3.4 billion.
On the same day, Tyson Foods' stock price rose 3.8%, reversing the decline since the beginning of this year.
Han Qianshan is not stupid, he earned more than 200 million US dollars last year from the output of meat, milk, and vegetables from the pasture, which is a "super hen" that can continue to lay golden eggs for thousands of years!
Selling anything will not sell the Snow Mountain Ranch, not to mention that he is not short of money at all, and there is no place to spend the money......
Finish breakfast.
After hearing the voice, Han Xuan turned his head and saw through the window that cars were driving one after another.
They are all heavy trucks with a cargo capacity of more than 14 tons, which are responsible for transporting cattle and sheep to the railway dozens of kilometers away, and then loading them for transportation to other places.
Last winter, the asphalt road of the ranch was crushed because these cars were too heavy, and it was renovated this year, but I hope it doesn't break down again......
Han Xuan changed his shoes and set off on foot, walking in the direction of the cattle pen and sheep pen in the south.
There were many big trucks on the road, and there was no end in sight, stepping on the frozen path, chatting with old John and Martinez, who met him on the way.
After this black cowboy became a father, he didn't become stable at all, and he still talked so much.
Constantly complaining that marriage is a man's grave, that I really regret getting married too early, and how troublesome children are, crying every night, not sleeping well, etc.
Bar, ba, ba, like a fly, Han Xuan didn't have a chance to interject at all, BBQ stood on his shoulder, listening to this lullaby, he was about to fall asleep.
The giant panda Little Barry followed Han Xuan, swaying and walking, and when he met those hares that came out of the hole, he always had to chase them.
It's a pity that it has no hunting experience, and it hasn't even touched rabbit fur, but it has fallen countless times......
The large Shire horses were driven by cowboys, hauling hay past them to feed the alpacas.
More than ten meters away, in the beautiful racecourse, hundreds of American horses and quartes galloped, and a batch of half-sized horses had just been purchased at the beginning of the year, and now they have grown up.
Walk through the nameless town where the employees live and arrive at the rows of sprawling cowsheds.
In other warmer climates, such as New Zealand and Australia, or in the southern United States, it is possible to raise in the open air, and only one ring of railings is required during the fattening period to prevent cattle from running around.
But the weather in Montana winter, once in a while, can "go crazy".
Sometimes a cold spell hits, and the temperature can drop to colder than the Arctic, so it is necessary to invest a lot of money in the construction of hermetically sealed barns.
The warm temperature will make the cattle and sheep feel comfortable, so as soon as the temperature reaches below freezing, the heating will be supplied.
Today, some cattle and sheep were driven out, standing in the open space outside, mooing and a little overwhelmed.
Beef accounts for about a quarter of the world's meat consumption, and the average American eats about 40 kilograms of beef a year, and the market demand is huge.
Among the 118,000 cattle raised by the Snow Mountain Ranch this year, there are more than 23,000 Holstein cows, and more than 10,000 Simmental cattle for both milk and meat.
This breed will be abandoned next year, because the milk yield of Simmental cattle is only about two-fifths of that of special cows, and the meat quality is not as good as that of Angus cattle and Limousin cattle, and all Holstein cows will be raised in the future.
The amount of beef and mutton that can be supplied on their own pastures accounts for only a very small part of the market, and some large companies slaughter more than 100,000 cattle every day.
Christmas is approaching, and the peak consumption of meat products is approaching.
More than ten days before Christmas, it is the most popular time for beef sales in Snow Mountain Ranch every year, ordinary people are usually reluctant to eat such expensive beef, but the festival can be presumptuous.
This batch of beef will be sold out around New Year's Day, which means that the time period when you can buy snow mountain pasture beef on the market is only December and January.
It's hard to get it for another ten months, unless it's to go to some fancy restaurant like Meet, which is available all year round.
As the price of cattle and sheep in the snowy mountain pasture is getting higher and higher, most of the small retail investors who once cooperated have been kicked out.
Today, there are only three large companies that come to haul cattle and sheep.
They are Tyson Foods, which accounts for about 25% of the U.S. beef consumption market, that is, Fat Orlan's company.
In addition, there are the world's largest beef products company, JBS Foods of Brazil, and SOS Foods, a subsidiary of the old man.
These three companies bought 95 percent of the cattle and sheep in the snow-capped mountain pastures.
Albert, an old British man, and other small businessmen who had a good relationship with Han Qianshan could only buy about three percent, and they couldn't afford to pay too high a price.
The SOS Group needs about 15,000 heads, and according to past experience, supermarkets can only digest so much during the peak season.
In addition, Tyson Foods and Brazilian JBS Foods each account for half, and today these three have sent their heads over, and they attach great importance to this batch of high-end beef.
Because it can enhance the company's brand and status in the minds of consumers, it doesn't make much money, after all, the number is too small.
A few days ago, it was divided, which company took which batch of cattle and sheep was being loaded and transported away, and this process will last for several days.
Hundreds of cowboys from the Snow Mountain Ranch all came to help, and when they were busy for the past few days, the next work would be easy, and their expressions were very happy.
After Han Xuan arrived, he learned that the people sent by the company were at the small slaughterhouse, and Old John took him to find them...... (To be continued.) )
