【Chapter 760】 Selling Grass (Asking for Subscription!)
Hearing that the 'Black Miracle' was suspected of recovering his health, Old Bergen rushed to the 'Dream Ranch' to visit the 'Black Miracle', which had changed dramatically.
Looking at the 'Black Miracle' grazing leisurely in the 'Dream Meadow', Old Bergen couldn't believe his eyes, because the 'Black Miracle' in front of him was really a world of difference from the beginning.
In the past, the 'Black Miracle' was thin and shriveled, and it looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind from a distance, but now the 'Black Miracle' not only has a significant increase in shoulder height, but also the muscles on the body have begun to bulge, which is amazing!
"Xiao, thank you for taking care of you!" Old Bergen gave Xiao Feng a warm hug, thanking him for his meticulous care of the 'Black Miracle'.
As the owner of the horse farm, Old Bergen's Soma skills are naturally not bad, and he has taken care of and raised 'Black Miracle' after he was born, and he knows the situation of 'Black Miracle' best.
Now that the 'Black Miracle' has undergone earth-shaking changes, the efforts of the new owner, Xiao Feng, can be imagined.
The 'Black Miracle' once pinned many expectations on Old Bergen, whose physical condition once made Old Bergen emaciated, is now healthy and Old Bergen is the happiest.
"It's God's favor, isn't it?" Xiao Feng knew that Old Bergen was a devout Christian, so he naturally knew how to communicate with him.
The two of them commented on the 'Black Miracle', and Xiao Feng found that Old Bergen's demeanor was very @ free, and his happiness was not pretended, so he was relieved a lot.
After the 'Black Miracle' recovers, its value will naturally increase, and if it can achieve good results in the three major cups or the breeders' cup in the future, the funds involved will be in the tens of millions.
The price for Old Bergen to transfer the 'Black Miracle' to Xiao Feng was less than $10,000, and Xiao Feng was very worried that Old Bergen would have a problem because of this, which was also a thorny problem.
Although the United States is a contract spirit society. Once the contract is signed, it is a coffin, but the Bergens are a long-established billionaire family in Montana and have a huge influence among the Germans of the West.
Xiao Feng didn't want the 'Dream Ranch' that he had just tried to integrate into local life to be hated by a large group of people, which always outweighed the losses.
Fortunately, Old Bergen did not have anything unusual, and he did not propose a compensation plan, which made Xiao Feng feel a little relieved.
Of course. Whether Old Bergen is acting or not, Xiao Feng still doesn't know, and then he has to listen to his words and watch his deeds.
If the Bergan family shows a friendly attitude, the 'Dream Ranch' will naturally cherish this friendship, and if it wants to make some small moves, the Xiao family is not muddy.
Of course, Xiao Feng, who had already taken a big advantage, decided to give the Bergen family a batch of top ingredients, wine and coffee from 'Ginkgo Village'. It's a small compensation.
…………
"Xiao, is the grass in the 'Dream Ranch' of this quality?" After walking around the pasture, Old Bergen noticed the abundant pasture and immediately became interested.
As one of the best horse farms in Montana, Bergen Horse Farm has very strict requirements for forage, and the elder Bergen is not a hands-off shopkeeper, on the contrary, he is a forage expert.
In the American horse racing world, expensive horse racing is worth millions of dollars. Even some small Marseille race horses are worth $180,000 to say the least.
The so-called luxury cars are in front of top horse racing. It's dwarfed!
It is precisely because these horses are expensive and require a lot of nutrients to support the vigorous races that forage has become an important part of horse breeding.
Generally speaking, a racehorse eats 3 meals of ration and 4 meals of forage per day, and the breeding method of each local horse farm is different, which is a trade secret.
The diet is concentrate feed. There are corn, oats, bran, etc., and sometimes some carrots, apples, honey, eggs, and cereal, etc., and the weight of each "meal" is about 4 kilograms.
In addition, according to the formula of veterinarians or some scientific research institutions, salt, calcium, vitamins, proteins, amino acids and some trace elements should be supplemented in the diet. These formulas may vary depending on the season, training subject, and amount of exercise.
Basically, the care that the racecourse takes care of the racehorses. It's already on the same level as humans.
The daily forage of the horses includes alfalfa grass, green licorice and sheep grass, etc., and the time and frequency of grass will also be adjusted according to the situation of training and competition, and one more time every night. The day before the competition, you will eat 2~4 times more than usual.
For horse farm owners, rations are easy to solve, after all, there are a wide range of sources, and each horse farm has its own unique formula, but high-quality forage is different.
Due to the constant changes in climate, soil, precipitation and other factors, no ranch can produce top-quality forage every year, which also brings corresponding problems to horse farms, and they have to buy all kinds of top-quality forage every day.
Judging from Lao Bergen's experience, the grass of 'Dream Ranch' is definitely a top-notch product, but I don't know what its specific detection number is.
After all, the horse racing in the horse farm still has high requirements for forage, and the content of pesticides, fertilizer residues, heavy metals, etc., must be low to an extreme.
"Our ranch is an organic pasture under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is eliminated in the entire ranch, and all kinds of materials are degradable and environmentally friendly materials!" Xiao Feng proudly introduced to Lao Bergen: "As for the pasture grass, it has been certified by the Ministry of Agriculture as organic, and there is enough guarantee for both safety and nutrition!"
Xiao Feng, who was new to the horse racing world, did not know that Old Bergen was hungry for high-quality grass, he just introduced his proud works to the guests like ordinary hosts.
For pastures, high-quality forage is the foundation!
As soon as the 'Dream Ranch' started, it began to cultivate top-grade pasture, which is naturally a thing to be proud of, and it is rare for someone to be willing to listen, Xiao Feng naturally knows everything.
"Xiao, can you sell this grass to our Bergen Horse Farm?" Old Bergen was a little excited, and hurriedly made a request.
With the U.S. Department of Agriculture's organic certification, the elder Bergen immediately decided that the grass from the 'Dream Ranch' was needed by Bergan's Horse Farm.
The influence of top-quality pastures on horse racing is still very great, and perhaps the 'Black Miracle' can make such a huge change, and these rich pastures are also indispensable!
"Buy grass?!" Xiao Feng was a little blindsided, could it be that the grass still had to be sold?
As soon as Old Bergen saw Xiao Feng's reaction, he knew that this young rich man who had invested nearly $1 billion in the United States to develop ranches did not know much about agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States. Old Bergen didn't know how to explain these situations to Xiao Feng, so he simply called Old Bob over. 、
After the introduction of old Bob, Xiao Feng learned that there is still a big difference between agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States and China.
Compared with China, which has a backward development of agriculture and animal husbandry, the division of labor in agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States is extremely meticulous, and the market demand is varied, which makes Xiao Feng breathtaking.
Not to mention anything else, the field of forage sales alone has spawned a huge industrial chain that feeds tens of thousands of people.
Many pastures specialize in cultivating pasture and sell it to fattening farms, and they can actually live more nourishingly than many breeding pastures;
The developed horse racing in the United States also allows the ranches that breed high-quality forage to have more profit margins, such as Bergen Horse Farm, which spends a lot of money every year to buy high-quality forage.
Bergen Stud Farm has a total of 200 racing horses, and the annual forage needs at least 4 tons, and the annual demand will not be less than 1,500 tons! According to the price of 500-1000 US dollars per ton of ordinary pasture, Bergen Stud Farm needs to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, and more than millions!
In fact, in addition to Bergen Horse Farm, the forage required by thousands of large and small horse farms in the United States is basically purchased, which has formed a huge market.
Xiao Feng only discovered at this time that there is such a huge market space for high-quality forage, which seems to be promising!
The reason why Old Bob hadn't mentioned these things to Xiao Feng before was because he thought that the 'Dream Ranch' had just been built, and he was worried that there would be not enough forage to introduce so many beef cattle and breeding cattle at once. But old Bob didn't expect that the grass in the 'Dream Ranch' was growing like crazy, and tens of thousands of beef cattle couldn't eat the grass at all, and it was a waste to keep it.
Even if Old Bogan doesn't propose to buy forage this time, Old Bob will build a forage business with Xiao Feng and bring the first income to the 'Dream Ranch'!
Thanks to the inspection report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the organic grass of Dream Ranch was included in the procurement list of Bergen Horse Farm. Originally, Old Bergen offered a price of $1,200/ton, but Xiao Feng took into account the favor of the 'Black Miracle' and discounted it and only charged $1,000.
In the coming days, Dream Farm will need to supply the Bergen Horse Farm with green fodder, and in the winter it will be the sole supplier of forage and hay. The 'Dream Ranch' only needs to harvest and pack the materials, and the Bergen Horse Farm will send a vehicle to receive it, which reduces a lot of trouble!
Xiao Feng didn't expect that the 'Dream Ranch' could be opened so quickly, and the income came from inconspicuous pasture, which was really a bit laughable.
What Xiao Feng didn't expect was that in the coming days, for some reason, the forage of 'Dream Ranch' became the most popular forage in the United States, and the sale of excess forage even became an important source of income for 'Dream Ranch'.
In this world, there will always be some surprises that make people surprised, maybe because of this, life has become more interesting! (To be continued...... R1292
