【Chapter 717】 Getting on the Right Track (Ask for Subscription!)
4,000 breeding cows is not too much of a problem for more than 120 cowboys, after all, most of them are gentle cows, and what needs to be careful is to separate those aggressive bulls and be safe.
Forty cowboys have become the caretakers of these breeding cattle, and the remaining cowboys will return to their posts to continue to transform the pasture and strive to complete the infrastructure of the ranch as soon as possible.
After a while, Old Bob instructed the cowboys to separate the Charolali and the Quinine cattle and herd them along different routes to pastures No. 1 and No. 2.
The No. 1 and No. 2 pastures are the first pastures developed and constructed by the 'Dream Ranch', which were sown at the end of February, and after two months, the grass here has exceeded the knees, and the abundant aquatic plants are the most suitable for grazing.
After the handover, the convoy of the livestock consignment company also turned around and left the 'Dream Ranch', leaving only a faint smell of diesel in the air.
The whole breeding cattle handover process is only two hours, the process is crisp, the procedure is clear, and it is much more professional than when 'Jinghu Ranch' purchased breeding cattle.
When the first batch of breeding cattle from the 'Jinghu Ranch' was transported back to the pasture, the entire 'Ginkgo Village' was mobilized, and everyone worked all day to drive the cattle to the pasture.
In Xiao Feng's opinion, today's handover ceremony is extremely relaxed!
"This is the benefit of specialization!" Looking at the venue that had become empty all of a sudden, Xiao Feng said to Xu Mengyao with some emotion.
At the time of 'Mirror Lake Ranch'. Xiao Feng always thought that it was already the best pasture in the world, after all, it was able to produce top-quality beef and milk.
But after coming to the United States, Xiao Feng found out. The advancement of 'Jinghu Ranch' is based on the 'Zizhu Space', not because China's animal husbandry has developed to this level.
Comparing 'Mirror Lake Ranch' in the context of the United States, there is a huge gap between it and the world's first-class ranches in terms of technology, specialization, and even cowboy nutrition.
This can also understand why in many similar areas around the 'Jinghu Ranch', many consortia and enterprises have also invested in the construction of ranches, but most of them have suffered heavy losses.
In terms of investment, construction and management of large-scale animal husbandry, China is compared with developed animal husbandry countries such as the United States. There are all kinds of problems.
Needless to say, the pockets of Huaxia's enterprises are full. However, China is in an unusually backward state in terms of management, technology, and social supporting facilities.
At this time, Xiao Feng had gradually put away his arrogance, and he understood that the 'Zizhu Space' was not omnipotent. Ranch construction also requires more effort and professionalism.
"Our ranch will definitely become the most professional!" Xu Mengyao saw that her husband's affection was a little too high, and comforted him and said: "Let's come out this time and this move is right, otherwise sit at home and watch the sky!"
In fact, Xu Mengyao understands her husband's mind very well, money is just a digital change for him, and he attaches more importance to the position of 'world first'.
When I came to the United States, I came for the world's largest beef cattle, Wagyu, and now that the 'Dream Ranch' is on the right track, it will not be too long.
This time 100 cowboys from China. And the Chinese cowboys, which will continue to rotate in the future, will become the seeds of advanced agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States, and take root and sprout after returning to China. Eventually become a young talent leading the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in China!
Therefore, Xiao Feng also specifically requested that when 'Jinghu Ranch' selected cowboys to go to the United States, it should require a college degree or above as much as possible, especially fresh graduates majoring in animal husbandry and agriculture are preferred.
Now, with the gradual implementation of the domestic land transfer policy, large-scale and intensive agricultural and animal husbandry production will become the mainstream in China. Xiao Feng hopes that the 'Dream Ranch' will become a university and eventually ignite the fire of China's agricultural and animal husbandry modernization.

After 4,000 head of breeding cattle arrive at the pasture. The work on the ranch also began in an orderly manner, and under the leadership of Bob Sr., the cowboys grazed the breeding cattle in shifts.
As the boss, Xiao Feng did not interfere too much with Bob's work arrangement, but he had a strong interest in the way the ranch was run in the United States.
In the United States, the herd does not need to be driven back to the barn every night, but can be placed in the woods near the pasture. From this point of view, the grazing method in the United States saves a lot of manpower, and although the probability of cattle encountering various dangers increases, it is still very cost-effective overall.
In the past, Xiao Feng had heard that many ranches in the United States could graze an average of 500 beef cattle per cowboy, which was more than double that of the 'Mirror Lake Ranch'.
Taking the current 'Jinghu Ranch' as an example, the combination of 100,000 cows and beef cattle, the number of cowboys responsible for grazing has reached nearly 500 people, which is also the low cost of human resources in China.
According to Bob Sr.'s estimates, 120 cowboys can handle at least 60,000 beef cattle due to the abundance of pastures and the need to move cattle too much, which is incomparable to other ranches.
At present, in addition to the construction of pastures, the top priority of Dream Ranch is to purchase a large number of breeding cattle according to the growth of the pasture.
In this regard, Xiao Feng has already arranged, the quinine cattle and Charoli cattle introduced by the ranch are only used for cattle breed improvement, and the main breeding breeds of the current 'Dream Ranch' should still focus on Angus black cattle, after all, the 'Jinghu Group' has enough experience in this cattle breed.
The reason why not enough Angus black cattle have been purchased is mainly because the pasture construction of the 'Dream Ranch' is still in progress, and it is not yet able to carry a large number of beef cattle.
According to the schedule, Dream Ranch will start buying Angus Black Cattle from major ranches in Montana in early May, and then the ranch will be truly on track!
…………
Just when Xiao Feng's mind is full of various big goals for the modernization of China's agriculture and animal husbandry, the young cowboys from southern Yunnan are also completing their own transformation in their own way.
Chen Mo is a child of a farmer near Yuji Town, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and after graduating from Yunnan Agricultural College, his family's economic situation is naturally more severe.
Although the establishment of the 'Ginkgo New District' has allowed the family to enjoy many benefits that were unimaginable before, such as free schooling for younger siblings, free medical treatment for parents and grandparents, and even a pension of 3500 yuan per month for the elderly, life has improved a lot at once.
However, this kind of Cheng dù welfare did not make the Chen family make a fortune immediately, and with the gradual development of the economy of the 'Ginkgo New District', the girls' vision became higher and higher, and people who did not have a car or a house would not consider it.
Because he is a son of the 'Ginkgo New District' and a bachelor's degree, Chen Mo entered the 'Jinghu Ranch' smoothly and worked as a technician in the denim workshop.
With a monthly salary of 5,000 RMB per month, plus seven or seven eighty-eight benefits and bonuses, you can also have an income of 780,000 or nearly 100,000 yuan in a year, which is undoubtedly good for the current severe employment situation.
However, now the housing prices in the 'Ginkgo New District' have begun to soar to more than 8,000, and some good floors and lots have even reached more than 10,000 yuan, and it is still quite difficult for Chen Mo to buy a house.
No, the group selected people to go to the 'Dream Ranch' in the United States to be cowboys, and they signed up without the slightest hesitation, and they were screened along the way.
At this time, he was still quite glad that he had worked hard in English when he was studying, otherwise the opportunity for a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan would have slipped away.
After coming to the United States, Chen Mo found that the intensive, large-scale, and mechanized production he had learned about in books was far beyond his imagination. Like a sponge, he and his companions absorb all kinds of knowledge, follow the American cowboys, and learn to become a panacea for ranching.
In the American ranch, each one is a generalist and can handle any problem properly.
For example, almost every cowboy can simply repair all kinds of agricultural machinery, and even modify the machinery according to the actual situation to meet the production requirements,......。
In comparison, Chen Mo and his companions are simply weak, they are rookies!
For this reason, since coming to the 'Dream Ranch', Chen Mo and his companions have lowered their posture very low, humbly asking old Bob and others for advice, of course, English learning is also essential.
After two months, Chen Mo found that he even learned more than he learned in four years of college, no wonder some seniors said that a good company can often make people grow quickly!
Chen Mo has already made up his mind, studying quietly in the 'Dream Ranch' for two years, he can not only save a sum of money, but also improve himself, even if it is hard and boring, it is worth it.
Speaking of which, life in the ranch is still quite boring, there is no supermarket, cinema and no beauty, I have to get up at five or six o'clock in the morning to work, and I don't return to the dormitory until it gets dark at night, and I am not even interested in watching my favorite variety show video.
After coming to the 'Dream Ranch' for two months, the number of penguins landing is only a handful, and the students still think that they have been abducted to black Africa, and they don't even have the Internet!
It was in this relatively difficult environment that Chen Mo and his companions were rapidly absorbing all kinds of cowboy knowledge, their faces were tanned by the sun, their arms were much thicker due to physical labor, and the spirit of the whole person had undergone earth-shaking changes.
In fact, even Xiao Feng, the original initiator, could not have imagined that his move to select cowboys from China in order to save salary expenses was changing the mentality and fate of many employees.
Sometimes, life is like this, a casual opportunity will increase many choices and bring more changes.
'Dream Ranch' is like a butterfly that is dancing and will eventually unleash a jaw-dropping storm!
