Of course Zhang Yuan needs Martin's help, not need, it's super need. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As he himself said, he was too unfamiliar with this place, the country, the town, and even the manor at his feet. So he needed Martin's help, and that's the main reason he hired Martin.

After a few sips of wine, Martin said, "If you decide to raise cattle, then you need to build a cowshed now." But before that, I would like to ask, BOSS, whether you want to raise dairy cows or beef cattle, the project you choose is different, and the preparation you need to do in advance is also different. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't know why, he looked at Martin with wide eyes, and asked, "What is the difference between raising dairy cows and raising beef cattle?" ”

Forgive him for his ignorance, although he grew up in the countryside, his family did not raise cattle. His parents are vegetable farmers who farm, although his brother opened a chicken farm, but like most of the farmers in China, they are traditional breeding models, and high-tech equipment is used very little, so he really doesn't know much about breeding.

Martin shrugged, "Of course it's different, raising dairy cows requires more investment and time than raising beef cattle, although the money is relatively more, but breeding dairy cows needs to be regulated by the state, not only to go through special procedures, but also to report the specific information of the cows at any time, which is very cumbersome." So I recommend that BOSS raise beef cattle, even if you raise dairy cows, you can raise a few less, enough for your own family. Of course, if you want to raise cows, you have to think about your breeding direction in advance. ”

Canada is a big farmer, but also a big dairy industry, Canadian milk and dairy products are known for their excellent quality, so the various rules and regulations in the process of dairy farming are quite cumbersome.

For example, in order to ensure the health of dairy cows, it is necessary to provide dairy cows with nutritious diets, a healthy living environment and better veterinary services during the breeding process. The cows must be satisfied, and the cows must be in a very happy state for a long time. There is even a law in Canada that makes it illegal to mistreat cows and gross negligence. The former is understandable, while the latter is completely high standards and strict requirements.

There are two kinds of cow barns, there are free-range and bolt-on, especially in the bolt-on barn, each cow has its own stall and cow bed, and there is a straw mat on the cow bed, which is convenient for the cow to get food and water from the trough in front. Regardless of the type of barn, the cows are milked twice a day. It is also necessary to have good ventilation to provide fresh air to the cows. When the weather is too cold or too hot, it is important for the cows to rest comfortably on a straw mat or waterbed. Even calves have a special calf barn.

In terms of diet, dairy farmers need to provide their cows with a well-balanced diet, including pasture, silage and hay, as well as additional nutritional supplements. Evergreen forage crops such as alfalfa.

The most important thing is that the farmer spends a considerable amount of time with the cows every day, milking, feeding, observing the health of the cows, etc., and the dairy farmer needs to know every cow on the farm very well. All milk is tested before processing to ensure that it does not contain any harmful substances, and if antibiotic residues are detected, the milk is discarded and the dairy farmer bears the economic losses.

So raising cows is a very tiring job, and most dairy farms in Canada are family-run dairy farms, generally with 65 to 75 cows, which is the limit of dairy farmers' care. A few large dairy farms are able to hire workers, but considering the labor costs in Canada......

Zhang Yuan blinked and rubbed his nose, "Then do you still need to choose?" I'm here to enjoy life, I don't want to be tied to death by a herd of cows, I choose to breed beef cattle. ”

Martin smiled and said: "If you breed beef cattle, it will be much more convenient, as long as the beef does not contain harmful substances, and it is relatively simple to breed beef cattle, as long as you give them enough space and enough nutrition, they will definitely not let you down." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Then what you said about preparing in advance, is it to build a cowshed?" ”

Ma Ding nodded, "Of course, the cowshed is a must, there is also a fattening farm, if the boss is willing to spend money, you can also build a feeding farm." Because it takes a lot of time to build a barn, and the weather is going to cool down soon this month, if you are going to start raising cattle this year, now is the right time to start building a barn. By the time the weather cools down, we'll have plenty of room for the cattle to rest. ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, "That's fine, but I don't know anything about these things, do you know any construction companies?" Or the kind of construction team that specializes in the barn. ”

Martin shook his head, "My barn was built a long time ago, I haven't looked for a construction company for many years, I don't know if the previous company still exists, if you want to find a construction company, you can post information on the Internet, you can also find an intermediary, as long as the price is right, there are countless companies willing to do this business." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Really?" That's good, by the way, if we raise beef cattle, what breed should we choose? You know, I don't know much about that. ”

"The common breeds are mainly Angus, Helford, Charolais, Simmental, Limousin, Shorthorn ......," Martin said.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly raised his hand, "Wait, wait, you said it too fast, how could I remember it if you said so many varieties at once, you have to say it in detail, say it slowly." ”

Martin smacked his lips when he heard this, and there was a look of helplessness on his face, but there was no way, who let him meet such a boss? And what's even more terrifying is that who made him agree to help the other party?

Martin thought for a while, "In fact, the general direction is almost the same, these types of cattle are all cattle breeds with high meat production, easy to conceive, and high calving rate, maybe there is a slight difference, but it is not obvious, so let's do it, BOSS, since you have chosen to raise cattle, let's first build the barn and necessary facilities." Then when building the barn, I will take you to the surrounding larger cattle farms to have a look, and BOSS you will go to the site to choose your favorite breed. ”

Zhang Yuan thought about it, yes, he should go to the scene to take a look.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, then tomorrow!"

I'm definitely not going out today, what time is it? The sun is so big outside that a fool would run outside. And after running all morning, he is already very tired, he needs to rest. Besides, he has to check the information of the construction company on the Internet today, he belongs to the type of person who does what he says, and once the tone is set, he can't wait to start implementing it.
