Leaving the town office building, Ye Mo invited Connor to sit in his pickup truck. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The valley ranch is quite large, but all the original buildings in it have been demolished. In order to develop animal husbandry, it is necessary to build some new cattle pens......"

"I've heard Benjamin say before that there are a lot of buildings in it, and it's a pity to demolish them. The current pasture is not easy to manage, the price of pasture has risen, but the price of beef is one level lower than last year. Connor thought for a moment and continued: "I remember that the land in the pasture is fertile, more than 70,000 acres, and it shouldn't be a problem to raise 5,000 cows and 10,000 sheep......

"I don't have enough money, so I can't support that much." Ye Mo said: "I want to invite you to go in and have a look, and give me a way to quickly withdraw the funds." ”

"Many ranches in Santa Barbara County have been converted to tourist routes, and traditional ranches are becoming less and less available. If you don't have enough money, you can move forward in this direction......" Connor suggested.

While they were talking, they had already entered the pasture, Ye Mo shook his head and said, "I like to be quiet, I don't like trouble." The traditional pastures are parked well, and the grass quality of the valley pastures is excellent...... There should be good potential for development. ”

The car drove directly to the Valley of the Moon, and at a glance there was a flat and undulating grassland, the grass was so deep that it submerged the ankles, and a small river with twists and turns for dinner, and on the riverside, the grass submerged the calves. Connor and the three of them got out of the car and looked at the pastures, which were mainly terrace grasses, wild grasses, June grasses, and rye grasses on the plains.

The pasture grass on the hillside is mainly alfalfa and dog tail.

The mixed grass grows well, and the thickness of the grass leaves is thicker than that of specially cultivated grass.

The high-quality pastures produced in the valley pastures are famous in the neighborhood and are very popular with horse farmers. It can also bring hundreds of thousands of profits to the ranch a year......

After looking at the pasture, Connor had a lot of confidence in his future grazing career, saying, "The grass is abundant and fertile, and I thought of a way to quickly return the funds." ”

"What?"

"We can bring in a group of adult cattle and fatten them ourselves. The advantage of this is that the funds are returned quickly and the money is made quickly, but the top beef cannot be cultivated. ”

"So be it. Raise 100 adult cattle first...... I'll have a million principal now, and you can arrange it for me. He didn't know much about raising cattle, so he had to consult professionals.

"First of all, we must build houses, cattle pens, cattle pens, cattle sheds...... Also buy equipment, farming machines, lawn mowers, straw balers...... In total, it is expected to be around half a million. For 100 adult cattle that have not been fattened, it is best to choose Angus cattle, which have a good fattening effect and should not exceed 200,000 US dollars...... Calves, I recommend that you buy more cows with calves or pregnant cows, which will be good for the future development of the farm. Then there are the sheep, the little lambs are cheaper, you can buy a little more. ”

“OK。”

"I'll go back and make you a purchase list ......"

In the next time, Ye Mo was busy, and Kelvin also followed him, contacting the construction company and selecting machinery and equipment......

Connor went to the Central Valley to find Angus cattle that were willing to sell their unfattened cattle for about seven months......

When the machine returned, Tony began harvesting the pasture, and Wells chose the most fertile land to plant corn and wheat in a hurry. Cows don't just eat grass, they also have to mix with a variety of concentrates......

"It's been a long time since I've ridden a horse." Kelvin had two stables built and a beautiful Arabian horse and a quart horse. A very ordinary quart horse, this is a gift from Kelvin to Ye Mo.

See yourself as a brown, silly quart. Then look at Kelvin's Arabian horse, which is pure black and has a shiny back. Ye Mo was resentful, who the hell is the boss! No one else has an employee who has reached the level of Kelvin.

With Kelvin's help, Ye Mo learned to ride a horse. The Quarter horse has a gentle temperament and rides it easily.

The temperature was cool in the morning, and the two rode their horses and walked slowly to the Valley of the Moon.

The barn and pen are set up at the end of the Moon Valley, and the construction here is very fast, almost every day. It has only been a month since the start of construction, and the cattle pen has been built, and the cattle shed is half completed......

There are still very few cattle in the barn, only about two dozen adult cows. Other cattle are still on their way, and today we can still receive thirty Angus cattle. The rest of the calves and lambs have been booked, a deposit has been paid, and the pasture will not be shipped until the construction of the pasture is completed.

There were fifty pregnant cows, three hundred calves, and three thousand Boer goats. The lambs are cheap, and three thousand seems like a lot, but for the vastness of the valley pastures, this number is still a little too little. It's just limited to funding......

As it is now, Ye Mo has overspent and needs to score the red wine and sell it at a good price. Otherwise, you can only consider selling the silver left by Old Man Ding or the wine from the cellar.

Valley wines are generally sold for half and left for half. Judging from the amount of wine left in the cellar, Old Man Ding should not like wine very much.

I just learned to get up and sit, and my butt hurts.

Getting off the horse, Ye Mo patted his buttocks, tied the reins of the horse, and walked towards the bullpen.

Connor is feeding hay feed to the cows. This is Connor's fertilizing feed based on pasture grasses, and the air-dried grass is paired with a small amount of grass and barley fodder. He knows that the current situation of the ranch is money, and if the grass can be used to achieve the effect of fertilization, it will be a very big contribution to the ranch.

If it were other pastures, it would be a joke to use forage for fertilization, but in the valley pastures, the grass here is of good quality, with thick, juicy leaves and rich nutrients. In fact, in the large ranch region of the western United States, some farms with fertile land specialize in fattening cattle and sheep on other pastures. It can be used for forage fertilization in pure crushing, but it is very rare.

Seeing Ye Mo coming, Connor took out the notes he had made in the past few days and said, "Boss, I have good news for you." A few cows were sampled in the morning and weighed 0.6 kg heavier than yesterday morning. Weight gain was a bit slower, but we were using cheap forage feed. ”

"If this batch of cattle is successfully fattened, you will each be given an extra month's salary bonus." Generally speaking, cattle in the fattening period use 3-4 kg of corn flour, 2-2.5 kg of oil cake, 2-3 kg of wheat bran per cow per day, and then combine with forage. Grains are expensive, and if you use your own pasture, you can save a lot of money. Ye Mo happily patted Connor's shoulder.

"Thank you, boss." Connor smiled and nodded. The use of forage for fertilization is not an original technique of his, first of all, it requires very high-quality pasture. Cowboys, a profession that has been very declining in California, can find a job close to home is not easy. It should be a kind of luck to be followed by a generous boss.
