The hot auction lasted until the evening, and Wang Bo didn't see any sheep breeds that he was very interested in, so he didn't make any more moves, and prepared to take a few sheep cubs back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The auction ended in the evening after dark, and the next day, the auction lasted two days.

However, he did not intend to stay, because there was no demand, and he participated in this kind of auction purely to join in the fun and insight.

When he got there, he saw people gathered around him, and there were pickup trucks with headlights next to them, and the lights were shining, shining clearly on a farmer wearing a cowboy hat and a few cows next to him.

"What is this for?" Wang Bo asked.

"It's called an additional auction, and the theme of this auction is that domestic animals like sheep, cattle and mules can't enter the venue," Thomas said. But there are also people who want to participate, so what to do? Just take advantage of the end of the meeting to attract everyone's attention. ”

Wang Bo was not interested and wanted to leave, but he looked back twice, and after seeing the cattle to be auctioned, he became a little more interested.

The color of the cow's hair that appeared in the light was brown and yellow, the body was extremely burly, the body length was basically more than three meters, the shoulder height was about one meter, it was large, and it was full of hair, and the special difference was that they had fluffy curly hair on their heads, just like the bangs of the beautiful teenagers who killed Matt, which could cover their eyes.

He had never seen such a cow before, so he walked over unconsciously.

From a closer look, you can feel the extraordinary of this kind of bull, they have strong muscles, huge double horns with beautiful curves, some grow straight forward and then upward, and some grow straight forward and then straight forward.

Compared to similarly sized Angus cattle, these cattle have shorter limbs and small short legs, which makes them particularly interesting:

The non-mainstream bangs make them look cool, the short legs and pouting mouth make them cute, and the long, beautifully shaped horns give them an aristocratic feel......

"This is the Highland cattle, the descendants of the European bison, one of the special cattle that came to New Zealand from Scotland, what, are you interested?" Thomas recognized the cows at a glance.

Wang Bo said with interest: "These cows are not bad, they are quite interesting. ”

Thomas said, "Looks? Well, it's interesting, but if you're going to breed, you'll have to be careful, these guys aren't good-natured gentlemen. ”

Bidding has already begun, and this time there will be 10 breeding bulls and 100 cows, with a total starting price of NZ$1.8 million.

Wang Bo looked up the details of these cattle on the Internet, and as Thomas said, this is the Scottish Highland cattle, a kind of cattle that is quite famous in Europe.

This cow is somewhat similar to yaks in that they are highly tolerant of harsh environments and can eat poor-quality rations and then do heavy physical labor.

They can survive in the snow and ice, and from their appearance, these guys have a thick fur, which protects them from the elements.

Highland cattle have a high rate of meat and milk production, and they have been the backbone of European farms since very early times: they supply people with milk, meat and fur.

This is a kind of animal that appeared in history very early, and now watch European medieval movies and TV series, in which knights often drink water and drink with horns, which is actually the horns of this kind of cow.

Ox horns can be used to make water cups, cowhide is more versatile, there is a Scottish saying: knights carry copper nails and highland cowhide to the end of the world. The meaning of this sentence is that copper nails and highland cowhide can make a good tent, sheltering from the wind and rain.

Of course, modern Highland cowhide is not used to make tents, which is too luxurious, but is used to make clothes, belts and leather shoes, and Playboy, crocodile and other brand-name leather products are produced from Highland cowhide.

It stands to reason that such an excellent cow should have been promoted a long time ago, but it is not that simple.

Highland cattle can be mated and reproduced all year round, and it is normal for a male to match multiple females, among which the gestation period of the cow is about 9 months, and each fetus can give birth to 1 to 2 litters, and the reproductive ability seems to be very strong.

But this is only a look, this kind of bull temper is very strange, fierce and quiet, and there is a love metaphor in Scotland:

Love is like a highland bull, even a very tame highland bull, whenever the red mist falls, they are no longer gentle and will turn into angry bison, when this happens, it is better to go with the flow.

Highland cattle can be in estrus all seasons, but the number of estrus is very small, and the estrus is very irregular, the first second is still quietly grazing, maybe the latter seedling suddenly wants to come to a shot.

In order to protect the cows, the farms generally do not carry out polybreeding, and when the ranchers find out that the bulls need the cows and are ready, the bulls often calm down again......

Wang Bo smiled dumbly when he saw this, what kind of bison offspring is this, this is a group of non-mainstream, oh, no, it should be said that it is not the main cattle.

The price of this kind of cattle is relatively high, and it is very popular in the country, and he does not understand why he should put it up for auction.

Thomas answered his question: "Because we had a hard time last season, some ranchers still owe money to the bank, and if you want to turn over the funds, you have to buy some property." ”

The starting price of a batch of cattle is 1.8 million yuan, which is converted into RMB, which is close to 10 million, and the price is not high.

However, according to the news found by Wang Bo and Thomas's introduction, this price is very appropriate, the price of the cow is easy to say, the breeding bull is very valuable, and it is normal to sell one for 58,000 New Zealand dollars.

This can be seen that New Zealand ranchers are rich and generous, and a batch of cattle can be sold back tens of millions of yuan, but it also shows their pressure.

Tens of millions of cattle, if a bad disease is infected, and a large number of cattle die, it can really force people to commit suicide.

Wealthy, hairy does not count, this rule knows no borders.

These people who watched at the scene had a lot of 1.8 million yuan, but not many of them could take out the money to buy a batch of highland cattle.

Breeding this kind of herd is a very serious matter, you have to have a veterinarian with relevant skills, you have to choose a good breeding site, you have to be prepared, otherwise a link is wrong, then the money will be lost.

Therefore, there were many onlookers at the scene, but there was no one who really gave the price.

Wang Bo waited with his arms crossed for a while, and when he saw that no one was bidding, he finally raised his hand: "One million and eight million!" ”

The owners of the Highland cattle were ready to leave, and the price was the lowest he could accept, and he would rather keep it himself.

When he heard someone offer, he was overjoyed, turned around and shouted, "OK, someone has made a bid!" One million eight million! One million eight hundred thousand, guys, one hundred and eight thousand for the first time! What a good Highland cow, come, look at their teeth, look at their eyes, can you lose money if you buy them back......" (To be continued.) )
