In the afternoon, a convoy of animal husbandry transport vehicles drove mightily, all of which were large tractors with two-section trailers in the front, and from the oblique side, it seemed to be a train coming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

New Zealand's commonly used animal husbandry trailer, the length of 19 5, the width is 3.8 meters, not a large power tractor head can not pull at all.

Each trailer has three levels, upper, middle and lower, and uses different styles of cages to transport different livestock.

The white yak is strong, and the adult bull has a body height of 121 cm and a weight of 260 kg; Adult cows are 108 cm and 190 kg respectively, with long white hair all over their bodies, and strong muscles underneath the hair.

But compared to the Limousin cattle and Simmental cattle, its size and weight are not enough, the first two are beasts of prey that often exceed a ton, especially the bulls in the Limousin cattle, more than a ton and a half are not uncommon.

So, in the transport cart, each cage is crowded with three to four cows, the cages are very short, and the yaks lie in it, their expressions are honest and honest, but between opening and closing, their eyes are full of rage!

Wang Bo understands very well, who is stuffed into a cage for ten hours and remains calm without moving? Yaks are honest and honest, but they are not without temper.

You know, the rabbit kicks the eagle when he is in a hurry, and the Buddha jumps over the wall when he is in a hurry, and these yaks will probably hate Leonard who stuffed them into the cage.

The car drove down New Zealand Road to the ranch, and after stopping, Leonard walked down with a smile on his face, hugged Wang Bo and said, "Look, what did I bring you?" ”

Lao Wang is very grateful for the yaks he brought, but the posture brought by this is too weird: "This belongs to animal cruelty, right?" Can it be transported like this? ”

New Zealand is so comprehensive in animal protection that it should not be allowed to transport yaks in a fixed position for more than ten hours.

Leonard shrugged and said, "I didn't abuse them, cattle are only abused for more than twelve hours, and now there are absolutely no twelve hours." Okay man, where are you going to put them? ”

Wang Bo and the cowboy had already cleared a pasture, he pointed, and then motioned for the truck to drive over.

Leonard wiped his forehead and said, "Are you sure you're breeding them here?" Maybe I have to introduce you again, these white yaks come from the northwest of your country, where they usually live, the average altitude is more than 3,000 meters, the climate is cold and the temperature changes drastically, I estimate that the average annual temperature is about minus 1 degree Celsius to minus 3 degrees Celsius......"

After listening to his introduction, Wang Bo said: "I know that it is best for them to live in alpine grasslands, in areas with dense pastures, abundant water, and strong sunshine but not hot, right?" ”

Leonard laughed, "yes, that's it. In short, I think your ranch here is not qualified. ”

Wang Bo shrugged, he also knew that yaks had to live in alpine grasslands, but where did he have alpine grasslands? But he has high mountains here, but they haven't been developed yet.

Pointing to the mountain peaks behind the territory, he said his idea: "It's going to be autumn when the temperature will drop, and they should be fine living here for the time being." At the beginning of spring next year, I will carve out a pastoral area in the mountains, where there is snow all year round and the temperature will definitely be below zero degrees Celsius. ”

Leonard looked at the snow in the Southern Alps with his hands in the sun, then nodded, "It's a good idea, a good idea, but I said man, can they go over the mountains?" ”

The answer is undoubted, yaks are the most hard-working cattle in nature, and after long-term domestication, they have super strong cold resistance and hunger resistance, and are good at walking mountain peaks and swamps, and can avoid traps and choose the road.

Wang Bo shrugged his shoulders and said that there was no problem, what he was actually worried about was that when these yaks felt the heart of the pasture, how could they run to live in the mountains?

He is still worried about the survival of the white yaks, and in order to transport them, these transport trucks are constantly adding ice cubes on the road and constantly cooling down before they are delivered.

The average temperature in New Zealand in autumn is 20 degrees Celsius, which is too high for a white yak!

Wang Bo is counting on the heart of the pasture, which is already level 3, and he believes that some strain changes can be made to the white yak to adapt them to the climate here.

I really can't adapt to it, that's no problem, there is a lake next to it, so let the white yaks learn buffalo and soak in the water.

The iron cage was opened, and a white yak was released.

The coat of these white yaks is pure white, dense and long, and it is only the reason why they are contaminated with dirty things in their lives, and the hair on their bodies has become pale yellow or even brown, which looks a little ugly.

Peeling off the dirty fur, the white yak gave Wang Bo the impression that it was strong! Exceptionally strong!

These yaks have rough and strong heads, large eyes, and some have thick horns, which are shaped like crescents outward or backward, with obvious horns and sharp horns.

Standing on the ground, they subconsciously shook their heads, and a group of Boer goats who were watching in the distance immediately turned around and fled, and the scimitar-like horns put a lot of pressure on them.

In addition to the horns, the body of the yak also has a great deterrent power, the forequarters of the bull are very developed, the chest is wide and deep, with a high raised armor, the hindquarters are weaker than the forequarters, and the limbs are thick and short, strong and powerful.

In this way, looking at the white yak, it is easy to think of those bodybuilders: muscular, exaggerated upper limb lines, soft lower limb lines, and the overall feeling of explosiveness.

After standing on the grass, they didn't care about eating grass and drinking water, they first ran with small steps on all fours, and there were two vehicles behind them to transport yak calves, and after landing, several calves were weak on all fours, and knelt directly on the ground, and stood up for a while.

But when they recovered, the calves began to show their terrifying vigor and run around with their hooves scattered!

The adults calm down after venting their energy, go to the lake to drink some water, and then start feeding.

Yak lips are much rounder and thinner than those of specially bred beef cattle such as Simmental cattle, so they can feed flexibly.

In addition, although it looks honest, the yak is more athletic than other cattle I don't know how many times, and Limousin and Simmental are simply incomparable to them.

The white herd moves around the pasture, looking for the best place to roost, so it moves very fast, setting off a gust of wind and smoke in the pasture.

Leonard handed Wang Bo a book on yak farming, which contained many CDs, which he said were the work of Chinese yak breeding experts who could help him quickly fatten up yaks, which were now used for meat.
