For raising dairy cows, Ju'an can be said to be a black eye, although he has seen a dairy farm, but people are industrially raised, unlike their own pastures most of the time free-range, fortunately there are these two experts, Norman, an animal husbandry expert, has played a full role.

Thinking of this, Ju An asked Norman: "This cow's milking parlor has not been built yet, is it waiting for the beginning of spring to be built?" ”。

Norman shook his head and said, "Now that we have decided to raise cows, we need to be more detailed now, at least two cowboy settlements will be added, and each settlement will also have a milking workshop." After speaking, he looked at Ju An and continued to say to Ju An: "Don't worry, in fact, raising cows is not as complicated as you think, after the cows are trained and trained, they feel that they are going to produce milk, and they will automatically go to the milking workshop."

Belch! Ju An sighed with emotion and asked jokingly: "Then will this cow automatically insert a tube into its body?" When the time comes, after milking, pull out the tube, and continue to graze? It would be the easiest way to do that."

"You're not milking cows, you're milking people!" Wang Fan looked at Ju An and laughed. Leonard and Norman also smiled and shook their heads, but several of Norman's graduate students laughed beside them.

After laughing twice, Norman handed over the things in his hand to the graduate student next to him, and said to Ju An: "Go to our office and talk, and by the way, I will also tell you about my plan for next year, so as not to make you feel that 10 million US dollars a year of research funds have been wasted."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, so I'd better you don't give me any data. If you want to wait for me to go to bed and say it by my bedside, it will be considered a lullaby" Juan followed Norman outside, laughing and joking with Professor Norman.

Wang Fan and Leonard followed behind the two and chatted quietly.

Entering Norman's so-called office, it turned out to be a table added to Leonard's room, and now the house is no longer the simple house it was at the beginning, it is a regular house, and the thickness of the walls is basically a little larger than the second and fourth walls in China, all of which are wooden.

Ju An sat down on a wooden couch in his room, don't get me wrong. The sofa was now covered with cotton cushions, much softer, and the room was very well heated, Ju An took off his coat and put it on the side of the armrest, and said to Norman: "Tell me about your plan, I'll listen to you."

Norman pulled a chair and sat down opposite Ju'an, with a square wooden coffee table more than forty centimeters wide and more than one meter long in between: "I used gray cows as breeding cattle and longhorned cows as breeding cows, and six months ago I gave birth to a batch of brown calves, which are much larger than the calves produced at the same time in the current pasture. According to the development of the skeleton, it can be about 1,200 kilograms in the end."

"How's the meat?" Ju'an doesn't care how much meat there is, meat quality is king. If the meat quality is average, even if it is three or four hundred kilograms, what is the meaning, the overall profit is still not as good as the white cattle in the pasture.

Norman said to Ju'an: "The meat quality is average, we slaughtered two bulls and tested them, there is a lot of lean meat, but there is no white cow's messy branch pattern, it is an ordinary fat texture, and the texture is very small, but the muscles are solid, and the proportion of sperm meat is very high."

"No messy branches?" Ju An touched his chin and thought about it. It's impossible, buddy, the gray cow mated with the black cow in the pasture and gave birth to the white cow with the texture of the messy branches, although it is thicker than the gray cow, but the obvious messy branch lines can be seen at a glance, of course, Ju'an likes to call it the messy branches, the official name is tl gray cow ice pattern, and the river white cow rough ice pattern.

Norman also shook his head and explained, "I don't know why the gray cow is still like that now. However, there is no previous heritability when breeding, and the ice pattern can't be inherited, and many of the white cattle are meat, and most of them are fat, and there is no commercial value at all, so I'm also strange. It's as if the strong genes of the gray cow are slowly disappearing, and only the same gray cow can keep the inheritance of the ice pattern! ”。

Listening to Norman's mention, Ju An thought for a while, could it be that the gray cow was too strong with the breath of space when it first came out, and now it has been passed down for several generations, and the heredity has stabilized in the gray cattle population? Thinking of this, Ju An was a little worried about the quality of the gray cattle: "So has the quality of the gray beef in the pasture decreased?" ”。 Don't ask buddies to send a batch of cattle into the space every few years, this is a bit too bold, and you can't escape the eyes of these shields.

"You don't have to worry about that! The meat quality of the gray cattle is still very good, I am talking about the genetics between the cattle species, for the gray cattle between the genetics is very stable, the breeding between the white cattle is also very stable, the calves born are completely inherited from the previous generation of cattle excellent genes," Norman explained to Juan.

Ju An heard this and said, "That's good! ”。 It seems that the genes of the gray cow are fixed in their own cattle breeds like the white cattle, and this cross-breed is not good, and it is also a good thing. The cattle thief steals less now, steal more? It's a really toosimple, toona?ve. If you can really steal dozens of cattle from the pasture, being the U.S. F.B.I. and customs is really idle. Thinking of this, Ju'an was a little happy again.

Norman continued: "My task next year is to continue to breed new breeds, and this new brown breed will also be bred, and when it comes time to slaughter, we will look at the quality of the meat."

"You can do this," and then turned to Leonard and said: "The breeding of coarse-rooted ferns in the pastures here should be able to be let go, and after a while, I plan to buy another ranch to raise goats and other meat livestock, and then I will trouble Leonard to go to the new ranch to continue cultivating coarse-rooted ferns." This mutton doesn't matter, donkey meat is really indispensable, in addition to eating at home, but also to develop towards the world's largest market, you can't let those profiteers who add things indiscriminately make money with their conscience.

"Norman! That brown cow of yours has a lot of lean meat? Wang Fan said to Norman.

Norman listened and nodded: "The fat content is very small, the grilled steak is not the best, and the meat quality is also general, of course, the quality of the beef stocked in the pasture of Xishui River is a little higher, but the ordinary pasture is stocked, and the meat quality should be slightly better than the ordinary free-range beef, but the good ones are limited."

Wang Fan happily said to Ju An: "Anzi! This cow is good~~! ”。

"What's not bad!" Ju An glanced at Wang Fan: "Haven't you heard?" It's not suitable for grilling steaks, buddies now have white cattle and gray cattle in their pastures, where is there time to raise this kind of cattle! ”。

"I said, why don't you open your mind," Wang Fan hated iron and steel, and pointed at Ju An with his hand and said, "Then how do you say that we eat beef for Chinese food?" ”。

"Boiled slices and sprinkled with seasonings, or stew and eat, or stir-fry the beef tenderloin," Ju An looked at Wang Fan and said cautiously while touching his head.

Wang Fan nodded and said: "That's it, we don't eat steak in China, we don't pay attention to locking water or anything, many of us are boiled with soup, or we eat dry cuts to do so many fat strips, which is just suitable for the domestic market."

Listening to Wang Fan's inspiration, Ju An understood. That's right! Dude's eyes are always staring at the American market, how can I forget the country, buddy, this is all free-range, and when the time comes, it will be regarded as a contribution to the safety of the domestic people's table.

Thinking of this, he patted Wang Fan on the shoulder and said, "You are a person, although you only eat all day and don't do anything, this critical moment is still a little useful!" ”。

Wang Fan skimmed Ju An, stretched out his middle finger to Ju An, and then turned his head to look out the window without hesitation.

Ju An said to Norman: "Then this cattle breed should be cultivated in a hurry, when do you expect it to be able to be cultivated on a large scale?" ”。

Norman thought for a while: "If it is a large-scale breeding, it will take three or four years, after all, it will take at least one or two generations of investigation to see if the genes of the cattle breed are stable, and if it is ready for large-scale cultivation, then at least half of the bull gray cattle can not be slaughtered this year, and they will be left for breeding."

"There's no problem with this!" Ju An waved his hand and said, it is expected that next year's five or six hundred male gray cattle will not be sold, and the income will not be much, and the more money is a drop in the bucket compared to the sales of the entire ranch, which is really not a big deal.

Leonard said with a smile: "Norman and I have already arranged our tasks for next year, and we will wait for a few other professors to come over and ask them to make a plan for you, you can also take a look, since we are preparing to breed cows and produce milk products, we have added an additional dairy expert this time."

"I still don't look at this thing" Ju An thought about it, and decided not to take over this hot potato, buddy came to the United States to enjoy happiness, and not to watch your group of professors and experts engage in scientific research, thinking about the university mechanism of the United States, he simply said to the two people: "Why don't you set up a joint meeting mechanism of experts, I don't care how the funds are distributed at that time, in the end I just need to look at the results."

You can't let the shields take money for nothing, Leonard and Norman are two professors who know their roots, and the two of them are also satisfied with their work, in case there is a person who doesn't do anything with money, buddies will not be polite, no matter what, buddies must see a benefit, even if it is a long-term benefit, don't have nothing in a few years, buddy will not be wronged in vain.

Norman listened to this proposal and agreed very much, glanced at the old man Leonard, the old man was also smiling, Norman said to Ju An: "This proposal is not bad, now our institute is in three directions, livestock breeds, dairy products, plant research, there is a joint meeting that everyone can better coordinate and discuss."

"As for the director of this institute, you can discuss it yourself, I don't care, but the accountant has to occupy a seat in the joint meeting," Ju An stuffed in, and one person was ready to let go. If you don't have your own accounting firm to join in and supervise, it's not good for anyone. With this, everyone can rest assured, and the accounts are clear at a glance.
