Chapter 444: Consideration of the Deer Herd
There are also many friends who call to ridicule the big wild boar, and they regret that they can't taste the taste of the big wild boar!
In front of these old friends, Qin Yi couldn't help but say a few words in a joking, but he couldn't help everyone's greed, there were too many people in the ranch that day, and the big wild boar that was still a few hundred catties after slaughtering was still divided by everyone!
So, ha, no more regrets!
These are trivial things, everyone takes this opportunity to make a phone call to chat a few words, contact the feelings, it will not really be remembered in the heart, after all, no matter how big it is, it is a wild boar, and it is not that you missed the dragon meat, so just sigh a little.
Qin Yi didn't pay attention to it, in addition to playing with his family and friends in the past few days, he also inspected the ranch.
The ranch fence that had been damaged by the big wild boar was repaired by Ryan as early as the same day, including several twisted and deformed damages, and a large hole nearly two meters wide.
Qin Yi also went to see it, and corrected the twist, the traces were not too obvious, but the cracked holes, which were re-tightened with iron wires along the cracks, as if they were stitched together, there was an obvious scar, and in the middle of a long smooth and beautiful fence, it looked very different.
At that time, the daughters-in-law also muttered a few words like "hateful big wild boar", which made Qin Yi amused, well, no matter how hateful it is, he has already gone to hell to find trouble with Satan!
It's just that when he went back, he couldn't laugh again at a herd of herds that he patrolled.
Because among the thousands of big cows and calves, there are more than 100 white-tailed deer!
There is nothing strange about the existence of white-tailed deer, and Qin Yi also agreed to let the white-tailed deer stay in the pasture to live.
It's just that half a year ago, there were only a few dozen white-tailed deer living in the pasture as residents, and now there are newly settled and newborn fawns. It grew to more than 100 heads in half a year, and after a few years, the ranch was simply renamed Deer Farm!
Originally, in his thoughts, raising some white-tailed deer and black-tailed deer was to kill meat-eaters, and it didn't matter if they killed a dozen or so in the pasture. But slaughtering in large quantities, even if the ranch is private territory, will cause a lot of disputes!
Therefore, this growing number of deer will not only not bring benefits, but will also become a burden on the pasture, and how to deal with it has become a problem.
Just now, Angel and Betsy saw that group of cute deer. He ran up cheering, and after a while he picked up a fawn and giggled and played.
Qin's mother and the women also followed behind, although they did not lead the deer around like children, but they all squatted down and lured them to their side with grass, reaching out to touch and scratch, and their hearts were happy.
The deer follow the herd of cattle to graze. I've seen a lot of cowboys, and I'm not afraid of people at this time. That's why everyone can succeed, otherwise don't talk about catching and teasing, when you see everyone approaching, you will scatter in a hurry!
Qin Yi paced slowly in the distance, frowning and thinking about this question.
"Yi, I was just about to tell you about this." Ryan, who was traveling with him, saw him like this. He opened his mouth to explain.
"Now there are only a few hundred deer and they have been grazing with the cattle, so it doesn't matter if it's a ranch of our size, but in the long run. In particular, when the pasture grazing capacity is saturated, it will bring problems in many aspects such as management and forage growth. ”
Qin Yi nodded, this was exactly what he was worried about, "Then we have to limit the growth of the deer herd!" Or just drive the deer out? ”
"There's no denying that kicking out is the best thing to do!" Ryan nodded first, then changed his tone, and said helplessly: "However, a large ranch like ours must also take into account social responsibility!" ”
Qin Yi nodded, he also understood this, how much ability and how much responsibility to bear, such as social employment, environmental protection, wildlife protection, giving back to the society, etc., is not mandatory, but if you want to develop for a long time, you must take the initiative to undertake these.
At this time, Susa played with the cute fawn for a while, walked back, and happened to hear the discussion between the two, so he said: "Then set aside an area on the edge of the ranch near the Rocky Mountain for wildlife conservation!" ”
Then, she looked at Qin Yi and said, "Yi, Sun River Ranch is in the hands of the previous rancher, and it is committed to animal protection, otherwise the number and variety of wild animals in this area from the ranch to the Rocky Mountain would not be so numerous!" ”
"So we're keeping these animals for nothing?" Qin Yi didn't understand a little, even if he had to assume social responsibility, he didn't make money himself, but he still paid for it!
If you really set aside an area, then not only white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, but even bison, moose, springbok, etc., will come to join in the fun, after all, the pasture grass is really a great attraction for animals!
Susa smiled and explained carefully: "We protect animals, we don't keep them all the time, as long as they are allowed to enter the pasture for the winter in the season when there is a shortage of food, and they still have to be allowed to migrate out of the pasture in other seasons!" ”
Ryan on the side also nodded, he had done this in previous years, and he wanted to say this, but at this time, Susa opened his mouth and stopped talking very interestingly.
"Ha, Yi, you don't know as much as I do!"
Seeing them discussing things, Chloe also ran with a grin, holding a fawn in his arms, and the little one was still chewing grass in his mouth, looking left and right curiously, not afraid of people at all!
Well, it's all cowboys' habit!
"It's not glamorous to say, but do you think they're all philanthropists? Protecting animals is also profitable, not to mention the good image and reputation it brings, the ranch will also be subsidized by the government, and there is even a tax reduction policy! ”
Chloe had a smug expression of "I know a lot", and after speaking, he saw that Susa was playing with the deer, and hurried up again!
Qin Yi nodded slowly, taking social responsibility will indeed win praise, but he didn't expect that there would be government subsidies, he thought that those rich people had more money and burned their hands, spending money to earn money, it turned out to be like this!
It is true that there is little grazing in winter, and cattle and sheep are mainly fed with silage, so that the pasture accepts wild animals for the winter, and only a crop of pasture is lost, and it will not adversely affect the operation of the pasture.
But the social praise and tax relief that this brings are great benefits!
Knowing this, he glanced at Ryan beside him and made a decision: "Then so be it, Ryan, this matter is still in charge of you, you have managed the Sun River Ranch for several years before, and you should have experience." ”
"Yes, I was going to find a time to talk about it. Last year, there was a lot of pasture stuff, pasture, calf purchases, etc., and it was the first year of our new pasture, so I didn't talk about it for the sake of safety. Ryan took the opportunity to explain.
Qin Yi smiled and said that he understood that there were indeed a lot of things last year, and in the first year of the ranch, there must be no mistakes, and Lane's conservative measures are very reasonable.
"So be it, Ryan, keep the deer herd at this size, don't increase it. You are still responsible for the work related to animal protection! ”
After speaking, he was about to tease the fawn with his daughters-in-law, but he remembered something and asked, "Ryan, what procedures do you have to go through?" When the time comes, you don't need a supporting document for tax reduction? ”
Well, as Koloe said, he's not a philanthropist either, and the tax cut is still very attractive to him.
"Yes, Yi, we need to first get in touch with animal organizations and the government, who are responsible for overseeing the implementation of conservation policies."
Qin Yi nodded clearly, then stopped paying attention and joined the ranks of teasing the deer.
Ryan stood aside, looked at it with a smile for a while, then summoned a cowboy and told him about the deer herd, and then began to think about the specific implementation plan for specific animal protection.
And Qin Yi played with his family for a while, and suddenly received a call, picked it up and took a look, but it was Ye Fang's kid.
What's the matter with this guy calling?
Could it be that Angel's baby elephant and big turtle were delivered?
He looked happy and answered the phone. (To be continued.) )
