One hundred and eight sale of pasture
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although the golden pasture is not as big as the Brad next to it, but it can't stand the scarcity of cattle and sheep, so there is a lot of idle pasture, and now it is at the turn of spring and summer, it is the season when the grass grows wildly, and these pastures are used to supplement the golden pasture with some sources of funds.
Pete said as he packed up the emergency medical kit, "You're the boss, you decide." โ
"You are the experts in this area, I am a layman, and your opinions are an important basis for my decision. What do you think, Neil? Wang Hao sighed softly and asked slowly, "Should we sell the grass?" โ
"Let's sell, it's just that we have to prepare our own pastures, and I think that the pastures in those places have never been there, and they can be sold. It's still a difficult question, the ranch is so big, I'll look at the map. โ
He was an impatient man, and he was in a hurry, and after he finished speaking, he ran into the living room and turned out the topographical map of the ranch. Then he took the soup dumpling off the coffee table and patted it on the buttocks, and Neil whispered, "Bun, go play with the little turtle, it hides under the chair." โ
The soup dumpling reluctantly moved, the snow-white and yellowish ball of flesh moved, it stretched out its paws, and then pulled the little turtle hidden under the chair in front of it and began to play.
"Boss, come and have a look. Here, here, and there are all unused, and I think they can be sold. Now the number of cattle and sheep is very small, and they can grow again in ten days and half a month. Neil pointed his finger at places on the map.
Wang Hao followed his fingers and found that those places were remote and relatively arid places, and cattle and sheep didn't like to run so far. The irrigation system is also somewhat inadequate, and the pasture is slightly inferior to that of the Wild Duck Lake.
The management of pasture grazing mostly implements rotational grazing and diurnal grazing. In addition to the fixed fence, the grass also has an active electric fence. Fixed fence grazing usually has the phenomenon of uneven use of grassland and overuse and underutilization.
In particular, the Golden Ranch also has a progressive electric fence for rotational grazing. This equipment only requires a unilateral electric fence on top of a fixed fence, which closes this part of the grassland when it is overutilized, and moves the cattle to underutilized areas for grazing.
These high-tech things were left behind by Joseph, the previous owner of the ranch, and his son worked in these technology companies that produced ranch tools, and there were many good things at home! He bought this ranch at such a cheap price, and he really picked up a bargain.
"What kind of grass grows there? In addition, the size of the ranch needs to be expanded, and I want to wait until the cattle in the barn are slaughtered, and then use the money from the sale to buy more cattle back. With such a large ranch, hundreds of cattle are really a waste. โ
Wang Hao has a lot of affection. Brad's ranch was filled with thousands of cows running wild, and it was a spectacular sight, and it would have been nice to have a similar scene at the Golden Ranch.
"There are perennial ryegrass, alfalfa, and rosin vanilla, all of which are more nutritious but slow growing. If you want to grow fast, then you can go here to harvest the one- and two-year-old grass and trees, red clover, and amaranth. These grasses are separated and cannot be mixed together, otherwise the yield will be greatly affected. โ
Leonard, who had been listening to the side, suddenly spoke: "If I am not mistaken, the place where ryegrass grows just now should be specially used for mowing grass. Last time I saw some exhaust tires there, and we also had to prepare for autumn and winter, and although it's only spring, it doesn't stop us from doing a good job of storing them. โ
He's always been a fan of preparing in advance. In Chinese terms, it means planning ahead. Wang Hao also nodded: "If we need it ourselves, we don't need to sell it, let's go and harvest this grass another day." โ
Forage storage is an important part of Australian pasture production management. Grass is usually reserved for mowing grass for green hay storage, and the quality of the grass regenerated after harvesting is very high. It can be used as grazing land for calves and lambs. Mowing fields are often rotated, and there are often marginal places above the pastures.
Pasture grass is also used for silage. The method of using pasture grass for surface silage is very simple, spread a layer of oilcloth on the surface of the ground, put the grass on the oilcloth, and then cover a layer of oilcloth, close it well, and press the surface of the oilcloth with some waste heavy objects such as waste tires.
The population here is particularly small, and large areas of mountains or hills can be used as grazing grounds, so the pastures are generally extensive, often covering several hills and stretching as far as the eye can see. It is known as the best dimension of the world's golden pasture, Australia and New Zealand in the southern hemisphere, and the Great Lakes region, Montana, and Texas in the northern hemisphere.
After years of exploration, the pastures are now 70% red and white clover seeds mixed with 30% ryegrass seeds. Clover prefers warm climates and grows heavily in summer and fixes nitrogen, while ryegrass grows in cool, wet winters, springs, and falls. In this way, the use of scientific grass planting methods can make the grassland produce a relatively balanced amount of grass throughout the year.
Basically, the grass in the pasture is enough to feed the cattle all year round. If there is a shortage of pasture due to bad weather or a temporary shortage of pasture, the grass is extra replenished instead of fodder. The use of herbicides and pesticides is prohibited in forbidding forbiddenness to pasture grass for cattle consumption in order to prevent toxic chemicals from corroding the land and entering the food chain, posing a potential danger to human health.
"It should be available for sale here, here, and after selling it once in the spring, it will definitely grow in the summer, and then it will be kept as food for the winter on our ranch." After listening to their explanation, Wang Hao knocked on the table with his hand and settled down.
Now he has three different types of cattle in his pasture: one is a cow, which produces milk every day; The other is beef cattle that spend all day and night in the open air of the pasture, and the last is fattening cattle who rest in the barn at night. The forage required by these three kinds of cattle is different, but fortunately, they all choose what to eat by themselves and don't have to worry about Wang Hao.
"That's it, I'll call the forage buying company to make an appointment after lunch. Joseph used to be a big customer of the company, because he didn't raise many cattle and sheep, so he sold more pasture. After Wang Hao finished speaking, he stretched his waist, the ranch has only ushered in a few weak incomes for so long, and almost all of them are constantly pasting money into it.
The money given by the dairy company every day is not much, which can offset the normal living expenses, but the salaries of Pete and Luna are the big ones, and it can only be said that this is a necessary expenditure, otherwise Wang Hao himself will not be able to support this ranch.
After finishing this topic, several big men look at me, and I look at you, and they seem to be thinking about one question, that is, what should I eat at noon today. Luna took Wang Meng, Su Jing, and the three little ones to the hospital in Thor Town, and presumably they would have something to eat in the town, and the four of them would be miserable.
Touching his hungry flat stomach, Wang Hao cried with a sad face, he was busy all morning this morning, and he didn't have time to eat. He told the rest: "It's really inconvenient to stay on the ranch, and if you want to eat some fast food, you don't have a door-to-door delivery business." โ
Neil echoed that he hadn't tasted pizza in a long time, and that takeout wouldn't be delivered to this place at all.
Wang Hao went to the kitchen to take a look and found a few sandwiches on the table. Then he opened the fridge again to see what was in stock, and it turned out that there were only a few slices of toast. He took out a few bottles of cold beer, took the food outside, and said with a smile: "Let's have some sandwiches at noon today, I got you beer, if that's not enough, we can only make that Italian macaroni or vegetable and fruit salad by ourselves, I can't get used to eating those things." โ
They are all people with great appetites, and they must be well fed for physical labor, otherwise they will have no strength to work this afternoon. This sandwich is okay to use as a snack, but it is difficult to fill your stomach.
Leonard gulped down the sandwich in a few bites, and he hurried to take a few sips of beer to keep himself from choking. His face was swollen and red, and after he drank the beer, he burped lightly.
Wang Hao felt a little funny, but he didn't expect Leonard, who has always been calm and steady, to have such a wolf bรจi time. The sandwich and beer are such a strange combination, he thinks it's pretty good, and it feels good to eat.
"Forget it, let me show you how I cook, isn't it macaroni? That's what I used to eat, and I'm going to cook some for you. Look at you like this, if you leave the woman, you won't starve to death! โ
Wang Hao thinks that he is okay, he used to eat out when he was working, and the rented house was too small and there was no kitchen, so it was too troublesome to cook by himself. He waved his hand, and then made a cheering motion: "Go, go, we're counting on you!" โ
Neil had already run to the sofa at this time, holding a gamepad and playing a game against the huge flat-screen TV, and the bang-bang gunfight sounded very passionate, so that Wang Hao and the others couldn't help but be moved.
But he couldn't play at this time, because the soup dumpling was jumping on his thighs and looking at him with a pair of eyes, opening his mouth and meowing incessantly, as if to express his dissatisfaction. It was time for lunch, and while he was still hungry, the hateful master knew that he was having a good time.
Feeling the dissatisfaction of the cat, Wang Hao patted it on the back, then scooped it up with one hand and put it on his shoulder, got up and went to the kitchen to find canned fish for it. Now the soup dumpling life is very comfortable, Wang Hao bought a lot of canned fish for it online, and he was tired of eating cat food or something. (To be continued)
