Wyoming's biological laboratory is a joint project between Su Zhen and the University of Wyoming, as early as the original Wyoming ranch construction, began to be built, Su Zhen provided the laboratory with corresponding research equipment and funds, and the University of Wyoming produced researchers, and once there are research results, it is naturally Su Zhen to benefit, the University of Wyoming got its name.

But for more than three years, the investment of millions of dollars in research funds every year has not even made a sound, so that Su Zhen slowly forgot that there is such a laboratory, and he didn't expect to suddenly get such good news now, which is an incentive for Su's agriculture, which has been hit hard last year.

Last year overall, Su's agriculture profitability is still good, but all this at the end of 03, the situation changed, on December 23 last year, a case of mad cow was found in the dairy town of Mabuton in Washington State, which caused panic throughout the United States, this is the first time in the history of the United States that mad cow disease appeared, although Su Zhen's ranch cattle are top-range beef cattle, it is impossible to be affected by mad cow disease, but beef sales have been greatly affected, many restaurants or reduced, Or canceled orders, resulting in less than half of the beef orders in January last year, and sales in supermarkets and shopping malls have dropped sharply, which has seriously hit the beef cattle breeding that is the largest proportion of Su's agricultural profits, and many beef cattle that have reached the slaughter period cannot be slaughtered, and in terms of exports, many countries have adopted trade restrictions on beef cattle in the United States, suspending the import of beef products from the United States, although the health department has repeatedly emphasized that the sick cattle have not polluted the beef supply chain in the United States, but it is useless.

However, Su Zhen still has some reservations about the meat quality in Ham's mouth exceeding that of Wagyu beef, if this is really the case, it is not worth a revolution in the breeding industry, and even the patent of this new cattle breed can bring Su Zhen far more benefits than Google and Apple, you know, how many years has there been no new high-value beef cattle breeds?

Unfortunately, the term of patent protection is only 20 years. After all, cattle breeds are different from other inventions, as long as the core skills of the general invention are well protected, it may never leak, but cattle are different, as long as any live cattle are outflowed, it means the loss of cattle breeds, so this thing can only be patented.

Su Zhen told Ham not to leak the news of the new cattle breed to the outside world for the time being, and he would talk about everything when he went back, so he hung up the phone and thought about it. He also called Mark and asked him to send someone to strengthen the defense of the laboratory.

"What's wrong? Look at how happy you look? Lux was a little strange when she saw Su Zhen's beaming face when she returned to the deck.

Su Zhen didn't speak, he directly hugged Lux and kissed him fiercely before replying, "Great joy, the biological laboratory I invested in has finally come to fruition, they have developed a new breed of beef cattle, if it is really as good as they say, it would be great."

"It's just a new breed of cattle, is it so good that it makes you so moved?" Both Nicole and Lux were puzzled. They don't know much about agriculture and animal husbandry, so they don't see the huge profits that lie ahead.

"Ha Luha, that's of course, but the specific situation has to go back to find out. But I'm afraid our honeymoon will have to end early," Su Zhen said with regret.

"Let's go back, I haven't seen a child in almost a month, it's weird," Nicole said first, and Lux nodded.

"So be it. We will go back tomorrow" Su Zhen saw that the second daughter did not object, so he walked into the cabin and started the yacht. Drive to the shore.

A few days later, Su Zhen took the two back to Wyoming, and when he got home, he didn't wait for a drink, Su Zhen took out the black elf from the stable, and rode with Mark to the direction of the laboratory.

When Su Zhen arrived at the test laboratory, he found that there were many more guards around than before, and it seemed that they were arranged by Mark.

In fact, this laboratory is not only the research and breeding of beef cattle, but also the research and cultivation of sheep, goats, dairy cows and several crops, but beef cattle breeding has always been the ultimate main business of the ranch, so the beef cattle research department of the laboratory is the largest, and the people and funds are also the most sufficient.

Su Zhen entered the laboratory, turned a few corners, and arrived at the research area of beef cattle.

"Sue, you're finally here, I'll take you to see our new breed of cattle" Ham saw Su Zhen coming, and was extremely excited to pull Su Zhen to the area behind the laboratory.

Soon we were in a pastoral area behind the lab, "Look, that's our new breed," Ham said, pointing to a herd of cattle in the herd.

Su Zhen took a look, this group of cattle is very special, the fur is dark red, a bit like a Red Angus cow, but unlike the Red Angus cow, the head of the cow has long horns, and there is a very peculiar handful of collar hair on the front of the cow's neck. But it's quite handsome.

"Are you sure that the meat quality of the beef surpasses that of Wagyu beef?" Su Zhen looked at the cows and asked.

"I'm very sure, the meat quality definitely surpasses that of Wagyu, we have slaughtered a few heads, the fat distribution is very clever, the pattern is also extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than the top snowflake Wagyu, let alone the meat quality." Ham swore by it.

"What about growth, reproduction and breeding?" Su Zhen continued to ask.

"Breeding is very good, ordinary pasture can be, and the slaughter period is less than 10 months, there is no problem in reproduction, cows can generally be bred and conceived in about 8 months, and all cattle, one per litter, how many calves can be produced in a lifetime This still needs time to be verified, bulls are relatively late, about 16 months or so" Ham said with his hand against the glasses.

"How did you get this cow?" Su Zhen asked with some puzzlement.

"It's thanks to the few bison you got here, those bison are rare purebred North American bison, you must know that the real purebred North American bison is completely extinct, I really don't know where you found it, we have finally bred this kind of cattle after more than a year of crossbreeding and breeding" Ham sighed.

"Bison is extinct? Yellowstone, aren't those? Su Zhen was dumbfounded and said, his own heads were brought by Yellowstone Park.

"Of course not, the bloodlines of those bison in Yellowstone Park have long been impure, otherwise the Ministry of Agriculture would have taken them for research a long time ago, and would they have been put there to see?" Ham said disdainfully.

"Ahem, I just accidentally found it around the ranch, I thought these bison were purebred" Su Zhen said a little embarrassed, he thought that those bison in Yellowstone Park were all purebred, could he be so lucky? Just a few bulls are purebred? Or is it because he raised these cattle in Jade for a few months?

"But be prepared that these cattle will probably be classified by the Department of Agriculture as the same protected breed as longhorns," Ham said.

"It doesn't matter, if the meat quality really reaches the level you said, and the breeding is so easy, I'm afraid that the farmers of Wagyu cattle will go bankrupt" Su Zhen shook his head and said, it is good to list it as a protected cattle breed, it is a big deal to sell only finished beef abroad, so that if there is a strong force outside the country to steal cattle breeds, you don't have to do anything yourself, the US government will come forward to deal with it, and once it is listed as a protected cattle breed, the price of beef will also rise.

And as he said, if the meat quality of this kind of beef really exceeds that of Wagyu, even if it is only sold a little cheaper than Wagyu, those Wagyu farmers will have to cry, after all, although Wagyu is the top beef cattle, but the breeding cost is also as high as heartbreaking, so the actual profit of Wagyu cattle in the world is actually not much higher than that of ordinary Angus cattle.

"In that case, I'll report the relevant information to the Department of Agriculture when I go back," Ham said, nodding.

However, Su Zhen and Ham still underestimated the importance of the Department of Agriculture to the new breed of cattle, Ham reported a few days later, the Department of Agriculture sent people, and it was the headquarters of the Federal Department of Agriculture and the state Department of Agriculture together, after all, the emergence of such a new breed of cattle has a huge positive effect on the agriculture of the entire United States, as the world's largest agricultural exporter accounting for half of the world's agricultural exports, it is naturally extremely important to the new breakthrough in agricultural technology, Especially when this breakthrough threatens to break the monopoly of Kobe beef as the world's top beef, even Ann, who is the Minister of Agriculture. Veneman couldn't sit still. (To be continued......)
