Chapter 131: New Cattle Breed [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
In the comfortable Mercedes-Benz car, Ji Feng sat in the wide rear space, lit a cigarette in his hand, and looked at the nearly meter-high grass on both sides of the road, feeling very happy.
Since the grass was planted in the spring, after a summer and autumn reproduction, the entire pasture is almost completely filled with its own space grass.
This new grass species, which was named Jeju forage grass by the ranch people, was tested by animal husbandry experts and found that it was extremely nutritious, and contained several nutrients that are not yet known.
After this Jeju grass fed out of the Korean beef, the meat quality is more tender and delicious, the quality instantly improved several levels, directly catching up with the quality of Wagyu beef, now in addition to supplying restaurants on the island, there are also a small number of exports to South Korea, the follow-up feedback back to the news shows that the reputation there is very good, that is, the price is also two or three percent more expensive than the Korean beef fed in South Korea, but even so, it is still in short supply.
In the autumn, animal husbandry experts from South Korea and Japan came to learn about it and tried to cause this new grass to come, but without the help of the water of the space lake, whether they transplanted or directly collected the grass, they all failed, and Zuihou had to put his mind to Ji Feng.
It's just that although their ideas are good, Ji Feng is not stupid, his own space forage is his own exclusive product, how can he let you plant it casually, do you want to make it impossible for you to compete with yourself in the future.
At present, the most expensive beef on Shijie is still Wagyu beef, which costs as much as US$300 per 500 grams on the island. The price of balongfish is the same. With such an expensive beef, the monthly sales volume on the island is still several tons, and I have to say that there are still quite a few rich people on the island. Ji Feng has eaten a few times is indeed good, but Ji Feng prefers to eat his own family beef, anyway, his requirements for eating are not too high.
In the face of such a high-end market, although the sales target is aimed at the wealthy class, how much financial income does Wagyu bring to Japan every year, although Ji Feng did not calculate, he also knows that it is definitely a lot, and the key is that this brand makes people a little envious and jealous.
Compare it to. Although the price of Korean beef produced on his own ranch is not low in South Korea, it can barely be sold for $50 a catty, and the price of Hanwoo on the island is basically the same as $42 a catty. Further down is the kind of beef cattle imported from the United States, purely to satisfy the appetite of the common people.
When Ji Feng decided to raise cattle, in addition to wanting to get Korean cattle to focus on the mid-end market, that is, to satisfy his laziness. After all, feeding the cows is more convenient. By the way, it can also solve the shortage of meat on the island, in the high-end market, Ji Feng wants to introduce Wagyu beef, but this cow is too troublesome to feed, Ji Feng is the most afraid of trouble, so naturally he will not cause this kind of cattle, but will focus on the market.
Although he has not yet tested the quality of his space cattle, Ji Feng believes that it will definitely not be worse than Wagyu, and even a few grades higher in Ji Feng's opinion. Although the high-end market sales cannot be so large. But in the same way, the area of his pasture is not very large, and this thing mainly relies on exports. Less is less, as long as the quality is reliable, the price is the same as that of Wagyu or a little more expensive than him, I'm afraid the rich people on Shijie are not unacceptable.
I looked around the pasture, and when I met the cows, I stopped to look at them from time to time, and saw the cows eating the grass leisurely, and there were some calves playing happily in the herd from time to time, or arching under the mother's belly to feed, but the cows were divided into a separate area, which was closer to the milking workshop, and at this time I happened to see a few workers driving a group of cows into the workshop, and Ji Feng simply got off here.
"Boss, you haven't been here for a while, I thought you didn't care about your ranch anymore." Park Jae-cheon saw Ji Feng's car coming from a distance, he happened to be here, he hurriedly went outside to wait, when Ji Feng's car just stopped, he immediately opened the car door for Ji Feng, and at the same time, he said with some resentment, like a little daughter-in-law who was left out.
Ji Feng got out of the car with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't I come, take me to see the milking workshop." "After the completion of this place, Ji Feng really hasn't been here, and the last time he came to the ranch was before the Asian Games.
The size of the whole milking workshop seems to be not small, but when you think about 200 square kilometers of pasture, it is trivial to raise hundreds of thousands of cows, even if only a small half of them are dairy cows, then you need several such automatic milking workshops.
Not far from the milking workshop is the milk powder production workshop, and the automatic milking workshop is connected to the disinfection and sterilization workshop, automatic filling workshop, packaging workshop, etc. The island's fresh milk is supplied by this farm, and dozens of tons of fresh milk are filled every day and delivered to the shelves of major supermarkets.
Perhaps in order to protect the local industry, or perhaps to believe more in local brands, the first choice of milk for residents on the island is milk produced here, and later the government department saw that the sales of other milk were not good, so they simply banned the import. Now, the islanders of the whole island can only choose their own milk, although some people think that this is inappropriate, but the noise is not loud, and more islanders still believe in their own pasture property.
The automatic milking workshop extends directly to the grass, and the middle of it is surrounded by a large circle, which can accommodate hundreds of cows milking at the same time, and after the cows are driven into the stalls that are separated, the workers will put the automatic milking machine on the milk of the cows: on the head, the milk disinfection and milking of the cows are fully automated, and the other end is connected to a thick pipe, which leads directly to the sterilization workshop, and there is no need for manual intervention in the whole process from milking to filling the finished product, and the degree of automation is quite high, although the price of the equipment is much more expensive, However, it can save a lot of labor costs, which is very important for the island, which is not very rich in human resources.
"Boss, this is the first phase of the automatic milking workshop, and in the future, our Jihua will build five to eight automatic milking workshops as needed." Park Jae-cheon looked at the spotless automatic milking workshop and felt a little proud in his heart. In the past, he only fed beef cattle. Cows are too troublesome to raise, so they have not been involved, but with Ji Feng's cows imported from rice to produce milk. After the completion of the entire assembly line workshop, he made a lot of efforts to personally go to Shijie countries to inspect a circle, and finally introduced this equipment with a high degree of automation from the Netherlands.
Ji Feng nodded slightly and smiled: "It's not bad, but at present, only this one workshop is not enough, let people build a few immediately, and a batch of new cows will come in soon." There are about 1,500 adult cows, and all the equipment for the new cows is separated from the equipment used by the existing cows. ”
Park Jaetian's complacent mind just now was suddenly choked back by Ji Feng's words, and said in astonishment: "Boss." Are you serious? 1,500 adult cows? ”
Ji Feng patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "That's just adult cows, and there are many semi-adult and young cows, okay, you can let people prepare." Let's go to the dock in two days and pull the cows. Oh yes, there are about 2,000 beef cattle, more than Wagyu beef cattle, after I came, let the experts test the beef quality of beef cattle, to see the quality of their beef, I believe it should not be worse than Wagyu, the milk produced by dairy cows is the kind of milk I asked Lin Hui to test in the spring. ”
Although Ji Feng is very confident in the space production, the world believes more in the test report. There is also the taste of the actual tasting, after not being tested by experts and the market. Faith alone will not do.
Park Jaetian, who heard Ji Feng's words on the side, was already excited and was about to dance. The most nutritious and balanced milk that has been tested and said to be shijie is finally about to be available, and this milk will be exclusive to your own farm. Now there are many people who are thinking about it, I asked Ji Feng several times before, and he refused to take it out on the grounds that the grass did not grow well, but he didn't expect that today he finally let himself get his wish.
I went to see the automatic milk powder production line and the automatic slaughtering line again, and I was very satisfied. Although Ji Feng has never participated in this kind of enterprise in China, he can see that the entire workshop is cleaned by the workers, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it. And Ji Feng knew that they should be like this as usual, but he didn't say anything about his coming today, and he was completely improvised.
Jeju Island is surrounded by the sea, so the air is relatively humid, although at this time many places are under construction, but because of the good dust reduction measures, coupled with the humid air, the dust on the whole island is not big, office workers at least prefer the weather here, wearing leather shoes once a week is enough, not at all like the inland of the country, leather shoes are eager to be wiped two or three times a day.
On the third night after returning from the pasture, Ji Feng quietly drove the 10,000-ton bulk carrier out to sea alone, and when he came back, the ship was already full of more than 4,000 dairy cows and beef cattle. Although Ji Feng did not count carefully, he could roughly estimate that the total number of the two types of cattle still exceeded 4,000, and the dairy cows should be less than 2,000, and the reproduction rate of beef cattle was obviously slightly faster than that of dairy cows.
I called Park Jae-cheon and asked him to drive more than a dozen trucks to Seogwipo Port to pull cattle. When Park Jae-cheon got on the boat and saw the herd of cattle that were nearly two meters high, with strong muscles and shiny hair, his eyes almost popped out, he had raised cattle for more than 20 years, and he had never seen such a strong and beautiful cow, and the words of beef cattle were just that, no matter how good they looked, they were also eaten, but the words of the cows really made people like it at a glance, not only the fat and strong, especially the milk peak under the belly was about to reach the deck by the milk. Some cows' six nipples are still dripping with milk from time to time, and Park Jaetian is distressed to see it, it's all money, and it's Shijie's top milk.
Ji Feng smiled and patted the back of the two kinds of cows, and said with a smile: "The beef cow is called Trenying cow, which can grow to about 2.5 tons, and the cow is called Takikle cow, and the milk produced is the kind of milk I asked Lin Hui to test in the spring, and the annual milk production can reach 40 tons per head if it is fed. In order to increase Park Jaetian's sense of responsibility, Ji Feng had to fool him a few words.
Park Jaetian was still happy with the two big herds in front of him just now, but Ji Feng's words suddenly frightened him and almost didn't climb down, my God, where did you get this top-notch product from here, this price is too expensive, even if you sell me, you can't get it back.
"Boss, don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong, I will personally watch it, whoever steals our cattle will take my life first." Park Jae-tian hurriedly assured Ji Feng that if the yield that Ji Feng said could be reached, it would be the most prolific cattle on Shijie, but he knew how important a haode breed was to the cattle farm, and good things were naturally monopolized to make money.
