Chapter 161: Raising a flock of sheep

I didn't want to break up the two of them intentionally, the work was done for me, and it was done very well, the more idle my employees are, the happier I am, especially like Han Xiaobai, after all, we had a good relationship between workers.

Now that he has a task, he is the most suitable person to be arranged, and he also wants to run more errands and does not want to be too idle.

Han Xiaobai really lived up to my expectations, ran outside for three days in a row, and found 5 units that needed green fodder.

A horse farm, a large sheep farm, a farm specializing in donkeys, two cattle farms. The two cattle farms are more than 100 kilometers away from Loess County, which is far away, and the profits will be less, which is better than letting those green fodder go to waste.

Han Xiaobai negotiated the business and signed a long-term supply contract, he sent the contract to me and asked me, "Why don't you build your own farm with so many green fodder?" ”

It is also said that the price of beef and mutton in the market is still high, which is also a good business opportunity, so I moved my mind.

I made a trip to the previous cattle farm to buy some cowboys from him.

As a result, the owner's words made me dispel the idea of raising cattle.

"Raising cattle is very troublesome, but not to throw the feed to them on the line, don't look at the cow so big, you have to serve it like a baby, clean up the manure, but also care about its body, once sick, a cow will be wasted, not fat, not counted, if you don't get good, you will die, a dead cow, you raise 10 cows may not return to the capital."

I don't have much time to spend on a herd of cattle, although there are so many robots in my space, and Zhao Mengfei and a few people, they are not professional cattle breeders, and some problems with the cows themselves are difficult to solve. I retreated from raising cattle.

found a professional sheep farmer, and this old man was very enthusiastic. Because there are too many sheep, I really can't take care of those little lambs, how to deal with it, I am worried, seeing that I want to raise, so he sold it to me at the best price.

When I first started raising sheep, I didn't know much about the condition of these sheep, so I first got more than 100 Boer goats and sent them into the space. I made it clear to the old man that if I kept it, I would continue to buy it from him.

A flock of sheep has been added to the space, and the happiest thing is Ruxue, who likes these little animals and goes to play with them when he has time. And the most unhappy thing is Ruyu, because I have revived it again.

It doesn't matter if it's happy or not, the work still has to be done, but its explanation is not because of the increased workload, but because the sheep are not so well-behaved, scurrying around the island, and even sometimes burrowing into the crop fields and grazing on corn and wheat.

This has to be taken seriously by me. To this end, I bought a few truckloads of green bricks and cement, and Ruyu was in charge of enclosing 200 acres of land specifically for grazing goats.

With green fodder to eat and a unique space for water to drink, this flock of sheep grows very well.

Considering the situation of pig breeding at that time, the goats would also be distributed and shipped out in batches in the future, so 100 goats were brought in from the farmers every three to five days and sent into the space until all the lambs from the old man were pulled. There are 1,500 sheep in the space.

And that wasn't all, and when I told the old man that he had the lamb he didn't want to give me, he was naturally happy.

The growth of the goats was not to be underestimated, and the speed was 10 times faster than in the real world, so I had to think about the future sales in advance, so I approached the director of the meat factory.

"You can really toss! Forget about so many pigs, you still have sheep! There were so many deliveries that I had to think about making workers work overtime. ”

It seems to be a complaint, but in fact he is very happy, because Boer goat meat is very popular with customers.

At the same time, I made a similar request to him before, if he felt that it could not be sold in Loess County, I could also process it and be responsible for selling it to areas outside Loess County.

Maybe the factory director believed in my strength, and the matter was easily solved, saying that as long as I had enough goats.

Now that there is a market, I don't have to worry about how many sheep I raise, I just need to continue to wait for them to grow up in the space.

Sheep grow slower than pigs, but they can grow to seventy or eighty pounds in a month in space. When I distributed the goats in batches to the meat factory, the director was shocked and said that the sheep I sent were fatter than everyone else's.

Since then, I have not only delivered pigs to the meat factory, but also goats.

The mutton was sold out as soon as it came on the market, until later, as I sent more and more, the loess county gradually became saturated, and I began to distribute to various franchise stores. Sales are in short supply, just like pork at the beginning.

The animals in the space grow faster, the plants grow faster, and the fruit saplings are already more than one person tall.

The fruit trees planted before are still very lush, but fortunately, Zhao Mengfei and several people prune them from time to time, so that the fruits can grow better when they see the sun.

The cut branches are piled up together, which are inconspicuous at first, but then they become more and more piled up, and if you don't think about it, it will be garbage in the future. I contacted the paper mill for this.

When the director heard that it was a fruit tree branch, he was very happy to buy it, saying that wood pulp could make better quality paper. Since he wanted it, I thought about giving it to him.

In order to be able to transport better, I specially purchased a baling and packing machine to tie up the branches, so that they are stable and not easy to scatter when loaded on the car, and the drivers are also relieved, and they can earn more freight than the bulk ones.

I had the idea of buying a baler to compress the branches, but when the director of the paper mill saw me packing it like this, he immediately called back, hoping that the straw would be bundled in the same way.

It is my aim to meet the requirements of our customers.

Facts have proved that after the wheat straw is bundled, the drivers are also willing to pull the goods, which can be 1/3 more than before, and the freight can naturally earn more.

This baler also needs people to operate, so it naturally fell on Zhao Mengfei and others.

It's a lot of work, and the two robots have no complaints, if it was like rain before, it would have complained, maybe now it's like Lu to accompany it, but it has no opinion. There are opinions on Zhao Mengfei and a few people.

After all, manual feeding is a heavy job, for which Rufeng has carried out a set of automation design.

I had to buy a new type of equipment, which can automatically add wheat straw or fruit branches, Zhao Mengfei only needs to drive a forklift to fork the bundled wheat straw fruit tree branches, or directly load the truck.

I found that as long as the production on the island is designed according to the idea of automation, it can not only improve productivity, but also reduce the labor intensity of the citizens on the island. Now only the picking of vegetables has to be done manually, even if they are robots.

For this matter, I specifically consulted Rufeng.

And Rufeng's answer is really helpless, because of the particularity of vegetables, it cannot be automatically controlled like the production line, and now they can only bother to do it themselves. It will consider this matter and talk about it when it has a plan.
