Chapter Ninety-Three: Collectively Counting Sheep, the Total Number of Sheep in the Pasture!
The harvest festival is just around the corner.
After a year's hard work, to calculate the results at this time, farmers and herdsmen are inevitably a little excited.
Of course, the premise is that there is indeed a good harvest.
Jiang Feng began to organize employees to count sheep.
Some netizens suggested that Jiang Feng use an automatic sheep counting device, now that technology is so developed, it would be good to take pictures and count them with monitoring.
But there are more than 4,000 sheep, and the sheepfolds are all together, and the sheep are constantly moving, which is still a little difficult.
The herdsman's method of counting the sheep is very simple, that is, the sheep are brought to the outside fence, and then a passage can only hold one sheep, and the sheep come out and count one by one.
Taking advantage of the good weather at noon, the sheep in the sheepfold were driven out.
At this moment, on the grass outside the ranch, the employees have fenced off two large circles with railings, and the openings are wide open.
Jiang Feng arranged for Lao Hei, Laifu, and Laicai to drive the sheep in.
Little Jinhua also followed.
Jiang Feng also put the little white wolf and the seven little golden retrievers on the grass and let them learn from the three sheepdogs.
All the dogs charged into battle like soldiers, but the golden retriever was prosperous, and he followed the river breeze like a eunuch beside the emperor.
Flocks of sheep are driven into two pens.
Then the employees closed the entrance to the enclosure.
The sun at 11 a.m. was just right, shining on the herdsmen and sheep, warm.
The cries of the sheep are incessant, adding a bit of excitement to the wasteland.
The drone is shooting from above.
Watching the herdsmen, sheep, and sheepdogs on the grassland walk back and forth, netizens are happy.
Jiang Feng opened his mouth and said:
"Counting sheep today, the method of counting sheep here is to drive all the sheep to one place, and then come out and count one by one, it's like this."
"It's time to count how many sheep I have now."
"When I came here, there were about 4,050 sheep, and more than 300 sheep were sold in the middle, and a lot of lambs were born."
"It should still be stable at 4,000 to 4,100."
Netizens are very happy.
[It turned out to be a sheep!] 】
[Haha, tens of thousands of netizens ran to the live broadcast room to count sheep! ] 】
[One thing to say, I really want to count once! 】
[There are so many sheep in such a big battle! 】
There has always been no shortage of masters among netizens.
A netizen named [10-year-old mentally handicapped] posted a barrage:
[Owner, I have a good way to count sheep!] Just count how many legs there are and divide by 4 to get the number of sheep! 】
Seeing this barrage, people quite agreed.
[It's worthy of being mentally handicapped, I suggest counting the eyes of the sheep, just divide by 2! ] 】
[Counting legs is not necessarily, what if two sheep ride each other and only six legs land on the ground? 】
[What if there are sheep lying down!] 】
[I recommend counting the wool!] 】
The barrage is happy again.
Jiang Feng only smiled when he saw the barrage.
He stood by the fence and looked at his sheep.
The number of these sheep is indeed large, and it is mighty.
Big, small, white-faced, black-faced.
The staff opened a hole in the fence and let the goat go out first.
The sheep in the back immediately followed.
Employees began to count one by one.
In groups of ten, stop when there are 100 sheep and drive the sheep back to the sheepfold in the pasture.
There is a person counting at the exit of the fence, and another person counting at the back, making sure the number is okay.
Jiang Feng said to everyone:
"In the summer, the herders hire shepherds, count the number of sheep before handover, and then give the sheep to the shepherds to graze."
"When the three-month difference is over, I'll count it again."
"If there are fewer sheep, the shepherd will have to pay for it himself."
"It's all the norm."
The ranch employees were counting the sheep, Jiang Feng looked at the ranch employees counting the sheep, and the netizens in the live broadcast room watched Jiang Feng look at the ranch employees counting the sheep.
Jiang Feng and netizens all felt relaxed.
for it is not they who count the sheep.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred
The number of sheep was very fast, and after a while, there were fewer and fewer sheep in the large pen enclosed by two fences.
The flocks of sheep bubbled out one by one like a stream of water.
In the end, one or two hundred of them were left in the nest, and they did not come out.
Fortune and fortune are ready to go, and they know what they want to do next.
"Come to the blessing, come to the wealth, go, drive the sheep!"
Jiang Feng shouted.
Two border collies, one on the left and one on the right, immediately rushed into the fence to drive the flock.
The little border herder, the little wolf, and the seven little golden retrievers all stood on the ground and looked at the heroic posture of the border collie from afar.
They were engrossed, and there was a bit of adoration in their eyes.
The border collie went straight down, got in from under the fence, and then went around behind the sheep, and the sheep in the pen immediately ran to the exit in fear, scrambling to jump out.
Employees count one by one at the exit of the fence.
Finally, the employees of the two fences are combined to calculate the total number of sheep.
"The field chief, it's 4,197."
Yang Maolin walked over and said to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng nodded and replied, "Okay, hard work." ”
Then, the employees spread out to feed the sheep grass.
Jiang Feng counted the number of sheep: "It's been a bit too much to sell these days, and the family didn't sell the sheep because they didn't think they were fat enough, so they didn't sell them, and they only sold some when they came here to eat fat." ”
"The total amount is close to 4200, it's okay, it's a little more in winter."
"When the spring lambs come out next year, it is estimated that they will reach five or six thousand."
At his size, he can get a good income from the cattle and sheep he was born with.
However, he also wanted to make it bigger, so the number of sheep sold was still restrained.
After the sheep were counted, Jiang Feng had nothing to do.
Once again, he came to the cattle farm.
This time, though, it's a dairy farm.
The environment of the dairy farm is much better than that of the cow farm, and it is all dedicated indoors and the temperature is suitable.
Jiangfeng's dairy farm has twenty adult cows, all of which are the treasures of the pasture.
"Live squeeze a cow today."
"People should be interested."
"Cows are a good thing, and the ones with the highest feed conversion rate among livestock are cows."
"There are a lot of dairy products here, and there is a large demand for dairy cows, and there are special dairy farms in those large farms."
"I sell milk once a week, and I don't sell much, because milk is used in many parts of the ranch, so I can only sell a little less to get back the cost."
Jiang Feng walked into the dairy farm and said to netizens.
As soon as they heard that they were going to be milked, netizens were immediately interested.
[Do you want to express a cow?] I can! 】
[What do you say the first person to drink milk did to the cow!] 】
[I said how could there be no cows in the pasture, and finally saw it!] 】
[The owner still has cows here, hiding them very deeply!] 】
[The price of dairy cows is expensive, more expensive than beef cattle!] 】
Jiang Feng walked into the barn and inspected the milk in the barn.
These cows are all black and white colors, and in the aesthetics of the Chinese people, black and white animals are very popular with people.
For example, pandas, killer whales, and the like.
Cows are more relatable than beef cows.
Jiang Feng looked at the barrage and explained:
"Now it's all machine milking, there are special milking machines, it's easier than human hand milking, and the cows are comfortable."
"Technology is developing, and the aquaculture industry is also developing."
This time happens to be the time of milking.
Gerya and Niu Erhu are both here.
Jiang Feng and the two of them walked out with the cow and came to the side of the milker.
Jiang Feng is like wiping the udder of a cow with a disinfected towel.
He also explained:
"Disinfection is also a major challenge in the aquaculture industry."
"The disinfectant wipes used for each cow here are different, and they are specially configured, just for fear of cross-infection."
"Simply disinfect it with a disinfectant towel and then attach it to the breast pump."
The breast pump is similar to a car charger, with two small suction cups at one end, which then provide negative pressure to suck the milk directly into the refrigerator.
It's much faster than milking a cow in one go.
If the pressure starts to increase, it means that there is less milk and the suction cup will fall off automatically.
Looking at the scene of the ranch employees milking cows, netizens were quite interested.
[I've seen it again! 】
[It's so high-tech now!] 】
At this time, someone asked:
[Farmer, don't you say that cows are the livestock with the highest feed conversion rate, so why not raise more cows.] 】
Jiang Feng saw this barrage.
He replied:
"This is a problem related to the market, if you only raise a few dozen cows, you can earn the most efficiently."
"If it's a large dairy farm with hundreds of cows, you have to take into account the refrigeration and transportation of milk, which is very costly."
"Big dairy farms can produce dozens of tons of milk every day, and it's easy to lose money if you don't deal with it quickly."
"So there are fewer dairy farms now, and as far as I know, many dairy farms have been losing money year after year, and they have changed to beef cattle."
"Beef cattle are more stable, and if you raise too many cows, the dairy companies make money."
Hearing Jiang Feng's words, everyone suddenly realized.
The cost of opening a dairy farm is high, the investment is high, and it is troublesome, which is far less worry-free than raising beef cattle.
[Don't look young, be shrewd! ] 】
[What a little clever ghost!] 】
[Such a big ranch with ten employees, if you are not smart, you can't open it at all! ] 】
The barrage responded.
