Chapter 782 782. How to make money by raising cattle

Niu Jia’s explanation did not contain those obscure professional terms, but was simple and easy to understand, and even Song Tan, a layman, now had a rough idea of ​​the breed combination in his mind.

After thinking for a while, she asked curiously: "What kind of cattle are those Wagyu and marbled beef?"

What she raises cannot be worse than Wagyu!

This time it was Niu Ben’s turn to explain: "Don’t listen to the nonsense of the little... people who have a good life! What marbled beef can only be obtained by listening to music and drinking beer? People will have fatty liver if they drink alcohol, so what will happen if cows drink it every day?"

"Marbled beef means marbled beef, which will appear as long as the intramuscular fat of cattle exceeds 10%. As for the three types of cattle that Jia Jia just mentioned, as long as the feed ratio is appropriate, they can all grow!"

"Take the cattle back, raise them in spring, summer and autumn, and adjust the feed in winter when it is cold, to ensure that the meat quality is very good!"

This time, Yan Ran also listened intently, took pictures with the camera, and kept remembering the key points.

After thinking for a while, Niu Ben said, "Teacher Song said that you have a farm, right? Do you need cattle to plow the land? If you do, I also recommend these three types. These three types can reproduce, grow meat, and work."

"As long as they are not too tired, they just grow meat slowly. In fact, the meat is firm and has more flavor."

Song Tan thought about it. There is work, but do you need cattle? Not really.

But since these three types of cattle are the most common in the entire grassland, these three types must be suitable.

She looked at Professor Song and listened to the professionals throughout the process.

Professor Song laughed: "I said I should bring Tantan here. Some experiences cannot be accumulated without seeing them with your own eyes."

"Niu Ben, the place where Tantan's family grazes cattle is a river beach. The place is not as big as yours, but it is also a hundred acres. However, apart from the dozen acres of beach and reed marshes, the usable area is far less than yours."

"Just tell her how to arrange it?"

"It's not small!" Niu Ben is very well planned:

"The river beach is good, moist and gentle, the land is rich in nutrients, and well maintained, this resource is more important than cattle!"

But now...

He stopped the car: "We're here! It's noon, let's eat first!"

Yan Ran touched her stomach in distress.

...

Niu Ben's pasture is more than 300 acres, the terrain is gentle and slightly sloping, and there are grasses and weeds mixed with seeds. Now the early autumn wind blows, causing the green to be deep and shallow, ups and downs.

The air is fresh with the wilderness, and there is a trace of cow dung that cannot be avoided.

There is no way. There are nearly 300 acres of grassland, 200 adult cows, more than 100 calves, and 300 in total. Even if people come to purchase frequently, they will soon be filled.

Even if he takes good care of it, it is difficult to make the air completely fresh.

But in general, it is still a quiet countryside.

There are only a few of them at the dinner table, and Niu Ben is not shy: "The workers are paid today, and my wife went over there."

"There are also workers?" Song Tan was curious: "How many people are needed to raise cattle?"

Niu Ben shook his head: "Raising cattle does not require many people, as long as we can ensure that no one destroys or steals."

"But, for such a large grassland, I said before that resources are more important than cattle, and this is not nonsense."

While pouring a glass of wine for Professor Song, he slowly explained: "For example, my grassland is a formally registered farm company with complete qualifications. It is quite troublesome to handle this. The project is too complicated. . "

"With the qualifications, the next step is to raise cattle. In spring, summer and autumn, all kinds of grass are spread randomly on the grassland, and the cattle can eat as much as they want. But if they are raised in this way, the air is good and the mood is good, how can the cattle not be good?"

"This is also one of the reasons why our cattle rarely get sick."

Speaking of this, Niu Ben quickly poured wine for Niu Jia: "Of course, Jia Jia feeds them disease prevention medicine every year, which is also indispensable!"

And the child in Niu Jia's arms heard the movement and clapped his hands and laughed: "Jia Jia! Jia Jia!"

Professor Song couldn't help laughing: "Well, what a good name."

Niu Jia looked numb.

Niu Ben clinked his glasses with the other two, and soon returned to the topic:

"Also, we are cattle farmers, but there is an old saying that you have to believe. That is, a fortune does not count as hairy."

"When raising cattle, you can't just look at making money, you have to be prepared for not making money - Boss Song, this may not sound good, but it is true."

In fact, it is true. If the livestock are not sick, it's fine. Once they get a serious infectious disease, it is likely that the whole year will be wasted.

It's the same as raising chickens and pigs.

Therefore, Niu Ben also has other ways to increase revenue:

"Every year, there is a fixed area on my pasture to grow high-yield forage grass, and there is a workshop to process and store it, which is used to prepare forage for the cattle to survive the winter."

This coincides with Professor Song's arrangement!

Song Tan looked at Professor Song, and it was hard to say that this was not Niu Ben's experience.

"In addition, there is another area where I planted other grass species. One is cat grass. You know cat grass, right? Wheat grass, barley grass, oat seedlings, and catnip. Processed into powder or cat grass granules, the market is hot!"

Huh? Pet market? Song Tan didn't expect this.

She was very excited.

Looking at Yan Ran again, she didn't even bother to eat (mainly because she hadn't digested her breakfast yet). She just sat aside and typed on her notebook, obviously obsessed with memorizing information.

Niu Ben had tried to persuade her again and again but to no avail, and now he was also proud: "There are also food for herbivorous pets such as rabbits and chinchillas, such as timothy grass, alfalfa, and fruit tree grass."

"This kind of pet, although not many people around you keep it, is actually very profitable."

If he didn't raise breed cattle here, he might have all kinds of cat food, dog food, and freeze-dried food.

Song Tan was amazed.

No wonder Professor Song insisted on bringing her here. These experiences are not said in person, who can say so much!

However, raising cattle on the river beach is different from his grassland here. There is one thing to pay attention to:

"You have to have a large fermentation tank next to it. Why? Because there is a lot of cow and sheep feces. It doesn't matter here. If you want to clean it up, you can clean it up. If you don't want to clean it up, you can fertilize the land. Anyway, the place is large and spacious enough, and it doesn't affect the fast decomposition."

"After all, there was no pasture before, and it was enough to raise dozens of heads in a hundred acres. It's different now. Now scientific breeding is more than enough for a hundred heads."

"How can you not clean up the feces of so many cows and sheep?"

"But it's different next to the river. Water vapor tide If the water is wet, the feces will not dry easily. In addition, when it rains, the feces will be slowly washed into the river. "

"When the river water is too rich, it will not only stink easily, but also be unpalatable for fish and cattle to drink."

"Make a fermentation tank, and ferment the cow and sheep manure separately. If you want to use it in your own fields, use it yourself, if you don't want to, sell it!"

He said frankly: "I tell you, there are too many city people who grow flowers and crops now. If the cow and sheep manure is fermented into granules, there are many people who buy it!"

"Look, raising a cow, we make money from more than just the cow!"

Update three, surprise!

Good afternoon, happy weekend, no more night.

I have read the information and asked the cattle farmers about raising cattle on the grassland, including the number. If you have other opinions, please feel free to discuss.

Let's brainstorm and build our home little by little!

The river beach is now large, but not large enough, but in the future, the family assets will be expanded step by step. Take it slowly.
