Chapter 531 519. White Yak Delivered (55)

In the afternoon, a convoy of animal husbandry vehicles drove forward, all of which were large-scale tractors with two-section trailers. Seen from the side, it seemed like a train was coming.

The livestock trailer commonly used in New Zealand has a length of 19.5 meters and a width of 3.8 meters. It cannot be pulled by a tractor that is not powerful.

Each trailer has three floors, upper, middle and lower, and different types of cages are used to transport different livestock. Now, yaks are transported and cattle cages are used.

White yaks are very strong. Adult bulls are 121 centimeters tall and weigh 260 kilograms; adult cows are 108 centimeters and 190 kilograms respectively. They have long white hairs all over their bodies and strong muscles under the hairs.

However, compared with Limousin and Simmental, its size and weight are not enough. The former two are beasts that can easily exceed one ton, especially the bulls among Limousin cattle, which are more than one and a half tons. Not uncommon.

Therefore, in the transport vehicle, there are three to four cows squeezed into each cage. The cages are very short, and the yaks lie in it, with simple and honest expressions, but when they open and close, their eyes reveal rage!

Wang Bo understands very well, who is stuffed in a cage without moving for ten hours and still remains calm? Yaks are simple and honest, but they are not without temper.

You know, the rabbit kicks the eagle when it is anxious, and the Buddha jumps over the wall when it is anxious. These yaks probably hate Leonard who stuffed them into the cage.

The car drove along the New Zealand Road to the pasture. After stopping, Leonard walked down with a smile on his face, hugged Wang Bo and said, "Look, what did I bring you?"

Lao Wang was very grateful for the yaks he brought, but the posture he brought was too weird: "Is this cruelty to animals? Can it be transported like this?"

New Zealand is so comprehensive in terms of animal protection that it should not be allowed to transport yaks in a fixed position for more than ten hours.

Leonard shrugged and said, "I didn't abuse them. It takes more than twelve hours for a cow to be in a fixed position. There are absolutely no twelve hours now. Alright buddy, where are you going to put them?"

Wang Bo and the cowboys had already cleared a piece of pasture, he pointed, and then motioned for the truck to drive over.

Leonard wiped his forehead and said, "Are you sure you raised them here? Maybe I have to introduce you again. These white yaks come from the northwest region of your country. The place where they usually live is at an average altitude of 3,000 meters. Above, the climate is cold and the temperature changes drastically. I estimate that the annual average temperature is around minus 1 degrees Celsius to minus 3 degrees Celsius..."

After listening to his introduction, Wang Bo said: "I know, I know, they are best living in alpine grasslands, in areas with dense pastures, abundant water sources, strong sunshine but not hot, right?"

Leonard laughed loudly: "Yes, that's it. In short, I think your ranch is not qualified."

Wang Bo shrugged. He also knew that yaks lived on alpine grasslands, but where did he have alpine grasslands? But he has mountains here, but they haven't been developed yet.

Pointing to the mountain peak behind the territory, he expressed his vision: "The temperature will drop in autumn soon, so it should be no problem for them to live here temporarily. In the spring of next year, I will open up a pastoral area on the mountain, where there is snow all the year round. The temperature must be below zero degrees Celsius, how about it?"

Leonard looked at the white snow on the Southern Alps with his hands shaded, and then nodded: "This is a good idea, a good idea, but I said buddy, can they climb mountains and mountains?"

The answer is unquestionable. Yaks are the most hard-working cattle in nature. After long-term domestication and training, they have super cold resistance and hunger resistance. They are good at walking dangerous roads and swamps, and can avoid traps. Choose your way.

Wang Bo shrugged and said no problem. What he was actually worried about was how could these yaks go to the mountains to live after they felt the heart of the ranch?

What he has to worry about now is the survival of the white yaks. In order to transport them, ice is constantly added to the roads of these transport vehicles to cool them down, and then they are delivered.

The average temperature in New Zealand in autumn is 20 degrees Celsius, which is too high for white yaks!

Wang Bo is counting on the heart of the pasture, which has already reached the third level. He believes that some strain changes can be made to the white yaks so that they can adapt to the climate here.

If you really can’t get used to it, that’s okay, there is a lake next to it, let the white yaks learn from buffaloes and soak in the water.

The iron cage was opened, and white yaks were released.

The coat of these white yaks is pure white, dense and thick, just because of the dirt and dirt in their lives, their hair has turned light yellow or even brown, which looks a bit ugly.

After shaving off the dirty fur, the white yak gave Wang Bo the impression that it was strong! Very strong!

The heads of these yaks are rough and strong, with big eyes, and some have thick and long horns, which protrude outward and upward or backward and upward in a crescent shape, with obvious horn wheels and sharp horn tips.

Standing on the ground, they subconsciously shook their heads, and a group of Boer goats who were watching in the distance immediately turned and fled. The scimitar-like horns put a lot of pressure on them.

In addition to the horns, the body of the yak also has a great deterrent effect. The forequarters of the bull are well developed, with a broad and deep chest, and a high raised carapace. The hindquarters are weaker than the forequarters, with stubby, strong limbs.

In this way, looking at the white yak, it is easy to think of those bodybuilders: muscular, exaggerated upper body lines, soft lower body lines, and the overall feeling of explosiveness.

After standing on the grass, they didn't bother to eat grass and drink water, and started to run with small steps on all fours. There were two cars behind them transporting yak calves. It took a while to stand up.

But after slowing down, these calves began to show terrifying vitality, running around with hooves!

The adult cows calmed down after venting their energy. They first went to the lake to drink some water, and then began to eat.

The lips of yaks are much rounder and thinner than that of Simmental cattle and other specially bred beef cattle, so that they can eat food more flexibly.

In addition, although it looks honest, the athletic ability of yaks is many times stronger than that of other cattle. Limousin cattle and Simmental cattle are simply incomparable with them.

The herd of white cattle was moving in the pasture, they were looking for the best habitat, so they moved very fast, setting off a gust of smoke in the pasture.

Leonard handed Wang Bo a book on yak breeding, and there were many CDs in it. He said that it was a masterpiece of Chinese yak breeding experts, and it could help him quickly fatten yaks. After all, this thing is now specially used for carnivore.
