Chapter 702 687. Follow the boss to learn (35)

This auction really opened Lao Wang's eyes.

The livestock auction I participated in last time was relatively official on the whole, with hosts, white gloves, and various livestock products.

This time, I host my own auction. There are ranchers, cowboys, parents and children, etc., from the elderly in their 70s and 80s to children in their 70s and 80s.

The reason why children appeared in the auction was because some children raised a few lambs and brought them to the auction. They said that the last breeding season was not profitable for the family ranch, and he wanted to sell the lambs to buy lambs for his father. raise money.

Lao Wang was very moved when he saw it, he specially took a picture and kept it for the little girl to see, look, what kind of enlightenment is this? The gap between the two children is too big, the children of other people's families are just different from their own bear children.

He took photos of several lambs, but he didn't know the exact number. In the end, he paid 8,000 yuan to get the lambs. The audience applauded him, and the people around him shook hands to congratulate him.

This kind of auction is relatively amateur, but Wang Bo thinks it is better than the auction organized by the government.

The amateur he said is the host’s amateur. In fact, the on-site facilities are very professional. The small auditorium covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. There are auction venues, livestock sheds and breeding pens inside, because the rancher or cowboy himself is in charge of auctioning the sheep. So be more informed and answer your questions.

The first auction lasted four hours, and by the end everyone was hungry and rumbling.

Wang Bo thought it was almost over, but Thomas smiled and said to him: "This is just the beginning. Don't underestimate this kind of country auction, the scale is not small."

Beginning in the afternoon, more sheep came to the scene. There were hundreds of agricultural vehicles parked in the parking lot outside the auditorium, which was particularly spectacular.

When Wang Bo and Thomas came back after having lunch together, they saw that there were more mobile breeding fences in the backyard of the small auditorium, and there were various sheep and alpacas in them.

Seeing his surprise, Thomas smiled and said, "It's nothing surprising. Alpacas are also used as sheep in pastures. Are you interested? I remember that the last time you participated in the auction, it was just for alpacas, right? "

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I was interested last time, so forget it this time."

There was a queue at the entrance behind the auditorium, a girl was registering in front of the computer, and there was an old-fashioned cowboy next to her to check the information to ensure that the information was correct.

Thomas saw that Wang Bo was unfamiliar with this kind of auction, so he introduced it to him: "According to your Chinese language, these sheep are already famous and famous before the auction. What kind of sheep do you need and what price do you need? It's all ready now."

It is not only sheep that will be auctioned, but also sheep raising equipment and pasture.

The shooting in the afternoon should be more formal in the morning. In the morning, it is a family file. In the afternoon, everyone will return to practical application and start to take the road of capitalism.

Two girls were distributing brochures, which were very rough, and it was obvious that they were made on the spur of the moment, because there was a printer under the auction table that was pumping out paper.

The auction was a bit chaotic in the morning, but the situation improved a lot in the afternoon, and the auction items appeared in order.

Wang Bo looked at it, and proceeded in the order of fattening sheep, weeding out ewes, growing ewes, weeding out rams, breeding rams, lambs and disabled sheep.

The auction was held on the spot like a horse watching flowers, and sheep were constantly dared to enter the breeding pen, and then quickly rushed to the field, and the owner followed the field to bid.

Because most of these ranchers know each other in private, and they know how the sheep behave in advance, so there is no need to falsify in the auction, just say what you want.

Thomas asked: "What can you tell from the current auction?"

Wang Bo observed carefully, and said: "Well, the number of fattening sheep participating in the auction is the most, and the number of breeding rams is the least, which shows that the sheep breeding industry is still very popular in the local area, and everyone has no intention of selling the breeding sheep and quitting."

"Then what?"

Wang Bo said: "If there is another thing, the price of forage this year is relatively high, which exceeds the psychological price of ranchers, and the profit margin is too low. Everyone should reduce the number of fattening sheep and reduce investment to avoid difficulties."

"Is there any more?"

Wang Bo thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "It's gone, what else is there?"

Thomas smiled and said, "You see a lot. I didn't expect you, as the mayor, to pay so much attention to animal husbandry. But you don't see enough."

"For example, there are many and messy sheep breeds in the auction, and there are great differences between individuals in the group. This shows that the local sheep breeding industry is still in its infancy, and everyone has not reached a consensus on which sheep are better to breed."

Wang Bo was stunned. He didn't see this because he was inexperienced, and he used Chinese thinking to consider this issue.

In the eyes of the Chinese, eggs cannot be put in one basket, and farming is the same. Try to raise as many varieties as possible. If the market prospect of a certain variety is not good, there are other options.

New Zealanders don’t think so. A mature market is a unified market. Everyone breeds the same species, so the matching of breeding, treatment, pasture equipment and breeding tools will be higher.

"Kurau is a traditional farming and animal husbandry area, but the large-scale sheep farming has recently emerged, because the locals are mainly British and French descendants, who like to eat beef but not mutton. This time, a sheep auction is specially organized, and there are ranchers running in with each other. significance."

Thomas smiled and said: "You may think this is meaningless, but if I were a black-hearted rancher and I hoped to have fewer competitors, then at such an auction, I could find someone to bid high prices for some low-quality sheep breeds. Guess, if What will happen if I do this?"

Wang Bo sighed: "People will think that these low-quality sheep breeds are the most popular, and then swarm to make mistakes in breeding."

"right."

Wang Bo listened to the price, fattened sheep are usually sold out in the weight of 50 pounds to 80 pounds, and the price is between 150 and 250 yuan.

Compared with the sheep produced in the Sunset Ranch, this price is almost the price of the Mariana Trench, but Thomas said that the price is 15% higher than last year, which shows how cheap ordinary New Zealand mutton is.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for Thomas’ introduction, Wang Bo would never have imagined that the sheep farming industry is not very popular here in Kulau, because New Zealand’s sheep are almost the business card of this country’s animal husbandry.

New Zealand has a well-developed animal husbandry industry, which is the economic foundation of the country. The output value of animal husbandry accounts for 80% of the total agricultural output value, and the population engaged in animal husbandry also accounts for 80% of the agricultural population. The export volume of mutton and dairy products ranks first in the world. , the export volume of wool is the second in the world, and the output of rough wool accounts for 40% of the world's total output!

He checked the reason on the Internet and found that the Kulau sheep industry is indeed underdeveloped. The main breeding here is cattle, deer, chickens and ducks. The reason for not raising sheep before is that there are too many sheep in New Zealand. The locals think that the sheep industry is profitable. The space is too small.
