My Ranch

Yes, Jiang Hai and the others are not in Massachusetts now. Their current location is New Hampshire.

Speaking of this state, it is estimated that 99 out of 100 Chinese people do not know this state. Indeed, there is nothing to introduce about this state. It is a small state, the economy is not developed, and the population is Not much, no historical events or anything like that.

The main honor of this state is the New England region. The so-called New England region refers to the northeastern corner of the United States. It was originally a British colony and the birthplace of the United States, but the center there is Boston.

New Hampshire is really a state with no sense of existence. In 2011, the state's GP revenue was only US$63.5 billion, ranking 42nd among the 50 states in the United States.

This is indeed a very poor state, and its biggest source of income is the export of printers, copiers and the like.

In the local economy, animal husbandry accounts for the most important proportion.

To be precise, it is dairy farming, because this is also one of the largest dairy bases in the United States.

There are five types of cattle. Anyone who knows something about cattle knows that the chromosomes of these cattle are different.

Ordinary cattle, yak, bison, buffalo and cattle, domesticated cattle are also divided into four types: dairy breeds, meat breeds, dual-purpose breeds, and draft breeds. Among them, the most famous draft breeds are the Chinese buffalo and cattle.

Why China could become the most powerful country in the world before the development of machine civilization was firstly because of its large number of people and intelligence, and secondly because of cattle. Compared with European cattle, Chinese cattle are more tolerant of roughness. Feeding is more durable, it can dry more and eat less, and the food grown is naturally guaranteed.

At that time, cattle were important tools, not for eating. European cattle were more suitable for eating rather than working. It was precisely because of this that China was so strong back then.

But later, machines are now working, and the cattle used for labor have almost no use. The cattle are now used more for eating. In this way, the cattle that can work are useless and very worthless. It is also one of the reasons for the elimination of draft cattle.

This bull market in New Hampshire is the largest bull market in New England.

Jiang Hai had only heard of it before, but he had never been here before. Now that he walked in, he really felt like his eyes were opened.

In the past, when he didn't understand cows, he felt that all cows were similar, just divided into big cows, calves, bulls, cows, etc. But now as soon as he walked in, he found that he was really big. vision.

In fact, he has not yet gone to see the cattle markets in Texas and Montana. Only after going there did he know what it means to have a wide variety of cattle.

This New Hampshire cattle market is divided into three areas, the dairy area, the beef area and the dual-purpose area. Jiang Hai first walked into the dairy area. Currently, dairy cows are more popular than beef cattle in the world because the consumption of milk is huge.

You don’t have to eat beef cows, but you have to eat milk no matter which country you come from. It’s a civilian route, so you don’t have to worry about natural sales. It’s like China. China itself has a lot of dairy cows, but the milk it produces is completely Not enough for domestic consumption.

At many domestic milk manufacturers, everyone knows how much milk is in the dairy products they produce.

But this thing is for calcium supplementation and is within the control of the state. The price cannot be raised. In addition, in China, it is mostly raised by small households. Compared with the big countries in Europe and the United States, it is really far behind.

There was a time when people in China were quite disgusted with France. I think it was because the French said that they would rather throw away the extra milk than give it to the Chinese people who were in the milk crisis. There was also the 2008 Olympics, so it was But to be honest, in Europe, there are almost no countries that like China. After all, they are all Westerners who wear a pair of pants.

Among the countries that hate China the most, the first one recommended by many people who like the history of World War II is Germany. Yes, Germany is the country that hates China the most after the United States and Japan, followed by Spain, which has countless fans of La Liga. This is also a country that hates China. Secondly, Britain and Poland are countries that are no worse than France. Well, some of them are far away.

In the dairy area, there are mainly four types of dairy cows. Among them, the only one Jiang Hai knows is Holstein cows, which are Dutch cows.

In addition, there are three types of cattle produced in Britain, namely Erxia cattle, Juanshan cattle and Gengsai cattle.

When these cows gather together, the air is really filled with the fragrance of milk in addition to the smell of cows.

The smell of milk and cow shit mixed together makes people feel, well, a little disgusting.

Jiang Hai's cows are mostly used for meat, so he doesn't need any cows to produce milk. The milk produced by his cows is enough for the people in their manor to drink, so they quickly left the area.

After passing the dairy area, there is the beef cattle area. Once here, Jiang Haiti knows what it means to be rare and strange.

Looking at the cattle here, there are dozens of types. Some Jiang Hai knows, some Jiang Hai does not know, and Robbins Garcia is beside him, introducing Jiang Hai one by one, including Hayford cattle and shorthorn cattle. , Angus cattle, Charolais cattle, Limousin cattle, Piedmont cattle, Chianina cattle, Lincoln Red cattle, Hornless Red cattle, Grove cattle, Debon cattle, Murray Gray cattle

In addition to these ancient breeds, there are many other breeds of cattle that were hybridized by modern humans using another type of cattle, Zebu and Ordinary cattle, such as Brahman cattle, Brahfort cattle, Brahgas cattle, and St. Hutt cattle. Ludis cattle, King Beef Cattle, Bunsmara cattle, Bifaro cattle, etc., and the so-called Zebu is a kind of cattle specially used in the tropics.

There are zebu cattle in tropical areas of Africa, Asia, and some places in South America. This kind of cattle has a huge tumor on the back of its neck, which looks very strange. Jiang Hai is very concerned about a seed called The beef king's cow.

This kind of cattle is quite popular here, and many people will buy this kind of cattle, because this kind of cattle should be regarded as a breed of cattle that has just been cultivated recently. It is resistant to rough feeding, rarely gets sick, and grows long. Fast advantage.

Currently, there are many large-scale cattle farms in Texas and Montana that specialize in supermarkets, and they all raise this kind of cattle.

From birth to fifteen months old, this kind of cattle can grow one ton a year, except for the three-month calf period, and the slaughter rate is quite high. In supermarkets, more than 50% of them are basically Commercial grade beef comes from this type of cattle.

But this kind of cattle has a fatal flaw, that is, it does not grow good meat, so Jiang Hai just gave up after looking at it.

The last area sells dual-purpose varieties, which can be eaten as beef cattle or raised as dairy cows.

The main breeds include dual-purpose shorthorn cattle, Simmental cattle, Swiss brown cattle, Danish red cattle, Angler cattle, Hindy red cattle, Sahihua cattle, etc., but these have nothing to do with Jiang Hai, and he is not prepared to buy them. Combined use type.

What he mainly focused on was beef cattle. There were a lot of beef cattle to choose from here. After Jiang Hai came here, he directly selected 20,000 Angus cattle. After booking the place, the cattle economy here will naturally The cow was delivered on time.

Unless they don't want to make money anymore, and looking at Robbins Garcia, they know that these people don't dare to fool Jiang Hai with bad cows.

After selecting the 20,000 Angus cattle, Jiang Hai was ready to take a look at other cattle. In fact, Jiang Hai was quite interested in Chiannina cattle.

But when Jiang Hai asked about this cow, he gave up. This cow is the largest breed of beef cattle and can grow up to 1,780 kilograms.

But first, this kind of cattle is a draft breed. At the beginning, it was the same as the Belgian blue cattle. It looked good-looking, but it could not produce marbled meat. This was the most important thing, so Jiang Hai thought about it.

So he gave up the largest beef cattle and chose a more stable one. He first bought 5,000 shorthorn cattle. The milk fat rate of this kind of cattle is 3.9, which is a little low, but the slaughter rate is extremely high, 6572. Much taller than ordinary beef cattle, adult cattle can grow to weigh one ton. In addition to shorthorn cattle, Jiang Hai also bought some other cattle, such as Charolais cattle and Limousin cattle. They also bought five thousand bulls, a total of thirty-five thousand bulls, plus the ten thousand bulls in the manor, making up forty-five thousand bulls. Of course, there are three thousand bulls among them that will be killed this winter. dropped.

There are also some calves that will grow up and then be killed. Although it is a bit cruel, this is the reality, isn't it?

You're really quick to buy cattle. You just bought it after just looking at it. Seeing Jiang Hai in front of him write the check quickly, Prawalton here couldn't help but asked with some doubts. After all, she She works in this industry, so she has never bought cattle, but she still knows about it. According to the experts there, you have to look carefully when buying cattle.

However, Jiang Hai and her are not on the same path. Jiang Hai doesn't need to look particularly carefully when buying cattle.

Because he was very confident in his aura and his ranch, he just took a look at the sample cattle and made sure there were no major problems before he placed the order. The inspection after delivery was naturally much stricter, at least It is impossible for a cow with defects to pass through the eyes of those cowboys, so he is quite happy to buy the cow.

Really, I thought you were going to buy the cow for a long time, so I asked for a week's leave. Seeing Jiang Hai happily buying the cow, Prawalton curled his lips. It has only been two days. You can't go back to work now. After all, she hasn't had enough fun. Looking at her look, Jiang Hai can't help but understand what she means.

He smiled and hugged her waist, kissing her lightly on the mouth.

That doesn't mean that you can spend five days with me when you are away from home. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Prawalton couldn't help but smile. This guy is really getting better and better at talking.

But at this moment, Jiang Hai and Prawalton's phones rang almost at the same time. The two had to separate and answered the phone respectively. However, although the people who answered the phone were different, and the callers were also different, at the beginning The first words he said were the same: Dufarmen's beef cattle are ready for slaughter. To be continued.
