Chapter 1776

Song Tan didn't ask what Wu Lei thought. After another truck of corn was loaded, she also went to the feed factory in the suburbs.

People hadn't arrived yet, and Wu Lei's call came back so quickly:

"Tantan, I've thought about it. Didn't you say it would rain for a month or two? Then I'll take two months of grass feed first."

"I'll transfer the money to your card."

It's also strange, is her cousin so nimble in making decisions now? Could it be that Uncle and Aunt have become smart?

Song Tan was a bit surprised, but not so surprised, and now she said nimbly:

"Then okay, when I go back this afternoon, I'll pull these feeds to you first."

Her cousin wanting two months of silage is actually a bit much, but this kind of thing needs fermentation time, and it won't spoil for the time being, so it's right to prepare in advance.

Anyway, the cattle eat dry feed and fine feed in the early stage, and they won't be hungry.

It's just that he is so refreshing, it doesn't look like Uncle and Aunt's style.

Doing business, thinking about saving costs is not wrong.

For example, Uncle and Aunt are the most conservative. Before, if Wu Lei hadn't raised cattle and developed feelings, and insisted on feeding the cattle better grass feed, they wouldn't have bought from Song Tan.

That grass feed is good, but it can't be 1500 a ton! As for the ordinary ones on the market that are 480?

That's even worse.

The couple would rather go out to rake grass every day.

Of course, they stopped after working for a while.

It's really that there is a lot of wasteland, and there are many wild grasses, but the wild grasses brought back have everything, and they have to be sorted for a while every time, for fear that the cattle will eat poisonous grass.

Raising one or two cattle like this, just extract some time to do it every day.

But at that time, there were more than ten cattle, and the couple couldn't take care of their own vegetable plots. Every day is cutting grass, picking grass, cleaning up grass...

After finishing and being free, they have to take the opportunity to collect more to make silage, and their eyes are full of various green grasses, and they really can't do it.

Finally gritted their teeth and prepared to make silage, they also learned, this thing is actually not high in technical content—

Grass feed is suitable, the machine is suitable, and you can do it at home.

In order to save money, they also pondered doing it themselves.

Collected grass and took it to others to crush, held large plastic bags to press, seemingly simple and successful and didn't need any capital.

As a result, after a month, it was opened, because the water content was high and the sealing was not enough, most of it was black, rotten, and stinking...

A busy work in vain.

There were also a few bags that didn't succeed because they were dried for too long and the moisture loss was too high.

Finally, a few bags with faint sour fragrance were successful, and they hurriedly fed them to the cattle.

Ate for two months, the cattle didn't grow fat.

After consulting the experts again, they said that this wild grass silage has no ratio, the nutrition is not enough, and the protein content is low.

The cattle just eat this, just like people just drink porridge, can they grow up?

Well! The couple was because of a small family, small business, didn't dare to be greedy, so they tried every way to save money, and as a result, they delayed for several months.

In this way, the couple learned a painful lesson and decided not to mix in the child's business.

How to put it, I didn't look at the son's handling of things before, and felt that he was a bit not painful about money.

Now looking at it, it is precisely he who cannot keep up with the times.

But Song Tan can understand them.

The young children of their generation basically haven't done anything in the field, but she still remembers the appearance of her parents transplanting rice, cutting rice, chopping wood, and splitting firewood.

That is really hot summer and cold winter, countless blood and sweat.

Only when earning money is hard, will they be frugal in spending money; only those who have really tasted the bitter days will be reluctant to spend every bit in life.

And at this time, Zhai Dafeng Feed Factory arrived.

Zhai Dafeng Feed Factory is called atmospheric, in fact, the scale is not large.

The boss himself raised less than 100 cattle, and they were all raised in pens.

This kind of pen raising will limit the activities of the cattle, and they will wait for food in a small range every day except eating, and they will grow meat quickly, and they will be released in batches when they are released.

Relatively speaking, the breeding method is also stable, which is a breeding model widely used in China now.

Of course, this breeding model, if you want the cattle to grow well, the ratio of rough feed to fine feed is also very important, and silage is indispensable.

Therefore, after calculating the cost, the boss built such a factory himself.

Whether it is silage or dry grass feed, doing it yourself is always more cost-saving—after all, it is the land in the town, renting it is not worth much money, and the cost of this feed machine is also limited.

Can also take some small business from outside, killing two birds with one stone.

After all, buying finished products from others, how can it not be hundreds of yuan per ton?

It's different to produce it yourself, how much money does it cost to collect pasture for one mu?

In short, after seeing Song Tan, he was polite for two sentences, and then asked:

"I didn't talk in detail on the phone yesterday, you are a young girl, and you raise cattle yourself? That's not easy, right?"

In fact, he suspected that this girl was just arranged by the family to watch the feed, and would not raise it.

Look at people who look so beautiful, and their skin is white and tender, this doesn't look like raising cattle at all? A little bit of work in the field is not this appearance.

And Song Tan pondered for a while, and also seriously thought about the difficulties of raising cattle—the difficulties are treating diseases, breeding, midwifery, slaughtering...

But she didn't do any of them, they were all Chen Xi and Chen Chi brothers.

Therefore said: "It's okay."

"It's okay, what's okay?"

The feed factory boss had an expression of I understand—just said this girl wouldn't raise it!

He is a serious cattle raiser, and he also earned a little bit. His own house was newly built, but the whole family still lived in the simple cement house of this cattle farm.

Staring when it rains, staring in the heat, just afraid of any mistakes.

In this hot weather, the cattle shed not only needs fans, but also cooling and heatstroke prevention measures!

Worrying!

The bitterness and labor inside, that is really only those who have done it know.

But he also understands young people, so he changed the topic again:

"How big is our family scale?"

Song Tan thought about it, said: "There should be more than 200 cattle, big and small, right?"

She didn't care about the river beach, but Chen Xi and Chen Chi took good care of it, and every three or five days, she had to kill one for Boss Chang, so the number of big and small cattle was not so precise.

Listening to the eyes of Zhai Dafeng boss, it was confirmed that she didn't understand.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, this number is here!

More than 200?

The boss was shocked:

"Then you, your scale is not small."

His expression became solemn, "What kind of cattle do you raise? How are they matched? Do you secondary refine your rough materials? It's painful to sell when the market was low last year, right?"

The grass feed of cattle should be mixed with rough grass feed and fine feed, but fine feed is delicious. If you don't crush the rough feed a bit more, the cattle will pick fine feed to eat, and if it takes a long time, they won't grow well.

The boss ate a lesson for a year before knowing this, and now he hurriedly inquired—

All are breeders, don't engage in any cherishing of one's own broom, everyone doesn't delay anyone.

They have a group specifically for breeders.

Just this problem of eating grass feed, it was also introduced by other breeders to him to see the experts, and then the problem was discovered.

As for the price...

They do this kind of animal husbandry, cattle release price is calculated by the price of the whole cattle.

Higher is eleven or twelve yuan a catty, cheaper is seven or eight yuan or even lower.

Now that there is such a large-scale breeder here, the boss also wants to contact—breeders are afraid of cattle disease, and even more afraid of the market going low!

Once the market goes low, and the cattle are ready to be released, it is really pinching the nose and swallowing the bitterness.

As for not releasing the cattle?

This kind of pen-raised cattle will not grow anymore after reaching a certain weight in the short term. But they eat a lot, and raising them at home, the grass feed consumed every day is the cost.

It also affects the next batch of cattle.

The trouble, those who haven't raised it don't know at all.

More friends, more roads, if they can introduce more later, 5 cents more per catty, that is also more!

The boss's expression was serious, the workers were nimble in unloading, Song Tan took the mineral water handed by the other party, thought about it, and answered seriously:

"Our family has several varieties, local yellow cattle are raised more, and there are Simmental hybrids, and this year there are a few more Angus, saying that this meat is good."

The boss pondered for a while, this is different from his own. His family will slightly tend to Charolais cattle, this cattle is released quickly.

And Simmental local hybrid cattle, Limousin local hybrid...

He was still pondering why they all raised cattle that novices love to raise, and heard Song Tan still answering the next question—

"Breeding is invited experts to contact good sources, come back and artificially breed, expensive, but good."

This kind of large-scale animal husbandry, if not artificially bred, then it has to travel long distances, which is very unfavorable to the growth of cattle.

And artificial breeding has been very mature in the country since the 60s and 70s of the last century, so now it is the mainstream.

With the source of Professor Song's check, it is expensive, but the calf born is really strong.

Then she followed the next sentence:

"Eating rough materials must be fine-processed. Our family's cattle are picky, and there are special experts to guide them. Cattle eat things as balanced as possible. Silage, dry feed, fine feed, and nutrients, these are all matched and eaten."

Cattle are rumen, and silage is acidic. Although it is delicious for animals, it is too single.

Eating for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be stomach acid, diarrhea, or calcium and phosphorus imbalance and other problems.

In short, breeding also has great knowledge, and you can't be careless at all.

And the boss paused, and digested these answers one by one. In his heart, he changed his view of this white and beautiful girl—

Young, although not the material for work, but obviously very attentive to the family's affairs. Look, this is well-founded.

Speaking is also sincere.

What a thoughtful answer!

Thinking this way, his enthusiasm became two points hotter.

This habit of answering questions one by one is purely because Qiaoqiao and Lu Chuan are this habit, and they are influenced by them, and Song Tan also learned it.

As for the last question about last year's market...

Song Tan couldn't help it: "Our family's cattle have fixed partners, the price generally doesn't fluctuate much, and it's on the high side."

As soon as this was said, the boss was jealous and his heart was sour.

Fixed partners? And the price is on the high side?

Their fixed partners, which time is the price not desperately suppressed? How can the gap be so big?

"How high is the price?"

If there is a reference, he will also raise the price next time.

Song Tan was silent.

Zhai Dafeng boss looked, and hurriedly sighed again:

"You don't know, the market has been very poor in the past two years. I have raised cattle for a year, my heart is broken, and the capital has been invested. Finally, when it is released, sometimes it is dangerous to lose money!"

Doing this breeding, trembling, but let him do something else, this has been invested, and he is reluctant to change careers.

Besides, it is better to do familiar things than to do unfamiliar things!

Based on the above, the other party's speech is also very sincere: "Girl, you already have fixed partners, proving that your family's beef quality is good, then those who watch quality, I can only be considered medium, and I can't compete with you, right?"

"You have any price, say it out and give me a reference. I'll give you another 20% off! Oh right, I have a breeding group here, I'll pull you in later!"

Oh, the breeding group can be there.

Song Tan hurriedly pushed Chen Xi's WeChat over:

"This is the contact information of the person in charge of our pasture—as for the price, Uncle, there is really no reference, we are not on the same track."

Did she refuse?

Breeding boss sighed a bit, but didn't intend to force it—doing business, keeping two points of bottom line for yourself is also right.

Who knows, the other party opened his mouth and spat out a number: "200."

Zhai Dafeng boss didn't react at first.

200 what 200? Why is it suddenly 200?

After a while, he turned his head and stared at Song Tan: "You you you... your family's beef sells for this price? Net price?"

The so-called net price is the weight after beef slaughtering and removing miscellaneous items—but even so, 200 is too exaggerated!

In this day and age, only large companies acquiring imported beef have such prices!

Song Tan shook her head: "Gross weight."

The boss was dizzy.

Gross weight 200?!

He sold it for 9 yuan gross weight last year, you sell for 200?! How is this possible?!

Like in this breeding group, the best breeder, raising black Angus cattle, the best market this year, the release price is 17 yuan a catty!

17 vs 200, it is 10 times not enough, is this reasonable?

The boss breathed heavily twice, looked at Song Tan again, suddenly calmed down, and then hummed.

He just said this girl wouldn't raise cattle! Look at this nonsense, almost sprayed his blood pressure up.

He thought the other party was an honest person, and he gave 20% off for nothing!

Song Tan helpless:... She knew that people wouldn't believe it if she said it!

But this feed processing didn't have much money, and the boss promised to give another 20% off with a full forehead of sweat in the hot day, so there was no need for her to hide it.

After all, she is not afraid of competition.

However, the result of telling the truth is—

Zhai Dafeng boss was angry, pushed open the factory door, only to see the crusher puffing out a large amount of crushed slag, and a unique smell of corn stalk crushing lingered in the air.

He sniffed, suddenly looked at Song Tan again, his expression complex:

"Your family's corn grows quite well. It's just why are all the corn cobs snapped off? If they were left to be crushed together, the nutrition would be more comprehensive."

Although comprehensive is also limited.

But that immature corn cob, originally it couldn't be used for anything.

?? Regarding cattle raising, cattle prices, grass feed, etc., come from the special agricultural column of CCTV two years ago, watched on TV, so I don't remember the more detailed program name.
