Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 148

He took another look outside at the cowshed that was about to start building, then took his mobile phone and came to the yard.

"Next, I plan to live broadcast and build a cowshed to give the newly bought calves a home."

A site for building a cowshed, with a group of materials placed beside it.

"These are concrete lime, and some composite materials, which are used to build cowsheds. The calves are placed aside, and everyone can take a look at it later."

Zhuang Qiu said, building up the composite materials at hand one by one, and mixing all the lime mud and so on.

"When building, it should be divided into two aisles, one is the clean way and the other is the dirty way."

"The reason why two aisles are designed separately is also to prevent cross-infection, but because there are only four calves raised, the scale is not very large, so this cowshed is only small-scale."

The audience began to laugh and praise one by one.

"Master Zhuang, why do you know everything? This cowshed is not easy to build. Can you do it alone?"

"Indeed, before my grandmother in my hometown wanted to build a cowshed, she had to find a regular construction team to help build it. Building a cowshed is not an easy task. Master Zhuang, you have to be careful and pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, everyone," Zhuang Qiu bent the composite materials and bamboo sticks in his hands, and put them on the top of the cowshed: "I know this well, there are only four calves, it won't take too long, it's just one calf. Simple cowshed, no big trouble."

Seeing the initial shape of the bullpen in front of them, everyone finally understood why Zhuang Qiu said that.

It's all because the half-built cowshed in front of Zhuang Qiu's eyes can be said to be like a simple thatched hut, which can shelter from wind and rain, and it is enough to put the calf in for feeding.

"I'm talking about Lord Zhuang," the barrage from Huayue Tower floated over, "If you're a cowshed, you can just be a cowshed. Why did you divide this cowshed into two parts?"

"Could it be that every cowshed needs to be separated by gender? Isn't it good for male and female to be kept together? If they have to be separated, how do you let those young bulls relieve the pain of lovesickness?"

As soon as Huayuelou's question was raised, many water friends also discovered this, and followed closely behind, laughing and teasing.

"That's right, there are only four calves in a cowshed, so it's enough to just put them in. Why are they separated into two parts?"

"It's okay to relieve the pain of lovesickness. A wall in the middle directly separates the male and female. I guess those little bulls must be very sad!"

"Perhaps Mr. Hua is right. Master Zhuang plans to feed them separately, right?"

Looking at the barrage of constant speculation, Zhuang Qiu smiled.

Huayuelou, as a child of a rich family who doesn't stick to the spring water, how can he know the knowledge of raising cattle?
Moreover, these water friends are probably used to staying in the city all the time, and they don't know much about raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the countryside.

"Everyone is only half right. I really want to feed the calves separately, but it's not because of the male and female."

"Just because the four calves I raised in captivity are of different breeds, the calves of different breeds still have to be separated and fed according to scientific methods."

"Cow is divided into beef cattle and dairy cattle. As the name suggests, it is what we eat. This kind of beef is delicious, with meat all over the body, especially suitable for serving on the table."

"The other kind is cows. Cows are used to produce milk. The milk sold in our major markets comes from cows. When cows can continue to produce milk, no one will be stupid enough to give cows to Kill, that's the difference between the two."

"So the purpose of separating the cowsheds is to raise them separately. Although this will be a bit troublesome, it will not go wrong."

After some explanations, everyone in the bullet screen expressed their understanding.

"So that's it. It seems that there is still a certain amount of attention to raising cattle. If it weren't for Master Zhuang's popular science, I really wouldn't know about it."

"Having said that, I still want to ask Master Zhuang, apart from the differences between the breeds, which need to be fed separately, if they really want to be fed together, what will go wrong?"

"Same question, apart from the difference between species, there seems to be no other difference, right?"

Zhuang Qiu smiled and explained patiently: "Because the breeds are different, the feed that needs to be fed is also different. Generally speaking, the precision of the feed that dairy cows need to feed is higher than that of beef cattle, because dairy cows need to gain weight, There is also a need to increase the quality of milk produced."

"Beef cattle only need to gain weight to increase the tenderness of the meat. If the feed is mixed, it will also affect the two types of calves, affecting the taste of beef and beef and the quality of milk. is one of the reasons for the need for separate feeding."

"The other most important thing is to prevent two different breeds of cattle from interbreeding, which is very unfavorable for the offspring of purebred cattle."

This explanation directly opened up a new world of Huayuelou.

"It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to in raising cattle. I thought raising cattle was just feeding them directly in the cowshed. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

Huayuelou joked, "I never thought you, Master Zhuang, would be so particular about raising a cow. You really deserve to be my brother!"

Facing Huayuelou's ridicule, Zhuang Qiu just shook his head and smiled.

"Our Master Zhuang is omnipotent and knows everything. If Master Zhuang hadn't talked to me about science today, I really didn't know that raising a cow would be so complicated."

"Suddenly want to see what Zhuang Ye's cattle look like. Such a calf must be very cute!"

"In the past, I only saw those big cows that grew up in the countryside. They looked majestic. The calves must be very cute. Master Zhuang let us have a look!"

"Same request!"

Hua Yuelou was even more interested and asked, "Master Zhuang, you said you want to raise calves, but what kind of calves are you raising?"

Zhuang Qiu replied casually: "The breed of cattle is not bad, two Angus cattle and two Jersey cattle."

As soon as these words came out, the water friends in the live broadcast room were slightly taken aback, confused.

"Angus cattle, Jersey cattle, what kind of cattle is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Does any water friend in the live broadcast room know what breed of cow this is? Ask for science!"

"Anyway, in my knowledge, cows only have two functions of being able to eat and produce milk. As for the breed, I haven't really studied it. The name sounds weird. Can any water friend explain it? "

"I've heard of these two types of cattle, but it's said that these two breeds are indeed relatively rare and of high quality. I haven't heard much about them other than that."
