American Ranch

Chapter 122 Chapter 120: Overview of the Ranch
The Dorper sheep breeding farm has more complete facilities.

Each breeding farm has breeding sheds, breeding sheds, physical examination areas...

A unified Lamborghini Crono tractor is used in the breeding shed, a tractor with a complete configuration of $[-]...

White front, black tires, looks quite domineering.

There was a car parked at the door, and Bai Xiaoou sat on it immediately after seeing it: "Under the big local tyrant, the workers are so comfortable."

Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay."

If you walk around the entire breeding base, it takes several hours to walk around.

Jennifer only thinks that this place is so big. If you don't know each breeding area, you may think it is a high-standard ranch.

"Mo, where are the milk-producing sheep?" Jennifer said.

"The milk-producing sheep are reared individually, in the dairy farm." The dairy farm walks by...

To keep a Dorper sheep in the healthiest state, it can have four or five months of milk production every year, and then stop milking and rest for a month or two to continue to conceive...

The dairy farm is still under construction, and only the first phase of the project has been completed, raising hundreds of Dorper sheep for milk production.If it is fully constructed according to the plan, 5000 milk-producing ewes and 1500 milk-producing cows can be raised in captivity.Of course, it will not be built at one time, and the construction will be divided according to actual needs...

"It looks very big here." Bai Xiaoou looked towards the breeding farm that was still under construction in the lower reaches of the river valley: "The breeding farm here should be bigger than the cattle farm, one is about a hundred acres, how many will be built here?"

"The plan is to build 21," Bright said.

"A farm has 800 sheep, 21... 150 sheep? Breeding sheep..." Bai Xiaoou opened his mouth. He knows Dorper sheep. Under good breeding and management conditions, Dorper The lambing rate of sheep can reach [-]%.

With this scale, an annual output of [-] lambs?

"The land in the breeding area also needs to be repaired. 21 breeding farms will be built, and at least one-third will be reserved for use. Although it is a breeding farm for sheep, there is no problem with raising cattle in captivity." Chen Mo explained.

"I'll just say... Go and see the dairy farm." Bai Xiaoou didn't plan to visit the breeding farm, and what he saw now far exceeded his expectations.

The facilities of the breeding farm are better than all the pastures he has seen, especially the pastures left by the breeding farm. These should be artificially planted alfalfa grasses, which are growing gratifyingly.

Breeding farms are not grazing lands, and the pastures here will not always be grazing. They are mainly fed artificially (grass, grains, beans, etc.).

The entire breeding base is more than 3000 acres, and there are not many people to see along the way, as if no one is watching the breeding ground they came here...

"Don't these sheep need people to watch?" Father Chen looked around, but he didn't see the workers.Including their cattle breeding farm just now, there are several fields where no workers were seen.

"At this time, they should be busy with other things." Chen Mo said.

If each site needs to be watched 24 hours a day, the manpower required will be too great.But someone patrols 24 hours a day...

When the ranch is on the right track and has a fixed income, maybe another batch of cheap workers will be hired, but not now.

The dairy farm is built on the other side of the valley, near the biogas digesters.

The most manpower is needed here, and it is also required to be on duty 24 hours a day...

The factory is still clean and tidy, the ventilation facilities are very good, and there is no particularly obvious peculiar smell.

"What is this?" Jennifer took a squeezed alfalfa round cake from the feed truck. The green round cake was as big as a palm, and alfalfa grass and big rye grass could be seen...

"It's our own hay feed, which contains various trace elements needed for milk production." Chen Mo said.

Bright went on to explain some more.

Dairy sheep are raised on a mix of briquetted hay, hay, silage and fresh grass.

The goat milk farm has long been operating normally, producing more than 1000 pounds of goat milk every day. Except for the people in the pasture who drink it themselves, most of it is fed to Brett cattle, which is very wasteful.

Seeing the goat dairy farm, Jennifer was even more determined to open a fresh milk shop. She didn't have many things to do. With Bai Xiaoou, it was very boring to be idle every day. Find something to do to pass the time...

Both the beef cattle farm and the meat sheep farm are built in the mountainous area west of the Derai River Valley.

Come out from the sheep dairy farm, and then go to the mountainous area west of the valley to see the farm.

The beef cattle farm occupies the best valley terrain, and now there is only a moon valley, and there is not a single cow in it.

The mutton farm is on the rolling hills... The slightly flatter land is sorted out to build small but many breeding farms.

In the farms in the mountains, each Dorper sheep has at least 1 acre of activity area.The most is 500 Dorper sheep, and the least is a hundred...

There are several farms on a large slope, and the rolling hills that are getting farther and shorter as far as the eye can see are all green hills and grasslands...

"It's not bad. Wait for John Mike and the others to come over next month, show them, and tell these guys that they have taken advantage of it." Bai Xiaoou took out his phone and looked at it: "It's getting late, I'm still waiting for you." I have to go back to the company."

"Okay." Chen Mo didn't hold him back, and drove back to the villa.

Bai Xiaoou and Jennifer bid farewell and left.

Father Chen lit a cigarette: "This ranch feels bigger than the Snow Mountain Ranch. How much investment is required?"

Most of the snow mountain ranch.

It's just that this side is in a mountainous area, and it feels like the river valley ranch is bigger.

"It's not much investment." Chen Mo smiled: "High investment means high return. Dad, did you catch any fish at noon?"

"I caught more than a dozen of them, including 5 perch, which should be more than ten catties. I don't want other small fish... There is also a big cocked mouth, more than one meter long." Chen's father laughed, and the big cocked mouth was what he caught. Yes, but the third uncle and Zhang Guohua pulled him up together: "Is the big mouth delicious?"

"Bass is more delicious. I have never eaten it before..." Chen Mo said.

The reservoir is only a dozen acres.If the water level is full, it should be [-] acres...the fish in it are quite large, including bass, pike and so on.

The squid has very high requirements on water quality, and the fish in the rivers and lakes where the squid grows are basically edible.

Chen Mo went over and brought back the fish. The sea bass was steamed and braised in soy sauce...

Looking at the head of the squid, Chen Mo couldn't help thinking of a famous dish, looking up at the starry sky.The fish head inside looks almost like this...

Chen Chen came back when the sun was about to set.

Chen Mo talked about Chen Xiao coming back to help temporarily, Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled and said: "That's fine, you will hang out with me in the future, and I will take you to eat and drink spicy food."

Chen Xiao pouted: "Who is messing with you? I will also sit in the office when I come back...Hmph, do you think that elder brother is willing to let my beautiful little sister go out to show her face?"

"I'm willing." Chen Mo rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

Everyone talked and laughed at dinner.

After eating, Chen Chen took Zhang Xia upstairs to clean up, and moved to the farmer's house overnight...
