Chapter 276 The cow is sold cheaply (4000) Please vote for me
"Brother Cao, let me tell you first, the breeding of cows is not as simple as I thought." Cui Jingguo looked sincere.
He told Cao Shujie: "Under normal circumstances, a cow can only give birth to one calf per year, and multiple births are very rare."
"In addition, a cow will only give birth to seven or eight babies in its lifetime if it is well cared for."
"If you calculate carefully, if you really want to raise one, ten or eight cows are not too many." Cui Jingguo said very matter-of-factly.
This is something he has learned from many years of experience in raising cows, and most people won’t tell them.
Cao Shujie understood some information. He nodded and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, so you have to take your time."
"That's right, you should raise less at the beginning and gain experience first." Cui Jianguo looked at Cao Shujie's area and he was also envious.
If this place is well run, it will be a long-term treasure trove, and you don’t have to worry about not making money at all.
But having said that, Cao Shujie invested so much money in the first place, and many people were not optimistic that Cao Shujie could make money.
The development to this point is ultimately due to Cao Shujie's own efforts.
"Brother Cao, do you want a cow that is two or three years old, or a calf?" Cui Jingguo asked him.
Cui Jingguo is not afraid of losing Cao Shujie as a customer.
Ten cows, even if they are all in their prime year, will only give birth to ten babies in a year, and there will only be a dozen calves in the sky. However, Cao Shujie's place now has more than 180 cows, even if he raises more
100 heads can be raised freely.
What little he produces and sells is far behind.
Cao Shujie smiled and said: "Brother Cui, it would be best if you have a two or three-year-old cow!"
In this case, you can breed directly.
"Okay, I'll give you 10 cows later, but the price will be much higher," Cui Jingguo said.
Everything he does is selling money, and he also makes a profit, so why not do it.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Money is not an issue!"
Money is definitely not a problem here for Cao Shujie. In just a short time, his wife has weighed four people's strawberries, and her income has increased by several hundred yuan.
There are still few people buying thousands of strawberries at once, but there are too many people coming here today. The base number is there. If you add up, it will be difficult not to make money.
Even Cui Jingguo was envious when he saw Cao Shujie's speed of making money, which was almost a money grab.
Cui Jingguo's wife Zou Chun'e called to him: "Old Cui, let's go quickly. Let's go in and play for a while. Don't just delay Brother Cao's work."
"Come on, come on, what are you urging me for?" Cui Jingguo said, but he still walked towards his wife.
"Brother Cao, please be busy first. Let's talk later."
Cao Shujie also wanted to ask him about raising sika deer, but seeing Cui Jingguo already entering the orchard, he thought about asking him later.
Cui Jingguo took his family of four around the orchard, and went to the area where cattle were raised to take a look.
He was truly impressed when he saw 47 adult cows and 136 calves inside the wire fence.
Cui Jingguo is called the Ox King by the local people. He is very experienced. From the coat and physical condition of these cows, it can be seen that they are very healthy and growing very well.
"Brother Cao has really worked hard." Cui Jingguo muttered.
Zou Chun'e also knew a little bit. When she saw these cows, she said, "Old Cui, why do I feel that breeding calves is not as profitable as raising cows now?"
"Raising cattle saves trouble," Cui Jingguo said.
Especially since this year, with the steady rise in beef prices and the rise in pork prices, many farmers in the countryside have given up on raising pigs, and raising cattle has become a hot topic again.
Many people don't understand that raising a cow can earn more than 10,000 yuan, but they have never calculated how much money they have invested.
This confusing account has also attracted more villagers in the countryside who have nothing else to do to follow the trend of raising cattle. Since then, it has become a phenomenon that raising cattle is more profitable than breeding calves.
"How about we also raise cattle instead of cows." Zou Chun'e said this.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Jingguo turned around with wide eyes: "You say it again?"
At this time, Cui Jingguo's eyes looked a little fierce because they were too serious.
He said: "Have you ever thought that with so many cattle being raised now, the price of calves will rise!"
"And many cattle farmers may have the same idea as you, selling the cows to raise cattle. At that time, there will be fewer and fewer cows in the future. How much does a calf cost?"
Cui Jingguo looked at the calf inside the wire fence and said, "You are just short-sighted. You have never thought about the trouble of breeding cows. Why does Brother Cao have to buy cows?"
"Didn't he just buy eight or ten of them in total?" Zou Chun'e said.
Cui Jingguo was too lazy to break this point with his wife, but he still told her patiently: "Brother Cao is only buying ten or eight heads now. After he gets experience, do you believe he will buy more later?"
"Do you really think he is joking?" Cui Jingguo said, holding the plastic bag in his hand: "Not to mention anything else, these strawberries of ours cost three to four hundred yuan. Tell me, he is that stupid and short-sighted.
People?"
After Zou Chun'e heard what her husband said, she never mentioned selling the cow again.
Some things really happen without thinking about them, and they become clear after a little thought.
When I asked Cao Shujie to be weighed at the door, Cao Shujie said he didn't want to accept any money.
But Cui Jingguo still put the four pots of strawberries on the electronic scale, and they all weighed close to 13 kilograms. After he finished the calculation, he wanted to keep 450 yuan, but Cao Shujie only charged him 400 yuan in the end.
Shunzui asked him where he could get the sika deer.
"Brother Cao, do you still want to raise sika deer?" Cui Jingguo frowned.
He said: "Brother Cao, to be honest, I have also learned about the breeding of sika deer, but as far as I know, it is more troublesome to raise. If you don't pay attention, it will hit the wall by itself."
I don’t understand why Cao Shujie jumped on the sika deer now when he asked him about raising cows just now?
"Brother Cui, to tell you the truth, I promised my daughter to raise a few sika deer for her to watch and play with," Cao Shujie said.
Cui Jingguo really wouldn't believe it if someone else said that, but this person is Cao Shujie.
"I have a friend who keeps this thing. If you really need it, I'll ask you." Cui Jingguo said.
The breeding circle may be big or small, but some things are always related to each other.
Cao Shujie thought that it was right to find Cui Jingguo.
Cui Jingguo called a man named Ren Yukun.
After the call was made, Cui Jingguo asked him directly how to sell sika deer?
"Brother Cui, aren't you a professional cattle farmer? Why do you want to raise sika deer again?" Ren Yukun was quite curious.
Then Cui Jingguo said: "I didn't buy them, but a friend of mine wanted to buy some and keep them on the mountain for his daughter to watch."
Hearing what Cui Jingguo said, Ren Yukun was thinking about who his friend was. He bought the sika deer just to show his children.
Are you the kind of person who has enough money to do whatever he wants?
"Yukun, I'll give the phone number to my friend and you can talk to him," Cui Jingguo said.
"Okay!" Ren Yukun was quite curious.
Cui Jingguo introduced Cao Shujie to him on the phone, and then handed the phone to Cao Shujie: "Brother Cao, my brother Ren is a professional sika deer farmer with a relatively large scale. You can ask him about sika deer."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie nodded, took the phone, and started chatting with Ren Yukun.
The two chatted for five or six minutes. Cao Shujie originally didn't know much about the situation of sika deer, but through this phone call, he understood a lot.
Prices for sika deer vary depending on their age, male or female.
The price of good quality deer is at least 2,000 yuan per head.
Slightly larger male or female deer are more expensive, costing more than 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
Cao Shujie considered giving it to his daughter to watch and play with. He didn't think about how much profit he would get from the sika deer. He wanted a batch of young deer.
In this way, Ren Yukun suggested that he match the male and female, and there is no need to buy too much.
Cao Shujie left Ren Yukun's phone number and explained to him that after these two days, they would meet and chat.
Handing the phone to Cui Jingguo, Cao Shujie thought about how his daughter would be able to see the sika deer after he bought it. Mengmeng would be very happy, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Cui, thank you!" Cao Shujie expressed his sincere thanks.
Cui Jingguo waved his hand: "What's the matter? Brother Cao, how many more cows do you need?"
"One hundred calves and ten cows." Cao Shujie opened his mouth and said.
"Brother Cui, if you have a calf, just bring it over to me." Cao Shujie said.
He only raised 136 calves on the more than 100 acres of land in the north. In fact, there was still a lot of space that was not used properly. There would be no problem at all if he raised another 100 cows.
However, after all the cattle are sold, Cao Shujie plans to clear this area and raise sika deer here specifically.
This area alone has more than 30 acres of space, which is large enough.
As for how to distribute it later, let’s talk about it later.
In addition, Ren Yukun also told him something on the phone just now. Breeding sika deer requires a special breeding certificate. This is easy to do. Cao Shujie has someone.
Whether he is the top leader of the Pingyuan County Forestry Bureau or the Agriculture Bureau, he knows them all.
Even if we find the leader of the livestock industry through the two of them, there will be no problem.
Pingyuan County is neither big nor small. If you know a few such people, some things will no longer be a problem!
Cui Jingguo and his wife Zou Chun'e heard Cao Shujie say that he also wanted 100 calves and 10 cows. She thought about what her husband had just said, and she felt thoughtful.
As expected, I am indeed short-sighted.
Cui Jingguo mentioned something to Cao Shujie. The price of calves weighing less than 300 pounds has increased again, and the increase has been very large.
"How much is it?" Cao Shujie asked.
When he bought it at the beginning of the year, Cui Jingguo paid him less than 2,000.
Less than half a year later, Cui Jingguo quoted 3,300 yuan.
Cui Jingguo said that this was due to their long-term cooperation, and Cao Shujie bought a large amount of calves every time, otherwise he would not be able to buy them at this price.
"Sure, Brother Cui, let's pay this price." Cao Shujie agreed.
According to this price, if he buys 100 heads, he will get 330,000.
The price Cui Jingguo quoted for the cow was much more expensive than normal cows.
Cui Jingguo asked for 12,000 yuan for the two-year cow, and Cao Shujie agreed without saying a word.
After buying it, it won’t take long to breed!
This expenditure is another 120,000 yuan, all added up to 450,000 yuan.
Cao Shujie wondered how he could make money by selling strawberries for a day.
I sold all the remaining 47 adult cattle and made a steady profit.
This amount of money does not put any pressure on him at all, but if this amount is placed on an ordinary farmer, he cannot afford to invest it at all.
"Brother Cui, if you take the time to deliver the cow to me, I will pay you the original account number?" Cao Shujie asked.
Cui Jingguo said: "Don't worry about the money. Just wait until I deliver the cow to you and settle the payment with one piece."
"Okay!" Cao Shujie agreed readily.
Cui Jingguo and the others came down from the mountain, drove, and went to a farm restaurant in the north for lunch.
Seeing what was written on the small whiteboard at the back, 'Orchard Special Sauce Beef', Cui Jingguo ordered a plate, a bowl of beef soup for each member of the family of four.
He chewed slowly, tasted the beef carefully, drank beef soup, and even asked the waiter present where he bought the beef.
"This is the specialty beef of our Caojiazhuang. They are all cattle raised by Shujie on the mountain. You can see it when you go up. Most of them are fed with grain, pasture, and fruits. They use very little feed.
You can’t even eat it outside.”
Listening to what the waiter said, Cui Jingguo did not expose him. He knew that Cao Shujie had indeed put a lot of effort into raising cattle.
Eating chewy braised beef and drinking beef soup, Cui Jingguo really wanted to give Cao Shujie a thumbs up!
"Old Cui, is this really a calf raised by our family?" Zou Chun'e didn't believe it.
Their calves are of the ordinary cattle variety, but now the beef tastes much better.
Cui Jingguo ate a few more pieces of beef and said, "It shouldn't be too bad, but Brother Cao is willing to spend money and feeds it well."
"I have to tell him that beef of this quality cannot be sold cheaply," Cui Jingguo said.
But he didn't know that Cao Shujie had already sold three of them, and Wang Leigang had ordered three more from him, and they were going to take them away for slaughter tonight.
Fortunately, the price Wang Leigang gave was a few cents higher than the market price...
When Cao Shujie received a call from Cui Jingguo in the afternoon, he was also a little confused.
I never expected that the quality of the meat from the cattle I raised would be quite good.
According to Cui Jingguo, all six cows he sold were sold at low prices.
He couldn't say he didn't regret it. If he didn't sell the cow, he wouldn't know how good the quality of the meat was.
It's not too late to make amends now.
Cao Shujie thought for a while and decided to take the initiative to mention this matter to Wang Leigang in the evening.
In addition, Cao Shujie also wants to buy more types of beef in the market and compare it with the beef he raises to taste the difference.
Without trying it himself, Cao Shujie always felt that this matter was a bit too suspenseful.
But then again, the same rice feeds all kinds of people.
Even if the cattle are of the same breed, raised with different breeding methods and different ingredient standards, the quality of the meat will indeed be quite different.
"Am I doing this unintentionally?" Cao Shujie pondered.
