The Dorper Sheep Breeding Farm has more complete facilities.
Each breeding farm has a breeding shed, a breeding shed, a physical examination area...
The same Lamborghini crono tractor is used in the breeding shed. A complete tractor costs US$70,000...
The white front end and black tires look quite domineering.
There was a car parked at the door. Bai Xiaoou saw it and sat on it directly: "Workers under big wealthy people are so comfortable."
Chen Mo shrugged: "It's okay."
If you walk around the entire breeding base, it will take you several hours.
Jennifer only thought that this place was so big, and each breeding area. If you didn't know better, you would have thought it was a high-standard ranch.
"Mo, where are the milk-producing sheep?" Jennifer asked.
"Milk-producing sheep are raised separately in the sheep dairy farm." The dairy sheep farm passed...
To maintain the healthiest condition, a Dorper sheep can produce milk for four to five months every year, then stop breastfeeding and rest for one or two months to continue pregnancy...
The dairy sheep farm is still under construction. Only the first phase of the project has been completed, and hundreds of milk-producing Dorper sheep have been raised. If it is fully constructed according to the plan, 5,000 milk-producing ewes and 1,500 milk-producing cows can be raised. Of course not
It will be constructed in one go and divided into periods according to actual needs...
"It looks very big here." Bai Xiaoou looked at the breeding farms still under construction in the lower reaches of the valley: "The breeding farms here should be larger than the cattle farms. Each one is almost a hundred acres. How many will be built here?"
"The plan is to build 21," Bright said.
"A breeding farm has 800 sheep, 21...16,800 sheep? Breeding sheep..." Bai Xiaoou opened his mouth. He knew about Dorper sheep. Under good feeding and management conditions, Dorper sheep
The lambing rate of sheep can reach 150%.
At this scale, the annual output is 20,000 lambs?
"The land in the breeding area also needs to be cultivated. 21 breeding farms should be built, and at least one third should be reserved for backup. Although it is a sheep breeding farm, there is no problem in raising cattle in confinement." Chen Mo explained.
"I just said... go and see the dairy farm." Bai Xiaoou was not going to visit the breeding farm anymore. What he saw now was far beyond his expectations.
The facilities at the breeding farm were better than all the pastures he had seen, especially the pastures left at the breeding farm, which should be artificially planted alfalfa and were growing well.
The breeding farm is not a grazing land, and the pastures here are not always grazed. They are mainly artificially fed with feed (forage, cereals, beans, etc.).
The entire breeding base covers more than 3,000 acres, and there were not many people seen along the way. It was like no one was watching the breeding farm they came to...
"Don't these sheep need someone to look after them?" Father Chen looked around but saw no workers. Including the cattle breeding farm they just visited, there were no workers in several places.
"At this time, everyone should be busy with other things." Chen Mo said.
If every venue requires people to watch it 24 hours a day, the manpower required will be too much. But there are people patrolling 24 hours a day...
When the ranch gets on the right track and has a regular income, it may be possible to hire a group of cheaper workers, but not now.
The dairy farm is built on the other side of the valley, near the biogas digesters.
This requires the most manpower, and it also requires someone 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 odor.
"What is this?" Jennifer took a piece of squeezed alfalfa round cake from the feed truck. The green round cake was as big as a palm, and alfalfa grass and large rye grass could be seen...
"It is our own proportion of hay feed, which contains various trace elements needed during the milk production period." Chen Mo said.
Brett continued to explain some more.
Dairy sheep are raised on a combination of briquette hay, hay, silage and fresh grass.
The goat dairy farm has been operating normally for a long time, producing more than a thousand pounds of goat milk every day. Except for the people on the farm to drink it themselves, most of it is fed to Bright cattle, which is very wasteful.
Seeing the goat dairy farm, Jennifer was even more determined to open a fresh milk shop. She didn't know much about doing anything. Being with Bai Xiaoou and being idle every day was very boring. She wanted to find something to do to pass the time...
Beef cattle farms and mutton farms are both built in the mountainous areas to the west of the Terai Valley.
After leaving the goat dairy farm, we went to the western mountains of the river valley to see the farms.
The beef cattle farm occupies the best valley terrain. Now it is just a moon valley, and there is not a single cow in it.
The mutton farms are sorted out on the rolling hills and slightly flatter land to build small but numerous breeding farms.
In feedlots in mountainous areas, each Dorper sheep has at least 1 acre of activity area. The largest breeds 500 Dorper sheep, and the smallest breeds a hundred...
There are several breeding farms on large slopes. Looking at the rolling hills getting farther and farther away, they are all green hills and grassland...
"It's really good. Wait until John and Michael come over next month, show them, and tell these guys that they have taken advantage of it." Bai Xiaoou said, took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "It's getting late, I still have
I have to go back to the company."
"Okay." Chen Mo didn't persuade him to stay and drove back to the villa.
Bai Xiaoou and Jennifer said goodbye and left.
Father Chen lit a cigarette and said, "This ranch feels bigger than the Snow Mountain Ranch. How much investment does it take?"
There are many pastures in the snow mountains.
It's just that this side is in a mountainous area, so it feels like the valley pasture is bigger.
"The investment is not much." Chen Mo smiled: "High investment leads to high returns. Dad, did you catch any fish at noon?"
"I caught more than a dozen, including 5 bass, which should weigh more than ten kilograms. I didn't ask for other small fish... and there was a big squid, more than one meter long." Dad Chen laughed and said, he caught the big squid.
Yes, but let the third uncle and Zhang Guohua pull him up together: "Isn't the big pouty mouth delicious?"
"The seabass tastes better. I've never tasted it before..." Chen Mo said.
The reservoir is only a dozen acres. If it is full, it should be twenty acres...The fish in it are quite big, including bass, croakers, etc.
The fish has very high requirements for water quality. In rivers and lakes where the fish grows, the fish in them can basically be eaten.
Chen Mo went over and brought the fish back. The seabass was steamed and braised in soy sauce...
Looking at the head of the fish, Chen Mo couldn't help but think of a famous dish, looking up at the stars. The fish head inside looked like this...
Chen Chen came back when the sun was almost setting.
Chen Mo said something about Chen Xiao coming back to help temporarily. Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's okay, you can hang out with me from now on, and I will take you to eat and drink."
Chen Xiao pouted: "Who are you messing around with? I will sit in the office when I come back... Humph, do you think that the eldest brother is willing to let my beautiful sister like me go out and show her face?"
"I'm willing to give it up." Chen Mo's eyes widened and he said with a smile.
Everyone was talking and laughing at dinner.
After dinner, Chen Chen took Zhang Xia upstairs to clean up, and moved to the farmer's house overnight...
