Chapter 95 Rocky Mountain Oysters

It has been more than half a month since the order was placed.

Wagyu calves shipped from Tennessee finally arrived on Lanai.

A total of 160 black Wagyu cattle, priced at US$65 a head, were shipped this time, and the total cost was about US$[-] after including shipping costs and other expenses.

Because a cargo ship was specially hired, it was still an urgent order.

In addition to hiring a few trucks to transport the calves from Tennessee to the port, the additional cost is a little bit more.

On average, for each cow, the cost of sea transportation is almost three hundred dollars, which is worth the purchase cost of half a Simmental calf.

Calculating the expenses, it is no wonder that tens of millions of dollars need to be set aside to expand the scale of Wagyu breeding, and the cost of follow-up feeding is also relatively expensive.

Su Rui learned the news in advance and drove to the cargo terminal.

He chatted with the old cowboy Andy and others, and when he asked about the feeding of cattle and sheep, he saw a cargo ship slowly approaching. It seemed that it had only been in the water for a few years, and the appearance was still very new.

The boat just stopped.

A blond young man ran off the boat in a hurry, and when he was waving hello with a smile on his face, his face suddenly changed, and he vomited wildly while holding the bollard.

Hear the sound.

Su Rui reflexively gagged and patted his chest to recover.

A sailor disembarked after him, and wrapped the thick rope around the bollard. It was no big deal to watch the excitement, and joked:
"It doesn't matter. Clint vomited when he got on the boat. He didn't expect to vomit when he got off the boat. Some people get used to the boat shaking left and right at sea, but when they land on land, they will not adapt and start to feel dizzy."

Old Andy obviously knew the guy named Clint, walked over to pat him on the back, and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work! Don't rush to vomit, how about the cows on the boat?"

The boy was powerless to wave his hand, and replied:
"The cows are all right, but one of them was flatulent on the way, and I quickly solved it. If I had known that I would be seasick, I would not have come here even if I was killed. In fact, I wanted to get off the boat in Mexico, but I felt a little bit at a loss. I couldn't lie down in vain. for several days."

Old Andy helped the son of this friend's family and fought for a job opportunity from Su Rui. After listening to it, he immediately signaled Kelin to talk nonsense with his eyes, and reminded:
"Your future new boss is here, shut up now."

Clint turned his head to look at Suri, was supported by old Andy to stand up, walked over and introduced himself and said, "Clint Moda, nice to meet you, I like your song."

Under Su Rui's staff, there was just a shortage of cowboys who were good at raising cattle and sheep.

The local employees hired from Lanai are all laymen, and they can only follow the old Andy's arrangement, and they don't know what to do without the old man.

Say hello to Clint.

The sailors on the ship laid the planks, and Little Rock and the others were busy driving the calf off the ship.

Different from the calves last time, this batch of calves are all black-haired, and they are basically about the same size, like some copy-pasted products.

Su Rui asked curiously, "Could it be that they were all born at the same time? How many bulls should there be to gather so many calves with similar months?"

Old Andy helped explain:
"This is because artificial insemination is used to implant embryos in cows in just a few days, resulting in their births at about the same time. Because the origin of Japan restricts the export of breeding cattle, whether it is the United States or Australia, New Zealand Wagyu , Breeding is more troublesome, in order to avoid inbreeding, they cannot be used as breeding cattle, and they will be castrated when they are three months old."

The cows were more than four months old and had just been weaned before being sent.

Just as the herd of cattle passed by, Su Rui squatted down to check.

Good guy.

There are more than 160 cows, and not even a single egg can be found.

The whip is mainly collagen, which is almost the same for beauty and beauty. The real supplement is the cow's egg, which is the natural gas station for men.

Don't think that Americans don't eat this stuff.

Every year in July and August, some areas with developed agriculture and animal husbandry in the western United States hold a rally. Among them, the most popular food is fried beef eggs. Because the official name is difficult to say, they even gave it an alias, called "Fried Beef". Kishan Oysters".

I feel a little pity in my heart.

But Su Rui didn't say anything, so as not to be misunderstood by others, he just said:

"It's no wonder that you can't buy enough calves even if you spend money in Australia, so you have to make special reservations in advance. Next time, remember to reserve a good purchase channel, so as not to waste time by guarding the pasture without supply of goods."

Clint calmed down a little bit, and knew some knowledge in this area, and reminded:

"Don't worry, exports are banned on the surface. As long as you pay enough price, you can still buy goods from Japan. The number of Wagyu cattle is increasing every year, especially in Australia. If you only rely on the breed cattle that were exported in the past, now Wagyu cattle in the United States and Australia have long been extinct."

Old Andy nodded:

"Yes, breeding Wagyu cattle is particularly profitable. I heard that many Japanese herdsmen took advantage of the dark to avoid being discovered by others, and helped the cattle with their own hands. They easily earned tens of thousands of dollars in one night. The so-called embargo is fundamentally If we can’t stop them, the production of Wagyu calves should increase in the future, because we haven’t found a stable supplier for the first year of breeding, so it’s a little troublesome.”

heard.

Suri had a strange expression.

I finally understand why you can buy pure blood Wagyu in the United States.

Affected by old Andy's words, a picture of hot eyes appeared in his head, and he quickly thought of something else to divert his attention.

Since everyone knows that breeding Wagyu makes money, smugglers will inevitably appear under heavy rewards. As the bloodlines of overseas Wagyu gradually enrich, the number of Wagyu globally will of course continue to increase.

With the increasingly advanced artificial insemination technology, a high-quality male bull is likely to give birth to tens of thousands of offspring. This is also the reason why bulls need to be castrated to avoid inbreeding.

After knowing where they came from, Su Rui completely gave up the idea of ​​cultivating them by himself. On the one hand, he didn't have the technology, and on the other hand, he didn't have access.

If in the name of Lanai Ranch, go to Japan to buy tadpoles of bulls at a high price.

In case the matter is revealed, it will be made public by others.

But I'm afraid that until the nails are put on the coffin, someone will dig out the old account and laugh at him, Suri. It's better to spend more money to buy ready-made calves from other breeding ranches.

After the wagyu calves were driven off the ship, old Andy asked people to register and check them one by one, and counted the quantity.

The captain of the cargo ship came to say hello to Suri. Apart from hoping to settle the final payment of the freight as soon as possible, he also wanted to borrow some water to clean the cabin. Next, he would go to Oregon to transport some timber to the Bahamas.

It took some time to get the calves settled.

They have been isolated on the boat for more than ten days, and they are directly driven to the pasture to rest.

Suri didn't care anymore.

Back in the hotel suite, talk to Daddario on the phone about his idea for The Walking Dead TV series.

She also asked her to hurry up and go to the gym to build some muscles, learn how to use bows and crossbows, axes and other tools, and joked that sexy beauties cut zombies at the end of the day, which is easy to impress people.

Daddario, who was a little bit resistant to the theme of zombies, became obedient immediately when he heard this.

Tell Su Rui on the phone that today I went shopping with my roommate Blake Lively and bought some suspenders.
