Chapter 289

end of May.

At Mushan Ranch, the Wagyu herd gave birth to its first Wagyu calf.

After Chen Mo learned the news, he drove his car and took his family over to see the calf early the next morning.

The black calf is cute and adorable.

Chen Ye pointed at the calf and kept shouting: "Niu Niu, Niu Niu..."

Lin Ling looked at Chen Ye in Chen Mo's arms and said to Chen Mo: "Keep this cow up, don't sell it."

"It must be raised. This is the first calf born in our ranch, so it is of commemorative value." Chen Mo said and looked at Wang Xing: "Bull or cow?"

"The bull." Wang Xing said, "You can keep it as a breeding bull."

Chen Mo said 'hmm', there are 800 cows here, all of them are pregnant.The calving period of a cow is about 280 days, and some calves will be born one after another in the later period.These calves, if they are cows, will stay.

The bulls will not be castrated, so they will be kept and raised, and some male bulls will be selected.

The reason why male bulls are expensive is that you have to choose from many bulls.Uncastrated bulls are more troublesome to raise.Therefore, a good breeding cow can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

On the hills of Mushan Ranch, fences surround the hillsides and hills. Because the number of mutton sheep is relatively small, there are a lot of pastures on the mountains that are as tall as one person.But on the hillside, it is impossible to drive a harvester to harvest...

The sweet elephant grass in the valley grew faster than expected. It was good for two months after planting, which was about fifty days. In the old sweet elephant grass planting area, the sweet elephant grass in the old sweet elephant grass planting area was more than one person tall.It's almost about two meters.

If used for silage, it is almost ready to be harvested.

After seeing the wagyu coming out, Chen Mo took a photo of sweet elephant grass and sent a message to the group: "Sweet elephant grass is almost ready to be harvested. Is there anyone in the group who wants to harvest sweet elephant grass?"

"How much is the yield per acre?"

"Higher than rye. About 1 ton, or more than a ton." Chen Mo said.

Sweet elephant grass grows densely. If you harvest hay, it will definitely yield 1 ton per acre.

"Will we still plant ryegrass in the future?" Cheng Tang asked again.

"No more planting." Chen Mo said.

"Or 800 yuan per ton?" Zhang Cheng popped up and asked.

"The factory's drying equipment has been prepared, and the drying equipment costs 1300 yuan per ton. It is guaranteed that the dried grass leaves will be green...green hay." Chen Mo said.

The previous ryegrass sold for 800 yuan per ton, which was a friendly price, and it was naturally dried grass. It is humid in Sichuan, and the condition of naturally dried grass is usually not particularly good.

The dried grass usually turns yellow. Only strong sunlight and good timing can produce green hay.

Selling dry forage is not cost-effective, but selling silage for their farm equipment is the most cost-effective.

The moisture content of silage is sixty to seventy percent.

The moisture content of pasture when freshly cut is 70 to 80%.

The moisture content for safe storage is 25% for loose hay, 20-22% for baled hay, 18-20% for chopped hay, and 16-17% for briquetted hay.

How much grass is needed to produce 1 ton of hay is easy to calculate.

"Reserve it when you need it in the future. The dry grass here is enough for now." Cheng Tang said.

"Row."

"Same here, there's enough dry grass." Zhang Cheng said.

"In addition to green hay, we also sell dry sour hay blocks here." Chen Mo, sitting in the passenger seat, took a photo of the feed factory and said: "Dry sour hay blocks are made from fermented silage after being dried and pressed. Block. The sour grass block can also be pressed with corn flour, premix, soda and other additives as required."

"How much does 1 ton of dried sour grass cost?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"1100 yuan." Chen Mo said.

"What's the price after adding corn flour, etc.?" Zhang Cheng said. "According to the calculation of additives, there is a processing fee of 100 yuan per ton of feed." Chen Mo said.

"The processing fee of 100 yuan... is not bad. Can the prepared feed be used as fattening feed?" Cheng Tang.

"No problem. We have tried it here and the effect is quite good." Chen Mo said.

"Where are you?" Zhang Cheng asked, "I'll go over and take a look at your fattening."

"Mushan Ranch, over here in the office, come and take a look." Chen Mo pressed the voice button and sent the message.

Zhang Weimin was also in the group, posted a message, and then typed: "Boss Chen, please be free today."

"available."

"If you have time, I will take a few bosses to visit your ranch later." Zhang Weimin said: "They are planning to invest in a breeding farm, mainly raising sheep."

"Okay, come here, I'm in the ranch."

"Large ranch?"

"Correct."

There is a big ranch and a small ranch.

It has been almost a year since the investment in Mushan Ranch.

This year, Mushan Ranch is completely on track.At the beginning of the construction of the large ranch, when it was decided to build a feed factory, Zhou Hao started experimenting with cattle and sheep feed.

In fact, it is not an experiment. There are many feed formulas for cattle and sheep.Zhou Hao formulated the most cost-effective feed according to the actual situation in Mushan County.

These feeds are mainly concentrated feed for cattle and sheep in pens.

The recent price of corn in Sichuan is 3030 yuan per ton, which is still the ex-warehouse price.These buyers pay for the shipping costs themselves...

Corn is expensive, and now the cost of raising pigs, cattle and sheep is high.

When pork was cheap before, it cost twelve or three yuan per catty.If you go to a big supermarket, the price is less than ten yuan.

Now, the price of pork in the wet market has risen to about 15 yuan.

The price rise is not just caused by the rise in corn and soybean prices, there are many factors involved.But no matter what, the price of meat has gone up.

Cattle and sheep prices are generally very problematic.Because of the increase in imports from abroad.And except for those high-end beef... the price of imported beef and mutton sold in large domestic supermarkets is much cheaper than that of locally raised cattle and sheep in small places.

It is a fact that prices of corn, soybeans, etc. have risen, and breeding costs have increased.

Engaging in breeding requires not only breeding skills, but also careful budgeting.In farming, if you want to make money, you must be able to calculate, especially as the scale increases, careful budgeting is the most important thing.

As long as the cost is controlled, or the cost is lower than other farms, then it will be considered invincible.

No matter how the price of meat increases or decreases... there will always be breeding companies that can make money, right?

Chen Mo went to the office.

Lin Ling took Chen Ye around and said, "My son and I are going back first, and I will take their car back later."

"Okay." Chen Mo said.

After watching Lin Ling drive away, Chen Mo went to Zhou Hao's office.

Zhou Hao was calculating the expenses of the ranch. When he saw Chen Mo come in, he quickly stood up: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Mo sighed, and then asked about the specific parameters of the homemade feed.
