American Ranch

Chapter 30 Looking for a door-to-door business 【Please recommend, bookmark】

"Hey Boss, where are you?"

"Our ranch has guests, you have to come back." Camerby called with excitement in his tone.

"What guest?"

"Mr. Ellison, he has personally come to our Snow Mountain Ranch. He is the most famous senior meat intermediary in Montana. He is visiting our ranch. You'd better come back when you have time."

"OK."

Ellison, Chen Mo only knows Oracle's Ellison.Ellison in Montana, Chen Mo didn't know...

Speaking of Ellison, Chen Mo, as a rancher in Montana, should have known.He is the founder of the Timothy restaurant chain. Timothy restaurant is considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant with more than a dozen branches, and it is not a very famous restaurant.In addition, Ellison has a company that specializes in supplying high-quality meat...

Everyone knows that regardless of whether beef or mutton is sold to slaughterhouses, the price is very cheap, and some are even less than one-third of the market price.The price directly provided to the restaurant can be much higher. If it is provided to the top restaurant, it will be directly profitable.

Top restaurants have their own set of purchase channels, and they are very picky and demanding in the selection of meat quality. At least one must be organic.

The poor in the United States don't pay much attention to the choice of food, while the rich, whether they are pursuing taste or their own health problems, prefer organic green food.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo returned directly to the Snow Mountain Ranch, and it was almost noon when he returned to the Ranch.The Ellison that Canlby said was a middle-aged white man with a wide body and a fat body, about 1.8 meters tall, and he felt very oppressive standing in front of him.

A group of them are eating at Canlby's house, frying lamb chops...

"Boss, this is Mr. Ellison." Canby stood up and introduced, "This is my boss, Mr. Chen Mo."

"Hello, Mr. Chen Mo." Ellison stood up, smiling, and looked at Chen Mo.

"Hello."

Ellison smiled: "I heard that Xueshan Ranch has produced high-grade Dorper sheep. Come and have a look. By the way... talk about cooperation."

"How to cooperate?" Chen Ou said.

"I have a procurement company that specializes in supplying ingredients for high-end restaurants, and I hope to obtain the exclusive agency rights for Dorper sheep in the Snow Mountain Ranch. Of course, we have to further confirm the quality of the pasture lamb. At the same time, I am more interested in Farm chicken raised in the pasture, but the price is too expensive." Ellison is engaged in the catering industry, and he heard about the restaurant "Tangxia Yipin" in Billings before it opened, and he knows the signature dish of the restaurant, and asked someone to inquire about it by the way After visiting this restaurant, I also tasted ginseng chicken soup by myself.

"It's impossible to be a sole agent. I have my own restaurant, and I have signed a procurement contract with the restaurant."

"How about a priority supply contract?"

"At most priority supply contracts of the same level as Tangxia Yipin Restaurant."

"no problem."

Good things are easy to sell, no matter where they are.

Especially the pastoral chickens raised in the Snow Mountain Ranch, these two chicken breeds are very rare in the United States, and they are free-range.Even if you get it at the farmer's market, you can sell it at a good price.This is too troublesome for Snow Mountain Ranch because of the location of the ranch.

Ellison took out a business card: "This is Helena's Conrad Slaughterhouse. I need a batch of high-grade lamb and high-quality beef here. I have seen the evaluation report of the Dorper sheep you slaughtered before, and the lamb of the same grade , Our price is $9 per pound. If it’s lamb, it’s $13 per pound... Beef’s grading and price have USDA’s evaluation grade standards, and we can also offer a higher price than the slaughterhouse.”

"The last is the garden chicken, the black garden chicken, we offer 25 dollars a kilogram. The colorful garden chicken is 27 dollars a kilogram."

The customary unit in the United States is the 'pound', which costs US$25 a kilogram and US$11.3 a pound, which is about the same price as the rare chicken sold in supermarkets with an organic label.

There are two or three hundred native chickens that can be sold in the ranch, and I have not been able to find a big market...

Chen Mo thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Ellison held out his hand: "Happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

"My company is in Helena, farm chickens, send a hundred to my company tomorrow."

"I was talking about live chicken prices."

Ellison frowned, his offer was a slaughtered chicken...

"Okay, the price of live chickens." Let's start with a hundred chickens and see the market's reaction before thinking about the future contract. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and he is just a middleman: "Come over to sign the contract tomorrow?"

"OK."

"By the way, send a few more Dorper sheep over to be slaughtered. We have to issue an appraisal report and send it to the guests for inspection."

"no problem."

Ellison shook hands with Chen Mo again, said goodbye and left.

He came to the ranch after [-] o'clock in the morning to see the farming methods and feed of the ranch.They are all pure natural feed, and the soybeans and corn used are all expensive non-GMO products, which is also a good selling point.

The rich have high requirements for food. In addition to supplying high-end restaurants with ingredients, they also provide vegetables and meat to some wealthy community stores.

The price of organic vegetables is more expensive than beef sold in supermarkets.And the price of organic beef is more expensive...

To be able to sell at a high price is not only organic, but the appearance must also be very good.For example, organic beef, it is very difficult to have an excellent grade...

Excellent Prime beef, the intermuscular fat content is 8%-11%, and the fat is very good. About less than 2% of the beef can get this rating. Most of them are provided to high-end steakhouses and restaurants. Generally, supermarkets are more Hard to get.In addition, Prime-grade beef is equally delicious, and factors such as the part and the distribution of oily flowers must also be considered.Prices range from a dozen dollars a pound to tens of dollars a pound.

After sending Ellison away, Chen Mo opened the mutton rating category he left behind, which is the rating standard set by some high-end restaurants...

In the United States, the price of mutton remains high, and the price is usually more expensive than beef in recent years.But if it is of the same high quality, the price of beef is more expensive than mutton...

The most expensive part of lamb is the lamb chops.

After a brief look, Chen Mo had lunch at Canby, and the group went to the sheep pen.

At the beginning, I bought 350 Dorper sheep, most of which were adult ewes, and many of them were pregnant ewes... more than [-] three-month-old lambs, and then all lambs were one month old.

The flock has grown to 400 in number.

A ranch ready to grow will usually keep the ewes and only sell the rams.

26只6个月的公羊，15只5个月的公羊，以及30只3.5个月——4个月的羊羔。都可以宰杀了……

"Six month-old rams, five 6-month-old rams, and five lambs. After slaughtering tomorrow, calculate which sheep has the highest profit." Chen Mo said.

Canlby gestured OK to tidy up, feeling happy.

The Snow Mountain Ranch is going to be on the right track, with income, which makes Canbi happy... Although he is just a wage earner, he can continue to work as long as the ranch can make money.

During this period, many ranch employees are on vacation and unemployed.The impact of Sino-US trade issues on American agriculture has further expanded, and it is good to keep the current job.Besides, his current salary is also very high.
