Chapter 1171： Beef fattening

After visiting the zoo, Yang Cheng's overall feeling is not bad, and his plan for a high-end resort ranch has begun to take shape.

"Boss, the zoo is on the right track. The details need to be gradually improved, especially the staff. Whether it is signboard or training, it must be polished a little time. These are all in a hurry." Finally, when Yang Cheng came out, Jeff Lowe said.

Yang Cheng nodded slightly, "I understand that Rome was not built in a day. Not only the zoo, but the entire ranch will take time to work hard."

took a few steps forward, and before getting into the car, Yang Cheng turned around and said, “You did a good job last year. Continue to work hard. Next year, your annual salary can be raised to the next level. How about $100,000? There will be a performance award at the end of the year?”

No one dislikes money. The same is true for Jeff Lowe. Now that he has a decent job, he naturally pursues material things. Even if Yang Cheng doesn’t mention it, he will take the initiative to mention it after his work is effective. In this respect, I never feel embarrassed. As long as I am doing a good job consciously, I can ask for a salary that meets my work ability. Of course, it is another matter for the boss to give it.

"Thank you boss, I will be able to afford every salary you pay." Jeff Lowe said confidently.

Compared to the animal economic man who was downcast when I first saw him, Jeff now looks at least like a person. With a suit that is not expensive but decent, he will not be looked down upon when he goes out.

After watching Yang Cheng leave, Jeff returned to the zoo to continue his day's work.

Yangcheng continued to patrol the pasture. Last year, 3,000 cattle were introduced into the pasture, including 2,000 Angus cattle, 500 Simmental cattle, and 500 Limousin cattle of different ages. The quality of Angus cattle is well known. It is the most widely stocked beef cattle breed in the world today.

Simmental cattle are known for their high milk production rate;

Limousin cattle come from the Limousin Plateau in central France. They have slender bones and high meat yield. They are also a circle larger than Angus cattle. The pastures usually choose different breeds of cattle to cross-breed. One is In order to ensure the meat yield; the second is to crossbreed as much as possible of new beef cattle breeds.

In addition, the Australian wagyu cattle obtained through Yang Yuanshan have a very pleasant life in the ranch. Of course, in a short time, Yang Cheng does not expect to earn money from these wagyu cattle. Breeding their offspring is their primary responsibility.

"Sir, the more than 100 Angus cattle that existed on the ranch have been fattened, with an average fattening weight of more than 800 kilograms, and the profit per cow is around US$500." White does not need to read the report, these data are all in his mind.

Yui Aragaki was surprised, as if she had learned a new posture, but Yang Cheng frowned, "800 kg? I remember that the average weight of Angus cattle raised by my grandfather was over 900 kg, and the profit per cow was over 600. US dollars."

White explained, “Because the time before and after we took over the pasture, the primary fattening of the calves was delayed due to various reasons, and the previous rancher Juan, in order to save money, did not use enough forage to feed the cattle, and the growth of the calves was not good. This also led to the final slaughter weight not reaching the best results."

Yang Cheng nodded, if so, she can explain it.

White further said, “After we took over the ranch, we re-employed cowboys and workers, and found the best forage ratio plan. The 300 cows that are currently being fattened will gain at least 4 kilograms a day, and the slaughter weight is expected to reach 900 kilograms. It's not a problem at all."

When they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the cowshed.

Compared with the rough stocking mode of other pastures, the treatment of beef cattle by Jason Ranch is absolutely palace-level. Not only is there a special barn for fattening cattle, but even the calves that have not yet grown can be returned to the warm room at night. Avoid catching cold and getting sick, and the space for activities during the day is much larger than other similar ones. It can be said that before death, they can be regarded as a wonderful life of putting on clothes to stretch out their hands and open their mouths.

As soon as he entered the fattening barn, Yang Cheng saw the Angus cattle that could bring him good profits. The appearance of this type of cattle is very distinctive and very easy to identify. For example, most Angus cattle are black. This is also one of the reasons why it is known as one of the black whirlwinds in the beef cattle world. Another obvious feature is that the Angus bull has no horns on its head, and the stubby Angus cattle is unique among its kind.

stretched out his hand and patted the face of the first cow after getting started. You can see that its mental state is very good. A pair of big camel bells with bright eyes made Yang Cheng embarrassed to kill it.

Looking at the shape of this Angus cow at close range, he nodded in satisfaction, and beckoned to let a busy cowboy come over. The man didn’t react at first, but he saw White following Yang Cheng and immediately I recognized Yang Cheng, a face as recognizable as Angus cattle.

Well, it’s because Yang Cheng couldn’t see through the hearts of the people. If he knew that he was likened to a cow by his own employees, he wouldn’t know if he would become irritated, so he just drove him.

"Good morning boss, my name is Angus~" The young cowboy who was called looked very shy and was very restrained in front of Yang Cheng.

I just wanted to ask about the cow, but when she heard the kid's name, Yang Cheng smiled directly, "Your name is Angus?"

The young cowboy lowered his head helplessly, "Boss, just laugh if you want, I'm used to it."

Don't talk about Yang Cheng, even White, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't hold back, almost squirting out.

"Man, don't mind, you also know where our laughter is." Yang Cheng patted Angus on the shoulder, comfortingly said.

Afterwards, he continued to walk deep into the cowshed and asked as he walked, "It seems that you are doing a good job. Can you tell me more about it? As the owner of the ranch, I have to know some details, what do you think? "

It may be Yang Cheng’s kind attitude that relieved Angus’ nervousness, and hurriedly followed up and said, “After more than a year of observation and analysis, referring to the climate and water conditions of our ranch, my colleagues and I Together we worked out a feeding plan exclusive to our ranch."

Yang Cheng came interested, "Oh? Brand new? Let's listen to it?"

"It's a boss, and all cattle raisers know that the most important thing for raising Angus cattle is the fattening and feeding stage. When the calf starts to grow, the first step is to carry out the primary fattening. We give Angus during the preliminary preparation stage. The feed provided by cattle should pay attention to the nutritional value. The overall nutrition must be high enough to improve the quality of the meat. The ratio of concentrated feed to roughage is 2:8. In addition, energy feed should be added. Less than 55% of the total feed.

In addition to concentrated feed, roughage and energy feed, protein feed is also indispensable. The proportion of protein feed in the feed for feeding cattle should be controlled not less than 30% of the total amount, and appropriate amounts of salt and other trace elements should be supplemented to the cattle to ensure Angus cattle can gain healthy and stable weight.

According to our plan, the daily feeding amount of each cow is 36 kg of mixed feed. After we have carried out the primary fattening stage for the cattle for six months, their average weight can easily reach 400 kg. A cow can gain two catties every day.

Of course, at this stage, it is not possible to carry out complete captive breeding, but to ensure that they have a proper amount of activity, about an hour a day, which will give the beef to the slaughter a beautiful marble pattern. "

Yang Cheng stopped, "Did our feed be purchased from outside, or is it owned by the ranch?"

Angus quickly said, "Boss, about this issue, I will introduce it later."

Yang Cheng nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"At the end of the primary fattening phase, we can then proceed to the intermediate fattening of Angus cattle in full swing.

The most obvious change in the intermediate fattening stage compared to the primary fattening stage is that the energy of the feed is significantly increased. Only high-energy feeding can quickly fatten the cattle.

The most significant change in feed is that we use high-quality first-fat pastures with higher nutritional value to replace the roughage used in the primary fattening stage, and the ratio has to be changed, probably because the forage ratio is 7:3.

Another important requirement is that the energy feed should be more than 60% of the total concentrate feed. In addition, the protein feed should not be less than 30%. That is to say, the energy feed and protein feed are combined in the ratio of concentrate feed. Just over 90%. In addition to protecting important nutrients, we still have to start with subtle breeding, such as supplementing salt and trace elements in an appropriate amount, which is also an essential detail for raising healthy Angus cattle.

Angus cattle lacking in salt and trace elements not only have poor appetite, which affects Angus cattle’s steady weight gain, UU Reading cattle may also have a decreased immunity due to lack of trace elements, and not only cannot gain weight, but may also fall. Even death from illness has brought incalculable economic losses to the pasture.

The final stage is naturally the advanced fattening stage, which is the scene we currently see. This is the sprint fattening stage before the slaughter. It is best to increase the weight of the cattle at the fastest speed, ensure the amount of meat, and increase the weight of the cattle. The way to do this is to feed more and eat more, and the ratio of concentrated feed, protein and energy feed must be adjusted upwards. This stage should be maintained for about two months.

During these two months, we will provide feed for the cows 24 hours a day, so that the cows can eat as long as they want to eat. Therefore, we will arrange three shifts to ensure that the cows are monitored 24 hours a day to maintain the cows. Each trough in the pen is full of feed. Of course, the movement of the cattle must be restricted, and the cattle must be restricted to the pen to eat fat and nourish fat to gain weight.

This is also the guarantee that we are able to increase the weight of cattle at least 4 catties a day.

The batch of cattle in front of us will be released at the end of February, and we hope to sell them at a good price. "

Yang Cheng knows more or less about fattening, but since Angus is interested in explaining it in detail, he did not have the heart to interrupt. For young people, ensuring their enthusiasm for work is also something that a boss must master. One of the skills.
