Chapter 72 The Elegant Cow


Chapter 72 The Elegant Cow

Guo Yang and the others walked along the cement path in the middle of the cow room. On both sides were the yellow and white Simmental cattle and the purple Qinchuan cattle.

When several people walked by, the cows on both sides raised their heads and mooed.

Some cows even came forward on their own initiative.

Zhang Wei, who was carrying a backpack on his back, smiled and said: "It seems that the cow's nose is also very sensitive. It knows that we have brought good things here."

At this time, Cai Bin wanted to grab some alfalfa and feed it to the cows, but Guo Yang quickly stopped him, "Don't feed it yet. Wait until you ask the administrator to see how to feed it."

Guo Yang knew that agriculture seemed simple. But many times a well-intentioned move turns out to be a big mistake.

Especially in the breeding industry, the risks are even greater.

There is a saying that goes well, if a family has a lot of wealth, it does not include those with hair.

When I walked to the end, I saw the staff here.

Two people in protective suits are cleaning up.

Seeing someone coming, one of them, a tall, thin young man wearing glasses, stopped.

"Zhang Wei, Cai Bin, what are you doing here? We are busy right now."

Zhang Wei took a step forward, pointed at Guo Yang and said, "I'm not here to play with you. , we brought the company boss over to feed the cows.”

The young man was a little surprised, which boss would come to feed the cows himself?

But the two of them were carrying baskets on their backs, and grass could still be seen in the baskets, so they didn't look like they were joking.

Zhang Wei then introduced: "Boss, this is Dingji, the manager of the breeding farm. That person over there is a villager from Shuangqiao Village, a worker hired by the cattle farm."
< br>Guo Yang smiled and nodded to Ding Ji.

Some time ago, he was busy promoting the construction of the seed base in Tianhe. He rarely came to the ranch, and it was his first time to visit the cattle breeding farm.

But he has read the information and documents from the Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Report, including the progress of the cattle breeding farm, and there is also information about Dingji.

Lao Xiang also specifically mentioned Dingji to him before going on vacation.

Ding Ji just graduated a few years ago and was a breeding technician in a large dairy farm. His job was not satisfactory, so he wanted to change his job.

After being introduced by someone, Dingji came into contact with Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

During the interview, I heard that Alfalfa had 200,000 acres of alfalfa pasture and the salary was high. Dingji happily agreed without asking any questions.

Only after arriving at the venue, I discovered that the gap between ideal and reality was a bit big.

When he saw the shallow alfalfa grass, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Could this be the 200,000 acres of grassland?

Ding Ji felt very bad. The grass seeds had only been sown not long ago, and the grassland was not even completely covered with green.

The growth of alfalfa is also uneven. From the exposed soil, you can feel that the soil is not very fertile and is probably still raw soil.

How long does it take for such a pasture to grow before it can be used to feed cattle!

But he decided to take another look, and if there was no fodder, he would go outside and buy it.

However, when he came to the cow farm and saw the empty cow room, Dingji was stunned.

Where is my cow?

If you don’t have a talent, why would you hire a director?

When he learned that not only were there no cows in the entire cattle farm, but he was the only employee, he immediately felt overwhelmed.

I asked why I, a breeding technician, applied for the position of field director, but it turned out to be the bald commander!

Dingji wanted to run away.

But when I thought about the generous salary, I hesitated.

Finally, I chose to meet with Xiang Tianshan, the person in charge of Haohe Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

After some conversation, Dingji finally understood that Alfalfa had a plan to build a large dairy farm. But it will take some time before it is implemented.

Because the pasture is still improving saline-alkali land, most of the pasture in the early stage will be directly used as green manure to return to the field to improve the soil, and the yield of forage will not be high.

But according to the boss's request, the work of the breeding farm has to be carried out again.

That’s why there is recruitment for this position.

Before him, several people had come for interviews, but in the end they did not choose to stay.

Guo Yang saw that Ding Ji was still dazed, so he took the initiative to ask: "Well, can the alfalfa just cut back be fed to cattle? There is still snow water on it."

Guo Yang has never fed cattle, right? The understanding of cattle is still at the level of 'eating', beef, beef tendon, beef brisket, steak...

Ding Ji came back to his senses, "You can feed it, as long as the proportion does not exceed 30%, feed more It will cause bloating disease, but where did you cut the fresh alfalfa? It couldn't be in the pasture outside. Can you get it so short?"

After saying that, Dingji walked closer to the basket. , when he saw the delicate green alfalfa with dense and small leaves, he felt a little dazed.

“Is there such good alfalfa in the pasture?”

Guo Yang and the others all laughed. Their expressions when they first saw the seed field were much more exaggerated than Ding Ji's.

“This is a new alfalfa variety in the seed field. The boss cut some to see if the cows like it.” It’s chopped straw and feed. The cows like to eat this fresh alfalfa grass.”

“Not to mention the cow, even I want to get some.”

“This. Can people eat these things?" Zhang Wei asked curiously.

"Hey, you don't understand. Alfalfa has strong medicinal value. It can relieve cough and asthma, prevent aging, prevent prostatitis, bone hyperplasia, and even reduce the symptoms of angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease."

Zhang Wei and Cai Bin both turned to look at Guo Yang.

Guo Yang also asked simply: "How to eat it?"

"Wash the young shoots or young stems and leaves, blanch them in boiling water, take them out and rinse them with fresh water several times. , drain, chop into cold sauce, stir-fry, or make stuffing.”

“Pick some and try it later.”

Zhang Wei put down his backpack and started picking alfalfa.

When the cows around saw the green grass, they immediately stopped drying and mooed non-stop.

Dingji tried to calm the cattle, but he did not expect that the cattle were getting more and more irritable, and some strong cattle even tried to climb over the cattle frame.

A pair of big, bulging eyes stared straight at the grass in the basket.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yang had an idea in his mind, "Can I feed all the alfalfa in this basket to a cow?"

Ding Ji lifted up the backpack and estimated the weight. "It's too much. I can feed two to three cows with the feed."

"Okay, then I'll pick two cows to feed."

Guo Yang began to look at the cattle carefully. He didn't know much about cattle, so he asked Ding Ji to introduce them.

“Simmental cattle are mainly used as hybrid male lines and have obvious effects on improving domestic local breeds.”

“Qinchuan cattle have a long history and are native to the Guanzhong Plain area in the Wei River Basin. . During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and brought back alfalfa seeds, which were widely planted in the Guanzhong area and used to feed cattle, which significantly improved the quality of Qinchuan cattle."

Guo Yang looked at each cow one by one, observing each cow for a while.

He found that the yellow and white Simmental cattle are generally tall and have very plump muscles;

Qinchuan cattle have a more moderate neck thickness and are more attractive to look at.

Especially one of them, the coat color is not the common purple-red and red, but the rare yellow color among Qinchuan cattle.

Guo Yang stared at the cow for a while and felt that the cow was very delicate.
