At noon the next day, Chu Qian finally ate the fried noodles made by Liu Mo'ang.

Liu Mo'ang was also happy to see his wife eating so happily.

The second mowing of the grassland was about to begin, which made Liu Mo'ang become busy.

The first time the mowing was excellent, and the amount of fresh grass harvested was nearly 15% more than expected, which made Professor Xin feel happy and painful.

The reason for happiness is naturally because of the high yield, but the reason for pain is also this. He really can't figure out why the forage here grows so well! This yield is almost as good as the forage at low altitudes in Yalong!

For a rigorous scientific researcher, it is too painful to not understand the reason.

However, Liu Mo'ang didn't have so many ideas. Given that the civil engineering in the ecological animal husbandry was about to be completed and the equipment in the slaughtering and division workshop was also entering the installation stage, under Liu Mo'ang's instructions, Ye Kun, general manager of the ecological animal husbandry, began to carry out yak fattening work with the surrounding herders.

In fact, the best time for yak fattening is not now, but from January to May every year.

On the plateau, yaks are grazed naturally. They can only gain weight when the grass is lush in June and July every year, and then they will be purchased and slaughtered in August to October. However, at other times, because yaks are short of grass and grow too thin, it is not cost-effective for herders to sell them.

Especially from January to May, the plateau has the least grass, and yaks are hungry at this time, so their weight does not increase but decreases.

If the yaks are fed at this time, the yak's weight will increase as much as a balloon in at most half a year.

For example, under natural stocking, a three-year yak will generally weigh less than 150 kilograms in January each year. If the yaks can be fed until May, the yaks will generally increase to more than 300 kilograms!

Even fools know which one is worth a yak worth 150 kilograms or yak worth 300 kilograms.

Therefore, the best time for refrigeration is from January to May.

However, in order to enable the ecological animal husbandry slaughtering and division workshop to be able to move according to the predetermined target at the end of the year, it is not impossible to fatten yaks now.

A total of 45,000 acres of high-yield oat grass, even if it is cut in just one time, is enough to refund thousands of yaks.

Because the first batch of yaks to be refunded were mostly home-raised yaks from herders who signed pasture transfer contracts with ecological animal husbandry, and the surrounding herders also invested in ecological animal husbandry with their home yaks, so the weight of the yaks will definitely benefit from these herders.

You should know that when natural stockings are free, most yaks are slaughtered at the age of five to six. With supplementary feeding and fattening, yaks that are three or even two and a half years old can be slaughtered!

The most important thing is that the meat quality of yaks in two or three years is much more tender than that in five or six years!

This is true. The meat of yaks in five or six years is indeed relatively rough and has a lot of rough fiber. Although they have high nutritional value, their taste is not good. In addition, the yield is low, which makes yak meat unable to become mainstream beef.

But the meat quality of yaks over the past two or three years is still quite tender, not worse than that of the Luxi scalpers!

The time difference for breeding is half, the weight is bigger, the meat is more delicious, and whether to supplement feeding or not is not a multiple-choice question for herdsmen!

Unless it is a rare white yak, no herder is unwilling to sell the yaks raised at home to ecological pastoral industries.

Of course, if the herdsmen benefit, the profits of ecological animal husbandry will also be very high.

This is a serious plateau yak, not a yak in the West Sea or western Bashu. This kind of yak living in an altitude of more than 4,500 altitude is better in any aspect!

Of course, this kind of gimmick can also be used as a main advertisement when selling. For mainlanders, the higher the altitude and the harsh natural conditions, the better the things produced in areas.

For example, Cordyceps, musk, and yaks that are all raised at an altitude of more than 4,500 altitude!

The same yak meat, because of this gimmick, may increase the price per kilogram by more than ten yuan!

Needless to say, all the yak meat produced in my family is yaks raised at an altitude of more than 4,500 altitude! Even ecological animal husbandry will create a file card for each yak, which will be endorsed by the relevant departments of Dangquka County. Then when the beef is sold, these file cards verified by relevant government departments will be placed in front of customers.

This will make customers more clear about the yak meat they buy. For example, age, weight, which herder comes from, and the altitude area where they live...

This is undoubtedly a very pleasant sales method for customers.

Now these work is in progress!

Once the slaughtering and division workshop is started at the end of the year, these most primitive file jams will inevitably play a good role in future sales work!

In fact, this method is from Liu Mo'ang and the other three and the General Secretary Jin who was far away in the West Sea.

At the beginning, the method used by Mr. Jin when he cooperated with local herdsmen was to re-feed and fatten the local herdsmen's thin yaks in his pasture, and then the local herdsmen compensated for part of the "fattening costs" when selling yaks.

It is necessary to feed yaks and feed them. Isn’t the spent grass also money?

At the beginning, this method was OK, but because yaks are living creatures after all, and the yaks raised by a herder are not necessarily the same breed, so this caused some yaks to fatten more than 100 kilograms in five months, while some yaks only gained 60 or 70 kilograms in five months.

Now the herdsmen are quit.

Because herders sell cattle based on the weight of the yak, the fattening fee paid by the herders is certain.

For example, a yak herder needs to pay a fattening fee of 1,000 yuan, but some yaks gain 100 kilograms in five months, while others increase by 60 or 70 kilograms. After paying the same money, they fail to meet the weight gain standard, so the herders of course don’t do it anymore.

So when Mr. Jin started his business in Xihai, he was worried a lot about this and even lost money.

After absorbing the experience and lessons of General Jin, Liu Mo'ang and the other three avoided this situation when they formed Nianqing Tanggula Ecological Animal Husbandry.

Ecological animal husbandry will not charge local herders for fattening fees, but will directly cooperate with local herders, and the target of cooperation is yaks.

For example, a yak of two-year-old weight was 150 kilograms before re-feeding and fattening. After five months of re-feeding and fattening, the yak's weight reached 300 kilograms. Then, one-third of the 150 kilograms added, 50 kilograms, belonging to ecological animal husbandry.

According to the market price, if the purchase of this yak weighing 300 kilograms of yak is about 10,000 yuan, but because there is part of the ecological animal husbandry, the ecological animal husbandry only needs to pay the herders 250 kilograms, which is about 8,300 kilograms. The less paid 1,000 is equivalent to the cost of supplemental feeding and fattening.

For herders, a cow earns 1,700 less, which seems to be a bit of a loss, but in fact, as long as you know how to settle the accounts, the herders will definitely take advantage of it.

Not to mention anything else, herders can save half of their time just by raising cattle!

As the saying goes, if the herdsmen were allowed to raise yaks, it would take at least four years to reach 250 kilograms. If the weight of 300 kilograms, it would take at least five years to raise. Just calculate it at least two hundred and fifty kilograms, it would be sold for 8,300 kilograms for four years and 8,300 kilograms for two years to raise and fatten. Which is appropriate?

Moreover, herders don’t have to pay a penny for this, but just send the yaks that they have been raised for two years to the ecological animal husbandry for supplemental feeding and fattening. And the savings of the two years can bring more calfs.

As long as the cycle continues like this, the income of these herdsmen will double compared to before!

For ecological animal husbandry, what they need to pay is the funds paid to the forage or silage companies.

According to the contract signed by Ecological Animal Husbandry and Mutual Aid Company, Ecological Animal Husbandry will acquire the Oat Grass and Silage from Mutual Aid Company at the market price.

At the current market price, the price of fresh grass sold by Mujia Company is 250 yuan per ton, while the price of silage is 400 yuan per ton. Of course, supplementary feeding and fattening mainly relies on silage rather than fresh grass.

For a yak for five months, it requires about five tons of silage to be consumed. That is to say, the cost of re-feeding and fattening for a cattle in ecological animal husbandry is 2,000 yuan.

The 1,700 yuan obtained from the herdsmen will definitely not offset the cost of supplemental feeding and fattening, but this is not a loss for ecological animal husbandry, because it seems like it is a loss of 300 yuan, but on average, it is just a purchase price that increases by one yuan.

But don’t underestimate this dollar, as it is enough to attract more herders to sell their yaks to ecological animal husbandry. Ecological animal husbandry can ensure that enough yaks are purchased without causing idle equipment.

The cost of idle equipment is much higher than the 300 yuan extra paid for each yak, and both Liu Mo'ang and Wang Erhu can calculate the calculation clearly.

Not to mention that as long as there are enough yaks in ecological animal husbandry, the profits obtained by selling high-priced yak meat to the mainland and deep processing of yaks will be greater. The cost of each yak is only 300 yuan, which is nothing in the face of such high profits.

As for the mutual aid company, it seems that it makes the least profit, but in fact, the profits of the mutual aid company are also very high.

Last year, the 4,000 acres of oat grass were mowed three times a year, with an average yield of 1.2 tons of fresh grass per mu. This amount increased by nearly 50% compared with the initial estimate of 800 kilograms of fresh grass!

The yield per mu is 1.2 tons of fresh grass, which is 300 yuan according to the market price! If it is made into silage, one acre of oat grass can make about 0.84 tons of silage, which is 330 yuan. After deducting the silage additives, one acre of oat grass is also about 300 yuan.

In other words, if a mullama plantes an acre of oat grass, you can sell it for at least 300 yuan!

Forty-five thousand acres of oat grass, that is 13.5 million!

And what about the cost? Because there are relevant subsidies from the state, it is less than a quarter!

Don’t forget that there are still 5,000 acres of seed fields!

In other words, if the Mutual Aid Company only plants oat grass and seed fields, the annual net income will not be less than 13 million!

The cost of these 50,000 mu of grassland and the income of only those 5,000 mu of seed fields is enough. The 45,000 mu of oat grass is basically the same as you sell!

Therefore, Mutual Aid Company provides forage and ecological animal husbandry is responsible for supplemental feeding and fattening. Herders have benefited from selling a batch of yaks in two years. Such a simple and effective industrial chain has been formed.
Chapter completed!
