Chapter 201 Cowshed
Common closed cow houses and closed sheep houses have walls and windows on all four sides, and are fully covered by the ceiling. They are divided into single-row closed houses and double-row closed houses.

Due to the climate and environment of Valley Ranch, windows can be left in or out.Leaving the windows is probably just for the purpose of providing light.

A single-row closed cowshed has only one row of cow beds. The width of the cowshed is usually 6 meters and the height is about 2.6-2.8 meters. The roof can be built into a flat roof or a ridged roof. This kind of cowshed has a small span and is easy to build.For raising houses, 6 meters can almost be made into double rows.

Single-row closed barns are mainly suitable for small beef cattle farms.

A double-row closed cow house is equipped with two rows of cow beds. The two rows of cow beds are usually raised head-to-head.The center is the passage.The house is 12 meters wide, 2.7-2.9 meters high, and has a ridged roof.Double-row closed barns are suitable for larger beef cattle farms...

This kind of double-row or single-row cattle and sheep house is more reasonable in design. It is equipped with a winch to semi-automatically handle sewage manure.As for fully automatic, that is another price.

Lin Feng finally chose a double-row cattle barn with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. If all cattle were raised, he could raise more than 100 cows at most.The most suitable density is one hundred heads.

The total cost is about 40.

陈墨老爸建一个1130平米的牛舍，40万。再建设一个800平米的羊舍，30万。总计70万。

After finalizing the plan, Dad and the others gave a deposit.

"After building the site, how much money do you still have?" Chen Mo asked.

"I still have 33 on hand." Lin Feng said.

"Your mother and I have 55 yuan on hand." Dad Chen said with a smile: "Don't build any more cowsheds or sheephouses. Renovate the old cowshed. Use the remaining money to buy us cows and sheep. We will help you herd the animals."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded: "Lin Ling and I still have 10,000+ on hand."

"Tomorrow when the contractor comes in, we'll go to the cattle market and have a look." Lin Feng said, "Let's take a look at the current price of cattle."

"Seven to eight thousand a head." Chen Mo said.

The price of calves depends mainly on weight, and then on breed.

If they want to buy, they will mainly buy Simmental cattle. It is said that... this kind of cattle is easier to raise.

"Veterinarian Sun will come with us to take a look tomorrow morning." Dad Chen said.

"Yes. I'll give him a call..." Chen Mo took out his phone and called Sun Xuebing.

Sun Xuebing is the manager of Huaxi Ranch. He was just hired some time ago. He is a veterinarian and has also managed a breeding farm.

Sun Xuebing used to manage a cattle farm. The cattle farm was not big, but there were four to five hundred cows.

Huaxi Agriculture Co., Ltd. is mainly focusing on the farm this year.There are currently only three people on the ranch, Sun Xuebing, Zhang Cheng's father, and Cheng Tang's father-in-law.And the capital invested in Huaxi Ranch is only 70...

This 70 is mainly used to purchase cattle, sheep, and feed.Sun Xuebing’s salary is a separate expense...

Lin Ling is pregnant, and Chen's mother and Lin Ling's mother are staying with her during this time.

Valley Ranch is in a remote location with great scenery.Here... how should I put it, it is no different from those large pastoral areas in New Zealand.Good mountains, good water, so lonely...

back home.

On the concrete floor outside, my mother and the others got a wood-burning stove from nowhere and were stewing meat outside.

Mom and the others were afraid that Lin Ling would be bored and think of something to do every day to pass the time.If Lin Ling wasn't pregnant, she could still follow Chen Mo everywhere.Now, I can only rest at home.

"Is dinner ready?" Lin Feng got out of the car and said with a smile.

"It's all about you."

"Right now, boil some vegetables and you can eat them." Mother Chen said and threw some vegetable leaves into the pot.

When you are pregnant with a child, you cannot always eat meat, but eat more vegetables and fruits.

Lin Ling looked at Chen Mo pitifully.

Chen Mo smiled and went over and shook Lin Ling's hand: "Go to the sheep market tomorrow. I heard that there are alpacas for sale in the sheep market. Let's buy two."

"When you buy an alpaca, where can you raise it?"

Chen Mo patted Xiao Hei's dog's head and gave it a piece of meat: "Our old cowshed is used to raise sheep in the cowshed in the valley."

I called Sun Xuebing just now and heard him explain that the day after tomorrow happens to be the sheep market and I can sell lambs to free-range farmers.The cattle market is always open, but the sheep market...especially the sheep market in some towns, usually opens at intervals.The specific time varies from place to place and is determined by convention.Just like market day in the south...

Lin Ling nodded vigorously.

"You should get more rest and stop running around." Lin Ling's mother said. "I'm so bored at home and want to go out and play," Lin Ling said.

"Let Lin Ling go. The sheep market is in the next town, not very far..."

"It's not very far. How far?" Chen Ma said.

"It's not that far anyway..."

Not very far, relatively speaking.Probably, forty or closer to fifty kilometers.

During this time, the food at home was good. Every day was either beef or mutton, and Xiao Hei had gained weight.

Lin Ling saw Xiao Hei looking up at Chen Mo and holding a large piece of meat: "Xiao Hei."

The meat was very hot, so Lin Ling put it directly on the ground.

Xiao Hei wagged his tail and his eyes looked like he was smiling.

"My dear, can this little Hei be trained into a shepherd dog?" Lin Feng asked.

"It should be possible." Dad Chen said, "Xiao Hei is very smart and very obedient."

Xiao Hei can understand some simple instructions.And very well-behaved...

"I'll raise a few dogs later." Lin Feng said, "Train them well."

Dad Chen smiled and picked up the beer and touched it with Lin Feng.

Chen Mo served Lin Ling rice and put some vegetables in her bowl: "Don't just eat meat. Eat more vegetables..."

"By the way, there will be no vegetables at home. You go out tomorrow and buy more vegetables. You won't need the meat. There is still plenty of meat at home." Mother Chen said.

Beef, mutton, and pork at home...

Moreover, fresh beef is often sold in Xueyuan Township.As for mutton, you can buy it whole from a nearby ranch.

But vegetables can only be bought in big towns or cities outside.

After dinner, it was getting dark.

Chen Mo helped clear the dining table, walked with Lin Ling, and walked home.

Xiao Hei was particularly active. He followed them and ran fast on both sides of them. He was so happy.

"Tell mom, they don't have to stay with me every day." Lin Ling said, "I'm pregnant, not confinement."

Chen Mo shook Lin Ling's hand: "How do you say it?"

"Mom and the others are around me every day, and I feel stressed."

Chen Mo took a breath and said, "Okay, let me tell my mother."

"And my mother. I want to sleep in these days, but every time you go out, my mother comes over and calls me. I'm very depressed..." Lin Ling said.

Chen Mo smiled: "Just try hard. It will be fine when the child is born."

"When the child is born..." Lin Ling said with a face: "It will be even harder to take care of the child in the future."

"Parents have come this way. Our generation is lucky, most of them are only children, and both parents are willing to help take care of their children. For our parents' generation, it is hard to take care of us." Chen Mo gently held Lin Ling's shoulders.

There was a car coming from behind, and Lin Ling's mother stuck her head out: "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"

"I want to sleep in tomorrow." Lin Ling said, "Don't call me too early. I haven't slept well these past few days."

"What time did you go to bed at night?"

"It's after ten o'clock or eleven o'clock...I'll sleep in tomorrow." Lin Ling said.

"Go to sleep. Call me when you wake up..."

Lin Feng stretched his neck and looked at Chen Mo: "Then let's set off at eight o'clock tomorrow."

"Row."
