Chapter 219 Male Sheep

When they came to the cattle and sheep trading market, Chen Mo took Lin Ling and walked around for most of the circle.

The price of sheep has dropped, but the 17 yuan per catty sheep mentioned by Yao Guye is not Han sheep.

The price of Han sheep is still strong. A small-tailed Han sheep weighing more than 19.3 kilograms costs 1 yuan per kilogram.This kind of sheep is almost ready to be sent to the slaughterhouse.

"How much do these two rams cost?" Chen Mo asked.

"1 each."

"It's too expensive." Chen Mo stared at the two rams again and again and said, "How big are these two rams?"

"October."

These two rams were quite big. Chen Mo looked at them again and again and said, "1 are too expensive. Five thousand."

"You don't have such a counter-offer, just cut me in half." The man smiled and waved his hand.

"I'll take both of them together." Chen Mo said, "What's the minimum."

"The lowest...1." The man hesitated for a while before he quoted the price.

These two rams had just been shaved, with big bones and strong flesh.

Chen Mo put on his gloves and pinched the underside of the ram. This was taught by Sun Xuebing.Even if you don’t understand, just pinch it and it will show that you are very professional, and the sheep dealer will not make random quotes.

Chen Mo pinched the two rams one by one: "1 is too expensive, let's give you a honest price."

"This is the lowest price. Why don't you look elsewhere..."

The man said: "Look at this skeleton, it's a good breed of sheep. If it were sent to a special auction market, it would definitely sell for 1 yuan."

"Let's look elsewhere."

The rams that Chen Mo and the others bought before were all castrated and tail-docked, so they could not be used as breeding sheep.

Breeding rams need to be raised separately.Small-tailed Han sheep, the price of an adult purebred ram is about [-] to [-].There are some particularly good ones, quoted individually...

The price of small-tailed Han sheep ewes ranges from several hundred to two thousand each, including lambs, young sheep, and pregnant ewes.

Chen Mo and the others bought 750 sheep before, including 488 ewes.Overall, ewes are cheaper.The sheep sold together in a fence basically have more ewes and fewer rams.The rams are all castrated and tail-docked...

After going around in a circle, the price of Xiaohan sheep has not dropped much.Even said the price has increased.In terms of average price, Hanyang’s price has increased.

The prices of sheep and various hybrid sheep have dropped a lot.

Chen Mo is only going to raise Han sheep, a single breed, which is simpler to raise and not that much trouble.

So this time I came here mainly to see the male sheep. I looked around them all. The two male sheep that I just spotted, which cost [-] yuan, were really good.If it's not good, I won't ask for [-] yuan.

The current price was 8 yuan per piece. Chen Mo went back to bargain with the seller and finally settled the deal for 1.7 yuan.Then I found a car and selected 35 rams, all priced from [-] to [-].There are adult ones and seven-month-old ones...these rams have good frames.

It’s noon to send the sheep back.

小尾寒羊正常情况下从出生到成年只需要6个月，种公羊在8-10个月龄、母羊6-8月龄，可以参与配种。

The largest Han Sheep in the pasture is seven or eight months old and has been in heat a while ago.

in the afternoon.

Chen Mo and the others divided the sheep into fences again, and the castrated rams were divided into one fence, with a total of 260 of them.

The sheep now eat mainly grass and then very little feed.When I bought them back, all of these sheep weighed just over 60 pounds. Now that I have raised them... mainly the first batch of sheep, they are basically over [-] pounds.

Castrated and tail-docked small-tailed Hanyang rams grow the fastest. If they are fed feed, they can grow to [-] pounds in half a year.

In the prairie area, sheep are mainly fed grass and little concentrated feed, so the sheep grow slowly.

The ewes are smaller and are herded into different fences according to their size.Anyway, there are many fences in the pasture and few sheep.Some ewes are old enough, but they are not ready for breeding yet and will have to wait.Sheep that only eat grass and feed a small amount of concentrate grow too slowly.At least next month...

"Should we feed the ewes more concentrated feed for breeding?" Dad Chen said.

"No need to do that now. When it's time to breed, feed the baby some concentrated feed...and then after she's pregnant, feed it better," Chen Mo said.

The feed is quite easy and can be paid on credit.

Many feed stores offer credit, so you wait until the animals are raised and sold for money before you pay.The feed doesn't matter...

The main reason for not feeding too much feed is to save costs.

They have pastures, and the area is very large...

The rams are temporarily kept in the cowshed and served with hay and concentrated feed.

By the time we are done, it will be dark.

Chen Mo was about to go and see the cowshed under construction when Lin Ling drove in and said, "It's time to eat."

"Okay." Chen Mo got on the off-road vehicle.

When I got home, there were three roe deer in the yard.When Xiao Hei saw it, he ran over happily and scratched the smallest roe deer with his paw.

These roe deer seemed to be familiar with Xiao Hei and were not afraid.Moreover, they are getting bolder and bolder, and Lin Ling could get close to them before.Lin Ling had nothing to do day by day, and it took many attempts to get close to the roe deer.But now, when Chen Mo walks over, they are not afraid.But when Chen Mo wanted to touch them, they ran away, but not far...

Lin Ling made a beef stew with potatoes and fried some vegetarian dishes.

Chen Mo served the rice and waited for his parents to come in and start eating...

……

Nothing happened in the next few days, and in a blink of an eye it was the [-]th.

Chen Mo and Lin Ling drove the RV and played in the ranch for a few days.Then the weather forecast said it was going to rain, so Chen Mo went to Valley No. [-] to help his father and the others herd the sheep.

Their place is remote, but they have a special weather station, and the weather forecast is still very accurate.

night.

Chen Mo and Lin Ling spent the night in the RV. The rain hit the roof of the car, waking up Chen Mo and the others.

Lin Ling got up and closed the window.

Chen Mo also got up and closed the window in front: "It finally rained heavily."

"Is this heavy rain considered timely rain?" Lin Ling asked.

"Of course." Chen Mo said with a smile: "The corn is about to grow corn bags. Now that there is a heavy rain, the corn will grow better."

With 6 acres of corn, the corn stalks are almost 2 meters tall and are still growing.Under normal circumstances, it will take about ten days to start earing.

Corn heading is the phenomenon of fully developed ears extending out of the top leaves as the corn stalks elongate.When corn enters the heading stage, it is a critical period that determines the number of corn kernels...

Now when it rains, corn stalks can grow thicker, which means more energy is stored in the body.

It is impossible to cultivate 6 acres of corn with real precision.Just like corn bags, if it is a small area of ​​corn, the number of corn bags can be controlled.There is no way to remove corn bags by hand in these 6 acres...

To achieve high yields of corn, the most important thing is water and fertilizer management.

Now there is a heavy rain, which is a timely rain for corn.For forage, it is even more timely.After this rain, the grass growth really took off.

This rain heralds a good harvest.
