i have a space

Chapter 308
Chen Mo drank and asked Lin Ling to drive.

I drove back to Zhuyuan Mansion and drove into the small courtyard.

Turning on the interior lights, Chen Mo put down the back seat, made the bed, and took out the cup.

Lin Ling switched the car to pure electricity, turned on the air conditioner, then closed all the curtains on the car windows and went to the back.

Night, quiet.

The car shook slightly...

The next day, it was already past eight o'clock when I woke up.

Chen Mo got dressed and went back to the house with Lin Ling. After washing, he got back in the car and drove back to Mushan.

On the highway, Chen Mo's cell phone rang: "Hello." The cell phone connected to the car's Bluetooth.

"Do you have any lambs for sale in your pasture?" Zhang Weimin called.

"How much?"

"how many?"

"The number of lambs that can be sold is estimated to be only a few hundred." Chen Mo said.

He will leave a thousand more for Chen Yang.

Chen Mo's pasture is not yet saturated, and is far from saturated.

Fully saturated, ewes are 10.And it can also raise 10,000+ mutton sheep.And the cubs brought by the ewe are not included here...

The climate in Mushan is warm and frost-free in winter.This means that pasture can also grow in winter.

There is no shortage of pasture all year round, and there are more than 2 acres of pasture planting fields, especially 1 acres of sweet elephant grass, which provides at least 35 tons of silage a year.

There are also more than 1 acres of alfalfa.

Alfalfa yields are much lower and are all used to make green hay.Alfalfa is mainly used to feed ewes. If there is not enough pasture in the future, alfalfa can be reduced by [-] acres... or even all the land can be used to grow sweet elephant grass.

For now, Chen Mo and the others have no shortage of pasture, but the number of sheep is not enough.

"Wushan New Village was selected as a demonstration base for animal husbandry. The entire village was subsidized by the government and built into a cooperative breeding pasture area." Zhang Weimin said.

"What is a cooperative breeding ranch area?" Chen Mo didn't quite understand.

"It's a breeding area that combines animal husbandry and animal husbandry." Zhang Weimin then explained to Chen Mo what the animal husbandry and animal husbandry combination is.

After land consolidation and redistribution, each family has at least ten acres of land, and most have more than thirty acres of land.Some people are still willing to farm, so continue farming.The main purpose is to grow grass, and there will be farms to purchase this grass.After all, as long as it is managed well, the return is much higher than growing food.

There are also people who no longer want to farm, so they can rent out the land.

Some people are planning to set up their own breeding farms and then turn their own land into pasture.

After listening for a while, I still didn’t understand what pastoral union meant.

However, Wushan New Village needs to purchase lambs, and the purchase volume is large.

Wushan New Village, not counting Wushan Pastoral Area and Chengtang Pasture, has five relatively large farms under construction, mainly raising cattle and sheep.

One of the cattle farms plans to raise [-] cattle,

The rest are all about raising sheep. It is easy to build a breeding farm, but it takes time to purchase lambs.Moreover, due to land constraints, those who have converted to breeding farms mainly raise meat sheep, and most of them do not like to raise ewes.This type of breeding farm is also called a fattening farm in the large pastoral areas, and it is directly raised in captivity.

Raising ewes is more troublesome, because to maintain a healthy body, ewes need to go out frequently.Without enough space, it is difficult to raise ewes well.If you can buy cheaper lamb directly, that is the best.

Back in Mushan County, Chen Mo first went around the breeding farm under construction in Wushan New Village, and then looked at the sheep sheds built by farmers.

Local farmers are not prepared to raise ewes. Many people have never raised ewes and are afraid of raising them poorly.Moreover, you can directly buy cheaper lambs in the future, and all the sheep sheds built locally have sheep beds.

The sheep cot is plastic.

The height of the sheep bed is 2.2 meters above the ground.

In such a sheep shed with a sheep bed, the sheep eat, drink and poop inside, and their poop falls directly into the shed. There is no need to clean the sheep shed every day.

With this kind of high sheep bed, you only need to clean the underside of the sheep bed once every few months.

Wang Peng was here and took Chen Mo to visit several sheep sheds and said, "What do you think of this kind of sheep shed?"

"Very good." Chen Mo said.

There is a pasture below the sheep shed. The sheep are fed in the morning and then let out to graze freely.Rush back to the sheep shed at night and continue feeding... This design is very convenient.Moreover, relatively speaking, there is not a lot of work, and the main busy time is morning and night.

"Is there anything that needs improvement?" Wang Peng asked.

Chen Mo thought for a while, said 'hmm', and pointed to the enclosed land.The land has been plowed and pasture seeds have been sown.

"This land is about ten acres."

"15 acres."

"15 acres, it is best to leave a piece of land under the sheep house, about 2 acres. Then plan a road from the middle..." Chen Mo said, while gesturing with his hands: "Pull up the wires on the two middle roads, and connect this piece of land." The land is divided into left and right sides. Then some small spaces are divided on both sides."

“Can’t we use the whole grazing land?”

"How many sheep are you going to raise here?"

"I can buy some silage from you in the future. So the design here is to have 1-3 sheep per acre of land." Wang Peng said: "If you raise too few, you won't make any money."

Three to five animals per acre. If there are 1 acres, you can raise up to 10 animals.In this case, it should not be much different from going out to work.

Chen Mo pointed at the sheep house: "In other words, this sheep house has the largest number of sheep. It needs to raise almost a hundred sheep. One hundred sheep is not many, but it is not a lot. If they are let out every day, the grass grown in this area will There is no way to support so much land. Moreover, if there are too many sheep, they will run in the fields every day. Over time, the grass will not grow well in the fields... It is best to separate some small pieces of land for the sheep to eat these days. On this piece of land, the sheep will be allowed to eat the grass on another piece of land in a few days... And it is best not to plant all the same kind of grass in these pasture areas. Separate small pieces of grassland and use a variety of grass species..."

A dozen acres of land can also be used to build a pasture.

Small boutique ranch.

Wang Peng nodded: "All the small pastures here need to be rectified."

"Actually, it is not very cost-effective to raise sheep on such a small ranch. It is best to raise cattle, Angus cattle, and Wagyu cattle." Chen Mo said: "These two types of cattle have good meat quality and high prices. If they can be raised well, Raising five cows as a family is better than working outside."

Wang Peng's eyes lit up.

Angus cattle and Wagyu beef are expensive. As long as they are well raised, an Angus cattle can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

However, the investment in raising these cattle is also high and the risks are high.

For example, Angus cattle, a relatively pure Angus calf, costs more than 1 yuan.Raising Angus cattle requires a large amount of concentrate and the feed cost is also high.If one of these cows is raised to death, it would be unbearable for ordinary farmers.
