Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

Upon hearing footsteps, N-12 raised its head from the feeding trough and turned its ears forward.

Su Chen walked to the door of the cubicle and looked through the observation window.

N-12 is in good spirits, has a glossy coat, a moist nose, and normal stool.

He opened the cubicle door and quietly walked in.

N-12 didn't dodge; he stood still and let Ben inspect him.

Ben stroked its back and then lifted its hoof to look at the soles of its hooves.

Finally, I used a stethoscope to listen to his heart rate and breathing.

"Heart rate is stable, breathing is normal, and body temperature is normal."

Record it in a notebook.

"This cow is very adaptable; it was basically unaffected by the new environment."

Both N-07 and N-15 are in good condition.

N-07 paced back and forth in the cubicle a few times.

I looked down and smelled the bedding, then took a few sips of water.

N-15 was lying on the ground ruminating when he saw Ben come in.

He just looked up at it, then lowered his head again to continue chewing.

All fifteen breeding cows are in stable condition.

The gestation and nursing area is much more spacious than the original cowshed.

The cows have plenty of room to move around.

Some were slowly pacing around in their enclosures, some were lying down to rest, and a few were grazing.

Su Chen walked to the control panel and increased the temperature control system setting by one degree.

The temperature was low in the early morning, and the breeding cattle had just been moved from their original barn.

A sudden temperature change can cause a cold.

The airflow of the ventilation system was also reduced by one level to prevent cold air from blowing directly on the cow.

Ben spent a few minutes in each cubicle.

Observe the cattle's feeding, drinking, and defecation.

"Normal food intake, normal water intake, formed stools, no diarrhea, no cough, no runny nose."

This involves filling in the data for each cow into a table.

"All indicators are within the normal range, and there is no stress response."

Emma held the pedigree records and checked the ear tag numbers of each cow one by one.

"N-12, the number matches, the pedigree record is complete."

"N-07, matched; N-15, matched."

She then checked the numbers of the fifteen cows, and they were all correct, with no confusion.

Su Chen locked the door to the breeding area from the inside.

He then put the keys into his inner pocket.

Starting today, the breeding area will be under a two-person, two-lock management system.

Su Chen took one key, Emma took another, but there was no key.

Two people must be present at the same time to enter the breeding area; one person is not allowed to enter.

Su Chen took out his phone and opened the monitoring app.

I watched all sixteen scenes in the breeding area one by one.

There are four scenes in the mating area and six scenes in the gestation area.

There are four conservation areas, one collection room, and one storage room.

Every shot is clear, with no blind spots or obstructions.

Black Fang lay on the outside of the breeding area, its head facing the entrance.

Through the surveillance camera, Su Chen could see that Hei Feng's ears were constantly twitching, trying to catch any sounds from his surroundings.

Lingfeng hovered over the breeding area.

At a height of 200 meters, the field of vision covers the entire breeding area within a radius of one kilometer.

Su Chen enabled Ling Feng's perspective sharing.

The scene was empty, with no vehicles or people.

Ben walked to the feed silo, opened the door, and took a look.

After the premium forage is pulverized, it is packed into large sealed bags.

The bags were stacked on the shelf, with labels indicating the ingredients and dates.

I took a packet, opened it, and smelled it.

It has a strong grassy aroma, no musty smell, and no impurities.

I measured the water temperature in the water dispenser; it was 15 degrees Celsius, which was just right.

The pH value of the water was also tested; it was 7.3, slightly alkaline, suitable for long-term drinking by breeding cattle.

The automatic feeding system has started operating.

The feed in the silo is delivered to the feeding troughs in each compartment through pipes, and the feed is dispensed in fixed quantities.

Su Chen stood in front of the control panel, looking at the data on the screen.

Three kilograms were placed in compartment one, three kilograms in compartment two, three kilograms in compartment three, and so on.

Two and a half kilograms were placed in each compartment of the breastfeeding area.

The amount of feed given is determined based on the weight of each cow and its feeding habits.

N-12 is heavy and has a large appetite, so give it three kilograms.

The cow is light in weight, so give her 2.5 kilograms.

The amount of food provided will be adjusted daily based on the feeding situation.

Add more if you finish eating, and reduce the amount if you can't finish.

The automatic manure scraping system was activated once at noon.

The motor drives the chain, and the scraper, which runs along the ground, pushes the excrement into the drainage ditch.

The water flows into the harmless treatment pool.

The whole process took less than five minutes, and the feces barely stayed in the cubicle.

Su Chen walked to the harmless treatment pool and opened the inspection port to take a look.

The microbial agents in the pool are decomposing the feces.

Tiny bubbles rise to the surface, and there is no foul odor, only a faint fermented smell.

Old Tom took a stroll outside the breeding area.

The perimeter fencing and warning signs were inspected.

The fence was not damaged, and the words on the warning sign were still clear.

It reads "Core breeding area, unauthorized entry prohibited."

Juan and Luis were assigned to work in a more distant location.

Mayor George called in the afternoon to ask if Su Chen Ranch was carrying out any major construction projects recently.

Su Chen only said that he was expanding the cowshed, and didn't say anything else.

George didn't ask any further questions and hung up the phone.

Anderson also called, wanting to visit the ranch and learn from their experience.

Su Chen said he was busy lately and would talk to him later.

Su Chen put down his phone and stood outside the breeding area.

I looked through the observation window at the cows inside.

N-12 is eating grass, N-07 is drinking water, and N-15 is resting.

The cows stood quietly in their compartments.

Some were ruminating, while others were dozing.

Black Fang lay outside, while Ling Feng was in the sky.

The temperature control system hummed, and the ventilation system whirred.

An automatic feeding system that delivers feed at set times.

All equipment operates automatically according to the set program, requiring no human intervention.

Su Chen turned and walked back to the main house.

Lock the key to the breeding area in the safe in the study.

The safe was bought before.

It was placed behind the bookcase, embedded in the wall, and covered by a painting.

Only Su Chen knows the password.

Emma compiled today's patrol log into a document and stored it on the ranch's encrypted server.

The server was located in the basement of the main house.

An additional security door was added, and the lock uses both fingerprint and password.

This document archives the medical examination report and test data.

The paper copy is locked in the veterinary station's safe.

The electronic version is stored on an encrypted USB drive.

By the time the three of them finished their tasks, it was already evening.

Su Chen stood at the entrance of the main house, looking at the breeding area in the distance.

Black Fang was still lying there, while Ling Feng was still in the sky.

everything is normal.

......

Ben spread out the pedigree records on the table; it was a thick stack.

Each cow's pedigree, purity, genetic stability, and meat quality score.

It's all on top.

Su Chen sat opposite him, turning the pages one by one.

He pointed to the data in the file and said:

"N-12 has the highest genetic stability and is suitable for use as a primary breeding bull."

"N-07 and N-15 are used for assisted breeding to ensure genetic diversity; we cannot use only one bull."

Su Chen nodded.

"Have you calculated the inbreeding index?"

"I've already calculated it."

Ben pulled a form out of the file.

"The inbreeding index of the fifteen cows and N-12 is all within the safe range."

"The lowest is only three percent, and the highest is less than eight percent, which is far below the warning line for inbreeding."

Emma was taking notes.

The number, purity, genetic stability, and inbreeding index of each breeding combination were all entered into the computer.

A mating plan table was generated.
