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

At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Chen stood in front of the exclusive barn of the top-quality cattle herd.

Ten top-quality beef cattle are leisurely enjoying their breakfast.

Each one was plump and strong, with glossy fur and faint marble patterns under its skin.

Data on the system panel shows that the meat quality of these ten cows is consistently at the top grade, with all indicators meeting the standards.

[Top-quality cattle herd status]

Quantity: 10

Meat quality: Premium (stable)

Average weight: 1350 pounds

Marble Pattern Rating: 8.5/10

[Nutritional Information: 22% protein, 18% fat, and 40% more iron than regular beef]

[Tip: The quality of our premium cattle herd is consistently high; we recommend expanding our operations.]

Su Chen looked through the list of candidate cattle herds that Emma had compiled.

The 15 high-quality beef cattle were all carefully selected from the existing herd.

The meat has reached the target weight and is in good health; the meat quality optimization process has reached 45%.

He walked to the temporary barn for the candidate cattle herd, where 15 cattle were grazing.

He activated the Beast King Affinity and sensed the physical condition of each of them.

The digestive system is normal, and the muscle growth rate is ideal.

When fat deposition has just begun, the marble pattern is not yet very obvious.

Su Chen said to Emma.

"This batch of cattle has a good foundation."

"But it's still not quite at the top level; we need to accelerate the optimization."

"What are you planning to do?"

"We will continue with the current plan: premium forage, spring water, and mineral supplements."

"Add some unsaturated fatty acids to enhance the taste and nutritional value."

Emma took notes in her notebook.

"What about the feed formulation?"

"Protein 16%, fat 8%, fiber 12%, similar to the formula for second-stage calves, but the total amount needs to be increased."

"Each animal is fed four times a day, three kilograms each time."

Su Chen opened the system store and found the "Premium Cattle Herd Conversion Card".

[Premium Cattle Conversion Card: Accelerates the conversion of high-quality beef cattle to premium grade by 50%, 1500 points per card, limited to 5 cards per purchase.]

Buy all five tickets, 7500 points.

Su Chen felt a little heartbroken, but the money had to be spent.

Premium beef is currently the ranch's core source of income; the larger the scale, the higher the profits.

After receiving the conversion card, he added the conversion agent to the drinking water of the candidate cattle herd, following the system prompts.

[Premium Cattle Herd Conversion Card Now Active]

[Speed ​​of improving the meat quality of candidate cattle herds increased by 50%]

Estimated conversion time: 10 days

[Tip: During the conversion period, it is recommended to use a customized feeding plan to maximize the effect.]

He spent another 500 points to redeem a batch of unsaturated fatty acid supplements, which he then mixed into the feed according to the specified ratio.

"Emma, ​​starting today, record the progress of meat quality improvement of the candidate cattle herds every day and compare them with the existing top-quality cattle herds."

"it is good."

"Also, this batch of cattle should be raised separately from the existing top-quality cattle herd to avoid cross-infection."

"I told Juan to build another dedicated livestock shed next door."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Juan and Luis began to build the new barn.

The building features a steel frame, insulated walls, non-slip flooring, and is equipped with automatic feeding and watering systems.

It is the same size as the existing top-quality cattle sheds, capable of accommodating 20 cattle.

Su Chen kept an eye on the construction progress while arranging for the pet team to patrol the surrounding area to prevent other cattle from getting close.

Black Fang led his wolf pack and set up a cordon around the livestock shed.

Lingfeng monitors the activity within a two-kilometer radius from high altitude.

At 2 p.m., the new livestock shed was completed.

Su Chen instructed Juan and Luis to move the 15 candidate cattle over.

They adopt the same feeding program as the top-quality cattle herds.

The first batch of premium cattle were fed with top-quality feed.

The spring water is freshly dispensed daily, and mineral supplements are added precisely in proportion.

The candidate cattle were eating with great relish, and the meat quality optimization progress on the system panel began to jump faster.

The veterinarian arrived and performed a physical examination on the candidate cattle herd.

This report was handed to Su Chen.

"In good health, with no risk of disease."

"However, I have a suggestion: add an appropriate amount of selenium to this batch of cattle."

"selenium?"

"Yes, it can enhance the antioxidant capacity of beef, extend its shelf life, and also improve its taste and nutritional value."

"Montana's soil is generally deficient in selenium, and the amount in pasture is insufficient, so it needs to be supplemented."

Su Chen nodded.

"Please help me buy the supplements, any price is fine."

"Okay, I'll bring it tomorrow."

In the evening, Su Chen stood in front of the new livestock shed, watching the 15 candidate cattle grazing.

The data on the system panel is reassuring.

[Progress of Candidate Cattle Herd Conversion]

Meat quality optimization progress: 52% (under improvement)

Estimated conversion time: 9 days

[Health Status: Excellent]

Loyalty: 87%

He then went to check on the existing top-quality cattle herds.

Ten cows lay quietly in the barn, ruminating on their dinner, their coats gleaming under the lamplight.

He patted the lead cow, and it raised its head and rubbed its nose against Su Chen's palm.

"After a while, you'll be ready to be sold."

Su Chen walked out of the livestock shed, and Ling Feng descended from the sky and landed on his shoulder.

Black Fang led his pack on patrol in the distance, occasionally letting out a few low howls.

My phone vibrated.

John the Butcher sent a message.

"Su Chen, when can the premium beef be delivered?"

"My clients are pressing me hard."

Su Chen replied.

"In a while, there will be 25 top-quality cows. Can you handle eating them all?"

John replied instantly.

"25 heads? Are you sure!?"

"Confirmed," Su Chen said.

"I can eat it all! I'll take as much as you can!"

"The price remains $500 per pound, not a penny less!"

Su Chen smiled and turned off his phone.

25 top-quality cattle, each weighing 1350 pounds, for a total weight of 33750 pounds.

At $500 per pound, the total price is close to $1700 million.

After deducting costs, the net profit is at least 1500 million.

With this money in hand, the ranch's expansion plan can be fully launched.

......

At five o'clock in the morning, Su Chen was woken up by a phone call.

"Mr. Su, I'm Anderson from the ranch next door."

"My cattle showed signs of foot-and-mouth disease last night, and I have already reported it to the town."

"You need to be vigilant over there and prevent the disease from spreading."

Su Chen instantly regained consciousness.

"Are you sure it's foot-and-mouth disease?"

"The veterinarian confirmed that all three cows had blisters on their tongues and hooves."

"The town government just issued a notice that all five surrounding ranches are under quarantine."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen immediately got up, dressed, and ran to the livestock shed.

Foot-and-mouth disease is one of the most feared diseases of cattle. It is highly contagious, and once it spreads, the entire ranch will suffer.

He called the veterinarian Ben as he ran.

"Ben, there's a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak at the ranch next door. You need to come over right away."

"I'll be there in twenty minutes."

Su Chen then called Emma, ​​Juan, Louis, Old Jack, and Tom one by one, asking them to come to the main house for a meeting immediately.

Fifteen minutes later, everyone had arrived.

Su Chen stood in front of the whiteboard, his expression serious.

"A foot-and-mouth disease outbreak has occurred on the ranch next door, which is less than five miles away from us."

"From this moment forward, the ranch is entering a state of emergency for disease prevention!"
