Chapter 36: Purification Concludes, Breeding Cattle Begin to Emerge
Su Chen turned off the panel and touched each calf.
Eighteen heads, all met the standards.
Emma walked over from the direction of the main house, carrying measuring tools.
She pushed open the gate, glanced at the calf's condition, and then took out a notebook from her bag.
"Let's begin."
Su Chen nodded, walked to the first calf, and pressed down on its neck.
The calf was docile and stood still.
Emma took out a measuring tape and measured her body length. From the shoulder blade to the hip, she stretched it out and read the measurement.
"Seven feet two inches."
She was also measured tall, from her hooves to the top of her shoulder blades.
"Four feet eight inches."
Use a soft measuring tape to measure the bust size.
"Six feet five inches."
Emma wrote down the data in her notebook, then took out the accessories for the portable electronic scale from her bag.
Su Chen drove the calf up and showed its weight.
Five hundred and thirty pounds.
One after another, all eighteen calves were measured.
Emma's notebook was filled with three pages of notes.
Su Chen stood to the side watching the calf.
Each one was about the same size; none were particularly small or particularly thin.
The uniformity is very good.
Juan and Luis also came over.
Juan, shovel in hand, prepared to clean the livestock shed.
Louis carried a bucket of feed, ready to feed the cattle.
Su Chen told them to wait until Emma finished recording before they could get to work.
Emma flipped through her notebook and compiled the data.
She looked up at Su Chen.
"The average body length is 7 feet 3 inches, the average height is 4 feet 9 inches, the average chest circumference is 6 feet 6 inches, and the average weight is 535 pounds."
"What about the differences?"
"The largest one weighs 550 pounds, and the smallest one weighs 510 pounds, a difference of less than 8 percent."
Su Chen nodded.
The uniformity is better than expected.
Emma continued to record the amount of food each cow ate.
Louis poured the feed into the trough, and the calves gathered around to eat.
Emma stood by and watched, noting each cow's eating speed, amount of food, and whether it was picky about food.
The eighteen calves finished eating in less than twenty minutes.
The animal with the largest appetite ate twelve pounds of feed, while the smallest animal ate ten pounds.
Su Chen had Juan and Louis clean the livestock shed, while he and Emma went to the independent observation circle.
The observation area is located north of the livestock shed, in an open space separated by a fence.
The ground was covered with soft turf, and there was a small shed on the side that provided shade and shelter from the rain.
Su Chen instructed Hu An to drive the calves over one by one.
The calves entered the observation area, looked around, and then began to graze.
The turf is newly planted, mainly with alfalfa, and it is growing very well.
Su Chen stood by the fence, watching the calves move around in the observation circle.
It has a steady gait, powerful hooves when running, and agile turns.
Several calves were butting heads and playing, quite strong, their collisions producing a dull thud.
Emma wrote in her notebook: Excellent athletic ability.
Veterinarian Ben's car was parked at the ranch entrance. Old Jack registered him and let him through.
He parked the car in front of the main house, took the testing kit from the back seat, and walked towards the observation zone.
Su Chen went to meet him.
"Ben, over here."
Ben walked to the fence and first looked around to check the overall condition of the calves.
Its coat color, eyes, and movement are all top-notch.
"Go in."
Su Chen pushed open the fence gate.
Ben went in, squatted down, and took out a thermometer, stethoscope, and heart rate monitor from the testing kit.
The first calf cooperated and stood still.
He inserted the thermometer, waited thirty seconds, and then took it out to check.
"One hundred and one-five degrees."
Normal range.
When the stethoscope was placed on the ear, the heartbeat was steady and strong.
"Heart rate is 62 beats per minute."
The blood pressure monitor was strapped to the front of the leg, inflated, and then deflated.
"Systolic blood pressure is 110, diastolic blood pressure is 70."
One end after another, all the tests were completed.
The body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate of all eighteen calves were within the optimal range.
Ben took out blood collection needles and vacuum blood collection tubes from the testing box.
Su Chen held the calf down, found a vein on the side of its neck, inserted the needle, and the blood flowed into the test tube through the blood collection tube.
Two tubes of blood were drawn from each cow: one for routine blood tests and the other for genetic testing.
Label the blood collection tubes and put them in a portable cooler.
He stood up and looked at Su Chen.
"I've been a veterinarian for twenty years, and I've seen plenty of good cattle in Montana."
"You're in the top three of this batch."
"Top three?"
"First," Ben said.
"The other two are second."
Su Chen didn't reply.
He closed the testing box and picked it up.
"I'll take the blood sample back to the clinic for testing; the results will be available tomorrow."
"The genetic testing needs to be sent to the state university lab, which will take about a week."
"cost?"
"I'll treat you. With cattle of this quality, just being able to participate in the testing is a bonus."
Ben drove away.
Su Chen instructed Juan to drive the calves from the observation pen back to the barn, and arranged for Louis to clean the observation pen in preparation for using them again tomorrow.
After Emma finished organizing the data, she handed the notebook to Su Chen.
Su Chen flipped through it.
The data for each cow is listed above.
Body length, height, chest circumference, weight, body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Other factors include food intake and athletic performance.
"Make them into files, one folder for each cow."
Emma nodded and went back to the main house to do it.
Su Chen walked to the livestock shed for the candidate breeding cattle.
The eighteen calves have returned to their places; some are ruminating, some are drinking water, and some are resting on the ground.
Su Chen looked around and, after confirming that there was nothing unusual, returned to the main house.
Hei Feng followed to the door and lay down on the porch.
Ling Feng flew up from the roof and headed towards the fence.
Su Chen pushed open the study door and sat down at the desk.
The system panel pops up automatically.
Side Quest: Purification of Superior Breed Calves
[Task Objective: Achieve a variety purity of 90%]
Current progress: 90%
[Task Status: Completed]
[Reward: 1 Breeding Cattle Manual, 5000 points]
[Note: The host has completed the purification of the superior breed of calves and can proceed to the next stage: official registration of the breeding cattle]
Su Chen turned off the panel, took the cultivation plan left by Robert from the bookshelf, and turned to the last page.
The projected target was 85% purity, but it actually reached 90%.
The target was exceeded.
Su Chen sent Robert a message: The calf purification is complete, with a purity of 90%. Please come for identification when it is convenient.
After sending the message, Su Chen went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water and stood by the window to look outside.
The lights in the barn were still on, and Juan and Luis were tidying up their tools.
The lights in Emma's main house were on, and there were shadows moving behind the curtains.
My phone vibrated.
Robert replied.
Arrive in three days.
Su Chen put down his phone and went to check out the treasure room.
Dazhuang was lying at the entrance of the secret room. When he saw Su Chen, he rubbed his head against Su Chen's hand.
Su Chen patted Da Zhuang's head and turned to go back into the house.
Lying in bed, Su Chen closed his eyes and went over his plans for tomorrow in his mind.
The calves are fed normally, the observation pen is kept clean, and the test report is pending.
Black Fang was snoring softly outside the door.
Lingfeng flew down from the roof and landed on the porch railing.
Su Chen turned over and went to sleep.
The next morning, Su Chen went to the livestock shed to check on the calves.
All eighteen calves are in good condition, and some have already run around in the activity area.
Emma came over, holding the completed file in her hand.
Eighteen folders, each with a photo of a calf and its number on the cover.
It contains detailed data, including body measurements, weight, food intake, and health records.
Su Chen flipped through it and put it on the bookshelf.
Juan and Luis started feeding the cows.
Su Chen stood by and watched. The calves ate very quickly; their feed contained high-protein supplements and high-calcium mineral powder.
After feeding the cows, Su Chen went to the Spirit Spring area.
Dazhuang was drinking water by the spring, Heifeng was patrolling the fence with his pack of wolves, and Lingfeng was circling in the sky.
everything is normal.
Su Chen returned to the main house, opened the system panel, and checked the calf's real-time data.
[Status of the herd of high-quality calves]
Variety purity: 90% (stable)
Average daily weight gain: 1.35 pounds
[Health Status: Excellent]
[Meat quality optimization progress: 93%]
[Note: Breed purity has reached its peak; it is recommended to proceed with the breeding cattle grading process.]
Su Chen turned off the panel and went to check the observation area.
The lawn is growing well, the shed is clean, and the water dispenser has water.
In the afternoon, Ben called.
"The blood test results are in, and everything is normal."
"Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin are all within the optimal range."
"What about genetic testing?"
"It's been sent to the state university; the results should be available in five days at the earliest."
Su Chen thanked him and hung up the phone.
For the next two days, Su Chen went to the livestock shed to check on the calves every morning.
During the day, he handled the daily affairs of the ranch, and at night he reviewed the breeding materials left by Robert.
On the morning of the third day, Robert parked his car at the entrance to the ranch.
