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

Su Chen drove back to the ranch.

I called Emma on the way and asked her to prepare to verify the venue.

It was already evening when we arrived at the ranch.

Su Chen first went to check on the cattle shed and found that the eighteen calves were in normal condition.

Then go find Juan and ask him to thoroughly clean up the cattle sheds and activity area tomorrow.

The next morning, Juan and Luis started working.

All the manure in the livestock shed was cleaned up, the ground was washed, and new hay was laid down.

Weeds were removed from the activity area, the soft turf was trimmed neatly, and the water dispensers were cleaned and disinfected.

Emma created informational displays about the breeding cattle.

Each board is labeled with the calf's number, breed purity, weight, and body measurements, and is posted on the wall of the livestock shed.

Su Chen inspected the condition of the three top-grade breeding cattle.

N-12 has the brightest coat color, N-07 is the strongest, and N-15 is the most active.

All three are in great condition.

The verification personnel arrived on the morning of the third day.

Two people, one old and one young.

The older man, probably in his fifties, surnamed Davis, was a senior inspector for the state livestock association.

The young man, in his early thirties, was his assistant.

Su Chen led them to the cattle shed.

Davis stood by the fence, taking a look at the overall picture first.

Eighteen calves were in the activity area; some were grazing, some were walking around, and some were lying down to rest.

"Hurry them out and look at them one by one."

Su Chen told Hu An to drive the calf out.

Davis walked around the first animal, N-01, twice to observe its body shape, gait, and coat color.

Then reach out and touch your back, ribs, and thighs.

"Next."

N-02, the same procedure. Go around twice and touch it once.

Davis observed each one very carefully.

When he got to N-07, he took a second look.

"This one is good."

When the N-12 came out, Davis touched it for a long time.

He started from the shoulder blades to the base of the tailbone, from the ribs to the spine, and then squatted down to touch the leg bones and hooves.

"What kind of data is this?"

Su Chen handed over the display board that Emma had made.

Davis looked at the purity, weight, and body measurements, but didn't say anything.

N-15 was also passed, and Davis touched it twice more.

After examining all eighteen cows, Davis took the testing equipment from his assistant and drew blood from three of them.

One tube each of N-12, N-07, and N-15 was drawn.

The on-site testing took more than ten minutes before the results were displayed on the screen.

Davis looked at the data and compared it with Robert's report; the data matched.

He took out the verification report and filled it out.

Ranch Name: Sunset Ranch.

Number of breeding cattle: 18.

Variety: Angus.

Grade: Top-tier breeding cattle at the state level.

The remarks column reads: "Three of them are of outstanding quality and we recommend applying for national-level superior breeding cattle status."

Davis signed it, and his assistant also signed it.

He handed the verification report to Su Chen.

"Approved. The certificate will be sent to your ranch within fifteen business days."

Su Chen took the report.

Davis packed up his equipment and prepared to leave. As he reached the door, he glanced back at the livestock shed.

"Mr. Su, your cattle are a rare sight even in the entire state of Montana."

"Thanks."

Davis got in the car and left.

Su Chen returned to the main house and put the verification report together with the previous materials.

Emma came over and looked at the notes on the report.

"Can these three top-grade breeding cattle be submitted for national-level certification?"

"Let's talk about it after we get the certificate."

Su Chen asked the veterinarian to come over and conduct a comprehensive physical examination on the breeding cattle after registration.

Ben, with his assistant, spent an entire afternoon inspecting all eighteen cows.

Body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood routine tests were all normal.

He said something as he left.

"Your cattle are getting better and better."

Su Chen adjusted the feed ratio for the breeding cattle, increasing the intake of unsaturated fatty acid supplements and vitamin E.

Juan mixed the feed according to the new formula, and Luis was responsible for feeding it.

Old Jack posted a notice in the guardhouse: Breeding cattle area, outsiders are prohibited from entering.

Su Chen stood in front of the cattle shed, watching eighteen calves grazing leisurely in the activity area.

Emma walked over, holding a statistics sheet in her hand.

"All verifications passed; certificates will arrive within fifteen days."

Su Chen nodded.

"The separate barn for the three top-grade breeding cattle will begin construction tomorrow."

"Go and do it."

Emma turned and walked away.

Su Chen pushed open the gate and went inside.

N-12 came over and rubbed his nose against his hand.

Su Chen patted its head.

......

Su Chen held a breeding planning meeting in the living room of the main house.

Emma, ​​veterinarian Ben, Juan, and Luis are all here.

Su Chen projected the data of the eighteen Sunset Divine Oxen onto the wall.

The purity, weight, body size, and marbling score of each cow are clearly displayed.

"Breeding priority: three-headed premium breed beef steaks are number one."

Su Chen pointed to N-12, N-07, and N-15 on the projection.

Emma took notes in her notebook.

Robert connected via remote video. On the screen, Robert was wearing glasses and holding a document.

"The principles of scientific breeding are to mate the best with the best, strictly control the quantity, and ensure quality," Robert said.

"Each breeding bull will be bred for the first time, with the number of cows controlled between five and eight."

"How do you choose a cow?" Su Chen asked.

Robert pulled up a list.

"Select from your ranch's high-quality beef cattle herd, choosing those with the highest purity, best health, and most standard body shape."

Emma had already prepared the list of cows in advance.

Twenty high-quality cows, each with its number, age, weight, and health data all listed in the table.

Su Chen threw the list onto the wall, and Robert looked at it.

"These twenty are fine."

"In the first round, ten bulls will be mated, with each bull mated with three to four bulls. The remaining bulls will be mated in the second round."

Emma began recording breeding combinations.

N-12 is paired with cows A-03, A-07, and A-11.

N-07 is paired with cows A-01, A-05, and A-09.

N-15 is paired with cows A-02, A-06, and A-10.

Emma clearly marked the cow number corresponding to each breeding cow.

He stood up and explained the pre-breeding disease prevention requirements.

Both breeding cattle and cows must undergo a comprehensive physical examination to rule out reproductive diseases such as brucellosis and tuberculosis.

The mating area must be thoroughly disinfected, and mating instruments must be sterilized.

Juan was in charge of cleaning the breeding area.

The breeding area is located east of the cattle shed, in a separate area enclosed by a fence.

The ground was covered with soft sand, and a simple shed was built on the side.

Juan reinforced the fence, washed the ground inside the shed clean, and laid down fresh dry straw.

Louis prepares special feed for the breeding season.

The feed for breeding cattle contains high-protein and high-energy supplements, while the feed for cows contains folic acid and vitamin E.

Su Chen went to the cattle shed to check on the condition of the three top-grade breeding cattle.

N-12 was strolling around the activity area when it saw Su Chen walking over and nuzzled his hand with its nose.

N-07 lay on the ground ruminating, and when it saw Su Chen stand up, it shook its fur.

N-15 was drinking water, and after finishing, he looked up at Su Chen.

This is a final pre-breeding check for three breeding bulls.

Body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood routine tests were all normal.

Reproductive system examination showed good development and met the breeding requirements.

"We can match them now," Ben said.

The first round of mating has officially begun.

Su Chen stood outside the mating area, supervising the entire process.

Juan drove N-12 into the mating area, and Luis drove cow A-03 in.

N-12 was very proactive and completed the task quickly.

Emma stood by, timing and recording.

Write down the time, combination, and number of matings clearly.

After mating, Juan drove N-12 back to the barn, and Luis drove cow A-03 to the separate resting area.

The resting area is located north of the breeding area. It is a quiet space enclosed by a fence, with sheds, water, grass, and dedicated staff to look after it.

The second group consists of N-12s paired with A-07s.

The same process.

The third group consists of N-12s paired with A-11s.

After the three groups are completed, N-12 will rest.

Juan supplemented it with high-energy feed, and N-12 lay down to ruminate after eating.

Next up is N-07.

Equipped with A-01, A-05, A-09.

The N-07 was slightly slower than the N-12, but it went smoothly as well.

Emma wrote it all down.

Finally, there's N-15.

Equipped with A-02, A-06, A-10.

N-15 was the most active and the fastest to equip.

The first round of mating of nine groups took two days.

We check the cows' physical condition every day.

The third day after mating.

An ultrasound scan showed clear signs of pregnancy in A-03, A-07, A-01, and A-02.

On the fifth day, a second check-up was conducted.

Of the nine cows, seven were confirmed to be pregnant.

The conception success rate is 78%, far exceeding the industry average of 60%.

Robert laughed in the video when he learned the result.

"This success rate is among the best in the United States."

Su Chen finalized the second round of mating plans.

The remaining ten high-quality cows, plus the two that didn't get mated in the first round, make a total of twelve.

Each of the three top-grade breeding cattle is paired with four others.

The second round went smoothly as well.

Of the twelve cows, nine became pregnant.

After two rounds of breeding, the three top-grade breeding bulls bred a total of twenty-one cows, with sixteen becoming pregnant.

Emma drew up a breeding schedule and hung it on the wall of the study in the main house.

Each cow's number, breeding stock, mating time, and confirmation of pregnancy time are clearly marked.

Juan reinforced the fence around the breeding area by adding a double layer of barbed wire.

Louis adjusted the environment of the rest area, laying thick hay in the shed and replacing the water dispenser with a constant temperature one.

Su Chen goes to the rest area to check on the pregnant cows every day.

All sixteen cows are in good condition, with normal appetite and activity, and no signs of abortion.

I come once a week to have an ultrasound to check the fetal development.

The fetus's size, heartbeat, and position are all normal.

Su Chen stood by the fence of the rest area, watching sixteen pregnant cows grazing on the grass.

The first mating of the Sunset Cow has been successfully completed.

Emma walked over, holding a breeding schedule in her hand.

"Sixteen cows are pregnant and are expected to give birth next spring."

Su Chen nodded.

"At that time, the first generation of Sunset Divine Ox will be born."

Su Chen didn't say anything, and turned back to the main house.

Hei Feng followed, and Ling Feng descended from the sky, landing on his shoulder.

Su Chen pushed open the study door and sat down at the desk.

The system panel pops up:

[Side Quest: Population Expansion Initiated]

[Task Objective: Complete the first round of mating, with ≥10 pregnant cows]

Current progress: 16/10

[Task Status: Completed]

[Rewards: Breeding Acceleration Card x1, 3000 points]

Su Chen turned off the control panel and leaned back in his chair.

Outside the window, the lights of the ranch gradually came on.

......

Emma is organizing breeding results in the ranch office.

She compiled all the identification reports, mating records, and conception data of the eighteen Sunset Divine Cows into a complete breeding achievement report.

Three copies were printed: one for archives, one for Su Chen, and one for display in the exhibition area for visitors to consult.

While exchanging ideas at the town's veterinary station, Ben chatted with several colleagues about the Sunset Cow.

He mentioned the purity of the breed, weight data, and mating success rate.

The news spread very quickly.

That afternoon, agricultural supplier Luke drove to the ranch.
