"The core breeding cattle must maintain purity, and the number of breeding stock must be controlled to avoid inbreeding."

Robert took out a long-term breeding plan, which was more than twenty pages long.

The selection criteria for breeding cattle, optimization of breeding combinations, offspring screening process, and pace of population expansion are all clearly explained.

Su Chen flipped through it once and put it on the bookshelf.

This organization has established an annual plan for the Sunset Cow's physical examination, mating, and propagation.

Comprehensive physical examinations are conducted twice a year, in spring and autumn.

The breeding season is concentrated in spring and autumn, and the number of offspring is controlled to within thirty per year.

Juan and Luis received professional training.

Ben's assistant explained the key points of daily care for breeding cattle to them.

Feed formulation, activity level control, disease observation, and breeding records.

The two studied very diligently, taking more than ten pages of notes.

Su Chen went to the rest area to see the pregnant cows.

The bellies of the sixteen cows that conceived in the first round are already quite large.

There are still about two months until the calf is born.

The bellies of fifteen second-cycle pregnant cows have just started to swell.

Su Chen planned an exclusive breeding area for the offspring of the Sunset Divine Ox.

Ten more standardized cattle sheds will be built north of the breeding cattle shed.

It is equipped with a constant temperature, humidity and ventilation system, and the floor is covered with non-slip flooring.

Emma estimated the cost to be around $120,000.

Su Chen agreed.

Old Jack increased security on the ranch.

The breeding cattle area has been double-fenced.

The entrance is equipped with facial recognition access control, and surveillance cameras are deployed in a encrypted manner.

Su Chen sent photos of the certificates and breeding cattle to high-end pre-order customers.

Customers responded enthusiastically, expressing their anticipation.

From that day on, the Sunset Divine Cow brand was officially established.

Su Chen stood in front of the cattle shed.

Eighteen breeding cattle were seen grazing leisurely in the activity area.

Emma walked over, holding the brand registration receipt in her hand.

"The logo has been submitted and is in the process of trademark registration."

Su Chen nodded.

"Construction on the dedicated aquaculture area will begin next week and is expected to be completed in one month."

Su Chen nodded again.

Emma is gone.

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.

The system panel pops up:

Brand: Sunset Divine Cow

[Brand Status: Registered (Under Review)]

[Brand Value: Preliminary estimate of approximately US$500 million]

[Tip: Brand influence can be further enhanced; participation in state-level and national-level livestock exhibitions is recommended.]

Su Chen turned off the panel.

N-12 was still rubbing against his hand.

Su Chen turned and walked out of the livestock shed.

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

Su Chen walked towards the main house.

The lights in the ranch were on.

The lights in the livestock shed were also on.

Juan and Luis were still packing up their tools.

Ben's car was parked at the entrance; he had just left.

Su Chen pushed open the door to the main house.

Emma was organizing files in the living room when she looked up at him.

"I left the registration form for tomorrow's livestock exhibition on your desk."

Su Chen nodded and went into the study.

The registration form is on the table.

He picked it up and glanced at it.

Montana's annual livestock show.

The timeframe is next month.

Location: Postman.

.......

Su Chen got up early and went to check on the cattle shed first.

The eighteen breeding cattle are in very good condition.

N-12 was wandering around the activity area when he saw Su Chen walk over and rub his hand against him.

Then we went to the rest area to see the pregnant cows.

The sixteen first-time pregnant cows are due to give birth in about a month.

Ben came yesterday and said the fetus is developing normally and is expected to give birth in the middle of next month.

Su Chen instructed Juan to prepare the necessary equipment for childbirth.

Disinfectant for calving, birthing instruments, and newborn calf care tools.

Everything was prepared and placed in the tool room next to the rest area.

Luis was in charge of the night shift, while Juan was on the day shift.

The two men took turns watching the pregnant cow, ready to assist with the delivery at any time.

Old Jack increased patrols around the ranch to prevent wild animals and outsiders from getting close to the rest area.

The first pregnant cow gave birth at 2 a.m.

Louis noticed something was wrong with the cow and quickly called Su Chen.

Su Chen got dressed and rushed to the rest area.

The cow was lying on the ground, her abdomen contracting violently; her water had broken.

Ben arrived, put on gloves, and checked the baby's position.

"Normal, head-down position, no need for assistance with delivery."

I waited for about forty minutes.

The calf's front hooves come out first, then its head, and then its whole body.

The cow licks the calf's hair.

The calf struggled to its feet, its legs were a little weak, and it couldn't stand steadily.

This person examined the calf's body.

It has pure black fur, a well-proportioned body, and a strong heartbeat.

"healthy."

Su Chen squatted down and reached out to touch the calf's back.

The calf turned its head and rubbed its nose against his hand.

The system panel pops up.

Newborn calf

[Father: N-12]

[Mother: A-03]

Variety purity: 88%

[Health Status: Excellent]

[Meat quality potential: High]

Su Chen turned off the panel.

The first offspring of the Sunset Cow has been born.

Over the next two weeks, the remaining fifteen pregnant cows gave birth one after another.

Some were born during the day, some at night, and Su Chen was always present.

All sixteen cows gave birth naturally, without any dystocia.

Sixteen newborn calves were born, all healthy, with no stillbirths.

Emma created a file for each newborn calf.

The numbers range from LZ-001 to LZ-016.

Each animal has a photo, date of birth, parents' information, weight, and body size data.

Su Chen registered all of LZ-001 to LZ-016 in the system.

[First Generation Sunset Sacred Cattle Breed]

Quantity: 16

Average variety purity: 87%

[Health Status: Excellent]

[Estimated time to market: 18 months]

[Pre-ordered quantity: 25 heads (exceeding current production capacity)]

Su Chen took photos of LZ-001 to LZ-016 and sent them to high-end pre-order customers.

Pierre replied to the email.

"The quality looks very good, looking forward to delivery."

The Wall Street tycoon's butler replied to the message.

"The customer is very satisfied."

The Hollywood star's agent replied with two words.

"pretty."

The town's news of the birth of the first generation of Sunset Cows has once again sparked heated discussions.

George brought a basket of fruit and a case of champagne to congratulate Su Chen.

Luke sent over a batch of free feed, saying it was a congratulatory gift.

Smith delivered a bottle of whiskey with a label that read "Best Rancher in Whitefish Town".

Anderson and other partner ranchers came to observe.

They observed the quality of the newborn calves.

They immediately placed an order for another twenty doses of diuretic.

Su Chen gave a brief reception to the people who came to offer their congratulations, but did not allow them to enter the breeding cattle area.

All newborn calves drink spring water and eat high-quality forage.

Su Chen checked on each calf every day and recorded the condition of each one.

Emma compiled the ranch's population data.

Su Chen stood in the center of the ranch.

Watching the first-generation calves in the rest area grazing on the grass.

Sixteen calves, with glossy coats, well-proportioned bodies, and full of vitality.

Black Fang stood beside him, while Ling Feng circled in the sky.

Dazhuang walked over from the Spirit Spring area and lay down next to Su Chen.

Juan and Luis were tidying up their tools in the barn.

Old Jack was registering entry and exit records at the guardhouse.

Emma is organizing documents in the main house's living room.

Su Chen turned and walked back.

Black Fang followed.

Ling Feng descended from the sky and landed on his shoulder.

Dazhuang stood up and followed behind him.

Su Chen pushed open the door to the main house.

Emma looked up at him.

"The first generation has all been born, sixteen heads in total, all healthy."

Su Chen nodded and went into the study.

The system panel pops up:

Main Quest: Ranch Ecosystem Optimization

[Grassland greening rate: 80%/80% (completed)]

Herd size: 479/500 head (incomplete)

[Treasure Hunt: Completed]

Task progress: 80%

[Note: Once the herd reaches 500 head, the next stage of the main quest will be unlocked.]

Su Chen turned off the panel.

Twenty-one more are needed.

He glanced out the window.

In the rest area, the first generation of calves are still grazing.

Inside the cattle shed, eighteen breeding cattle are resting.

The pregnant cow's belly grew bigger every day.

......

Su Chen pushed open the door and walked towards the exclusive livestock shed for top-quality cattle.

Black Fang stood up from the porch and followed behind him.

Lingfeng flew up from the roof and hovered in the air.

The livestock shed is located on the east side of the ranch, about 200 meters from the main house.

Su Chen walked over, and Juan was already cleaning the cowshed.

Twenty-five Sunset God Oxen stood in the cowshed, their coats glossy and their bodies well-proportioned.

The system panel popped up in my mind.

[Sunset Sacred Cow Population Status]

Quantity: 25

[Meat Quality Grade: Top Grade (Stable)]

Average weight: 1350 pounds

[Health Status: Excellent]

Su Chen pushed open the gate and went inside.

N-12 was grazing when it saw Su Chen walking over and nuzzled his arm with its nose.

Su Chen patted its head.

The system panel jumped again.

[Note: The cattle show no signs of stress, and the meat quality indicators are stable, making them suitable for slaughter.]
