Chapter 78 Cattle Training: Establishing Order Through Scientific Grazing
Su Chen gathered all the employees in front of the livestock shed to deploy a training plan for zoned grazing of the cattle.
Old Tom stood in front, holding a map of the six major pastoral areas.
"The core of the training is three things: to familiarize the cattle with the boundaries of the pasture, to familiarize them with the location of the watering points, and to obey the commands to drive the cattle."
Su Chen continued:
"Today's training was all day. Old Tom and I led the team, with Juan and Luis assisting, and the Black Fang Wolf Pack was responsible for herding cattle on the perimeter."
Juan asked, "Which district should we start with?"
Old Tom pointed to the map.
"First, gather the cattle in the central open space, and then lead them through the six major pastoral areas in order."
"We'll spend half an hour in each area to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings."
Five hundred cattle were driven out of the barn by Juan and Luis.
They were gathered in the open space in front of the livestock shed.
The cattle huddled together, looking somewhat uneasy, their heads darting around as they gazed about.
Su Chen stood in front of the herd of cattle and activated the Beast King Affinity.
Warm energy radiates outwards.
The cattle gradually quieted down, lowered their heads, and stopped moving around.
"Walk."
Su Chen walked ahead, heading towards Emergency Pasture Area No. 1.
The cattle followed Su Chen.
Black Fang led his wolf pack to guard both sides of the cattle herd, preventing them from wandering off and crossing the area.
Juan and Luis walked behind the herd of cattle.
He was holding a cattle-driving stick.
But it wasn't used much; the cattle just followed on their own.
The gate to Pasture Area No. 1 was open, and Su Chen walked in, followed by the herd of cattle.
Five hundred cattle were crammed into pasture No. 1, making it somewhat crowded, but the herd remained calm.
Su Chen led the cattle to the automatic water trough, squatted down, and patted the trough.
Several cows gathered around and lowered their heads to drink water.
Other cows saw this and followed.
"Let them remember that there is water here."
Old Tom recorded on the monitoring board:
In Pasture No. 1, the cattle adapted well to their first grazing.
The cattle began to graze.
The pasture in Pasture No. 1 is not lush, but it is enough to feed 500 cows for one meal.
Su Chen observed the feeding behavior of the cattle.
Most of the cows lowered their heads and ate voraciously, while a few looked around furtively.
Half an hour later, Su Chen whistled.
The cattle raised their heads when they heard the whistle.
Su Chen turned and walked toward the fence gate, the herd of cattle following him.
The black-haired wolf pack gently drove the cattle out of pasture No. 1 without incident.
"Go to Pasture No. 2."
Su Chen walked ahead.
Pasture No. 2 is the core grazing area.
The pasture is lush and green.
The cattle immediately lowered their heads and began to eat voraciously as soon as they entered.
Some of the cows even started running, vying to eat the tenderest tips of the grass.
Su Chen led them to the water trough.
This time, no guidance was needed; the cows simply walked over to drink the water.
"They've memorized what the water trough looks like."
Old Tom smiled.
Pasture No. 3 is located near an irrigation canal.
The soil is moist, and the pasture has sufficient moisture.
The cattle ate very quickly after entering the herd.
Take a few bites, look up, and then continue eating.
Pasture No. 4 is located on the western slope.
The terrain is flat and offers a wide view.
Once inside, the cattle relaxed, and some even lay down to rest for a while.
Area 5 is a rest grazing area. Su Chen only led the cattle to stay at the border and did not go in.
"This is a restricted area; you cannot enter."
Su Chen stood outside the fence.
The cattle peered through the fence at the pasture inside, looking restless.
But since Su Chen didn't speak, Niu Qun didn't dare to go in.
Pasture No. 6 is located next to the border forest area, where there are large trees providing shade.
The cattle were in their best condition after entering the herd; they ate leisurely and lay down comfortably.
I visited all six major pastoral areas.
The cattle herd had gained a preliminary understanding of the location, boundaries, and watering points of each section.
Su Chen began formal training on the rotational herding process.
First, drive the cattle into pasture area No. 1 and let them graze for half an hour. Then, whistle and move them to the next area.
During the first relocation, the cattle reacted slowly, and it took three whistles before they started moving.
Juan and Luis followed quietly from behind.
The Black Fang wolf pack surrounded them from both sides.
The cattle slowly walked out of pasture area 1 and into pasture area 2.
The second time they moved, the whistle was blown twice, and the herd began to move.
On the third transfer, after blowing the whistle once, the cattle walked towards the fence gate on their own.
"The training was effective."
Old Tom wrote in his notebook.
"The cattle herd's response to whistle commands has noticeably improved."
Su Chen set up a fixed signal for herding cattle.
A short whistle means "get ready to move".
Two short whistles signify "begin the transfer".
A long whistle means "stop".
After repeated training, the cattle herd was able to accurately distinguish the three signals.
Juan was responsible for recording the grazing times of the cattle.
It is strictly implemented according to a 7-day cycle.
He wrote on the monitoring sign:
Pasture No. 1: Grazing start time and estimated end time.
Louis monitored the grazing of pasture in each pasture area.
After the cattle left, he squatted down to check the height of the remaining hay.
"They ate it quite badly; less than five centimeters of hay are left."
Louis Report.
Old Tom went over to take a look.
"Next time, shorten the grazing time by half a day so the cattle eat less."
Lingfeng monitors the cattle herd from high above.
Several cows were spotted approaching the fence of grazing area number 5, attempting to squeeze through.
Ling Feng called out.
Su Chen immediately received the signal and rushed to the scene.
Black Fang had already arrived, standing in front of the fence, growling.
Upon seeing Black Fang, the cattle obediently retreated to Pasture Area No. 4.
The Black Fang wolf pack skillfully controlled the rhythm of herding cattle.
Cooperate with employees to complete the relocation of pastoral areas.
Juan led the way.
Black Fang followed behind.
The cattle herd moves quickly and without disorder.
Some mischievous cows tried to roam freely, squeezing into the gaps in the fence when the staff weren't looking.
Black Fang ran over quietly and blocked the way with his body.
The cattle obediently returned to their respective pastures.
Su Chen trained the cattle to drink water in an orderly manner at the watering points to avoid crowding and fighting.
He stood by each water dispenser for a while.
When the cattle came to drink water, he used hand gestures to guide them to line up.
After several rounds of training, the cattle developed a habit.
People automatically line up at the water fountains, without pushing or shoving.
By evening, the cattle had fully adapted to the rotational grazing pattern.
It can graze livestock in designated pastures according to instructions.
Su Chen settled the cattle herd in the No. 2 core pasture area for the night.
Close the fence gate and fill the water trough with water.
Black Fang led his wolf pack to patrol around Pasture No. 2, guarding the cattle overnight.
Lingfeng landed on the tallest tree in the pastoral area.
He dozed off with his neck tucked in, but his ears were perked up, ready to listen for any sound.
Su Chen stood outside Pasture No. 2, watching the cattle lying quietly on the pasture.
The training was successfully completed.
Starting tomorrow, the rotational grazing cycle will officially begin.
Su Chen turned and walked towards the main house.
Old Tom followed.
"Boss Su, I've finalized the rotational grazing schedule for the six major pastoral areas. We'll begin implementing it tomorrow."
"OK."
Old Tom said again:
"Pasture monitoring also needs to keep up. Louis can't handle it all by himself; we need to add another person."
Su Chen thought for a moment.
"Let Juan help out, the two of them can take turns."
Old Tom nodded.
The two arrived at the entrance of the main house, and Su Chen pushed the door open.
My phone vibrated; it had sent me a message:
"After rotational grazing is implemented, remember to send me the pasture recovery data every day, and I will help you analyze it."
Su Chen replied, "Okay."
He went into the study and opened his notebook.
Rotational herding training is complete; it will officially begin tomorrow.
