Chapter 87 Simple Livestock Sheds, Backup Breeding Area
Su Chen welcomed all comers and arranged for Old Tom to give a comprehensive explanation.
I will teach you the key points of improved breeding and rotational grazing for free.
The rancher himself and the workers were among those who came.
There were both men and women, ranging in age from their twenties to their sixties.
Some people were taking notes, while others were recording videos with their phones.
Some people even brought a bag of soil and asked Old Tom to help them test the pH value.
Ranch reputation continues to rise.
When Su Chen arrived in town, people who knew him greeted him.
Even supermarket cashiers will ask, "How's the ranch doing lately?"
Mayor George announced that the improved model of Sunset Ranch would be promoted throughout the town.
He posted a notice at the entrance of the town government building.
The improvement case of Su Chen Ranch was used as a model to encourage other ranchers to learn from it.
The state agricultural bureau called ahead of schedule, moving the inspection originally scheduled for next month to next week.
Su Chen instructed Emma to organize all the data on the improvement zone, in preparation for showing it to the inspection team later.
The cattle herds had more grazing and their growth rate was significantly faster.
The new pasture has good grass quality, which the cattle love to eat. They eat and drink their fill every day, and their condition improves day by day.
The meat quality of the offspring of the Sunset Cow continues to improve.
The numbers on the system panel are jumping much faster than before.
The new pasture is completely stable and can support cattle herds in a long-term and stable manner.
Su Chen stood in the middle of the improvement area, with thick turf under his feet and lush green pasture all around.
Three hundred acres of wasteland have been completely brought to life.
......
The improved zone operated stably for a period of time.
Su Chen decided to build a simple reserve livestock shed in the center.
Old Tom designed an open-plan shed scheme.
Steel structure support, color steel roof.
The concrete pillars are open on all sides for ventilation.
The ground was hardened with cement.
These sheds are low-cost, well-ventilated, and easy to clean up manure.
Suitable as a temporary settlement for reserve breeding areas.
The planned building area is 1500 square meters and can accommodate 150 head of beef cattle.
The location was chosen in the improved area, at the center of the three small rotational grazing areas.
It makes it convenient to move cattle from any neighborhood.
Su Chen contacted Mike from the construction team.
Mike quoted $18,000 over the phone, including labor and materials, with a ten-day completion time.
Su Chen didn't haggle and told him to get in as soon as possible.
Three days later, the construction team brought materials to the site and began the construction work.
Juan, along with temporary workers, cleaned the site in advance.
Clear away the weeds and pebbles, and level the ground.
Mike's workers erected the steel structure support.
One by one, the pillars were driven into the ground and fixed with concrete.
After the scaffolding was erected, the corrugated steel roof was laid.
Workers climbed up the scaffolding and laid the corrugated steel sheets one by one, securing them with screws.
The corrugated steel roof is dark gray and reflects light in the sunlight.
The ground was hardened with cement.
The mixer roared as it poured concrete onto the ground, which the workers then smoothed out with trowels.
The cement floor is ten centimeters thick, which is sturdy enough.
The cows won't damage it, and it will also make it easier to clean up the manure and disinfect later.
The automatic drinking fountain has been installed and is directly connected to the Lingquan water supply pipeline.
The water trough is made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.
Juan turned on the tap and tried it.
The water flow is smooth, and the water level is automatically controlled; it stops when the water is full.
The livestock shed is centrally located, not far from the three small rotational grazing areas.
The furthest district is only about a ten-minute walk away.
When the cattle are rotated, it's not difficult to drive them.
Juan assisted the construction team in clearing the site and leveling the ground.
Louis prepared drinking water equipment, hay racks, and sterilization equipment.
Old Tom supervised the construction quality throughout the entire process, inspecting every weld and every screw.
Old Tom shook the pillar with his hand.
"The welding is fine, and the strength is sufficient."
"This shed won't collapse even after ten years."
On the fifth day, the main structure of the livestock shed was completed.
Su Chen conducted an on-site inspection, walked around the shed, and looked up at the roof.
He lowered his head and stepped on the cement floor, then checked the water trough and hay rack.
"No problem, inspection passed."
Official name: Sunset Ranch - Reserve Breeding Area.
Su Chen arranged for the thirty young cattle to be transferred first.
Young oxen are very active and energetic.
It's perfect to place it in the new pasture and the new livestock shed.
Juan drove the cattle into the shed.
The cattle looked around for a while, but quickly got used to it.
Some went to drink water, while others lay on the ground to rest; no stress response was observed.
The veterinarian will examine the hygiene conditions of the new environment.
The water trough is clean, and the ground is flat and free of standing water.
The ventilation is good, and the feces haven't accumulated yet.
The overall condition meets the standards.
"The environment is fine; it can be used for a long time."
Ben signed the inspection report.
Black Fang patrols the area around the livestock shed.
The wolf pack roamed the new area, marked the scents, and determined their patrol routes.
They patrol around the shed during the day and increase vigilance at night to ensure the safety of the young cattle.
Lingfeng's high-altitude surveillance system detected no intruders or wild animals entering the premises.
Several North American coyotes tried to approach from a distance, but upon seeing the wolf pack patrolling, they turned and ran away.
Dazhuang carried dry hay bedding.
Juan pulled several bundles of hay from the hay warehouse.
Dazhuang carried the load to the livestock shed, trip after trip, and spread it evenly on the cement floor as bedding.
Hay bedding is soft and comfortable for cows to lie on, and it can also absorb moisture from their feces.
Su Chen formulated a management system for the reserve area.
The regulations stipulate that feces should be cleaned once a day, disinfected once a week, and the equipment should be fully inspected once a month.
Juan was in charge of implementation, conducting inspections twice a day, morning and evening, and addressing any problems promptly.
The rotational grazing order across the region is more stable.
With the support of reserve breeding areas and new pastures, cattle are no longer crowded in the old pastoral areas.
The number of cattle in each pasture is controlled within a reasonable range.
There was no fighting for food, no crowding, and no running around.
The consumption of pasture is even.
The nine pastoral areas take turns grazing.
The rest period for each district exceeded ten days.
The grasslands have fully recovered, and there are no longer any instances of excessive grazing in certain areas.
The grass in the old pastoral area has also grown taller and is much thicker than before.
Emma updated the ranch facility list and registered backup livestock sheds.
She created a new spreadsheet on her computer.
Enter the location, area, capacity, construction date, and construction company of the livestock shed.
The total safe carrying capacity of the ranch has been increased to 650 head.
Old Tom recalculated it.
The grasslands of the nine pastoral areas combined, plus the supporting capacity of the reserve breeding areas.
Even with 650 cattle grazing at the same time, there will be no overcrowding.
We've taken another step closer to our goal of expanding the herd to 800 heads.
Su Chen opened the system panel and glanced at it; the herd consisted of 500 cattle.
We are still 300 short of the 800 required for the main quest.
Based on the current carrying capacity of the grasslands, buying another hundred or so head of cattle should not be a problem.
However, to reach 800 head, we need to continue expanding pastures or increasing yield per unit area.
The combination of new pastures and new livestock sheds has been fully implemented and can be put into stable use.
Su Chen stood at the entrance of the new livestock shed, looking at the thirty young cattle inside.
The cattle were leisurely grazing in the shed.
She would occasionally look up at him, her eyes gentle.
We have a reserve area and new pastures.
The next step is to buy cattle.
