Chapter 367 358. Stubborn Bull Club

Wang Bo happened to be staying at the ranch when he received the call from Motak.

He looked at the cows and sheep with his hands on his hips, and planned a plan to shear the sheep in his heart.

Romney sheep are mainly sheep that need to be sheared on the ranch, a kind of meat and wool sheep. In fact, the most common wool sheep in New Zealand is Merino sheep, and Wang Bo has not bred them for the time being.

The reason why he didn’t raise merino sheep was because he didn’t want to be troublesome. Bowen said that they used less Texas wool sheep, so the cowboys were not very good at shearing sheep, so he deliberately didn’t raise merino sheep.

Raising Romney sheep was because he had no choice at the beginning. Motak told him that this kind of sheep can be used for both wool and meat, and is resistant to rough feeding, so it is the most economical.

Shearing sheep is divided into two seasons, spring and autumn. There is no doubt that this is an important way for sheep to generate income, but besides making money, shearing sheep has other functions, which are different in different seasons and are very particular.

Among them, another reason for shearing sheep in spring is to prepare for summer and prevent heatstroke and cool down.

If the sheep are covered with thick hair in the hot summer, they will not be able to cool down effectively when the high temperature comes, which will lead to death from heat stroke in severe cases, or affect the self-regulation system in mild cases, resulting in faster breathing and reduced food intake.

Once there is a problem with the self-regulating system, the endocrine system, digestive system, and circulatory system will also have problems. Although it will not cause death, it will easily lead to stunting.

Different from spring, the reason for shearing in autumn is mainly to prevent infection. Summer is the time when bacteria, viruses and parasites are most active. In autumn, shearing exposes the skin. Taking a medicinal bath at this time can kill surface bacteria, Viruses and parasites, to protect the health of sheep.

The sheep in Sunset Ranch have not been sheared yet, because Wang Bo came to New Zealand last summer. Although the wool of the sheep grows in autumn, the cowboys have observed that the sheep are in good health and there are no parasites in the pasture. , and no sheep got sick because of bacteria or viruses, so he didn't shear.

Another reason for not shearing at that time was that there was no sheepfold on his pasture. If the sheep were not left with thick plush to keep out the cold, the sheep would probably freeze to death when the cold snap came.

While planning in his mind, Motak called: "Where are you, Wang? The business is here. I have some guys who want to go to your place to get some calves and lambs."

Wang Bo asked, "How about the cattle and sheep you bought back last time?"

Motak smiled happily: "It's great, or it's great. They like my ranch and live well there. I will buy them again when they come out of the market and make money."

In this way, Wang Bo felt relieved. He was most worried that the meat quality of cattle and sheep would decline after leaving the heart of the pasture, so he could only sell meat.

Rare things are more expensive, if only Sunset Ranch can produce high-quality beef and mutton, then he can make more money.

But if his ranch can form an industrial chain, it can lead to the development of an industry, which can give him a higher status, give the town residents the opportunity to make money, and make the town develop better.

Knowing that Wang Bo was at the ranch, Motak asked him to stay for a while, saying that they could discuss business with him on the way to the ranch.

There is money to be made, and Lao Wang has no reason to reject it. He set up a bonfire by the stream in the ranch, and put an aluminum coffee pot on the fire to make coffee. He used the stream water from the source of the spiritual spring. , Sweet and cold, the taste of the brewed coffee is extraordinary.

Porter's Pastoral House Construction Company is building the New Zealand Road, which, once completed, will connect Highway 8, China Road, pastures and residential areas. But it has not been built yet, so the pickup trucks of Motak and others can only drive to the pasture through the uneven grass.

Several ranchers got out of the car, and Motak introduced them. The ranchers were very enthusiastic about Wang Bo:

"I know, I know, who doesn't know the owner of God's Ear? Dude, I'm not a compliment guy, but I gotta say, you did a great job during the earthquake!"

"The mayor from the east, I saw him on the news, who doesn't know him now? A good guy!"

"I admire your professional ability in animal husbandry. As far as I know, the Sun Never Sets collar has never had a history of grazing for hundreds of years. You have changed all this and cultivated better breeds of cattle and sheep. It is really impressive. surprise!"

Wang Bo accepted the compliment generously. New Zealanders have not received Confucian education and do not have the idea of ​​the mean, and they cannot be courteous. If Wang Bo is modest, he will be considered not confident.

Although good words sound good, they can't make people make money. He winked at Motak, who understood and told their purpose.

These people have the same plan as Motak, fifty calves and five hundred sheep.

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Calves are fine, they can be supplied, but lambs are not, there are not so many, if you are willing to halve, then I can meet your needs."

"In terms of price?" the elder Moses asked expectantly.

"A three-month-old Angus calf costs five thousand, a Simmental six thousand. A forty-five-day-old Romney sheep is fifteen hundred, and a Boer goat calf is fourteen hundred. "Wang Bo shrugged and said, "This is the price I gave to Motak, if anyone feels that they have a deeper relationship with me than Lao Mo, they can come and negotiate with me."

For the ranchers, the price was quite high. They looked at each other in embarrassment, hoping that the other would come out to bargain, but neither jumped out first.

It was still the elder Moses who spoke, and he said: "Wang, my buddy, I know that our relationship is not as good as that of you and Lao Mo. Lao Mo is your first partner to open a ranch, but we can also be your partner." new partner."

Wang Bo didn't understand what he meant, so he paused and said the answer: "Do you know the Stubborn Bull Club? We can recommend you to join it. I believe that with the combined strength of a few of us, a rancher will definitely be able to Approved!"

Stubborn Bull Club, Wang Bo frowned slightly when he heard the name.

He knows this organization. Although it bears the word 'club', it is actually an alliance. This is a tradition in New Zealand. Many alliances and associations will be named after clubs. For example, Adams, the former president of Christie's Oceania, recommended him to join. Free route club, both sides are similar in nature.

Of course, they are only similar in nature, and the status of the two alliances is very different. The free flight club is full of elites from various industries in New Zealand, and the one with the least wealth is more important than the largest ranch in the bull club.

The Stubborn Bull Club is an alliance of all rancher groups in the South Island, and every member in it is a rancher.
