Happy Little Mayor

In the afternoon, a large fleet of animal husbandry was coming, all with large tractors with two-section trailers. From an oblique side, it seemed that a train was coming.

Livestock trailers commonly used in New Zealand have a length of nineteen and a half and a width of three meters and eight meters. They are not powerful enough to pull the tractor head.

Each trailer has three levels of upper, middle and lower levels. Different styles of cages are used to transport different livestock. Now yaks are transported and cattle cages are used.

The white yak is very strong. The adult bull is 121 cm tall and weighs 260 kg. The adult cows are 108 cm and 190 kg respectively. The whole body has white long hair and strong muscles under the hair.

But compared to Limousin and Simmental, its bulk and weight are not enough. The former two are more than one ton of beasts, especially the bulls in Limousin, which are more than one and a half tons. Not uncommon.

Therefore, in the transport vehicle, there are three to four cows squeezed in each cage. The cages are very short, and the yaks lie on the inside, their expressions are thick and honest, but between the opening and closing, their eyes exude anger!

Wang Bo understands very well, who is stuffed into the cage for ten hours and still calm? Yaks are sloppy and honest, but they are not without temper.

You know, the rabbit is anxious, and the eagle is anxious, and the Buddha is anxious, but it also jumps the wall. These yaks will probably hate Leonard who put them in the cage.

The car drove down New Zealand Road to the ranch. After stopping, Leonard stepped down with a smile, hugged Wang Bo and said, "Look, what have I brought to you?"

Pharaoh was grateful for the yaks he brought, but the posture it brought was too weird: "Is this a cruel animal? Can it be transported like this?"

New Zealand's animal protection is almost full of nerves, so it should not be allowed to transport yaks for more than ten hours in a fixed posture.

Leonard shrugged. "I didn't abuse them. Cattle are fixed for more than 12 hours. Now there are absolutely no 12 hours. Well man, where are you going to put them?"

Wang Bo and his cowboy had cleared a ranch. He pointed and motioned for the truck to drive over.

Leonard wiped his forehead and said, "Are you sure you farm them here? Maybe I need to introduce you again. These white yaks come from the northwestern part of your country. They usually live where the average altitude is 3000 meters. Above, the climate is cold and the temperature changes drastically. I estimate that the average annual temperature is between minus 1 degree Celsius and minus 3 degrees Celsius ... "

After listening to his introduction, Wang Bo said, "I know, I know, they'd better live in alpine grasslands, live in areas with dense pastures, abundant water, and strong sun-sunlight, but not hot, right?"

Leonard laughed: "Yes, that's it. In short, I think your pasture is unqualified."

Wang Bo shrugged. He also knew that yaks would live on alpine grasslands, but where does he have alpine grasslands? But he has high mountains here, but it has not been developed yet.

Pointing to the mountain behind the territory, he expressed his vision: "It is going to be lower in the autumn, and it should be fine for them to live here temporarily. Next spring, I will open a pastoral area on the mountain where there is snow all year round. How about the temperature must be below zero degrees Celsius? "

Leonard looked at the snow in the Southern Alps with both hands in the shade, then nodded, "This is a good idea and a good idea, but I said, man, can they cross the mountains?"

The answer is unquestionable. Yaks are the most hard-working cows in nature. After long-term domestication exercises, they have super cold resistance and hunger tolerance. They are good at walking on mountain peaks and swamps, and can avoid traps Choose your way.

Wang Bo shrugged and said no problem, what he was actually worried about was that when these yaks felt the heart of the ranch, why would they go to live in the mountains?

What he has to worry about now is the survival of the white yak. ​​In order to transport them, these transport vehicles are constantly adding ice and cooling on the road before sending them.

In New Zealand, the average temperature in autumn is 20 degrees Celsius, which is too high for white yaks!

Wang Bo counts on the heart of the ranch, which has three levels. He believes that some strains can be made on the white yak to adapt them to the climate here.

It really ca n’t adapt, that ’s no problem, there is a lake next to it, so that white yaks can learn buffalo and soak in the water.

Opening the iron cage, a white yak was released.

These white yaks are covered with pure white hair, dense and long, but just because of the contamination in their lives. The hair on their bodies has turned pale yellow or even brown, which looks a little ugly.

After shaving off the dirty fur, the white yak gave Wang Bo the impression of being strong! Especially strong!

These yak's heads are rough and strong, their eyes are big, and they have thick horns. The horns protrude outward or upward and crescent. The corner wheels are obvious and the corners are sharp.

Standing on the ground, they shook their heads subconsciously, and a group of Boer goats watching in the distance immediately fled and ran away. The machete-like horns put a lot of pressure on them.

In addition to the horns, the yak's body also has a great deterrent. The bull's forequarters are well developed, the chest is wide and deep, and it has a high raised sacral armor.

In this way, looking at the white yak, it is easy to think of those bodybuilders: muscular, exaggerated upper limbs, soft lower limbs, and full of explosive feeling.

After standing on the grass, they didn't care about eating grass and drinking water. They ran away with their limbs and ran small steps. There were two carts carrying yak calves in the back. It took a while to stand up.

But after slowing down, these calves began to show terrifying vitality, running around with hoofs!

The adult cows calmed down after venting their energy. They went to the lake and drank some water before they began to eat.

The yak's lips are much rounder and thinner than beef cattle specially selected for breeding such as Simmental, which allows for flexible feeding.

In addition, although it looks honest, the yak's athletic ability is better than other cattle. I don't know how many times. Limousin and Simmental are incomparable with them.

White herds are moving in the pasture, they are looking for the best habitat, so they move quickly and set off a wind and smoke in the pasture.

Leonard handed a yak breeding book to Wang Bo, and there were many CDs in it. He said that this is a masterpiece of Chinese yak breeding experts, which can help him to quickly gain weight for yak. Eat meat.
