Rebirth of the Super Landlord

The Wyoming Biological Laboratory is a cooperative project between Su Zhen and the University of Wyoming. Construction began as early as the construction of the Wyoming Ranch. Su Zhen provided corresponding research equipment and funds to the laboratory, and the University of Wyoming provided researchers.

Once the research results are obtained, it will naturally be Su Zhendeli, and the University of Wyoming will get the name.

However, for more than three years, millions of dollars of research funds were invested every year, but there was not even a sound. Su Zhen slowly forgot that such a laboratory existed. He did not expect that such a good laboratory would suddenly be available now.

News, this is an encouragement to Su's agriculture, which suffered a big blow last year.

Generally speaking, the profitability of Su's Agriculture last year was good, but all this changed at the end of 2003. On December 23 last year, a case of mad cow was discovered in the dairy town of Mabton, Washington State, which caused

This has caused panic throughout the United States. This is the first time in the history of the United States that mad cow disease has appeared. Although the cattle raised in Su Zhen's pasture are top-grade beef cattle that are free-range and cannot be affected by mad cow disease, the sales of beef have still been greatly affected.

Affected by the epidemic, many restaurants have reduced or canceled orders, resulting in beef orders in January this year being less than half of December last year, and sales in supermarkets and shopping malls have been greatly reduced. This has made Su's agriculture the largest profit proportion.

Beef cattle breeding in China has been severely affected, and many beef cattle that have reached the slaughter stage cannot be sold. In terms of exports, many countries have adopted trade restrictions on American beef cattle and suspended the import of American beef products. Although the health department has repeatedly emphasized that the sick cattle are not contaminated.

America's beef supply chain. But it's useless.

However, Su Zhen still has certain reservations about the fact that Ham's meat is better than Wagyu. If this is true, it will not only be a revolution in the breeding industry, but even the patent of this new breed of cattle can bring far-reaching benefits to Su Zhen.

Beyond the interests of Google and Apple, you have to know how many years have there been no new high-value beef cattle breeds?

But it is a pity that the patent protection period is only twenty years. After all, cattle breeds are different from other inventions. Generally speaking, as long as the core technology is well protected, it may never be leaked, but cattle are different. As long as any live cow is leaked,

That means the loss of cattle breeds, so this thing can only be patented.

Su Zhen told Ham not to leak the news about the new breed of cattle to the outside world for the time being. He would wait until he got back to talk about everything. He hung up the phone. After thinking about it, he called Mark again and asked him to send someone to strengthen the defense of the laboratory.

Work.

"What's wrong? You look so happy?" Lux felt a little strange when she saw Su Zhen back on the deck with a beaming face.

Su Zhen didn't say anything, just hugged Lux ​​and kissed her hard before replying, "Great news, the biological laboratory I invested in has finally produced results. They have developed a new breed of beef cattle. If it is really like

If the meat quality they say is that good, then that’s great.”

"It's just a new breed of cattle. Is it so good that it makes you so moved?" Nicole and Lux ​​were both a little puzzled. They didn't know much about agriculture and breeding, so they couldn't see the huge profits contained in it.

"Haha, of course. But we have to go back to understand the specific situation, but our honeymoon may have to end early," Su Zhen said with regret.

"Just go back. I haven't seen the child for almost a month. It's weird." Nicole said first, and Lux ​​also nodded.

"That's it, let's go back tomorrow." Seeing that the two women did not object, Su Zhen walked into the cabin, started the yacht, and drove to the shore.

A few days later, Su Zhen took the two of them back to Wyoming. Before returning home and not even taking a sip of water, Su Zhen took the Black Elf out of the stable, got on the horse with Mark and headed towards the laboratory.

When Su Zhen arrived at the laboratory, he found that there were many more guards around than before. It seemed that they were arranged by Mark.

In fact, this laboratory not only studies and breeds beef cattle, but also conducts research and cultivation of sheep, goats, dairy cows, and several crops. However, beef cattle breeding has always been the ultimate main business of the ranch, so the experiment

The beef cattle research department of the laboratory is the largest, with the most sufficient people and funds.

Su Zhen entered the laboratory, turned a few corners, and arrived at the beef cattle research area.

"Su, you are finally here. I will take you to see our new breed of cattle." When Ham saw Su Zhen arriving, he was extremely excited and pulled Su Zhen towards the area behind the laboratory.

Soon they came to a pasture area behind the laboratory. "Look, that's our new breed of cattle," Ham said, pointing to a group of cattle in the pasture area.

Su Zhen looked at it. This herd of cattle was very special. The fur was dark red, a bit like Red Angus cattle. But the difference from Red Angus cattle was that the cattle had long horns on their heads and necks.

There is also a very strange little tuft of collar hair on the front. But he looks quite handsome.

"Is the meat quality of beef definitely better than Wagyu?" Su Zhen asked as he looked at the cattle.

"I'm very sure that the meat quality is definitely better than that of Wagyu beef. We have slaughtered several cows. The distribution of fat is very clever and the pattern is extremely beautiful. It is even more beautiful than the top-grade Snowflake Wagyu beef, and the meat quality is unparalleled." Ham said confidently.

.

"What about growth, reproduction and breeding?" Su Zhen continued to ask.

"It's easy to breed, just ordinary pasture is enough, and the slaughter period is less than 10 months. There are no problems in reproduction. Cows can usually be bred and pregnant in about 8 months. Like all cows, one child per birth lasts a lifetime.

It will take time to verify how many calves can be produced. Bulls are relatively late and take about 16 months," Ham said, putting his hand on his glasses.

"How did you get such a cow?" Su Zhen asked with some confusion.

"This is also thanks to the bison you got from Su. Those bison are rare purebred North American bison. You know, the real purebred North American bison is completely extinct. I really don't know where you found it. We

After more than a year of crossbreeding and breeding, this kind of cow was finally created," Ham sighed.

"The bison are extinct in North America? Aren't those in Yellowstone Park?" Su Zhen said dumbfounded. The ones he had were brought from Yellowstone Park.

"Of course not. The bloodline of the bison in Yellowstone Park has long been impure. Otherwise, the Ministry of Agriculture would have used them for research, and would they still keep them there?" Ham said disdainfully.

"Ahem, I just accidentally discovered it around the ranch. I thought these bison were all purebred." Su Zhen said with some embarrassment. He thought the bison in Yellowstone Park were all purebred. Is he so lucky?

Okay? Are all the bulls that I catch at random purebred? Or is it because I raised these bulls in Yupai for several months?

"But you have to be prepared, these cattle will probably be classified as a protected breed by the Department of Agriculture like the longhorns," Ham said.

"It doesn't matter. If the meat quality really reaches the level you mentioned, and if breeding is so easy, I'm afraid Wagyu breeders will go bankrupt." Su Zhen shook his head and said, it would be better if it were classified as a protected breed.

At worst, only finished beef will be sold overseas. In this way, if foreign forces come to steal cattle breeds, you don’t have to do anything yourself, the US government will take care of it. And once it is listed as a protected breed, the price of beef will also rise.

ah.

And as he said, if the meat quality of this kind of beef is really better than that of Wagyu, even if it is only sold a little cheaper than Wagyu, those Wagyu farmers will cry. After all, although Wagyu is the top beef cattle, but the breeding

The cost is also heartbreakingly high, so the actual profit of Wagyu beef in the world is actually not much higher than that of ordinary Angus beef.

"That's it, I'll report the relevant information to the Ministry of Agriculture later," Ham nodded and said.

However, Su Zhen and Ham still underestimated the importance of the Ministry of Agriculture to new breeds of cattle. Within a few days of Ham's report, the Ministry of Agriculture sent people, and they came together from the federal Ministry of Agriculture headquarters and the state Ministry of Agriculture. After all, this

The emergence of a new breed of cattle has a huge positive effect on the entire U.S. agriculture. As the world's largest agricultural exporter accounting for half of global agricultural exports, it naturally attaches great importance to new breakthroughs in agricultural technology.

Especially when this breakthrough may break the monopoly of Kobe beef as the world's top beef, even Ann Veneman, who is the Minister of Agriculture, cannot sit still.
