Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

The long-term agreement signed by Wang Jianjun this time still has some highlights.

There are two of them, cost price bottom line and cost price limit. Specifically, when the price of fresh milk raw materials falls below the average price of raising dairy cows in the current society, Xueling Dairy will purchase it at a price not lower than the average price.

Correspondingly, when the price of fresh milk raw materials rises and exceeds the average comprehensive cost of the production enterprise for the current period, the farm will sell the milk at a price not higher than the cost price.

One is a bottom-line policy, and the other is a price limit, which fully takes into account the rights and interests of both parties.

"Yes, Jianjun is very safe in doing things."

Gulidan smiled slightly. Looking back, it was really cost-effective to sign a long-term supply agreement with Xueling Dairy.

But no matter how cost-effective it is, the sharp drop in fresh milk prices has become a fact, and the income from raising dairy cows will inevitably be greatly affected. Thinking of this, Gulidan's mood, which had just improved, became a little heavy.

"It doesn't matter. If you survive this recession cycle, you will usher in great development. When the price drops no longer, you can buy more fine-bred brown cattle to prepare for the next boom cycle. Funds will be easy to handle, when the time comes

You go to Jianjun and ask him to help you find a way to get a loan."

Qin Xifeng and Gulidan had a spiritual connection and immediately knew what the other was thinking.

He comforted Gulidan and specifically emphasized that he could go to Wang Jianjun if he had any difficulties. With the decline in raw material prices, Xueling Dairy's performance will inevitably soar, and it will definitely be able to help the cooperative.

As for whether Wang Jianjun will agree? He thinks he should. The other party is deliberately trying to build a multi-channel supply system, and it is impossible to take away every cent. The development and expansion of the cooperative's farms is in the interests of Xueling Dairy.

Only then did Gulidan put down his thoughts and determined to study the so-called industry cycle.

Some are happy and some are sad.

After lunch, Sun Dong came to Qin Xifeng's house.

"Boss, although we are well prepared to deal with it, it pains me to watch profits shrink before my eyes! I don't know how long this downward cycle of fresh milk prices will last."

Sun Dong first reported to Qin Xifeng on his recent work situation, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, Mr. Sun, you are used to living a good life. When you first started living a hard life, you started complaining. Didn't we take advantage of the high price to eliminate all the brown cows? This part of the income can make up for this year's fresh milk.

The losses caused by the price drop. I estimate that the company’s performance this year will not change much. As for next year, we will grit our teeth and get through it.”

Qin Xifeng himself is very optimistic. Anyway, it is impossible for Natural Animal Husbandry to lose money. It is just a matter of making more or less. He can think openly.

The company started making preparations very early, and took advantage of the high prices and reluctantly eliminated all the first-generation brown cattle. Now it seems that the original decision was extremely correct and the timing was just right.

"The profit margin has dropped significantly, which can only be compensated by increasing revenue. Fortunately, all three generations of brown cattle have entered the production period, and the company's overall milk production has increased instead of falling. Next year's performance will not be ugly."

After all four generations of brown cattle are born, the selected superior breeds (female calves) are purchased by breeding farms, while the remaining male calves and cull calves are sold directly by various ranches.

Currently, the fourth generation of brown cattle are being bred on the breeding farm and will enter the production period in about two years.

In addition, second-generation brown cows and third-generation brown cows will enter the pregnancy cycle again after a short period of training. In short, cows are either on the way to pregnancy or on the way to be pregnant, and the cycle continues without stopping.

Subsequently, various ranches under Natural Animal Husbandry will begin to gradually eliminate second-generation brown cattle or even part of third-generation brown cattle, and then all use third- and fourth-generation brown cattle with completely stable genetic characteristics, which is the so-called "Western Region Brown Cattle Improvement".

Type" variety.

The breeding work is slow in the early stage, but will become faster and faster in the later stage.

"So, let me tell you, Mr. Sun, what else do you have to worry about? If nothing else, you will be able to make a lot of income just from selling cattle in the future. After all, the carrying capacity of our ranch has its limit, and the extra part can be

It’s all money.”

Qin Xifeng's optimism also affected Sun Dong, who couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

The current market situation for dairy cows is not good, but the price of beef is not bad. The fourth-generation brown cow calves that have been eliminated are all bought as beef cattle, so there is no loss.

The two chatted in the house for a while and then set off to Walhim Ranch.

Walshim Ranch said that after the upgrade, the carrying capacity of livestock has been greatly enhanced. Due to the realization of intelligent breeding, the number of employees does not need to increase significantly, which actually reduces production costs.

In the past, the main milk-producing cows in the pasture were first- and second-generation brown cows, but now they are second- and third-generation brown cows, and the total number has expanded.

"Boss, there are a total of 14,000 brown cows in the pasture during the current production period. The number has not increased much, but the production of fresh milk has increased significantly. The milk production of the improved brown cows has increased by 15% to 20%.

The meat yield rate increased by 18%, and the benefits are obvious."

Cai Youming told Qin Xifeng and Sun Dong a set of data, which were tangible benefits brought about by breed improvement.

Qin Xifeng nodded, knowing something in his mind.

Sun Dong did some calculations in his mind. Through refined management, cost reduction, and increase in milk production, it seems that the impact of the drop in fresh milk prices is not that terrible.

The storm gradually subsided, and the price of fresh milk lay motionless on the floor.

Whether they like it or not, everyone slowly accepted this reality and did what they should do. Qin Xifeng didn't like to travel far in the cold weather. After the first snow, he only went out once for inspection.

Yin'er Valley Ranch, Baburu Ranch and Kirk Ranch.

Both Yin'er Valley Ranch and Kirk Ranch are getting better, only Bablu Ranch has not yet reached the expected scale.

The breeding farm once again introduced 3,000 Swiss brown cattle. Du Xiaoyan led technicians to artificially inseminate these adult brown cattle, and transported the successfully pregnant cows to Babulu Ranch in batches.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Bablu Ranch has a large number of Swiss brown cattle, as well as some second-generation hybrid brown cattle, which we tentatively call "Kirko Brown cattle." The second-generation hybrid cattle are not considered a new type of brown cattle. They have to wait until the third generation to be completely finalized.

Only then can it be considered a "Kirk Brown Cow" in the true sense.

By next year, thousands of second-generation hybrid calves will be born. A rough estimate is that 3,500 calves that meet the standards will be screened out. Du Xiaoyan is very confident and promises to breed at least tens of thousands of calves within three years."

Kirk Brown Cow".

The specific amount depends on the actual situation.

Qin Xifeng is not in a hurry. Natural animal husbandry is now walking on two legs. The new type of brown cattle, namely "Kirk Brown cattle", will be the main breed in the future, and the current main breed is "Improved Western Region Brown cattle".

After planning adjustments, Babulu Ranch will be the first to replace all new breeds of brown cattle, while the other ranches will remain unchanged for the time being. The cultivation of new breeds takes a long time and requires patience.

When Qin Xifeng returned from his inspection, the weather was getting colder day by day.

Recently, there have been several small-scale border break-ins on the mountain, all of which were blocked by line patrols and companies. Nowadays, it is difficult to smuggle in large quantities of prohibited items from outside the line, but small batches of goods, especially the infiltration of personnel, are difficult to prevent.

.

The mouth of Valshim Canyon and Tasha Post are the two most important passages, but they are not the only ones. Some trails can only be said to be difficult to walk, and you may encounter danger at any time, but you can pass them if you are willing to take risks.

It's just that livestock can't pass through, and they can't carry many items.

"Xifeng, now the enemy's infiltration adopts the method of ants moving, small batches, multiple batches, three or five people at a time, which is difficult to prevent. But the harm is not small at all, so we cannot relax throughout the winter.

"

That evening, Qin Xifeng and his family were sitting around the table eating hot pot, when Qi Xiangwu and Liang Gang suddenly came to the door.

Atik took the company commander and the instructor and sat down together. The two couldn't refuse, so they had to taste a few bites of the dishes. They had already eaten at the company before they came, and although the hot pot was very tempting, they really couldn't eat it.

Qin Xifeng knew that they had something to do, so after eating, he went upstairs to the study with them.

Sure enough, Captain Qi informed him of a new situation.

"The enemy is broken into pieces, and the concealment is greatly enhanced. Moreover, there are countless paths on the mountain. If the opponent is not afraid of death, it is really difficult for us to find their traces. Especially now in winter, the climate in the mountain is harsh, and the range of activities of the line patrolmen will also be reduced.

Restricted.”

There is no solution to this problem for the time being. We cannot be stationed on the mountain. Patrolling on the mountain in this kind of weather conditions is very difficult and it is difficult to fully grasp all the situations. Especially when the enemy is not afraid of death and takes those rugged and remote mountain trails, it is even more troublesome.

Qin Xifeng thought about it and couldn't find a good way.

"Xifeng, the enemy has changed their strategy and it is indeed difficult to deal with them. However, no matter how secretive the trail they take, they have to go out of the mountain, right? I discussed it with the company commander and asked your line patrolmen to strengthen mobile patrols. The main thing is this, and this is also

There are these places…”

Liang Gang took out the map from his bag and clicked a few times with his fingers.

The areas he designated were near the surrounding villages and were relatively remote. In the past, the company did not pay attention to those areas because there were no suitable passages.

The situation has changed now. The line from Valshim to Tasha is relatively safe, but there are often problems on the mountain roads near other villages.

Nowadays, the village access road project has been completed, and there are roads from Walshim to every village. Moreover, there is no shortage of vehicles on Qin Xifeng's side, which creates conditions for mobile patrols.

"Xifeng, I'm really sorry that I have to use your personal vehicle. You can understand that this is the company's request. We won't say anything if you agree or not."

The company commander was very embarrassed, but the company's current conditions were so limited that he had no choice but to ask Qin Xifeng for support.

He has already reported this matter, and he will definitely give some compensation later. You can't let people have to contribute both efforts and money, right? But this kind of thing does not need to be said clearly, especially when dealing with Qin Xifeng.
