Song Tan Jishi

Chapter 824 824. How to raise sheep

 Song Tan began to reflect on his lack of preparation.

If this sheep can jump like this, she will have to expand her contracted land to both sides.

But now...

—

 She ignored this detail and changed the topic: "Are they particular about what they eat?"

Boss Yang raises sheep that are both coarse and fine. Now he said carelessly: "You can basically eat anything, in winter or at critical times - you know what critical times are, right? It's pregnancy, milk production, etc., so you have to feed them concentrates!" "

“They will go back to their own pens at night. Try not to let them out when there is dew during the day. They cannot eat dew-laden grass and will get sick easily.”

Oh...it sounds like it’s not difficult at all.

“It’s not difficult in the first place!” Boss Yang took her to the sheepfold: “To raise this thing, don’t listen to a bunch of theories first, it’s useless! You have to really raise it, and after you keep exploring, you will know it in your heart.”

This is really a doer, and Song Tan also agrees with this concept, but her method may be a little different from other people's "exploring" -

　　Just go ahead and get on with your head!

 As you get closer, you can hear a group of lambs bleating. Their furs include pure white, fluffy yellow, brown patches, and black irregular shapes...

 “It’s quite cute.”

Song Tan looked at it slowly and was quite satisfied: "They are all quite energetic."

The lambs were jumping up and down on the wood stacked in the sheepfold, lively and dexterous, as if there were four small springs under their feet.

Even Qi Lin couldn't help but soften his expression: "It's really cute."

Boss Yang also nodded seriously beside him: "Indeed, the meat is delicious! The lamb is still tender - what do you think I am doing? You don't raise sheep just for eating!"

 Eat it and eat it, but Boss Yang, you really know how to make a scene!

Song Tan quickly changed the subject: "It can't eat dewy grass. Can it eat fresh, moist grass?"

"Yes!" Boss Yang said: "For example, freshly cut vegetable leaves or dried and chopped soybean stalks are all fine. The kind that are wet and dewy, don't eat them."

“Eat a little occasionally, observe it, if there is nothing wrong with it, don’t make a fuss - but you are a newbie, so be careful.”

He talked a lot, and then asked: "I'm bringing out the whole flock of sheep, are you sure you want them all? If it's too much, then I'll only bring out the lambs and rams."

 It is definitely all necessary, and it is not much in the first place. Song Tan was curious: "Why are there only lambs and rams?"

 Boss Yang 1510: "Niu Ben said that your family is rich, and you are not in a hurry to make a profit when raising sheep. You have to be patient. Many sheep farmers are impatient now. They usually choose to buy ewes that are pregnant or in the breeding period."

“If you go back and wait for a few months, you can sell the lambs and get money. People with poor family backgrounds like to do this. If you think there are too many, and I have all the ewes left here, I can call now and get out as soon as possible.”

Song Tan suddenly realized that ewes cost 22 pounds per pound, which is not much more expensive than lambs at 20 pounds per pound. If farmers buy them back, they will be able to see their babies in six months at the latest.

 The cub has been raised for three months and weighs 30 pounds. When sold, the average price is 600 yuan.

 In this way, farmers can see their money back within a year, which will make them more confident and reduce their pressure.

 So, Boss Yang’s first intention is to round up all the sheep, but there are 46 sheep here. If the family doesn’t have much space, doesn’t he also have the option of selling them separately?

"Okay!" Song Tan looked at the sheep carefully and found that they were indeed in good spirits. What's more, there were 46 of them and more than 20 of them were lambs weighing about 30 kilograms. Compared with the price of cattle, one was in the sky and the other was on the ground!

 She quickly reassured Boss Yang: "It's okay, I want them all."

 After saying this, I suddenly came to my senses - Hey, it’s pretty cool! No wonder Boss Chang likes to say this.

Boss Yang was so happy that he quickly built a passage between the two sheep pens and placed the scale in the middle.

 He drove the sheep while recording the weight and price, and his movements were particularly skillful.

Qi Lin suddenly reacted: "Do we... still have soybean poles?"

 “Yes!” Song Tan answered particularly cheerfully.

 Don’t talk about soybean poles, there are also mung bean poles.

At that time, I dried it in the sun and prepared to grind it and feed it to the pigs. I let Old Man Li take most of it home to feed the rhubarb.

 In the end, what happened to Old Man Li made the rhubarb his own.

It was a hot summer day, and there were all kinds of water, grass, and weeds. Naturally, it was not the turn to eat dry food.

So that the soybean stalks have not been broken yet, and have become part of the winter fodder reserve.

Qi Lin nodded: "Then...is it time to dig the sweet potatoes?"

Huh? !

Song Tan reacted: "Yes! You can dig it in these two days—you want to eat sweet potato vines, right?"

"Yes." Teng Qilin likes to eat tender sweet potatoes, especially when fried with chili lard and garlic cloves, the taste is...

  In any case, this dish can feed three bowls of rice!

Thinking about it now, I can’t help but drooling out of my mouth - but he will go to the mountain canteen next year! How many more days can we live like this?

Thinking of this, he became more determined to make 8,000 after tax!

  After deducting the five insurances and one housing fund, there is still 8,000, which he will never agree to!

But when he mentioned the sweet potato vines, he had another meaning: "What I mean is that the pile of sweet potato vines used to harvest sweet potatoes at home can also be dried and crushed to make fodder."

 After all, the grass that can be eaten on the riverbanks nowadays is also lush and green, and there is no need for concentrates at all. It’s better to eat fresh ones first!

With this thought in mind, he glanced at the scale and quickly recorded the data without delay.

Song Tan nodded: "Yes, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it... Sigh, if I had known that I would raise cattle and sheep, I should have hired someone to harvest the milkvetch in the several acres of land in the spring."

 The roots of milkvetch can fertilize fields, the young leaves can be eaten, and the flowers are beautiful enough. It can be said that it has no shortcomings!

 The leaves are harvested, dried and ground, which is one of the most nutritious forages!

After thinking about it, Song Tan sighed and looked at the final price calculated by Qi Lin, adding another type of crops to be planted next year, and suddenly realized -

Comparing the price of cattle, such a large group of sheep is really cheap!

But Boss Yang responded: "By the way, our family also loves to eat mutton. If you raise this sheep and plan to sell it, let me know! I raise my own sheep, and you plan to raise them free-range. I can trust this kind of meat." some."

 Song Tan:…

After a moment, she said tactfully: "Why don't you look at others and worry about it - I am a sheep who wants to do marketing and influencers to bring goods, so I can't get it cheap."

Live broadcast room marketing, anchor Qiaoqiao brings the goods, there is nothing wrong with it.

  I’m so sleepy, I can’t hold on any longer... Good night first.

By the way, let me give you another choice—

Come on, let me recommend another sister to give you more books to read—YTT Taotao’s! !
