Chapter 114 Pastureland, Animal Paradise!
Xu Ran led the two cows back home.
Now that the farm is thriving, he doesn't need to worry too much about the crops.
Just go for a walk every day.
Xu Ran spends most of her time interacting with various animals.
Having a farm is great; there are so many wild animals there.
This situation is very common.
For example, in Northeast China, there was a farmer who fed sables, a first-class protected animal. He opened the window and put some food on the table. The sables often sneaked in to eat, and they became familiar with each other over time.
There's also a kestrel that made its nest next to the air conditioner, and the female owner took care of it during its postpartum period.
Helping these little guys is a great thing for animal lovers.
It's heartwarming to see.
Xu Ran led the cows, who followed at a leisurely pace, occasionally looking around curiously.
They rarely leave the yard, and are occasionally driven outside to graze, but they are always tied to trees.
After all, dairy cows are very important assets for farmers, so they have to take good care of them.
But for Xu Ran, there are many animals on the farm, and he hopes that the animals can live more comfortably here.
"The milk from two cows can't make many dairy products."
"It's quite difficult to create a brand."
"We could make them first and then take them to the market to sell."
"Or we could make a smaller batch and ask Yonghui or Walmart if we could sell it there."
Xu Ran pondered.
To sell agricultural products, you definitely need sales channels.
Xu Ran wanted to earn more money and improve the farm.
The system now offers a variety of dairy product recipes with excellent taste. As long as you manage the sales channels for these dairy products, you're guaranteed to make money.
Just do it.
Before long, Xu Ran led the cows back to the farm.
He passed by the farm gate.
Ahead is a wide cement road with green belts on both sides, which is very beautiful.
As they walked further in, Xu Ran led them to the breeding area.
There are still vacant houses here that can house dairy cows.
From then on, the cows were herded to graze in the pasture during the day, just like sheep, and then herded back in the evening.
The arrival of the two enormous creatures quickly attracted the attention of the farm animals.
The farm is a big family, and the animals care about the newcomers.
Little Grey and Cinderella ran over together and looked at the cow.
Xu Ran waved his hand, and the two of them ran off to play.
At this moment, the big yellow ox noticed the wild buffalo and also walked towards them.
"Little Yellow! Come here!"
Xu Ran saw the yellow ox and called out to it.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the ox immediately jumped up happily, its massive body hopping and leaping as it ran towards Xu Ran.
This guy is now like a small mountain; his back alone is almost as tall as a person.
If Xu Ran wanted to ride on it, she either had to run for help or stand on the chair.
This guy is usually mild-mannered, but he becomes much more lively in front of Xu Ran.
"Little Yellow, these two are new here and not familiar with each other yet. I'll take them to eat hay in a bit, and you can come along."
"You can invite Guazi too. You guys are all older and would be good to play together."
"The others are all too small."
Xu Ran pointed to the cow and instructed Xiao Huang.
Little Yellow looked at the two cows, leaned closer, and greeted them.
The cow was still curiously observing its surroundings, somewhat cautious and apprehensive.
Like humans, animals are always a little nervous when they go to an unfamiliar environment.
It will get better gradually.
The cows have been purchased, but milking them is a hassle.
The task of milking is quite demanding, as we have to do it every day.
Wang Ping is currently busy in the kitchen all by herself, as everyone else is preoccupied with their own things.
"Let's hire another person to run the farm, and take care of feeding the pigs, sheep, and milking the cows."
"It costs more than 4,000 a month. Including social insurance and housing fund, the maximum annual labor cost is 60,000."
"If we can make money from dairy products, then it's worth hiring someone."
Xu Ran thought to herself.
As a boss, if you need manpower, you naturally have to spend money to hire people.
Today, every employee on the farm has their own job and responsibilities.
The management team is willing to let themselves go.
Under these circumstances, the farm will certainly continue to grow.
When there are more managers and fewer people doing the actual work, that's when the company will start to decline.
Xu Ran made a decision and then asked her parents to find someone to feed the pigs and cows.
Especially feeding the cows, because Xu Ran plans to buy a few more dairy cows and invest in a small dairy farm.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu immediately said, "You want to start a dairy farm? Dairy farms don't make money these days. There's a dairy farm in the next town, and it's about to close down."
"Cow milk is difficult to preserve; it costs a lot of money to preserve it, or it has to be disposed of promptly."
"We don't have any dairy farms or anything here, so where will you sell your milk?"
Mr. Xu is also knowledgeable in this field.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ran replied, "We're still quite far from the grasslands. With so many cities around, there's definitely a market for dairy products."
"I'll figure out the distribution channels then. Let's try it out first."
"See if you know anyone who knows about raising cattle, and recommend someone. If not, I'll find someone myself."
Mr. Xu nodded. "Okay, I'll ask around. There are quite a few people who want to go to the farm, so we need to find a reliable one. It's not good for me to ask here. If I do, my relatives and friends will definitely try to push people onto me. If you don't like it, it will be troublesome if I agree."
One of the best things about Xu Ran's parents is that they don't interfere with Xu Ran's choices and are very supportive.
The farm is doing very well now, and many friends have come to Xu's father wanting to get a position on Xu Ran's farm.
This kind of interpersonal relationship is the most difficult to handle. Xu's father said to others that he couldn't interfere and that Xu Ran had chosen all the employees herself. His friends didn't say much after hearing this.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran replied, "Okay, then don't ask anymore. Someone will try to get you to send people in. I'll do the interviews myself."
"Milkmen are relatively easy to find."
Xu Ran hung up the phone, a new plan forming in her mind.
Next, he went to the greenhouse and listened to Zhang Wen and Li Wu report on the crop situation.
Currently, the ten greenhouses are divided into two parts, one for growing tomatoes and the other for growing fruit cucumbers, and the employees are also assigned specific tasks.
They help each other out, and they also compare their results, naturally hoping that the crops in the greenhouses they are responsible for will grow better.
This can also be considered a method of managing employees.
Everything is normal in the greenhouse, and I estimate that we can start selling in April or May.
At that time, the wheat should also be ripe.
Then it will be harvest time, sales, and sowing again, in a continuous cycle.
They make money by relying on land and seeds.
After finishing everything, Xu Ran went to the pasture to check on the cows.
Although this pasture was full of weeds, it was surprisingly beautiful.
The hay was almost knee-high, and it was all high-quality variety that Xu Ran had redeemed from the system store.
For herbivores, this pasture is the perfect canteen.
Everyone likes to graze here.
It's not just them; because the pasture grows so lushly, the Border Collies also love to run and play here.
There are also hens that come here to find grasshoppers to eat.
Occasionally, you can still see those two tufted deer.
This is a very cozy place, and also the place with the most farm animals.
It's like a paradise.
So Xu Ran likes to wander around here whenever she has free time.
He plans to preserve this pastureland, without planting any crops, just pasture grass, and raise sheep, cattle, and horses.
If we're talking about monetizing such a large piece of land, then let's rely on dairy cows producing milk to do so.
This can be considered making the best use of resources and making good use of every piece of land.
