Chapter 71

Sikewell was quite pleased that he was able to make the deal.

After more than a week of busy work, the delivery work at Shi Wen's home was completed.

He also adjusted the pairing relationships between ewes and lambs, marking out those ewes and lambs that had given birth to twins or triplets, and sending the lambs to other ewes with sufficient milk if they did not produce enough.

Whether it was because he possessed Qilin Bloodline or because his adjustments were more scientific, the ewes and lambs adapted well to the changes and did not resist.

Although some of the lambs born this time were not in good condition, after a few days of feeding, all of them are plump and white, with curly wool that smells of milk, and they are very cute.

Yang Yiqing said that of all the sheep he had seen, none were as cute as the sheep from Shi Wen's family.

These lambs are like little toys.

The lambs were very lively and in good health after being cared for for a few days.

Shi Wen this, can I finally put my mind at ease.

This year's lambing event was a complete success. The next focus is on taking good care of them, ensuring they are healthy and vigorous, so that they can produce even better third-generation lambs next year.

Chapter 71

Shi Wen after the ewes in my village give birth to lambs, the weather gets warmer day by day.

Spring seemed to have returned to the earth overnight.

Shi Wen, looking out from the courtyard gate, the grass nearby is withered and yellow, but in the distance, a layer of green can be seen, tender and very inconspicuous, with only tiny sprouts emerging.

However, this is already a sign that spring is returning to the earth.

The grass on the grassland wasn't very green, but the grass along the irrigation ditches had really sprouted tender shoots.

These grass sprouts are sweet and fresh green, with a completely different taste from hay, silage, and refined grains.

Shi Wen when the weather is nice and the pigs, cattle, and sheep are let out, they all rush to the ditch to graze on this patch of fresh green.

Shi Wen they even let their geese out of the house.

Their family hatched geese twice, and now they have a total of one hundred goslings and twenty-one adult geese.

The geese adapted well to the newly thawed ditch. As soon as they came out, they quacked and ran into the ditch, completely unafraid of the cold. They simply stuck their butts up high and dived underwater to catch small insects and fish.

The grass on the grassland has turned green; it's time to plant pasture.

Shi Wen in the group chat that the villagers have the same idea. Everyone is thinking of taking advantage of the good weather to plant the pasture grass as soon as possible, so that it will be easier for the grass to germinate when it rains in a couple of days.

After discussing it in the group chat, everyone decided to find a craftsman to take turns plowing the fields.

Shi Wen followed the crowd and went to find the craftsman. Because he arrived early today, he was number thirty-four in line and soon it was his turn.

After confirming that his family planned to cultivate a total of 600 mu (approximately 40 hectares), the foreman remarked with a sigh, "It seems your family is planning a big year."

Shi Wen, "That's right, I already have experience. I'll raise more this year and earn more, so as not to waste such a big ranch."

Master: "You really have a talent. Many young herders can't even raise them properly after ten or eight years."

"Talent is one thing, but the main thing is to learn," Shi Wen sighed. "I herd livestock during the day and study at night; I've been doing this for almost a year now."

The master laughed heartily, "You'll get the hang of it as you learn. And when you find there's nothing left to learn, you'll be writing books to teach others."

Shi Wen that 600 mu of pasture is to be planted. In pastoral areas, this planting area is considered quite large. Many families do not even have 600 mu of pasture in their entire pasture.

He was well-known in several nearby towns, and even in N City.

Now he wants to make a big splash, which has attracted the attention of many people.

Several associations and small groups in N City approached him enthusiastically, inviting him to join their groups and treating him to meals and drinks.

Shi Wen to be so welcoming at the start of the year, but since there was no intention to socialize, I politely declined all offers.

That day, when Fu Meng and the others were chatting, he said, "These people all have a lot of resources. If you get to know them, it will be much easier to buy and sell livestock in the future."

Shi Wen laughed and said, "I just won't associate with them. With the quality of my livestock, buying and selling them won't be difficult."

Zhang Deyuan: "We've Shi Wen he's not the kind of person who enjoys socializing and scheming."

Shi Wen, "The main problem is that I don't have time. If I had time, I wouldn't mind making more friends. But I can't right now. I'm too busy with the ranch to have time for all this."

Fu Meng: "Springtime is the busiest time; everyone's pretty much the same."

Zhang Deyuan disagreed. "Which season isn't busy? Springtime is for welcoming lambs and planting hay; summer for cutting hay, shearing, and managing livestock; autumn for bundling hay and storing silage; and winter for fattening..."

Fu Meng quickly interrupted, "Relatively speaking, spring is busier. Anyway, Assistant Qu said he's bringing over some alfalfa seeds. You can pick them up at the village entrance at 2 PM on the 21st. Remember to come and collect them then."

Shi Wen while, and as soon as Fu Meng mentioned it, he immediately said, "Then I'll definitely be there on time to queue up."

We're about to plant alfalfa, Shi Wen making the most of the time and has applied another layer of base fertilizer.

He had previously worried that with so much livestock manure on the ranch, it would be troublesome to contact the fertilizer factory to collect it every time.

Unexpectedly, as their livestock farming expanded, they couldn't store the manure at all, and each time it was fermented, they used it as base fertilizer for the pasture.

Old Man Ma and his family were very envious of his fertilizer and asked for it several times, Shi Wen couldn't get any from him.

A 3,000-mu pasture is simply too large. Last year, his family didn't raise many livestock, and their fertilizer supply was very limited.

This year should be much better.

The seeds of alfalfa are promising, Shi Wen also mentioned plans to plant red clover and sheepgrass.

The seeds of these two types of forage grass have not yet been sown.

He had initially planned to just buy some at the market, but now that the alfalfa seeds were so good, he felt a little unwilling to just use the other two types of mixed forage grasses as a substitute.

Upon learning this, Yang Yiqing said to Shi Wen, "I don't have any red bean grass here. As for sheep grass, I have a classmate whose family grows it. Their sheep grass is exported all over the world and is very popular. If our ranch needs it, I can help you get in touch with them."
