Continuous self-improvement, raising cattle in the mountains and taking the lead in scientific farming to become rich

The sky is blue, the sun is bright, the grass is green on a vast prairie, a group of fat Simmental cattle are eating the young grass leisurely and greedily, and the grazing people are a pair of old Miao couples in their twenties. This is an oil painting scene seen by the author on the hillside of the back trough of Xingfeng Group in Xinglong Township, Dafang County. The protagonist of the picture is Yang Yuanhua, a big cattle farmer in the township.

Yang Yuanhua grew up an orphan and had no money to marry a wife. He didn't tie the knot with his current wife Si Daxiu until he was 51. But there are always bitter tears behind happiness. Xinglong Township, located in the depth of more than 1500 meters in the north of Dafang County, belongs to the first class of poor townships in the province, with a deep degree of poverty and a large area of poverty. Yang Yuanhua, a simple Miao family, like many poor families, has not been able to get rid of poverty. Although he was in the midst of newlywed happiness at that time, the financial constraints of his family drove him to take his wife out to work for a year, and the couple discussed buying a Simmental cow for 670 yuan to feed. Since then, he has formed an inextricable bond with raising cattle.

Since 2013, he has been dealing with cattle all day, even living in mountains and forests, and living with a herd of cattle day and night. It is his persistent feeling of raising cattle that has led him from raising Simmental, a cow, to 26 hybrid cattle, worth more than 200,000 yuan.

On June 7, 2016, the party committee and government of Xinglong Township made use of the 24th evening school for cadres to organize all rural cadres to watch the Angus beef cattle breeding video to gain an in-depth understanding of the breed characteristics, economic value and production performance of Angus cattle, a high-quality beef cattle breed introduced by the county. Yang Yuanhua stood outside the conference room window and peeked at the indoor video. Later, he said with emotion, "when I heard that the government was organizing to watch the video of feeding beef cattle, I ran over to watch it. I also wanted to raise non-local cattle. I hoped that the staff would give me a CD and show it to my neighbors when I took it home. We must let 'Angus Beef cattle' make a home in Xinglong Township." Xiao Hua, secretary of the party committee of Xinglong Township, arranged for someone to send a CD of aquaculture technology to Yang Yuanhua's home, realizing his dream of scientific and technological farming. On June 20, 2016, the main leaders of the county party committee arranged for him to speak at the first Angus feeding management training meeting of Hengda's generous 100000 Farmers' University. Yang Yuanhua made an impassioned speech: "all cadets should understand the leaders' painstaking intentions in getting rid of poverty in Dafang County. I am 62 years old. I participated in this kind of study and training for the first time, and I learned a lot. When I get home, I should raise cattle well and lead the masses to shake off poverty and become rich." Yang Yuanhua, who had an in-depth understanding of Angus beef cattle, took the initiative to take the lead in supporting the government's bull castration work and taking the lead in castrating the three bulls he raised. Drive the masses to plant 249 mu of golden buckwheat and become the leader in the development of raising cattle to shake off poverty and become rich in the village.

Yang Yuanhua, who took part in the training and changed his ideas, did not forget the poor people. he actively cooperated with the government to do a good job in mass propaganda on Angus beef cattle farming, mobilizing 21 peasant households (including 16 poor households) to set up professional cooperatives. Wang Lonjun, a poor household, was led by his own practical action demonstration to raise 16 cattle. In 2016, the Wang family earned more than 30,000 yuan by selling cattle alone. Ming Xiqiang raises 11 cattle, while other bulk farmers raise more than 3 cattle. It is understood that at present, farmers in the Xinfeng group raise more than 80 cattle, making it a well-known group of villagers whose developed cattle industry is the main way out of poverty.

Yang Yuanhua and Si Daxiu, a couple in their twenties, because they did not have children who met the requirements of the five guarantees, the township government mobilized him to live in a nursing home, but he said, "that reputation is not good and my face is not good-looking. Even if I am a five-insurance household, we have to rely on our own efforts and work hard, do not add burden to the country, do not add burden to society, and do not let people laugh at me. I will never fight for the minimum living standard."

On June 5, 2016, at the work scheduling meeting of cattle reform in Dafang County, Yang Yuanhua did not want the state to help the poor and become rich by raising cattle, but even more believed in science and took the initiative to castrate the bulls. Lao Zhijian mobilized 16 poor households to set up professional cooperatives, which was praised by the county party committee and government.

"Yang Yuanhua is a household with five guarantees. He could have sat and ate state subsidies, but he bought a cow more than a decade ago, and now it has grown to 26. What Yang Yuanhua can do, we people should be able to do." On February 17 this year, Zhang Hanshi, secretary of the Dafang County CPC Committee, said affectionately at a forum on poverty alleviation in Xinglong Township.

"at present, the transportation of the Xinfeng Group is inconvenient. If the government can help us improve our traffic conditions, I must raise cattle until the day I die, and I will lead everyone to raise cattle together to shake off poverty and become well-off." Yang Yuanhua said.
