Ma Zijie: getting rich by fattening cattle

On March 20, the afternoon sun scattered evenly to the earth like running water, and the mild spring breeze blew in the face. In Taihe Village, Xingren Town, Shapotou District, Ma Zijie, a villager, and his wife are busy in the cowshed, adding feed, adding water and cleaning the cowshed. From time to time, the sound of "moo" makes the cowshed full of vitality. Looking at the beef cattle with strong physique, Ma Zijie said happily: "It is fattening cattle that let me get rid of poverty."

Ma Zijie's family emigrated from the original Haochuan Township to Taihe Village and was a file-building card holder in the village. Last summer, he learned that the beef market had been good in recent years and raising beef cattle was very profitable. Holding a try attitude, Ma Zijie returned home to start beef cattle breeding matters. He borrowed 130,000 yuan to buy 12 calves and started fattening cattle breeding. Every May, he will also take villagers to the village nearby to pick wolfberry, planting selenium sand melon to make money.

When the topic of raising cattle was raised, Ma Zijie suddenly opened the conversation box. "Choosing the right breeding cattle is the key. The 20 cattle in the cowshed are carefully selected and bought from the cattle farms in the urban area and Hebei Province. A calf bought more than 7000 yuan, 5 to 6 months to raise, can sell to 12,000 yuan to 13,000 yuan. Although I only started raising cattle last September, I made fifty or sixty thousand yuan in four months." Ma Zijie said proudly.

After watching Ma Zijie raise cattle, the better the days went. Many villagers in the village asked him for experience and said they would follow him to raise cattle. Driven by him, the villagers of Taihe Village are more and more enthusiastic about raising cattle. Not long ago, Ma Zijie also set up Junjie Cooperative to cooperate with villagers to raise cattle. He wants more villagers to join him on the road of raising cattle and becoming rich.

When it comes to Ma Zijie leading the villagers to raise cattle to become rich together, the villagers praise him. Ma Hanguo, a villager, said: "Ma Zijie earned a good income from raising cattle last year. I also want to learn to raise cattle with him, so I bought 5 cattle this year. I also want to borrow some money to buy another 5 cattle and raise 10 cattle to get rid of poverty with him."

Taihe village party branch secretary Ma Hanbao told reporters, Taihe village has 166 villagers, Only a few households in the development of aquaculture, Most villagers 'main economic income or rely on migrant workers. At present, the government has made great efforts to support funds and supporting equipment, and the village is also trying to help these farmers run loans. He hoped that Ma Zijie could drive more villagers to raise cattle, form a village-wide breeding scale, and lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich together.

Watching the cattle grow up day by day, the aggressive Ma Zijie is also brewing a bigger dream: "Raising cattle is a good way to get rich, and now the policy is getting better and better. The village has given me a precise poverty alleviation loan of 50,000 yuan. I also borrowed 120,000 yuan from Ningxia Bank and 50,000 yuan from Xiangshan Village Bank." This year, I want to expand the breeding scale again and strive to raise 80 to 100 cattle."

March spring is just right, Ma Zijie's face is full of confidence smile, hope is ahead...
