"Youpei, do you think my cow ring is doing this?" On September 18, in Min 'an Village, Ping' an Town, Zhang Youpei was called by Zhang Guojun, a poor household, to see the newly built cattle pen.

"Are you raising pigs?" See cattle circle repair some low, Zhang Youpei quick words. He told Zhang Guojun that the height of the cowshed should not be less than three meters from the ground, and the single row of cattle pens should be four meters wide. The length should be determined according to the number of Simmental cattle. Each cow should not be less than one meter. This way, it can ventilate and dissipate heat, and it is convenient for the cattle to move."

Buy cattle breeding, build cattle pens, see a doctor for cattle, in Min 'an Village, as long as it is related to cattle raising matters, villagers will take the initiative to find Zhang Youpei to check. Deng Shunwen, the village party secretary, said: "Zhang Youpei is also a poor household. He started raising cattle last year and got rid of poverty at the end of the year. Now, the poor households in the village are also raising cattle. He has become the leader of raising cattle to get rid of poverty and also provides services for poor households raising cattle free of charge."

Borrowing money to raise cattle to get rid of poverty

Zhang Youpei is 64 years old this year. A year ago, he was still a poor family with three people in his family. His wife is 63 years old. His son suffers from mental illness. His family is very poor due to lack of labor force. His source of livelihood depends only on planting crops.

At the beginning of 2015, Zhang Youpei's house came to a guest, the guest said: "Your house is a treasure, why not make good use of it?" At this moment, Zhang Youpei came up with the idea of raising cattle.

During the Spring Festival, when everyone else is happy, Zhang Youpei is very anxious to look at the large grass in front of and behind the house. Zhang Youpei raised two cattle 10 years ago, so he knows very well about cattle raising technology and cattle living habits. However, he wanted to raise cattle, but he didn't have the capital. Zhang Youpei always felt that this Spring Festival was not a taste.

After thinking hard for more than two months, Zhang Youpei finally took out the 10,000 yuan he had saved hard to marry his son's daughter-in-law, borrowed 40,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and bought three Simmental cattle.

Zhang Youpei regarded cattle as treasures. In addition to careful feeding, he had to observe them several times in the morning and evening. In those years, Zhang Youpei's three cows had three calves. Because Simmental cattle have a short growth cycle, they are sold in 4 months, and each cow sells for more than 6000 yuan.

"By the end of last year, I sold six cows, excluding labor, feed and other expenses, I earned more than 30,000 yuan, not only took off the poor hat, but also improved the life of the family." I bought two cows with some of the money and built new pens." Zhang Youpei said.

Encourage poor households to raise cattle and become rich

"Moo, moo, moo..." In the grassland behind the mountain, the reporter saw several calves are grazing happily. Approaching, Zhang Youpei saw the reporter go to interview, hurriedly stood up, a face of joy said: "I now have 5 cows to give birth to calves, recently, the cow gave birth to two calves, this year can not only expand the breeding scale, but also sell a few cows to change cash, earn tens of thousands of yuan without a problem!"

Zhang Youpei walked on the road to prosperity by raising cattle. The poor households in the village also had the impulse to raise cattle. They all visited Zhang Youpei's cattle pen one after another and talked with Zhang Youpei about his experience and technology of raising cattle.

"Raising cattle is profitable. You dare to raise them. Look at me. It's only been two years. Not only have I taken off my poverty cap, but I still have savings! As long as you are not lazy, how can you not be rich? If you build cattle pens, cure cattle diseases, or sell cattle, you can call me and I will serve you." Zhang Youpei promised the villagers.

Encouraged by Zhang Youpei, Zhang Guojun, a poor household, raised 20,000 yuan of funds by himself, and won industrial poverty alleviation funds from the government to buy back several cows.

"Zhang Youpei's valuable point is that he himself did not forget his neighbors, but also led 10 poor households to raise cattle together." Deng Shunwen said.
