Guizhou Songtao youth returning to their hometown to start a business and raise "ecological sheep"

In Xiangshuidong Village, Panshi Ecological Animal Husbandry demonstration Park, Songtao County, Guizhou Province, six young people returned home to start a business and raise "ecological sheep" and found a way to get rich. Recently, the author came to the Red Flag breeding Professional Cooperative in Xiangshuidong Village, hoping to know the entrepreneurial stories of these six young farmers who returned home.

"the local white goats we raise drink natural mineral water, eat natural wild forage grass, and breathe the air of natural oxygen bars, so the price of sheep has been kept at about 30 yuan per jin. A sheep weighing 90 jin can be sold for 2700 yuan, and a bigger sheep can sell for nearly 3000 yuan. Marketing channels are customer door-to-door purchases, sales have been good. " Long Zhi Cha, the farmer of the cooperative, said happily.

Long Zhicha was a department manager of an aquaculture enterprise when he was working in Zhejiang. In 2014, when I went home to visit my parents, I found that the natural resource advantage of farming in my hometown was particularly good, so I wanted to use this resource advantage to raise "ecological sheep". He negotiated with several young people returning home, such as long Zhengfa, long Zhenghai, long Yutang, Ma Jinxiang, and long Wenyong, and reached an agreement to invest 100000 yuan each to raise "ecological sheep." In less than half a month, the "Ecological Sheep" ring was successfully built at the edge of the Tianchiyan pond at the top of the Hongqi Power Station in Xiangshui Village. In September 2014, six young people who returned home bought 87 ewes and 3 rams of local white goats and began ecological stocking. In order to raise sheep well, they also employ local villagers as "shepherds" to herd the sheep after 9 o'clock every morning and bring them back in the evening. "the goat is a gregarious animal and is very gregarious. According to this physiological characteristic of the sheep, choose a big and flexible ram, train it into a leader who can obey the command, and hang a bell around the sheep's neck. The left-behind goats will follow when they hear the bell, so that they can control where the sheep are going." Long Liangji, the shepherd, talked about the mysteries of ecological stocking.

Long Wenyong said that the meat quality of their "ecological sheep" is very different from that of captive goats. These sheep move on more than 20,000 mu of natural grassland every day, their fat is consumed during exercise, and the rest is refined meat, which is very delicious. Since marketing began in February 2015, more than 150 sheep have been fenced, with considerable economic benefits.

Talking about the future, long Zhicha said happily that it is necessary to control the scale of goat breeding, protect the ecological balance, and take a sustainable way of raising sheep.
