Get rid of poverty and become rich: "Beef cattle farming has lifted me out of poverty."

"Moo". On July 10, the reporter came to Shangzhai Village, Langzhong Township, Puyang County, and heard the cries of the cowshed before entering the cowshed where the villagers were still good. As soon as he entered the barn, Shang Shanqian and his wife were adding feed to the beef cattle, causing the beef cattle to "moo". Looking at a head of strong beef cattle, Shang Shan said happily: "it is beef cattle breeding that has lifted me out of poverty."

In 1989, Shang Shanqian married his wife and went out for transportation with his cousin. For more than ten years, although the family is not rich, but the small life is not bad. Unexpectedly, in 2011, Shang Shanqian suffered from protruding lumbar disc and could not continue to run and transport, so he had to go back home to recuperate. With no income and two more children going to school, the expenses are high, and the life of the family gradually becomes poor. At this time, Shang Shanqian's wife had to go out to work, supporting the whole family on a meagre income. Seeing that some of the neighbors have built new houses and some bought cars, Shang Shanqian is in his eyes and anxious in his heart. In a telephone conversation with relatives from other places, he learned that the income of beef cattle breeding was stable and the benefit was high, so he discussed with his wife about raising beef cattle at home.

In the early days of raising beef cattle, when there was no technology and a lack of funds, Shang Shanqian transformed his yard into a cowshed and took out the only savings at home, plus the funds pooled around with relatives and friends. More than a dozen Simmental, Charolais and other breeds of cattle with short feeding cycle, fast fattening and considerable economic benefits have been introduced from other places. From then on, while raising cattle, he learned the knowledge of raising cattle, went to other cattle farms to learn skills, and began a life with cattle all day long: on weekdays, he worked as a "cow babysitter" and took good care of a beef cow; when the cow was sick, he was a "veterinarian" and injected himself to prevent the epidemic; when the cow gave birth, he became a "midwife" and looked after the calves day and night. Shang Shanqian earned 60,000 yuan in his first year. The "first bucket of gold" made him see the prospect of raising beef cattle and strengthened his confidence in raising beef cattle.

In 2014, Shang Shanqian decided to exchange land with his neighbors and build a new cowshed, but his family opposed it. "I am an entrepreneur now, but I am also a part of our village. I not only want to make a good life for our family, but also to blaze a way for the village to get rich. " After successfully persuading his family, he borrowed 50,000 yuan from the rural credit cooperatives and built a modern cowshed of more than 300 square meters in the east of his home. After careful management, up to now, his cowshed has more than 40 barns, with an annual output of 25, with a cumulative income of more than 400,000 yuan.

Today, Shang Shanqian has already taken off the hat of poverty and become a big farmer in the village. his daughter is about to graduate from graduate school, his son has also been admitted to university, and his family has bought a car, which has undergone earth-shaking changes. Other villagers saw that Shang Shanqian beef cattle had been lifted out of poverty and asked him for advice on breeding techniques. At present, two poor households plan to join the ranks of raising beef cattle to shake off poverty and become rich.
