Farmers return to their hometown to raise red deer to help rural tourism get rich

"Why, what is this?" On April 1, in the modern characteristic eco-agricultural park in Banqiao Township, Qingchuan County, more than a dozen foreign tourists were attracted by a group of animals they had never seen before. Across the steel guardrail, there are seven or eight furry animals like horses and deer in a brick-concrete enclosure of more than 100 square meters. Some of them stood still and stared at the tourists outside the circle, some walked around as if no one was there, and some ran wildly.

"this is the red deer, just across the circle, the stag and the doe score switch." Zhang Ya, the park administrator, told tourists that the red deer were transported back from thousands of miles last year and belong to a special breeding project.

It turned out that several villagers in Shangmafang Village, Banqiao Township, were engaged in construction projects. When they saw that it was very profitable to raise red deer locally, they decided to go back to their hometown to raise red deer. Banqiao Township happens to be in Shangmafang Village to build a modern agricultural characteristic industrial park, the two sides hit it off. In November last year, a red deer breeding community with an investment of more than 2 million yuan and covering an area of more than 20 mu was completed, and more than 110 red deer were immediately transported to the park from *.

"the red deer is of high value, but we do not sell raw materials, but rely on the company to develop a series of products. In this way, we can not only achieve sustainable development, but also achieve higher benefits. " According to Zhang Ya, they predict that an average red deer can make a net profit of about 20,000 yuan a year. At present, more than 150 red deer in the park can earn more than 3 million a year, and can also provide jobs for more than 100 local people.

"at present, the park is still funded, and there will be profits in two years' time." Zhang Ya said, "the township party committee has helped us plan and coordinate 70 mu red deer breeding area, which is still under construction." After the construction is completed, it will attract more people to visit, boost the rural tourism here, and increase the ways for the masses to get rich. "
