Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 303 - 300: A Bull Worth 660,000? The Real-Life Astronomical Priced Bull!

Watching the black bear successfully catch a fish.

Jiang Feng decided to head back and have a good meal.

Just in time, he was feeling a bit hungry.

Seeing him about to leave, the black bear splashed out of the pool, wanting to follow.

"Xiaopang, go back, I have to go."

Jiang Feng waved at it.

The black bear was especially human-like; it could understand what Jiang Feng was saying.

Seeing Jiang Feng’s gesture, it stopped in place, just watching him.

That look made it seem quite simple and cute.

The drone was livestreaming the farewell between the man and the bear.

In the footage, the scene was very open, with a man and a bear looking at each other for a while, then the human turned and left.

The bear stayed in place, watching Jiang Feng for a long time.

Jiang Feng walked down the road, feeling great.

"Last winter, it was just pitiful to see it running out in the big winter looking for food, couldn’t even hibernate peacefully."

"I fed it some things."

"Didn’t expect this guy to know gratitude, it’s a rare individual with a lot of character."

"It’s good to help it out now."

Jiang Feng said to everyone.

Jiang Feng planned to come out again in a while to see how the black bear was doing.

After returning to the ranch, Jiang Feng continued to inspect the ranch.

With the spring lambs born, and the sowing of grass seeds, the employees were busy.

As a ranch owner, he always needed to show his face.

After seeing the lambs, another matter came to Jiang Feng’s mind, and he told the netizens:

"In a few days, I need to go bid for breeding bulls."

"Everyone might not believe it, but on the grassland, certain fluids from breeding bulls are more expensive than gold."

"There are a lot of people bidding."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the netizens were slightly stunned.

Fluids from breeding bulls?

Could it be tadpoles?

More expensive than gold?

People have always liked things of that sort.

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the netizens instantly became interested.

[Ranch owner, are you for real? Is it that expensive?]

[Goodness, I’ve learned something new again!]

[I want to hear how expensive it is!]

[Really? That stuff can be sold for money. Why do I have to pay when I collect it? Is it because I went to an unhealthy place?]

The comments poured in.

Seeing the flood of comments, Jiang Feng explained:

"Last year at this time, the fourth breeding bull auction was held in Ulgai, guess what the highest price for a breeding bull was?"

Hearing his words, the netizens speculated.

How expensive could a bull really be?

Ordinary bulls go for ten to twenty thousand, breeding bulls for eighty to ninety thousand is about right.

So many people in the comments guessed eight thousand, nine thousand, and the like.

Jiang Feng laughed and said:

"You can check online, at the fourth breeding bull auction, the highest price for a breeding bull was 660,000."

"The greatest value of a breeding bull is its ability to breed."

"Each time a breeding bull produces, it can yield one tube, which can be diluted into 50 tubes."

"Each tube sells for about 100 bucks."

"So each production can earn about 5000 bucks."

"And a breeding bull can generally produce once a week, maintaining this for at least 3 to 5 years is no problem."

"Even if it comes, it would just reduce frequency."

"Calculating for 52 weeks a year, earning 5000 each time, that’s 250,000 a year."

"This is the economic benefit brought by a breeding bull."

Jiang Feng’s words attracted great interest from the netizens.

Many went online to check, and last year’s breeding bull really did sell for 660,000.

The comments exploded instantly.

[Living isn’t as good as a breeding bull!]

[I’d like to ask how to become a breeding bull?]

[Is there such an industry for humans? I want to check it out!]

[Yes, you can go to Japan to shoot films!]

Seeing this, Jiang Feng further explained:

"Here, I’m talking about the most expensive breeding bull, because that bull had the best physical condition and fluid tests, so the price was higher."

"And because it’s an auction, there is naturally a premium, only big ranch owners can afford it."

"Generally speaking, breeding bulls aren’t constantly harvested; conditions are taken into account."

"Most ranches don’t engage in such economic activities."

"Once I get the breeding bull, I definitely won’t sell its essence, just use it to satisfy the cows on my ranch."

That’s how life is on the grassland.

Jiang Feng has his method of raising animals, not pursuing absolute profit in everything, also considering the animals’ well-being.

He doesn’t want animals on the ranch to live in discomfort.

Eat when it’s time to eat, sell when it’s time to sell, but in the process of raising them, let the livestock live more comfortably.

The fifth breeding bull auction is about to start, and the two breeding bulls on Jiang Feng’s ranch have aged and are ready to retire.

Let’s put it this way, the cattle on the ranch now, most were bred by those two.

Just because of their good genes.

Jiang Feng plans to buy another young and strong one.

In terms of a bull’s breeding abilities, even the village’s donkey can’t compare.

This kind of thing is common in farming households; not just cattle and sheep, but even chickens, ducks, and geese will seek out strong mates.

[Boss, hurry up and buy it back so I can see. Everyone online is talking about the village’s donkey. Let me see the village’s cattle too!]

[Why not buy me then, I’ll go breed!]

[I’m in! I’m super strong!]

[Cut it out. If you can’t last 30 seconds, don’t brag!]

Netizens were lively discussing.

The atmosphere in the livestream room was pleasant and harmonious.

Jiang Feng laughed and said,

"The price of breeding bulls is high, but actually the difference among the top few isn’t big. The most expensive one is mostly due to the auction circumstances, so the price is much higher."

"I can just buy a breeding bull that’s about the same."

"One from the top three, I’ll get one from the top three."

Nowadays, with advanced technology, the genetic quality of bulls has strict testing standards, and the rankings have been decided in advance.

Farmers can go see each one and then decide which to choose.

Of course, there will also be many cheaper breeding bulls up for auction.

Breeding bulls aren’t like regular bulls; breeding them is troublesome and raising them is difficult.

Nutrition needs to be kept up.

That’s why the price is high.

Netizens are particularly looking forward to this breeding bull auction.

The organizers didn’t expect this year’s auction to become inexplicably popular.

In previous years, selling breeding bulls often didn’t surpass one hundred thousand views even with news coverage.

This time, the attention on the auction skyrocketed even before it started.

A large crowd was watching the breeding bull auction.

Everyone wanted to see what kind of bull was so expensive.

Two days later, Jiang Feng arrived at Wulagai.

Wulagai is in Ximeng League, and the auction’s breeding bulls are the likes of Ujumqin cattle from Xilingol Grassland.

As such, local farmers in Ximeng who have needs or just want to join in the fun will come.

As the annual breeding bull auction, the quality of breeding bulls here is very high.

Although it’s called an auction, it’s completely different from those luxury item auctions.

This auction is more like a large farm or indoor marketplace.

Inside, there are several pens, each holding a strong breeding bull.

People come and go around, observing.

Some reporters and self-media people are filming here.

Nowadays, it is very common to see people doing self-media at events.

Jiang Feng also started live streaming.

Once the stream started, his livestream room quickly filled with viewers.

[Where’s the breeding bull?]

[Let me see what a bull as strong as me looks like!]

[Put my roommate in there, let him join the auction!]

[Don’t stop me, I want to compare my stock with these bulls!]

The comments were unusually lively.

Jiang Feng came to a pen and told everyone,

"Look at this bull; it’s the number one breeding bull in this auction, a pure-blood Xilingol Grassland bull."

"Look at this big physique, it looks tough!"

The drone filmed towards the pen area.

In the empty pen stood a jet-black, sturdy bull, quietly.

Its fur was incredibly smooth, muscles pronounced, giving it a robust appearance.

Its horns appeared full of intimidation.

Yet, its gaze was gentle and calm.

Cattle in nature are gentle creatures, though they can be terrifying when angry.

Seeing such a fierce bull, everywhere exuding extraordinary vitality.

For a moment, viewers in the livestream were briefly stunned.

This fierce?

However, online, everyone was always quick to boast.

[Not bad, about the same as me!]

[It’s half a kilo of gold, you’re eight ounces of scrap metal!]

[Is this it? The number one bull? Let it come to me and duel me!]

[Indeed, as fierce as me!]

Everyone teased freely.

The internet is just like that, Jiang Feng showed everyone two other bulls, all very fierce, hard to tell which was better at the moment.

Seeing such strong bulls, viewers urged Jiang Feng to buy them all.

Jiang Feng shook his head; one bull can produce fifty tubes a week, the ranch doesn’t need that much.

So, buying one is enough.

Soon, the tour ended, and the auction process began.

Gifts filled Jiang Feng’s livestream room, everyone was making a fuss for him to bid for the most expensive bull.

Just like watching a PK streamer, everyone wanted to see Jiang Feng win.

Jiang Feng didn’t disappoint the audience, and he himself had the intention, finally spending 520,000 to buy the number one ranked breeding bull.

It’s cheaper than last year’s 660,000.

Jiang Feng thought to himself: "50,000 for a bull, it sounds exaggerated, very expensive."

"But the brand effect and economic benefits brought by this bull are far more than fifty thousand."

"At least merchants collaborating with my ranch will know my bulls are genetically the best."

"This value is worth well over a million."
