This auction really opened Lao Wang's eyes.

The animal husbandry auction I attended last time was generally more official, with hosts, white gloves, and a variety of animal husbandry products.

This time I hosted my own items, such as ranchers, cowboys, parents and children, etc., from 70 to 80 years old to 70 or 80 years old.

The reason why children appeared at the auction was because a child raised several lambs, which also brought them to the auction. It was said that the family ranch was not effective in the last breeding season, so he wanted to sell the lambs to buy lambs for his father to raise money.

Lao Wang was very moved when he saw it. He took a photo and kept it for the little loli to see. Look, what kind of enlightenment is this? The difference between the two children is too big. Other people's children are different from their own naughty children.

He took photos of several lambs, but he didn't know how many of them he finally paid 8,000 yuan to get the lambs. The audience applauded him, and the people around him shook hands with him to congratulate him.

Such auctions are more amateur, but Wang Bo thinks they are better than those organized by the official.

The amateur he mentioned is the host's amateur. In fact, the on-site facilities are very professional. The auditorium is located in a thousand square meters. It has an auction venue, a livestock shed and a fence. Because the rancher or cowboys are responsible for auctioning sheep, they know the situation better and answer questions.

The first auction lasted four hours, and at the end everyone was so hungry that their stomachs were rumbling.

Wang Bo thought it was almost over, but Thomas smiled and said to him: "This is just the beginning. Don't underestimate such a country auction, it's quite large."

Starting from the afternoon, more sheep came to the scene. There were various agricultural vehicles parked in the parking lot outside the auditorium, about hundreds of which were particularly spectacular.

Wang Bo and Thomas came back after lunch together and saw that there were some mobile feeding fences in the backyard of the small auditorium, which contained various sheep and alpacas.

Seeing him surprised, Thomas smiled and said, "It's nothing strange. Alpacas are also regarded as sheep in the pasture. Are you interested? I remember that the last time you attended the auction, it was just for alpacas, right?"

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I was interested last time, forget it this time."

There was a queue at the entrance behind the auditorium, and a girl was registering in front of the computer. There was an old cowboy next to it to check the information to ensure that the information was not incorrect.

Thomas saw that Wang Bo was unfamiliar with such an auction, so he introduced to him: "In your Chinese language, these sheep had already had a master before the auction. What sheep do you need and what price sheep you need, are now ready."

Not only sheep are going to participate in the auction, but also sheep raising tools and forage grass.

The auction in the afternoon is more formal than in the morning. The morning is a family relationship. In the afternoon, everyone returns to practical applications and starts to take the path of capitalism.

There were two girls delivering brochures, which were very rough. It was obvious that they were made temporarily because there was a printer under the auction table and was sending paper out.

The auctions were a bit messy in the morning, but in the afternoon the situation improved a lot, and the auction items were in sequence.

Wang Bo looked at it and followed the order of fattening sheep, ewes, ewes in the growth period, ewes, rams, rams, lambs, and disabled sheep.

The auction was held like a flower-like auction. Sheep were constantly dared to enter the fence, and they quickly caught up with the field. The owner followed the price on the field.

Because most of these ranchers know each other privately and understand the sheep in advance, there is no need to cheat on the filming, just say whatever you want.

Thomas asked, "What can you tell from the current auction?"

Wang Bo observed carefully and said, "Well, the most fattening sheep breeding was taken, and the least growing rams were produced, which means that the sheep farming industry is still very popular locally. Everyone is not going to sell the breeding sheep and don't do it."

"Then what?"

Wang Bo said: "There is also the price of forage this year is relatively high, exceeding the psychological price of ranchers. The profit margin is too low. Everyone should reduce the number of fattening and breeding sheep and reduce investment to escape the difficulties."

“Is there any more?”

Wang Bo thought about it carefully and shook his head: "It's gone, what else?"

Thomas smiled and said, "You saw a lot of things. I didn't expect that as the mayor, you are so concerned about the animal husbandry industry. But what you saw is not enough."

"For example, there are many varieties of sheep bidding and chaotic, and there are many differences among individual groups. This shows that the local sheep breeding industry is still in its initial stages, and everyone has not reached a consensus on which sheep is better to raise."

Wang Bo suddenly realized that he did not realize that this was because he lacked experience, and in addition, he used Chinese thinking to consider this issue.

In the eyes of Chinese people, eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and so on breeding. Try to raise several varieties. If a certain variety has poor market prospects, there are other options.

New Zealanders don’t think so. A mature market is a unified market. Everyone breeds the same variety, so the matching of breeding, treatment, pasture equipment and breeding tools will be even higher.

"Kulau is a traditional agricultural and animal husbandry area, but large-scale sheep breeding has just emerged. Because the local area is mainly descended from Britain and France, they like to eat beef but not mutton. This time, a special sheep auction is organized, which means that ranchers can work together."

Thomas smiled and said, "You may think it's meaningless, but if I'm a black-hearted rancher and I want to have fewer competitors, then at such an auction, I can find someone to buy some inferior sheep breeds at a high price. Guess what the consequences will be if I do this?"

Wang Bo sighed: "Everyone would think that these inferior sheep breeds are the most popular, and then they flock to carry out wrong breeding."

"right."

Wang Bo listens to the price. Fattening sheep is usually about taking out at a weight of 50 to 80 pounds, and the price is between 150 and 250 yuan.

Compared with the sheep produced in Sunset Ranch, the price is simply the Mariana Trench price, but Thomas said the price is 15% higher than last year, which shows how cheap the ordinary mutton in New Zealand is.

To be honest, if it weren't for Thomas' introduction, Wang Bo would have never expected that the sheep breeding industry would not be very popular in Kulao, because New Zealand's sheep are almost the business card of the country's animal husbandry industry.

New Zealand has a developed animal husbandry industry, which is the economic foundation of the country. The animal husbandry output value accounts for 80% of the total agricultural output value, and the population engaged in animal husbandry also accounts for 80% of the agricultural population. The export volume of mutton and dairy products ranks first in the world, the export volume of wool is second in the world, and the output of coarse wool accounts for 40% of the total world output!

He checked the reasons online and found that the Kulao sheep farming industry is indeed underdeveloped. The breeding here is mainly cattle, deer, chicken and duck. The reason why sheep was not raised before was that there were too many sheep in New Zealand, and the local area believed that the profit margin of the sheep industry was too small.
