At seven o'clock in the morning, the first morning light of the Hetao Plain shone into the Zhongnanqu Village in Hangjinhouqi Shaanba Town, the road was flattened, the willow branches were lightly blown, and the whole village looked particularly neat and quiet in the morning light.
In the past, the families of Zhongnanqu Village lived by farming, scattered a few cattle and sheep, lived in adobe houses, and took dirt roads; now, almost every family in Zhongnanqu Village raised organic beef cattle, lived in brick houses, embarked on cement roads, cultural squares and fitness equipment were readily available, and the people's lives became more and more "cattle". How has this small village changed in recent years?

"I raised more than 30 small cowboys this year, and I can sell them in about 60 days, and a small cowboy can earn 2,000 yuan, and the income is quite considerable." Farmer Lü Fei told reporters while skillfully feeding the cattle. Lü Fei's cattle farm is made of red brick, spacious and clean, and the little cowboy is made strong and lively by his waiter. Recalling the previous days, Lü Fei was very emotional: "Before, the family only had about twenty acres of land, and the 20,000 or 30,000 yuan earned a year was only enough to feed themselves. Now well, help Xu a ranch to raise calf is a standardized operation process, milk and feed people provide, calves have a disease has a professional veterinarian to treat the disease, even cow dung has someone specially recycled to do organic fertilizer, their own labor and strength, and worry and can live a rich and prosperous life! ”
In addition to raising cattle, Lü Fei also contracted out all 20 acres of land, and the annual rent and grain supplements had an income of more than 10,000 yuan. When the farmer is idle, he goes to the ranch to work, the monthly salary is 45,000, and he can work for three to four months a year, and he can also earn more than 20,000 yuan. "The annual income adds up to 200,000 yuan, and the days go by more and more. Put it in the past, where dare to think of such a good thing! Speaking of the earth-shaking changes today, Lü Fei had a satisfied smile on his face.

Lu Zhengjun, a "big cattle farmer" in the villagers' mouth, raised more than 100 organic beef cattle last year, from calves to 10-12 months old, and when the weight reached 450 kilograms, Xuyi recycled at a regular price, and the net income of a cow could reach 3,000 yuan. "I also planted more than 200 acres of silage corn, and when it came to the harvest season, Asahi bought it according to the market price, and the net income of this item alone was more than 100,000 yuan a year, more than ten times higher than in the past." Lu Zhengjun, who was busy with spring ploughing, did not talk much, but he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and there was always no time for idleness. Start feeding the cattle at 7 a.m., add water to the cattle at noon, feed them again at 7 p.m., and work in the middle of the field, day after day, year after year of hard work in exchange for a good day. "Where there is no hard work to make money, there is a return on the pay!" At the beginning, I encountered financial difficulties in raising cattle, all of which were solved by Xuyi, and the enterprises and the government helped us so much, we can't live up to the current good policies! Lu Zhengjun said to reporters with a thick smile.
What kind of institution is the "Asahi One" that the villagers call it?
"The original intention of asahi Animal Husbandry was to bring the villagers to get rich together. Based on the combination of planting and breeding for the sake of breeding, the enterprise has formed a complete circular agricultural industrial chain of 'planting industry - forage production - breeding industry - slaughtering and processing - sales - waste reuse'. Yang Yi, head of Inner Mongolia Xuyi Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., said in an interview with reporters that in strengthening the connection with the interests of farmers and promoting farmers to increase their income and become rich, a mutual assistance model of agricultural enterprises of "enterprise + base + farmer" has been formed, which has driven surrounding farmers to continuously adjust the planting and breeding structure and created a new situation of win-win situation for agricultural enterprises.

At present, Xuyi Animal Husbandry has driven more than 3,000 farmers in the surrounding areas to engage in planting and breeding, the number of beef cattle breeding stocks has reached more than 100,000 heads, and the average annual income of households in Zhongnanqu Village has reached more than 120,000 yuan; at the same time, the surrounding farmers have been arranged to work in the enterprise pasture, becoming industrial workers, and realizing the help and employment at the doorstep of the family.
Organic beef cattle breeding enriched Zhongnanqu Village, and organic beef has become a "golden signboard" that drives hangjin houqi farmers to break into the market.
With the development and growth of the enterprise, Xuyi Animal Husbandry has not forgotten to assume social responsibility, and has funded more than 40 poor students, donated more than 200,000 yuan to education, disability, serious illness and other aspects; donated calves to poor households in Lika, repeatedly comforted the poor people and front-line sanitation workers, and distributed more than 1,000 boxes of beef... A series of acts of kindness have been highly praised by the local people.
Enterprises are dedicated to helping farmers, and farmers give back to hard work. Under the joint support of two pairs of powerful hands, the "cattle" cause is getting more and more cattle, and the road to prosperity of the people of Zhongnanqu Village is getting wider and wider!
