There is no perfect person under the sky, there is no perfect beef cattle, there are good cattle and poor cattle in all regions, good cattle are not necessarily excellent in all aspects, bad cattle are not necessarily without shining points, it depends on which aspect the subject will define the good, breed, growth, adaptability, disease resistance, meat yield or meat quality. Large-scale cattle breeding must pursue good breeding in order to obtain better benefits. Since the 1970s and 1980s, China has continuously introduced foreign fine breed beef cattle to cross-improve domestic cattle, of which Simmental cattle have the widest range of improvement and the best degree of improvement. Today, Mr. Qingfeng introduced the distribution of Simmental cattle in China, so that everyone can understand where the best cattle are.
1. Jilin Simmental cattle
The quality of the Simmental cattle population in Jilin is relatively excellent, which is mainly due to the high degree of early hybridization and improvement of simmitar cattle introduced locally, and the large individuality of the mother breed Yanbian cattle. The advantages of Jilin Simmental cattle are large individuals, fast growth, high feed utilization, high slaughtering rate and high market price of finished cattle, although there are many advantages but many disadvantages, such as high calf prices, poor disease resistance, large stress response, etc., after long-distance transportation is particularly prone to casualties. Experienced cattle farmers or nearby cattle farmers can go to Jilin to buy cattle, and it is not recommended to buy cattle in Jilin for new cattle breeders or in the case of long distances. In general, in the summer and autumn, most of them graze in the mountains, and when the grasses in the mountains wither in late autumn, cattle farmers will drive the cattle out of the mountains. The calves are mostly traded after descending the mountain, commonly known as the "downhill cattle". To the northeast region to buy Simmental cattle can choose to have a time period of downhill cattle, the price is slightly cheaper than usual, and the market volume has a large choice.
Although the northeast Simmental cattle are good, they are less resistant to disease and the local bovine disease epidemic is serious. For novices, it is not recommended to choose Northeast Simmental cattle for breeding without any experience. When buying cattle, be sure to select healthy cattle, and do a good job of foot-and-mouth disease and bovine lung disease serum, and do a good job of stress response treatment and breeding transition work after arriving at the scene.
2. Inner Mongolia Simmental cattle
3. Shandong Simmental cattle
The quality of the Simmental cattle population in Shandong is slightly inferior to that of the Simmental cattle in Jilin Province, but the introduction of Simmental cattle in Shandong is also earlier, and its degree of hybridization improvement is also relatively high. The advantages of Shandong Simmental cattle are that they eat more, are not picky eaters, grow fast, have strong adaptability, strong disease resistance, and strong resistance to stress, but the temperament of Simmental cattle in Inner Mongolia is not as docile as that of Jilin Simmental cattle, and the growth and meat yield are not as good as those of Jilin Simmental cattle. For novice cattle breeders who are not experienced, it is best to test their hands with Shandong Simmental cattle.
However, for cattle farmers in the south, it is easier to buy cattle in Shandong than in Jilin and Inner Mongolia.
4. Sichuan Simmental cattle
Sichuan Simmental cattle are also relatively well improved, and the formation of a Simmental cattle breed with local characteristics - Shu Xuanhua cattle, but Sichuan Simmental cattle individual, growth and meat yield are even inferior to Jiangxi Simmental cattle.
5. Liaoning Charlotte cattle
Liaoning Charlotte cattle population quality is relatively excellent, and the formation of a local characteristics of the Sherolai cattle population - Liaoyu white cattle, with large individuals, fast growth, high feed utilization rate, high slaughtering rate, high lean meat rate and high market price of finished cattle, the disadvantage is that the calf price is high, the disease resistance is relatively poor, the late growth is poor, the cow difficult yield rate is too high, so the domestic Charolais cattle breeding is only concentrated in a few areas, and has not been promoted to all parts of the country as Simmental cattle.
6. Henan Charolai cattle
The degree of hybridization improvement of the Charolai cattle population in Henan is slightly inferior to that of the Hangzhou Xialuolai cattle, but it is also good, and it has also formed a Charolai cattle population with local characteristics - Xia Nan cattle, and the advantages and disadvantages such as the Liaoning Charlotte cattle will not be repeated.
Buy Simmental Exterior 8 look!
In the same breed, the growth speed of the individual depends on the skeleton of the cow. Look at the skeleton is not to say that the higher the cow, the better, the following will be a detailed article for everyone.
1, body height Many people think that the higher the cow, the better, but it is not. Good beef cattle breeds have shorter limbs, so the body of the cow is not too high. Cattle with short limbs and a mane (qi) nail to sternum height are good cattle.
2, body length improvement is not necessarily higher the better, but the body length must be longer the better.
3, limbs The limbs of the beef cattle breed with fast growth are short and thick, which is because the body is large in the later stage, and strong limbs are needed to support the weight. If you see a cow with slender limbs and a thin body in a bull market, don't choose it.
4, bust circumference A good beef cow is cylindrical, that is, the chest circumference is about as thick as possible.
5, Jiri is also the cow's butt, must be plump. The quality of this place directly affects the meat production rate of the cattle, and also affects the growth of the cattle and the price of the cattle. The calf-jiri doesn't have to be plump, but the jiri skeleton has to be large.
6, the back We often see the term "back width and depth" in the data, and the back of the cow must be wide, so that the growth and meat yield are good.
7. Grass mouth generally refers to the jaw and esophagus of cattle. Cattle with wide grassy mouths generally eat better, fast and clean.
8, the abdomen of the cow is not good, eating more grass but not easy to get fat, commonly known as "straw bag belly". Some are innate, and some are caused by feeding grass with a large amount of water feed in the later stage, so we must not feed thin water when feeding cattle.
