CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 89: THE ROOSTER AT THE DAIRY FARM

Xiao Xian finally decided to thoroughly investigate the origins and development of the matter. Since she made her decision, the only place left to go was the Milk Feed Factory.

Huang’s Breeding had been developing vigorously in recent years, from dairy farming to meat sheep and angora rabbits, to various kinds of poultry and ducks, with a wide range of categories.

In this area of Yanqing, the land is vast, and the key point is that the government offered great incentives during the investment attraction period, which is why Huang Tengchong decided to invest and build the most modernized scale of the Milk Feed Factory here.

He couldn’t bear to slaughter the sick cows in the cowshed with the meat sheep randomly, but instead, they were kept in the cowshed after being injected with large amounts of antibiotics. The cowshed was filled with imported Holstein Cattle, which have a large milk yield and good appetite, so there were some grasses in the feeding troughs of the cowshed, and a few cows would chew on them in the middle of the night.

According to the regulations of the Milk Feed Factory, the Holstein Cattle still needed to be checked periodically at night to observe the grass feed and milking situation, but the person in charge of the Milk Feed Factory was too lazy to arrange it, so it gave Xiao Xian an opportunity.

In Xiao Xian’s impression, the so-called Milk Feed Factory, or the place for raising cattle, should look like a cowshed.

When she and Little White Jiao entered the Milk Feed Factory, she realized her thoughts were wrong.

That Milk Feed Factory, which looked quite ordinary on the outside, had a very spacious interior, much larger than Yanqing Farm, so it should not be called a cowshed, but rather a proper cow barn.

Although it was night, the lights were still on inside the Milk Feed Factory, with dim lighting and ultraviolet disinfection lamps, Xiao Xian sneaked a peek inside and figured out the situation.

There were probably seven or eight cow barns in the Milk Feed Factory, each about sixty meters in length and seven or eight meters in width, with a pathway left in the middle for people to pass and place feed.

Next to the cow barns, there were grass sheds and feeding troughs built. Roughly counting, there were nearly a hundred cows in each barn. The sheep she had seen earlier were nowhere to be seen, and she didn’t know where they had been driven to.

Xiao Xian didn’t come here to look at cows, in her eyes, how much difference could there be between the plow oxen and dairy cows? They are just two horns and four legs.

In the northwestern most cow barn, next to the milk buckets where milk was stored, Xiao Xian found a pesticide sprayer used for spraying agricultural chemicals. It smelled the same as the pesticide sprayed on the sweet potato fields of Yanqing Farm.

"Glyphosate, it’s you, the people at the Milk Feed Factory are too wicked, trying to leave the farm barren. Then I’ll start by making sure their cows have no grass to swallow," Xiao Xian glanced at the stacked grasses in the grass shed, which had just been transported from Inner Mongolia.

Xiao Xian dumped all the remaining glyphosate weed killer into the pesticide sprayer, covered her nose and mouth with her hands, and began spraying in the cow barn’s grass shed.

After the herbicide was sprayed, it didn’t take long for the freshly moved grass feed to fade into the appearance of dry hay, and after waiting for half the night, these grass feeds would completely turn into dry hay.

Xiao Xian stealthily moved about, and the night watchman outside, drunk and drowsy, didn’t notice the sneaky figure spraying herbicide everywhere.

After reaching the last cow barn and finishing the last drop of herbicide, Xiao Xian finally happily tossed the spray bucket aside.

Behind her, a slight sound made Xiao Xian turn around and lock eyes with another pair.

The air still carried the scent of glyphosate, not particularly unpleasant, but it made the entire cow barn feel somewhat stifling.

It really was strange, the Milk Feed Factory unexpectedly raised a "rooster," and it was even a "rooster" kept in a large birdcage?

When she had sneaked in initially, Xiao Xian had looked carefully around, and clearly hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Speaking of which, this Milk Feed Factory had only been opened for just over a year, with a total of more than a dozen sheds including cow barns and sheep barns. The sheep that had gotten sick earlier were all dealt with as meat sheep, but what was strange was that the sheds for sheep now were already filled with new dairy cows. If the nearby residents saw this, they would definitely be puzzled; there hadn’t been any trucks delivering new cows this month.

The rooster Xiao Xian was confronting was hung in mid-air in the cow barn, standing on a stick similar to a swing. When Xiao Xian first entered, the rooster had been awakened, but it hadn’t made a noise, just staring at Xiao Xian with its bead-like black eyes.

Xiao Xian also looked back several times and felt something was off. She couldn’t tell what it was right at the moment. What could the Milk Feed Factory possibly want with a rooster, for it to crow and wake the cows?
