RYUJI曰く、牛みたいな大きな動物を操るのにはコツがいるんだって
oh that's Ryugi's dad well and his boss
大人の牛は750~900kgもあるからな
his father originally started off in the
ポンドだと1650-2000だぞ
cattle transportation business and in

次は、欲しい牛がいるかチェックしに行くぞ
So, Ryuji raises Miyazaki Gyu, Gyu meaning beef
フォルムを見て太りやすそうな牛を選ぶのがポイント

入札額はどうだった
yuji goes almost every time to either
この会社で働いてどのくらいなんだ?

なんで牧場で働こうと思ったんだ?
[Music]
実は、彼はRYUJIの親友なんだ

今の入札額はどう?
cattle away from 750 to 900 kilograms
よっしゃ!全部の牛が売れたぞ!
about 1650 to 2 000 pounds
今日は獣医さんが来る日
apparently the key to encouraging cattle
牛の血液検査の結果が出るから
to walk is varying the direction of the
医療処置が必要な牛がいるか話し合いをするんだ
pole instead of strongly pulling in one
牛は年2回血液検査を受けさせて ビタミン、ミネラル、タンパク質の摂取量をチェックするんだぞ
direction
血液検査の結果をみて 餌の量の調節や添加物の管理をするんだって
[Music]
しばらくRYUJIはここにいるみたいだから

土の匂いしかしねぇ

あ、SENAだ!何してるか見に行こうぜ
ryuji gets to draw the number luigi did
それはなんだ?
Yuji, did you draw a good number?
SENAは牧場の仔牛の担当なんだ
[Music]
餌やりだけじゃなくて、健康管理もSENAの仕事
now yuji goes to check out the other
例えばこの牛は、生後2ヶ月で手術を受けたばかりだから
cattle to see if any peak is interested
回復期間、しっかりと世話をしてやるんだ
in buying he says it's important to look
オラは今、社長室っぽい部屋の前にいるぞ
at its horn for potential fattening
中に入ってみようぜ

わーすげー!トランクちょっと見てもいい?
so let me explain how it works when the

この時間を使って、今日の競りの 出荷のデータをアップデートするぞ
[Music]
牛の全ての情報はパソコンで管理してる
nice it's sold
例えば、血統書から医療カルテ、出荷内容を 全部デジタルで管理してるから
every buyer is assigned to stall so he
きちんとアップデートしていく必要があるんだ
takes the cow to the stall number
どのくらいデスクワークするんだ?
printed on the ticket that he received
今から何すんだ?
right after it was sold
朝と午後、1日2回の餌やりは毎日の日課だ

今日は朝の餌やりは他のスタッフが カバーしてくれたみたいだな
you and briefly shares with them
RYUJI は競りに行ってたから
additional information about his cattle
餌は2種類:藁のミックスと粉末のミックス
these little gestures are critical to
餌の量や粒の大きさ、比率は 牛の成長ステージに合わせてRYUJIが調整してるんだ

How long have you been with the company?
もちろん、雲海は宮崎の焼酎だぞ
Why did you decide to work in the farm?
リフトにベールクラッシャーっていう アタッチメントをつけて餌やりをしていくぞ
he's actually ruji's best friend ryugi
日本では、こういう重機を操縦するのに 特別な免許を取らなきゃいけねーの知ってたか?
met him at this auction five years ago
このリフトのおかげで、100頭いる牛舎を 10〜15分で餌やりを終えることができる
coincidentally they were in the same
お?そこらじゅうに白いブロックがあるぞ
grade having common friends and so
こりゃ、なんだ?
naturally they quickly became best
日本の夏はめちゃくちゃ蒸し暑いから
friends they started to work together
牛も熱中症になりやすいんだ
after yugi graduated from college and
この大きな塩のブロックは1ヶ月くらいでなくなっちまうんだって
now they're both hustling together to
熱中症だけじゃなくて、尿石予防にもなるんだ
become the best cattle farmers possible
一石二鳥だな!
oh that's his last cow and it sold
休みはあるのか?
what do you think about the bid price
次は粉末ミックスの餌を手であげていくぞ
and there you go he sold all of his
ところで、和牛と海外の牛肉の違いって何なんだ?
cattle today
霜降りに大きな影響を与える餌の管理は特に重要
[Music]
血統書や品種も大事だけどな
now he has a visit from the veterinarian
だから、高品質な宮崎牛を飼育するためには
today yugi is receiving the cattle's
家畜と栄養学の両方に精通している必要があるんだ
blood test results and discussing with
次は、牛の寝床の入れ替えだ
the veterinarians if they need to
寝床を清潔に保つため、そして牛のストレスを軽減させるために、 月に一度、寝床の入れかをするんだ
provide any of the cattle with medical
和牛農家の飼育方法の大きな特徴の一つは 放牧をしないこと
treatment in general the cattle have
そのかわりに小さな囲いで運動量と餌を管理してるんだ
blood tests twice a year to analyze
こうして質の良い霜降りが出来上がるんだ
their dietary intake of vitamins
日本語ではサシともいう
minerals and proteins which ultimately
肉の品質を一定に保つ役割もしてる
helps ruji manage and adjust the amount
古い敷料を取り除いたら、おがくずを敷くぞ
of food and additives he feeds to the
堆肥は捨てねーぞ
cattle so it looks like fuji is going to
このドリルの機械を使って再利用できるようにするんだ
be in this meeting for just a little bit
これは腐敗を進めてくれる機械なんだぞ
while he's doing that let's go explore
おがくずと後で混ぜて新しい寝床の完成だ
this place
おがくずの値段が最近上がったから 混ぜることで、コスト削減にもつながるんだ
they have so much cattle here but i'm
これで牛さんたちがふわふわの寝床で寝れる!
wondering if they have any other animals
ところで、宮崎牛はなんでそんなに特別なんだ?
let's go try to find out wow they have
宮崎県は良い血統の種牛に恵まれていて
10 wild cats 5 dogs 3 goats and even a
他県のブランド牛農家に出荷していることでも有名なんだぞ
pig so one of the things that kind of
終わったんか?
surprised me about this place is that i
あ、SENAも仕事終わったみたいだ
was expecting it to smell really bad but
家に帰ってシャワー浴びて着替えてきたんだな
in fact it doesn't smell that bad at all
晩めしの時間だ!
it just smells kind of like dirt in here
友達?
oh there's senna let's see what she's
家族一緒に食うのはいいことだな!
doing
今夜はRYUJIの家が経営してる店で飯を食うぞ
what's that
もちろん、RYUJIの牧場直送のプレミアム宮崎牛が食える!
so senna is responsible for taking care
なんて美味そうなんだ〜
of the calves at the farm not only
宮崎牛は芳醇な香りと、口に入れた瞬間に溶け出す食感
feeding but also keeping track of their
そして、もちろんこのパーフェクトな霜降りが特徴だ
health condition like this one who's
いつでも最高級な和牛が食えるなんて羨ましいぞ
only two months old and recently had
これはどの部分の肉なんだ?
surgery so it's her job to keep an eye
RYUJIの好きな部位はなんだ?
on these recovering calves
夜、牛舎のチェックするのも毎日の日課
so just in front of me right here it
朝から晩まで、牛が餌を与えられていて 良い環境にいることを管理するのが農家の仕事だ
looks like it's the president's room
今、 RYUJIと彼女は最終チェックしてることろ
let's go see what's inside
終わるまでもう少しかかるみてぇだ
oh there's someone in there excuse me
終わったら帰宅して、ゆっくり過ごして
you have a meeting with the president
12時ごろに就寝するんだって
you have a meeting with the president
これが和牛農家の1日だ
He also says Miyazaki can be bought
コメント欄でどう思ったか教えてくれ
What kind of website?
動画を楽しんでもらえたら、いいねボタンで教えてくれ
What kind of website?
チャンネルサポートはグッズ購入からお願いな
He also says Miyazaki Beef
オラの日常はインスタでチェックできるぞ
from the farm can be bought directly
今回みたいな1日密着動画や日本関連の動画に興味があったら
from their new website delivery starting
チャンネル登録してくれよな!
in japan while also currently preparing
じゃあまたな
to expand delivery to other countries
allowing customers to taste the best of
the best japanese wagyu beef brands from
their own home i'll leave a link in the
description so you can check it out oh
that's a picture of yuji's grandfather
from 1935 he used to drive a horse
carriage that carried wood from the
mountain
[Music]
since a few of the cattle were
exhibiting signs of heat stress they're
using a thermal imaging camera to check
the temperature of the barn as well as
the surface of the cows
it seems like they've decided to install
additional fans throughout to help
circulate the air better
now they're doing any follow-up checks
on any of the sick cattle
oh damn this calf is getting an iv bag
treatment
wow that's dope can i see inside your
trunk
wow he has all the medicines and tools
for any occasion and apparently he
doesn't just treat sick cattle but also
helps deliver calves how many farms do
you visit a day
[Music]
Yey lunch time. What are you eating today?
his job is pretty physical so he really
needs to fuel up during lunch you're not
eating
After lunch, cigarette break
break
he has a little time before his lunch
break is over so he makes use of it to
update all of his records from today's
cow auction sale all cattle information such as pedigree, certificate information
such as pedigree certifications medical
history and sales are all digitally
recorded so it must be diligent to
always keep the records up to date how
often do you have to do office work
[Music]
know
[Music]
What are you doing now?
[Music]
[Music]
he feeds his cattle twice a day morning
and afternoon i guess today the other
staff took care of the morning feed
since he was at the auction he uses two
kinds of feed he makes a nutritional mix
he makes adjustments on the amount size
of grain and ratio of feed depending on
the stage of the cattle this bag is 200
kilograms of feed mix consisting of oats
hay timothy grass and unkai sochi slops
and of course that sochu is from
miyazaki
first he uses this lip with an
attachment called the bail crusher
interestingly in japan you're required
to get a specialized driver's license in
order to operate heavy farm equipment by
using this lift system it only takes 10
to 15 minutes to feed a barn of a
hundred cattle
oh there's white blocks lying around
everywhere what's this
[Music]
summers in japan get extremely hot and
humid which makes it easy for cattle to
get heatstroke so these big blocks which
get consumed in less than a month help
prevent that from happening and it also
helps prevent urinary calculi so i guess
that's good by the way do you have any
days off?
now he feeds the cattle with a
nutritional mix by hand so what's the
biggest difference between wagyu and foreign beef?
Feed management is absolutely
crucial when it comes to marbling of the
meat as much as breeding and pedigree
that's why in order to raise a premium
miyazaki beef a farmer must need to be
knowledgeable in both livestock and
nutrition
now he changes the soil bed for the
cattle changing it every month to
maintain a clean environment as well as
helping to minimize the cattle's stress
one of the significant differences of
wagyu farms is that they don't graze
their cattle but instead have smaller
pen to control the amount of exercise
and feeding to create a better marble or
in japanese sashi as well as consistency
and meat quality
so after removing the compost bedding he
lays out fresh sawdust the older compost
is not thrown away though rather it's
recycled by using their on-site drill
machine which helps speed up the
fermentation process it's later mixed
with the sawdust to create a new bedding
to help save on costs as sawdust prices
have increased these days and now the
cattle have a clean floppy bedding so
what's so special about miyazaki beef
miyazaki is known to be blessed with
amazing bull studs with great pedigree
so much so that many other prefecture
brand bee farmers buy them to grow their
cattle are you done
[Music]
oh i guess senna is done with her work
for today
oh nice it looks like he went home first
to shower and change and now it's dinner
time
[Music]
is she your friend
i love it a family that eats together
tonight yuji's having dinner at his
family's restaurant which of course
serves premium miyazaki beef directly
from his farm
that looks amazing miyazaki beef is
known for its rich aroma melting soft
texture and of course that perfect
marble it must be nice to be able to
have premium wagyu whenever you want
which part of the beef is this
[Music]
[Applause]
checking on the cattle at the end of the
night is also part of his everyday
routine as a farmer it's important for
him to ensure that his cattle are well
fed and comfortable day and night so if
yuji and his girlfriend are doing their
final check right now they're gonna stay
here for a little bit longer until
they're finished after that they'll go
home chill and probably go to sleep
around 12 at midnight tonight so that's
pretty much a day in the life of a
