The countryside is a good place, with good mountains and water and better pastures. Raising cattle in rural areas requires unique natural advantages. Shan Ye, a vast rural area with suitable climatic conditions, is rich in weeds and crops, which can be used to feed cattle and sheep. It is a very good roughage, thus greatly reducing the amount of feed, saving investment costs and increasing profits.

If you only spend 6.5438+10,000 yuan to invest in raising cattle, it will be relatively small, because at present, in the market, a good breed of calves will cost about 6.5438+10,000 to 6.5438+0.3 million, and 6.5438+10,000 yuan can buy 6-7 calves at most.

There are 23,000 to 30,000 fertile heifers in the market. You can only buy three fertile heifers with a maximum of 654.38+10,000 yuan. At present, the price of a heifer weighing about 800 kg is around 25,000. If you have a cow source, you can look for it locally. At the beginning of raising cattle, my suggestion is to buy a heifer that can be bred and come back for breeding. You can sell the calves born after breeding, or you can raise them yourself and expand your farm.

You don't have much money left after you buy cattle. You can spend about 2000 yuan to raise cattle in this cowshed, and you can build a cowshed, 20 or 30 square meters.

Under your careful management and care, three cows can generally produce three calves a year. If you raise the calf to about 400 kg, you can sell it at the current market price of 6,543.8+0,000 to 6,543.8+0.3 million, then excluding the breeding cost, there is still a profit of 30,000 yuan a year. Investing 65438+ 10,000 earned 30,000, which is about 30% of the profit.

Now let's talk about raising sheep with 65438+ ten thousand yuan.

In rural areas, if you invest 654.38+10,000 yuan to raise sheep, it will definitely be much more tiring than raising cattle, because there are more sheep, you have to spend more energy and time. However, raising sheep is tiring, but it breeds faster. /kloc-0 raises 30 heads per year, which may become 1 00 heads in the second year.

If you invest 65,438+million yuan in rural areas, you can raise about 30 ewes this year, and then match 1 ram. At present, the price of an adult ewe in the market is about 1800 yuan. A perennial ram is about 1600. In this way, it will cost about 56,000 yuan to buy sheep breeds, and the remaining money will cost 1 1,000 yuan to build a sheepfold, and then 30,000 yuan to buy feed. If you have the conditions to put sheep in the countryside, you can adopt a semi-captive and semi-stocking farming model, which can reduce your own farming costs.

Because the breeding has just started, it may be that the management of breeding technology is not in place and the experience is not enough, which will lead to a large proportion of lamb deaths produced by you and ewes. It depends on your actual situation. According to normal farmers, the survival rate of lambs born by their ewes is about 85%.

30 ewes, each ewe gives birth to one fetus every year, with 2~3 ewes per fetus. The number of lambs that can breed in a year is about 85. The lamb can be weaned when it is raised to more than 30 kilograms. At present, lambs weighing more than 30 kilograms on the market are about 900 yuan each. If you count 85 lambs, it is equal to 76 500 yuan. Excluding the breeding cost of about 30 thousand yuan, you still have a profit of 46 thousand yuan. The investment is 654.38 million yuan, and the profit is more than 40,000 yuan, which is very impressive.

Generally speaking, the profit of raising cattle in rural areas is about 30,000 yuan, and the profit of raising sheep in rural areas is about 40,000 yuan. In this way, the benefits of raising sheep will be better. This is just the relevant data listed for your reference. The actual situation still depends on the real situation of the market.

Do you think it's better to raise sheep or cattle? This is based on your own needs, starting from your own local actual situation.
