In the past two years, the prices of both cattle and sheep are relatively optimistic. As for whether it is better to raise cattle or sheep, we should analyze it according to the actual situation. If you invest 2, yuan to start a business, I suggest that you still choose to raise sheep, because it is really not enough to raise 2, cattle. Let's analyze it in detail.

how many cows can you raise for 2, yuan?

At present, the price of calves is very high. A fine calf weighing about 4 kg costs at least 12, yuan, including the cost of forage, it costs at least 18, yuan, 1 cows cost 18, yuan, and the remaining 2, yuan is just enough to build a simple shed.

It will be easier to raise p>1 cows. You can do it as a sideline when you have forage ready. Get up early for a while and go to bed for a while every day, so as not to delay other work during the day.

However, because calves are more expensive, the cost of forage is relatively high, and 1 cows will only earn 3, to 4, yuan when they are well raised. It is really not too much to invest 2, to raise cattle and earn 3, to 4, yuan a year.

how many sheep can 2, raise?

Although the price of sheep is good now, the price of breeding sheep is not much more expensive than that of commercial sheep. Young ewes weighing 8-1 kg can be bought at 1,5-1,6 yuan, and the cost of buying 5 young small-tailed Han sheep will not exceed 8, yuan, and two better Dorper rams will cost 1, yuan. 5 ewes and commercial sheep bred in the later period need a shed of 4~5 square meters, and it will cost about 5 thousand yuan if it is simply built.

Under normal circumstances, a ewe can produce an average of 3-4 lambs a year, and 5 ewes can produce 15-2 lambs. In the case of half-circle and half-release, a ewe needs the feeding cost of 8 yuan, and a lamb needs the feeding cost of 5 yuan when it is reared to 1 kg, which will cost 115, ~ 14, yuan a year. However, lambs can be released in 5-6 months, and the lambs produced each year can be divided into 3-4 batches, so there is no need for hundreds of thousands of working capital, and 6, yuan can be turned around, so 2, yuan is just enough to raise 5 ewes.

because of the large number of sheep, and the need for breeding, breeding, etc., sheep breeding can only be done as the main business, and labor input is more than raising 1 cows.

1 kg of commercial sheep can be sold for 21, ~ 28, yuan according to 14 yuan/kg when they are released, and they can earn 95, ~ 14, yuan a year after the feeding cost is removed.

Summary: Investing 2, yuan to raise sheep is more profitable than raising cattle, but it also requires more manpower than raising cattle. You can make a reasonable choice according to the situation.
