In the case of the same funds, I will choose cattle instead of sheep, because both cattle and sheep have been raised, knowing the ditch.
Let's talk about raising sheep first. There are scattered sheep and fattening sheep. Free-range sheep make money by lambs, and when they feel the same year after year, they make steady profits.
This is what people think when they have never experienced a sheep trough. In fact, once the sheep enter the trough, believe it or not, you don't even want to have lambs, but you want to have more. That's all money. If the ewe is well fed, it will be enough for two lambs. If there are too many, you have to pay for milk powder and milk. When the sheep are expensive and earn money, throw them away.
It is also dangerous for a big ewe to feed two lambs. Once the feed nutrition can't keep up, the big ewe will fall down when she gets sick. Usually, a big ewe will feed a lamb.
Fattening sheep can be divided into lamb fattening and shelf sheep fattening. My family raises lambs. Sheep are expensive, but lambs are expensive. The income per fattening sheep is 50 to 100 yuan. Sheep are cheap and lambs are cheap. Lambs can't even earn 50 yuan a day. I said 100% survival rate. So far, my home hasn't arrived.
There is a limit to fattening lambs when they are sold. Once fattened, the price of mutton will come down and it will be released in three months. Otherwise, if you raise a lamb for one day, you will lose one day, and the female lamb is one yuan cheaper than the male lamb.
Regardless of fattening and free-range, vaccines should be given in place, and all kinds of foot-and-mouth disease, sheep pox, even seven vaccines and insect repellent needles should be given. Always observe the sheep of neighbors and people around you. Someone else's sheep is sick, so you should take precautions first.
Besides, cattle, free-range cattle, also rely on group development, that is, in the process of stocking, cattle are also growing. Cows are annual calves, cows are cheap and bulls are expensive, and everyone likes males. Raw cattle can only be raised by breeding.
When the price of cattle is low, there is no need to consider the problem of calves. There is only one calf a year. After winter, it can live by eating grass in spring.
Fattening cattle, when sold, are divided into varieties, and the meat yield is somewhat different. It takes 5 to 6 months for cattle to fatten, during which we can judge the market of cattle in advance. Because cattle breed slowly, the market will not fluctuate too much.
Only foot-and-mouth disease has been used in fattening and free-range cattle raising in China. I have been raising cattle for seven or eight years, and no one has died. It is not easy to raise cattle to death in the countryside.
With the same capital, I think cattle will earn more, and the loss rate of cattle is almost zero, but sheep can't. Because sheep breed quickly and the price fluctuates quickly, while cattle breed slowly and the price fluctuates slowly. Generally speaking, the bull market is easier to master.
