Raising sheep is really profitable, why do some people still say that raising sheep loses money?

Instead of listening to others, it is better to practice on your own.

The number of sheep raised by free-range households in rural areas is not large, mostly 10 or 20, and very few are more than 30. At this scale, we can only make a little money, and it is unrealistic to think that these sheep are rich and expensive.

We belong to the rural areas of the Northwest Hexi Corridor, where most of the locals are half-captive and half-free-range multi-sheep and small-tailed Han sheep. Since the **** of sheep in August last year, the old farmers have basically made some small money, and the losses may be novice sheep farmers who are eager for quick success. To be honest, the old sheep farmer on my side hasn't seen anyone losing money these days.

Take, for example, our half-captive and half-free-range small-tailed Han sheep. If a family can raise about 20 breeding ewes in semi-captivity and semi-free-range, they are generally fed by the family, and the net income is about 30,000 yuan a year. This little money is nothing to the rich, but it is good to the peasants who don't have a better way to make money.

So, why do many people say it's a pit? There are probably three reasons:

1.Good varieties were not introduced at the time of introduction.

Presentation is very important in actual sheep farming. Because the climate and environment of each place are different, the breeds suitable for local breeding are also different, so it is necessary to observe which breeds are suitable for local breeding, and then try to introduce as many sheep as possible.

2.Feeding management is not in place, and sheep often get sick.

Sheep management is a "big project". Only by doing this well can the sheep raise money. On this issue, not to mention novice sheep raising, even old farmers are difficult to prevent.

No, this morning one of my own lambs died inexplicably, making me miserable all day. If you do this often, you will definitely not make any money.

3.The sheep raised at home do not sell for a good price.

Some farmers have no problems with the sheep at home, and the feeding management is also very good, but they can't make money. This is because the ** of sheep is high and low, and the sheep dealers who collect sheep are also "watching people eat vegetables", so we must learn to deal with these people.

Final summary. Raising sheep in rural areas can make money, but it is difficult to make big money, and small money can still be earned with snacks. People who say that raising sheep is a pit must be troubled by the above three reasons.

As long as these problems are solved, if the sheep price last year and this year still can't make money, it is really not suitable for the sheep industry.

Because the cycle of sheep is too long, it basically takes a year to raise one, and the cost of sheep breeding is very high, but the market is not very large, and many people can't afford to eat mutton.

It may be because the cost of raising sheep is also very high now, and there is a possibility of disasters.

Because raising sheep does require a lot of investment, and raising sheep is also very hard, it takes a lot of time and energy, so it is still possible to lose money.

Many people say that sheep farming in rural areas has low costs and high returns, is this true? Why don't you raise much? I'm from the wine country of Yibin, Sichuan Province, and we are not like other places, there is an endless grassland.

For sheep farming, first of all, we do not have the advantage of covering the land, we are in the south of Sichuan, with more people and less land, a typical hilly area. We don't have a lot of sheep here. There are five or six hundred households in our village, and only two or three families raise sheep.

The family that raises the most sheep happens to be my neighbors. He's 55 years old and I'm the same age as him. His family had a maximum of 100 sheep at the time, but usually 40 to 50, 50 to 60 sheep.

When the ** is good, he will sell a little, and around the winter solstice and the Spring Festival, he will sell everything he can. Now only breeding sheep and lambs remain. Sometimes we ask him that Lao Luo raised a lot of sheep this year and made a lot of money.

He would be very humble and say, "No money, what money? We sometimes say, "You can't make a penny."

You've built beautiful houses, and you've got money for two college students. Did you steal it? He just smiled and then cleverly shifted the conversation to something else.

Similarly, people from other villages saw that he was earning money by raising sheep and bought lambs from him to raise. Because there is no technology, no experience, they are all raised to death, let alone make money, and even then there is no return, and he thinks that raising sheep is a pit, which is understandable. Do it anyway?

We should keep our feet on the ground and not be overly ambitious and unrealistic. Sheep farming is no exception. If you make a lot of small money, it can turn into a big one.

As an old farmer who has been a lamb in the countryside for many years, therefore, rural goats also have money to lose money, but most rural families are missing to make money, don't let some people think that sheep raising is a pit and a loss-making business. The number of sheep raised by free-range families in rural areas is not large, basically more than 10, more than 20, and more than 30 sheep are very few. At this scale, very little money can be made, and it is unrealistic to get rich and expensive through these sheep.

Most of the sheep raised in the countryside are raised in captivity, and most of the sheep are fed with straw, a single concentrate feed, and the nutrients are unbalanced. Only a large number of breeding can control the cost, so according to this situation, everyone personally feels that the expansion of feeding to control the cost can obtain faster rights.

The lower the cost, the faster the profit personal income, most of the situation is like this, if there is any problem with their cost control, then most of them will expand the breeding for this situation, so that they can get faster profits. The volume can get faster benefits. Therefore, if this product can make money and demand a large amount, it can allow expansion and breeding.

Expand the breeding to increase the production of everyone's planting, so that the profit will be stronger.

There are many sheep farmers who like to choose a very good sheep breed among the descendants of the old sheep breed, as a new sheep breed, so that the descendants born later are likely to have some bad diseases, so it is best to buy a sheep breed again in the case of changing sheep breeds. Many sheep farmers are not very fond of vaccinating sheep, have to wait until the sheep are sick and then go to the injection and take medicine, in fact, after the usual epidemic prevention is done, the survival rate of sheep will actually be greatly improved! The breed you choose to feed sheep is not suitable for feeding in your area, due to factors such as regional environmental temperature and conditions.

The breeds of sheep that are fed are not the same, the second is the level of breeding technology and feeding awareness, because in our country sheep breeding is basically in the countryside, breeding sheep may not be as strong as other contemporary breeding professionalism, not how to accept reliable learning and training, basically rely on work experience to pass on feeding, and there is not enough understanding of learning technology, the awareness of epidemic prevention in the disease is not strong, and the epidemic prevention work is not in place, which causes sheep diseases. How we choose an effective planting commodity is very important, and only through effective selection of commodities can we make money.

Raising sheep is not profitable, the benefits of sheep raising are not satisfactory, you can increase the number of breeding, try to be self-sufficient in forage, and you have to breed yourself.

Raising sheep is not profitable, the benefits of sheep raising are not satisfactory, I personally think that expand the scale of breeding, and then engage in wholesale.

The sheep house should be cleaned, and then the work of disinfection and sterilization should be done, and proper ventilation should also be paid attention to.
