    Raising cattle and sheep in the countryside is also a way for most people to get rich. Because breeding cattle and sheep and breeding pigs are different from chickens, the growth cycle of cattle and sheep is longer, the rate of return will be longer, and the rate of return will be higher, which leads to the fact that the cattle and sheep are relatively stable, and pigs and chickens belong to the popular breeding category. The growth rate is very fast, the rate of return is also fast, and there is a high risk comparison, you will find that cattle and sheep breeding has more potential.

    In previous years, the first beef and mutton will also make the farmers full of joy, because the first beef and mutton has been rising, so that the farmers have also made a lot of money, so in this case there will be people who continue to join the industry for novices who do not understand the breeding methods and tricks, blindly join in, I don't know what to pay attention to. In the process of breeding, the feed should be fed regularly and quantitatively, and the amount of forage eaten by the cattle should also be adjusted according to the different seasons.

    In spring and winter, green hay is the main crop. Compound feed is supplemented, in which compound feed can be reasonably mixed with soybean cake, cornmeal, etc., and in addition to summer and autumn, it is necessary to give the cattle some grass to eat. And to feed the cattle more food or medicine to help digestion and prevent food accumulation, which can help the cattle improve their own immunity.

    It is also necessary to observe the physical condition of the cow from time to time, if the cow's tongue is relatively red, it means that the cow is on fire. If the color of the cow's tongue is relatively green, then the cow is suffering from cold, and it is necessary to use medicine according to different conditions.

    After the cattle diet, let the cattle go for a walk for about 15 minutes, which can help promote digestion and strengthen metabolism to prevent indigestion. And to ensure that the trough and sink in the cowshed are fully prepared, and to be regularly disinfected and sanitized, if the living environment of the cattle is not up to standard, it will also increase the probability of cattle getting sick. Also pay attention to the warm winter and cool summer of the cowshed, in order to keep the cattle warmer in winter, you can let the cattle bask in the sun more, and in summer to prevent insects, flies and sun exposure.

    Make sure the environment where the cattle live is cool and ventilated.

    Cattle need to be vaccinated, they need to be fed, they must be fed with clean water, disinfected regularly, and diseases must be prevented; Raising sheep is still very profitable.

    I think that raising sheep makes money, and if you raise cattle, you should pay attention to regular vaccination, so that cattle are not easy to get infectious diseases.

    I think the most taboo thing about raising livestock is that there are infectious diseases among animals, so epidemic prevention measures must be in place. Now raising these livestock is not very profitable, because the cost of breeding is high, and the risk is relatively large, and the market is not particularly good.

    The cost of raising sheep, including buying lambs, breeding bases, feed, grass, vaccines, labor costs not to mention, if you raise 100 sheep, the cost of about 180,000 yuan, sheep breeding time is shorter than cattle, generally 7 to 8 months can be captive cattle disease resistance is stronger than captive sheep, like my family used to raise cattle, mainly to feed them wheat straw and corn stalks, feed them a day concentrate feed, and then give them enough water, basically do not have to worry. Now the small-tailed Han sheep are not so trouble-free.

    If you want to fatten cattle, after the end of the year, start to harvest cattle, and then at the end of the year, if you want to maintain an income of 100,000 yuan, you have to engage in at least fifteen to 20 cattle, and now the first head of cattle is more than 10,000 yuan, plus your rural cattle are now relatively mostly in captivity, and there are grazing in a few places where conditions permit. The advantage of cattle farming is that there are relatively few diseases in cattle and they are easy to manage. The disadvantage of cattle raising is that there is a lot of investment in the early stage, the breeding cycle is long, and the effect is slow, and it takes 2-3 years.

    Nowadays, with the transfer of labor force to the city in the countryside, there are more and more abandoned land in the countryside, and a lot of fertile land has become overgrown with weeds, so it is particularly suitable for breeding cattle and sheep, producing grass-fed livestock, as long as the breed is selected and the prevention is done, the production efficiency of cattle and sheep is still very much A cow earns 4,000 yuan in profits, so 10 cows you earn 40,000 yuan in nearly a year. If you raise breeding cattle, you can only buy 6-7 breeding cows for 100,000 yuan this year, and after they come back, they will breed, the calves will be born, and they will be at least 5 months after birth.

    It's not good to one-sidedly say which one is easy to raise and make money. Personally, I think that sheep and cattle are relatively better than sheep, from the perspective of making money, it depends on how much money is invested, how long can you make money, if it is the same money to give birth to calves, give birth to one every year, when there is a female calf raised, it gives birth to calves, one after another, and there are a lot of cattle after a few years. Cattle are easy to raise, they are not afraid of the sun, they don't need to drink water, they are not picky eaters, they eat any grass, and they are completely different from buffaloes.

    Sheep raising is more profitable, because the cost of sheep raising is relatively low, the floor area is not large, the feed cost and labor cost are relatively low, and the slaughter rate is high, the breeding time is short, and the shipping channels are wider.

    I think that if you are engaged in farming in the countryside, it is more profitable to raise cattle, because one market for cattle does not fluctuate much, while other sheep markets fluctuate greatly.

    Raising sheep is more profitable, because sheep are easier to feed, and it is good to let them out to eat grass every day, and the income is higher.

    At present, I think it is more profitable to raise cattle, but there is a premise that there are as many cattle as sheep, and it is very difficult to judge which one is more profitable if the number is not the same, but it is very good to raise cattle and sheep.

    Of course, it is still to raise cattle to make money. However, the technical content of cattle raising is a little higher, and the investment is much larger than that of sheep raising, of course, the more investment you make, the more you will naturally earn.

    In recent years, there have been many breeding industries in rural areas, such as cattle and sheep are more common, but farmers have called out, now breeding cattle and sheep are not very profitable, on the one hand, now increasing the environmental protection conditions of breeding, virtually increasing the cost of breeding, so the trouble of raising cattle or raising sheep? Let's find out which one has more breeding prospects!

    Sheep raising funds are not high, tens of thousands of can be completed breeding, for the general farmers, investment of 350,000 can breed dozens of ewes, cattle for the capital requirements, a fattening cow needs to invest 10,000 yuan, breeding more, the investment of funds will increase, for the general farmers cost pressure is still very great. The cycle of raising sheep is relatively short, you can see the benefits in one year, 10 months of ewes, you can breed to produce new lambs, and new lambs can bring good profits, and cattle for self-breeding, it takes at least 2-3 years, and cows need more than a year to breed, calves can be born in 10 months, 18 months to slaughter, so the cycle of cattle breeding is significantly higher than that of sheep.

    Cattle are easier to manage, raising a cow to reach 5-10 sheep, easier to manage, cattle breeding cycle is long, only need to be delivered once a year, and sheep need to be delivered twice, the number of sheep is large, management is more troublesome, in addition, cattle disease resistance is stronger than sheep, cattle need to prevent and control common diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, cattle lung disease and pasteurella, and sheep need to prevent sheep fast disease, sheep gangrene, sheep enterotoxemia, lamb dysentery, sheep pox, sheep mouth sores, foot-and-mouth disease and other diseases, difficult to manage.

    In recent years, the market for mutton and beef is very good, but on the whole, cattle raising is more stable, and cattle prices have maintained a steady growth trend, while the threshold for sheep raising is relatively low, and the herd is expanding quickly, so it also has a certain breeding profit.

    Sheep raising, in the semi-grazing and half-house feeding mode can be done two or two years three children, each litter 2 5 lambs, two years or so can return to the cost. It takes at least 3-4 years for cattle to return to the cost, so the return on the cost of sheep is much faster than that of cattle.

    Personally, I think there are pros and cons, the investment in cattle raising is relatively large, the money is slower, but the economic benefits produced in the later period are higher, but the investment in sheep raising is smaller, the money is faster, and the economic benefits produced in the later period are not too high.

    1. According to their own ability and the size of the site, if there is a capital and a site, of course, it is still a high benefit for cattle raising.

    2. No matter what you breed, you can't go because you look at the economic benefits. When you're going to do that, be sure to reduce your expected profit by 50% and increase your risk expectation by 100% so that you can evaluate the cost-effectiveness. There is the determination to breed, but also the patience of farming.

    Cattle and sheep are all livestock that need to be fed every day, and they must not be neglected.

    3. From the perspective of management, cattle raising is simpler, because beef cattle have stronger disease resistance and lower morbidity. If sheep raising is compared with raising chickens and pigs, it is certain that sheep raising is easier to manage, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

    Which is better, cattle or sheep, this has to be analyzed from the economic aspect, if you raise sheep, you can put 100 200 sheep if there are idlers at home, and he does not need to put the cow, as long as there is a cowshed to buy feed, it can be more worry-free, but the consumption is relatively high.

    In terms of economic value and income, beef cattle are more cost-effective, and now a pound of beef is sold for more than 40 yuan. It seems that if you don't have grassland there and can't raise sheep and beef cattle, it is also a good choice.

    The profitability of sheep and cattle is generally based on the comparison of quantity. In general, one cow can be worth about 10 sheep. But if you have 200 head of cattle and you want to raise sheep, then you have to raise 2,000 head of sheep.

    They produce about the same value, but we ignore the fact that raising 2,000 sheep requires more space than raising 200 cows, and that 2,000 sheep are more troublesome than tending to 200 cattle. That's why there are more cattle breeders than sheep breeders.

    However, sheep raising also has its advantages, if we are not large-scale breeding, it is generally better to choose to raise sheep, because the return of sheep is relatively fast, that is, the benefits are quick to take effect, unlike cattle raising It takes a year or two. Too long is a bit difficult for small and medium-sized farmers.

    Raising cattle and sheep is definitely better than raising sheep, because the cost of raising sheep is not high, and its income may be higher than that of raising cattle, because it is not very technical.

    Sheep and cattle raising are markets, almost, and both are roller coasters. Both are ruminants, but the cattle eat more and earn more slowly, and the sheep eat less and earn less quickly, but they are almost the same as the same as the previous year. Cattle all know that a cow's ** is very high, the reproduction is slow, the investment is very large, and the sheep reproduction is fast and effective.

    Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

    Cattle are easier to manage than sheep, first of all, a cow is worth almost 5 10 sheep, and it is certainly easier to manage a cow than 5 10 sheep; Secondly, the breeding cycle of cattle is longer, under normal circumstances, only one breeding and delivery a year, while sheep need to be bred twice a year and delivered twice, plus the number of sheep is very troublesome to manage only breeding.

    Speaking of cattle or sheep, which is better?

    I think it depends on the situation here, and the specific situation cannot be generalized, and the cycle of raising sheep to make money is relatively fast.

    If you look at it from a family point of view, I'm tickling is pretty good.

    But cattle raising if it is on a scale.

    Sheep disease complex, diverse, generally in the early stage of the disease or in the case of a small illness is not easy to show, if the sheep do not carry out the vaccination on time, it will make some local infectious diseases sporadic or endemic epidemic, resulting in high sheep mortality, low economic efficiency, and cattle disease less, relatively easy to treat. Sheep are particularly sensitive to odors and generally do not eat odorous forage, which is not the case in cattle raising.

    1. Why do they say that cattle are not raised?

    1. The diseases of sheep are complex and diverse, and they are often not easy to show in the early stage of the disease or in the event of minor diseases. If farmers do not carry out immunization, some endemic infectious diseases will be sporadic or endemic, resulting in high sheep mortality and low economic efficiency. Cattle have fewer diseases and are relatively easy to treat.

    This means that sheep farming requires more demanding operating techniques, while cattle raising does not require such a high level of breeding technology.

    2. Sheep are particularly sensitive to smells, and they don't like to eat when the forage smells.

    3. Cattle begin to enter the fattening period when the cattle weigh more than 600 kilograms, and can be slaughtered after almost 3 months of fattening period; Lamb fattening, from 2-4 months of age to enter the fattening period, and then 2 months of breeding can reach the slaughter standard.

    Second, the precautions for sheep raising

    1. When grazing, we should generally choose a low depression on the sunny slope that is sheltered from the wind and the sun, the terrain is high and dry, and the water source is good. Raise your grazing at a warm time in the middle of the day on a sunny day, do not graze too much forage at one time, and do not let the goats eat the frosty grass and drink ice water.

    2. The sheep house should pay attention to cold protection and warmth, try to disinfect the sheep house with disinfectant, keep the sheep house dry and avoid moisture.

    3. After the sheep are grazed and returned to the house, a certain amount of weeds and supplements should be fed, and the sheep should be provided with drinking water, so that the sheep can eat and drink enough. Each sheep is fed 20-30 grams of salt and 200-250 grams of corn, barley, soybeans, broad beans, cakes and other crushed mixtures every day.

    4. The sheep house should be well ventilated, clean and dry, and the sheep body should be clean. The sheep house should be frequently removed, cleaned, dried and changed frequently, and the house should be disinfected with quicklime and plant ash from time to time. After the sheep go out to graze, the doors and windows in the house should be opened for ventilation and ventilation, and the ammonia and moisture in the house should be discharged.

    5. Reasonable epidemic prevention diseases, common ones are foot-and-mouth disease, brucellosis, infectious pleuropneumonia, rapid epidemic, sudden snipe, enterotoxemia, lamb dysentery, etc. A reasonable immunization plan should be drawn up according to the specific situation, and immunization should be carried out on time in accordance with the procedures.
