    I think the risk of raising sheep in rural areas will be low, and the return will be higher; The main basis is that there are still more people who eat mutton now, and most of the ordinary families, they will still eat mutton more, so the sales of mutton will be better.

    I think the risk of raising sheep is a little lower; The main reason is that the investment in sheep raising is relatively small, so its risk is also lower, and sheep raising is mainly roughage, and the cost is relatively low.

    It should be that the risk of raising sheep is low and the return is also very high, the main basis is the meat quality of this animal, if it is very good, it will become more expensive, and in the follow-up breeding process, these sheep can be properly put out, the mother eats some fresh weeds, drinks some dew, and also plays a very good role in the quality of mutton.

    Rural cattle and sheep raising, farmers generally use the traditional grazing method to breed, can be proficient in permanent free pure natural green storage feed, can save the investment project of feeding concentrate grass, reduce the cost of breeding. Therefore, in the case of grazing, there are three major breeding methods for farmers to raise cattle and sheep, which have advantages and disadvantages, not only with their own benefits, but also with their own disadvantages.

    Farmers raise cattle purely by grazing the cattle themselves. The cost of raising cattle is much higher than that of raising sheep. Because farmers raise cattle and sheep, in order to be able to control costs, they generally adopt the method of self-breeding and self-breeding, which has many advantages.

    As a result, the level of reproduction of cattle is extremely low, and the rate of reproduction is relatively slow, with only one calf per year per female year. If farmers buy cows to breed, the cost is very high, the cost of each cow is less than 1,000 yuan, and a large number is 2,000 yuan. Therefore, the cost of buying piglets is very expensive, and the profit of raising cattle will be reduced, and it is not cost-effective.

    Cattle raising is generally not a large number of domestic animals, which is beneficial to the supervision of grazing, and the herdsman should save more effort. Cattle are generally taller than sheep. If the same total number of cattle and sheep are raised, the economic benefits of raising cattle are high.

    Farmers raise sheep purely by grazing. Sheep are small in size and have fewer herbivores, and grow a little slower than cattle. The reproductive level of sheep is very strong, and each cell can reproduce many times, not like a cow with only one litter.

    Therefore, sheep reproduction is fast, and a dairy goat can breed a herd of sheep in a year. The cost of raising sheep is much less than raising cattle. There is a saying in the countryside, "the rich raise cattle, the poor raise sheep", which means that raising cattle is also very auspicious, and raising sheep is a small business.

    Sheep raising only needs to have a free grassland origin, and each normal farmer can raise 300 500 sheep, but can only raise 20 40 sheep, of course, the economic benefits of raising sheep are much higher than that of raising cattle.

    Farmers raise sheep and cattle purely by grazing. In the countryside, many farmers subconsciously raise sheep and cattle together, raising both cattle and sheep. And cattle and sheep must be co-raised.

    Because, farmers are all self-breeding breeding methods, dairy cows and ewes reproduction speed is not the same, that in this small case, can reduce the cost of breeding, so that sheep and cattle breeding make up for each other, every year not only cattle **, but also sheep **, but also in the very limited cost conditions, to ensure that the cost of breeding is guaranteed to be more maximized, it is recommended to make more harvest, increase production. This breeding method is very common in the countryside, and it is a good way to breed, which can reach the level of high economic benefits of aquaculture.

    To be honest, I didn't really see any benefits in raising cattle in the early days, but back to the basics, raising cattle was much more profitable than raising sheep. In addition, through my long-term experience in breeding, I have found that cattle are more resistant to disease than sheep. As long as the management of feeding and disease prevention are done on a regular basis, large livestock such as cattle generally do not get sick.

    The investment is large, the return is slow, the risk is high, and the reproduction is low. The cattle breeding investment is recognized as a large investment in the breeding industry, and the current 4-year-old calf is nearly 10,000 won. If you don't have money in your hands, don't think about raising cattle.

    The duration of cattle raising is generally 3 to 5 years, which is relatively long. Cattle are not susceptible to illness, but it is said that a soldier loses tens of thousands, so the danger is high. The reproductive efficiency of cattle is relatively low, and theoretically one child can be made a year, but the feeding and management conditions are different.

    Many of them have two children in three years.

    Advantages: large investment, fast principal, strong fecundity, relatively small risk. Sheep farming investment can start from 30,000 to 50,000 people.

    In particular, sheep farmers can use this fund to gradually expand the scale of breeding. Under general feeding conditions, Xiangyang can return to the local area within the year, and the speed of returning to the local area is relatively fast. If you breed more sun, you can have three children a year in two or two years, and your reproductive ability is strong.

    Combining these advantages, sheep raising is less dangerous than cattle raising. Sheep are not very resistant to disease. Once the number of farms increases, there will be no major problems, but small drawbacks will continue.

    The profit in the later stage of sheep raising is not higher than that of cattle raising.

    According to the breeding industry I have seen in my life in Xinjiang, there are generally more sheep than cattle, and the two types of meat sold are the same, on the contrary, there are more people who eat mutton than beef, but the consumption is different in each province. Sheep raising in Xinjiang is more efficient than cattle raising, and the risks are relatively small. Sheep in Xinjiang eat saline-alkali grass.

    The taste is fresh and there is no fishy smell. Roast mutton in Xinjiang is famous for its deliciousness, and most of the sheep in Xinjiang are raised more than cattle. Usually cattle can drink milk, while beef cattle are still very few.

    It still depends on the local consumption.

    Cattle raising is relatively simple in terms of management. Because beef cattle are highly resistant to disease, the incidence is low. Because from a management point of view, cattle raising is relatively easy to operate.

    Raising sheep and cattle, raising sheep is more difficult, there are advantages and disadvantages. The dangers are also contrasting. There is a certain danger in any form, and the degree of hardship far exceeds the limit of danger that you can bear.

    If farming is too hard, think again. The risk of the onset of the disease is very serious, and if the infectious disease is not well controlled, the blood may not be able to recover. Of course, cattle and sheep are better raised than chickens and pigs.

    Ask what is well raised, and the cattle will be raised better.

    My personal opinion is that the risk of raising sheep will be lower, mainly because the base of sheep raising is larger.

  7. Anonymous users2024-02-09

    The risk of raising sheep is lower, because sheep are not as expensive as cattle, so the cost of raising them is also very low, and there are also considerable signs of their own income.

  8. Anonymous users2024-02-08

    Comparatively, the risk of raising sheep is lower. Because the investment in sheep raising is small and the cost is relatively low. The risk will also be lower.

    The risk of raising sheep will be lower, because the sheep are very cheap, and the sheep are easier to feed, and the market demand is also very large.

    Cattle are less risky. Because the general fluctuation of cattle is not particularly strong, the market is also quite stable.

    We have raised cows and sheep in our family, and frankly, 2 of them are not easy. If you have to separate the specific truth, I think it is relatively easy to breed sheep. Cattle and sheep are the most common livestock in the countryside, and it is especially tiring for the farm to raise either one.

    Sheep farming is divided into free-range and reared. Free-range sheep are not as easy as free-range cattle, because sheep love to run around, cattle generally do not run around, but sheep are easier than captive cattle.

    The sheep eat less, so clearing the sheep shed is not as laborious as clearing the barn. The key to the profit of sheep is to breed and fattening lambs, the price of sheep is now stable, three months of lambs can be sold to about 600 yuan, if you do not want to engage in short-term fattening methods, you can rely on dairy sheep to breed lambs to make a profit, this kind of practice saves time and effort, saves energy, and the income obtained is also quite high. Compared with cattle breeding, sheep breeding has a small capital investment cost, strong reproductive ability, faster growth and development, and is naturally more labor-saving.

    According to their own ability, there are also the number of places, if there is a cost, there is a place or the economic benefit of breeding cattle is high. No matter what you breed, you can't go because you see economic gain. If you plan to do anything, be sure to reduce the estimated profit by 50% and expand the risk estimate by 100%, so that you can evaluate the kind of good deal.

    There is confidence in the aquaculture industry, but also need to have the carefulness of the aquaculture industry. Sheep and cattle are all domestic animals that need to be eaten every day, and they must not be slack.

    From the perspective of management methods, cattle breeding is simpler, due to the strong disease resistance of meat sheep, the disease rate is relatively low, from the perspective of management methods, it is definitely easier to operate cattle breeding. Sheep breeding is more difficult to manage methods, there are advantages and disadvantages, if it is a ranch project investment sheep and cattle have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the countryside, cattle can be raised to work hard, sheep manure can be used as fertilizer for crops, and cattle can be born to make moneyCattle can be free-roamed in the mountains, and the long-lasting cattle will return home on their own.

    And cattle are relatively easy to raise, and beef's ** is also expensive.

    Raising sheep is less risky and less labor-intensive; Because the value of beef is relatively low, and raising cattle also requires a lot of skills, the risk is also relatively large, and if you are not careful, it will lead to the death of cattle, and the profit of raising sheep will be higher, so there are fewer people who raise cattle than sheep raisers.

  13. Anonymous users2024-02-03

    I think it's easier to raise cattle and the risk is low; Well, the main reason is that the current cattle market is not very good, and the sales of farms after raising cattle are not as good as the sales of sheep, so the income may not be higher than that of sheep.

    At present, the market price of about 400 pounds of improved breed male calves needs at least 8,000 yuan or more, counting the investment in infrastructure, feeding management, etc., raising a fattening cow needs to invest at least 10,000 yuan, and raising a breeding cow needs to invest at least 10,000 yuan in the case of self-breeding. Why is it more risky to raise cattle than sheep, first of all, from the perspective of capital, it doesn't cost much to buy a lamb, but it is seven or eight thousand yuan to buy a calf. It can be said that this capital needs a lot, if there is a hundred thousand yuan, it is only able to raise about 10 heads, and it is easy to lose money by spending so much money.

    <> sheep and cattle are herbivores, which are better than breeding other animals, because once the grass is low or **, as long as there is grass, it can be carefully raised, and it can be sold when it goes up. Today, when people pay more attention to health care, meat products with low fat content and high nutritional value such as beef, sheep, rabbit, chicken, and fish are basically on people's tables and are increasing year by year.

    Is it profitable to make air conditioners or refrigerators? I don't think anyone can answer it, because the logic is wrong, it's not the same thing, there is no comparison. The subject's question is the same, although they are both breeding, but raising cattle and sheep is not the same thing, two completely different industries, my family has been raising cattle more than ten years ago.

    At that time, it was the local ordinary cattle, at most there was a head, I can't say the specific breed, anyway, this breed of cattle is suitable for local breeding, rarely get sick, and I often drive them to graze in my spare time.

    Of course, it is cattle, and the rural peasants and ordinary people need cattle to cultivate the land, and cattle are generally raised in the rural areas. In addition to Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, sheep raising is professional. According to the above, most people in China raise cattle, and cattle are much easier to raise than sheep, of course, the risk of cattle is lower.

    A cow only gives birth to a calf a year, cattle do not breed as much as sheep, and it takes a long time to feed before you can see the income, and the income is fast without sheep, so the risk of raising sheep is smaller.

    If you want to go back to the countryside to breed, raising cattle is less risky, because cattle are more viable and cattle are easier to raise.

    The risk is the same, they are all farming, that is, cattle are bigger than sheep, and if they are raised well, the effect is the same.

    Raising cattle or sheep has always been a topic of debate among farmers, in our rural hometown, the number of sheep farmers is far more than that of cattle farmers, often is the case, cattle envy sheep and sheep, that sheep are docile and easy to manage, and sheep are also secretly envious of cattle raising, that the size of cattle is large, whether it is used to cultivate land or sell, the market is very wide.

    In fact, sheep and cattle have their own advantages and disadvantages, for novice breeders, there will always be a choice between sheep and cattle raising, and the two have very obvious advantages, making it difficult to make a choice, in fact, no matter what kind of animal is raised, it is necessary to know and understand its habits, and it is wise to choose the most suitable thing to breed, so what are the advantages and disadvantages of sheep and cattle? Let's compare and see which one is more suitable for farming.

    One**. Cow cubs range from 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan, while lambs range from 300 yuan to 400 yuan. The wheeling beef on the market is about 45 yuan a catty, so the sale will be at 30 yuan Niantong Yu a catty, and the market price of mutton is about 20 yuan -40 yuan, the market growth is relatively large, so the sale of ** should also be more than 20 yuan, but the body size of the two is very different.

    Second, the cost of feeding. The cost of raising cattle is much larger than the cost of raising sheep, although the size of cattle is large, but it represents a large amount of food, raising a cow requires at least 3,000 yuan of cost, and the cost of raising sheep will not exceed 200 yuan, if the implementation of stocking then the cost will be lower.

    3. Reproduction. Cattle can only breed one a year, while sheep can breed two litters a year, and the ** of calves is too expensive for few people to buy, while lambs are different, the price is relatively cheap, and lamb is very popular in lamb.

    Fourth, management. Although cattle are also very docile, but for sheep, sheep are more docile, and sheep and cattle are relatively easy to manage, but personally, I feel that sheep are easier to manage than cattle, first of all, sheep can be herded, and stocking indicates that there can be a lot less to manage, while cattle are different, and it is rare to see people herding cattle.

    Fifth, the market. Although mutton is very popular in winter, but in other seasons, mutton sales belong to the off-season, so the winter of the year is the season for mutton sales, and beef is different, it is more popular all year round, now there are too many sheep, and there are very few cattle, the market is like this, scarce is expensive, naturally the market for beef will be larger than the market for mutton.

    After reading this, are you still struggling with whether you should raise cattle or sheep? If you have enough money to plan to raise in captivity, then choose cattle, if you don't have a lot of money and plan to go free-range, then sheep are your best choice.
