2018 the cost and profit of raising sheep

Raising sheep is our common breeding project, and there is a great demand for mutton in recent years, especially in winter and the period before the year, when mutton sales are very high. So what's the cost of raising 2018 sheep? What about the profit? Let's take a look at the pro-farm network.

Breeding cost

1. Breeder sheep

Breeder sheep will be purchased before breeding, generally males and ewes will buy some, and the number of ewes is generally larger than that of rams, and the price of breeding sheep is determined by the breed and growth cycle of sheep. Generally speaking, ewes that can reproduce directly cost 500 yuan each, while rams cost a little more, about 1000 yuan each.

2. Breeding area

The growth space of a sheep is about 1 square meter, and the construction of the sheep shed is about 200-300 yuan per square meter, and if large-scale farming, it is necessary to build a standard modern sheep shed, which costs about tens of thousands of yuan.

3. Feeding

Sheep are herbivores, raised on a small scale in rural areas and fed with hay every day, but for better income, some concentrate will be added appropriately, and the cost of a sheep a year is less than 300 yuan.

4. Vaccine

In order to prevent the disease of sheep, it is also necessary to vaccinate it. The annual vaccine cost of no sheep is about 10 yuan.

In addition, labor costs and maintenance costs in the breeding area are also required. If you take 50 sheep as an example, the breeding cost is between 8 and 100000.

Breeding profit

Adult sheep can be sold about 7 months old. each adult sheep weighs between 70 and 100kg and sells for about 20 yuan per kilogram. The profit of a sheep is between 1400 and 2000 yuan. Excluding the cost, each sheep can earn about 1000 yuan. And the larger the breeding scale is, the lower the breeding cost is, and the profit is about high. Raising sheep is a lasting project, so there is no need to rush for success. Leave lambs and breeder sheep for cultivation, and slowly increase the breeding scale, the profit will become higher and higher.

The above is the introduction of the costs and profits of raising sheep brought to you by the pro-agricultural network. The editor reminds small farmers that the breeding industry has risks due to the influence of market and uncertain factors, so it is recommended to cultivate on a small scale first, accumulate experience, and slowly expand the scale.
