What is a good breed of beef cattle?

Beef cattle is a kind of cattle mainly producing beef. It is characterized by plump body, fast weight gain, high feed utilization rate, good meat production performance and good meat taste. It not only provides meat products for people, but also provides other non-staple foods for people. At present, the prospect of beef cattle breeding is very broad. Let's take a look at what breed beef cattle is good!

What breed of beef cattle is good?

1. Simmental: Simmental cattle are typical breeds with the characteristics of both dairy cows and beef cattle. They have plump muscles, strong limbs and low dystocia rate. The average weight of adult bulls is 800~1200 kg, and that of cows is 650~800 kg. They are highly adaptable and tolerant of extensive management.

2. Limousin cattle: The average weight of adult bulls and cows of Limousin cattle is 1100 kg and 600 kg respectively. The meat production performance is high. Under intensive feeding conditions, the weight of 10 months old can reach 408 kg, the weight of one year old can reach 480 kg, and the average daily weight gain during lactation is 0.86~1.0 kg.

3. Charolais cattle: Charolais cattle have developed muscles, strong bones, strong limbs, fast growth speed and high lean meat yield. Under good feeding conditions, 6-month-old male calves can reach 250 kg, female calves 210 kg, daily weight gain can reach 1400 g, and slaughter rate is generally 65~70%.

4. Luxi Yellow Cattle: Luxi Yellow Cattle has tall body, well-developed forebody, developed muscle, strong physique, symmetrical structure, strong adaptability, high meat yield and tender meat quality. The average slaughter rate of adult cattle is 58.1%, the net meat rate is 50.7%, the ratio of flesh to meat is 1:6.9, and the ratio of fat to meat is 1:37.

How much does a beef make?

1. Calf cost: 6500~6700 yuan/head for about 400 jin of fine Simmental calf, plus transportation, quarantine and other expenses, the home price is almost 6800~7000 yuan/head.

2. Feeding cost: Under normal circumstances, improved Simmental cattle are mostly sold at 1300~1400 jin. Except for summer high temperature months, the average monthly weight gain is about 100 jin. In summer, the average monthly weight gain is only 60~80 jin. It takes at least 10 months to reach 1300 jin. The whole process needs about 2800 catties of concentrate feed and 6000 catties of coarse feed. According to the calculation of concentrate feed 1.3 yuan/catty and silage straw 0.1 yuan/catty, the total feeding cost is 4240 yuan.

3. Other costs: vaccine drug cost 100 yuan/head (including foot-and-mouth disease, bovine pneumonia serum), water and electricity 150 yuan/head, depreciation 50 yuan/head, labor 500 yuan/head, a total of 800 yuan/head.

4. Profit analysis: The total cost is 12040 yuan/head. Now the fattening cattle price is around 12 yuan/catty. A fattening cow weighing 1300 jin can be sold for 15600 yuan. Excluding various breeding costs, raising a cow can earn 3560 yuan.

How do cattle earn money?

1, breed selection: cattle breeding is not as good as breed selection, some breeds feed no matter how good is not beef cattle weight gain fast, this reason shows that beef cattle breeds for beef cattle growth speed has a crucial role, so cattle farmers in the selection of beef cattle breeds, must be cautious.

2. Feed matching: corn straw, wheat straw, soybean straw, peanut seedling, sweet potato seedling, straw, weed and grass belong to coarse feed, corn flour, wheat bran, bean cake, distiller's grains, vegetable cake and bean dregs belong to concentrate feed, which should be reasonably matched according to beef cattle weight and variety.

3. Epidemic prevention management: epidemic prevention management of cattle farms is not only conducive to growth, but also reduces the occurrence of diseases and indirectly improves profits. Improper management is the direct cause of loss and failure, which should not be underestimated. It is not advisable to make up for it after losing sheep. I hope cattle breeders should pay attention to this point.

4. Sales price: The high and low price at the time of sales lies in the region, variety, situation, market, etc. If each cow sells less than 0.2 yuan per catty, beef cattle of more than 1000 catties sell less than 200 yuan, and 100 heads sell less than 20,000 yuan. This seems very small, but the quantity is too much and the value is very large.
