How much investment does it take to raise 20 calves? How many years can it develop?

Abstract: how much investment does it take to raise 20 calves? How many years can it develop?

A friend said that he wanted to raise cattle, buy about 20 yellow calves, raise them at home, and plant some grass on his own. How many years can he develop? The idea is very good, but it is very difficult to operate in practice. The risk of aquaculture should be said to be very high, especially for large-scale farming, such as raising cattle, from the point of view of the subject, we should not know much about the industry of raising cattle. Here, let's make an analysis of this problem.

How much does it cost to breed and breed 20 cattle?

20 calves say whether to say less or not is not less. to be honest, self-breeding is much riskier than simply fattening beef cattle, especially if the technology is not good. My second uncle also raises cattle. A few years ago, he also did this model of self-reproduction and self-breeding, but he persisted for about four years, but he could not stick to it, because first, the technology was not good, and the breeding rate of his own cattle was very low. the best case is two calves in three years, which can't be compared with a professional farm.

In addition, there is the limitation of the site, because the hometown belongs to the plain area, and there is relatively little mountain woodland, so it is impossible to herd cattle. It can only be kept in captivity. One of the major problems in captivity is forage. An adult cow weighs about 1300 jin. You have to eat 40 to 50 jin of fodder a day, which is still a big number. Another reason is to earn less money, which is also the most critical reason. The last few years belong to the stage of relatively large investment, and it is natural to spend more money, but it is difficult to stick to it if you do not have enough funds.

Now, although my second uncle does not carry out self-breeding and self-breeding, he still does not break away from raising cattle. Now he belongs to simple fattening, slaughtering and selling his own cattle, which earns more than selling to cattle dealers. Especially in spring, the income is still quite good.

Here, let's take a look at the investment of these twenty cows. if twenty cattle breed and raise themselves, they need to buy 18 cow calves and two bull calves with better breeds. However, I feel that buying a calf is too long for some time. It takes at least two years to see the calf from calf to parturition, and this is not all over. Calves have to be raised and fattened. Therefore, it takes a long time to see the return of funds in the early stage. If you buy an adult cow directly, you can usually see a calf in the second year, but the price of an adult cow is much higher.

If the farm is operating normally, it will take at least five years to grow to a large scale, calculated according to the frequency of two calves born in three years, but only if you have enough funds and pass the technical hurdle, so that you can carry on.

According to the current price of calves in the market, generally speaking, the price of a calf of ordinary quality should be more than 6500 for a calf of about 400 jin, and the price for a better calf is about 8000. So it looks like twenty calves will cost about 150000. In addition, if you want to develop on a large scale, you need to have a cowshed, which is now 20 heads, and the scale will continue to expand in the later stage, so the construction of the cowshed will have to consider the scale in the later stage, so it is necessary to build at least a cowshed that can hold 50 head of cattle. This requires a lot of investment, at least about 200000 yuan. Then there is the problem of feed, the feed of twenty cattle, if it is better to breed, herd the cattle during the day and supplement some feed at night. But if it is kept in captivity, it needs to be mowed and fed.

Twenty cattle have to get a few hundred jin of feed every day, and the recommended scale must keep up, so the recommended area should not be too small, otherwise the feed can not keep up, it is best to feed the cattle some lees, bean curd and so on. Then there are labor costs, venue rent, water and electricity, and so on. It is calculated that the initial investment of these 20 cows is about 350000, and if the barn is relatively simple, at least about 250000 has to be invested.
