If you want to raise cattle, you can get rich.

There is a famous cattle-raising "talent" in Dongsheng Village, Hongquan Township, Qianguo County, Songyuan City, Jilin Province. The villagers couldn't help giving a thumbs up when they mentioned him. He is Li Hongguo, who has spent more than 30 years dealing with cattle and embarked on a road to becoming rich.

Thirty years ago, because of the large population and little land, the villagers of Dongsheng Village began to go out to work one after another. Li Hongguo, who did not want to leave his hometown, came up with the idea of scalpers. Over the years, he has adhered to the principle of self-breeding, from small to large, rolling development, and overcome various difficulties in breeding.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountain to support the mountain, rely on the water to draw water. Li Hongguo relied on barren grass and adopted the method of scattered cultivation. "it's hard to keep loose, but as long as the cattle are strong and marketable, it's worth it." He and his wife are diligent, growing from a few cows more than 30 years ago to 70 cows in 2008. Just as he was hoping for the herd to break through 100, a sudden cow disease ruined his dream of getting rich.

In 2008, Li Hongguo not only made no money, but also lost his capital. However, he refused to give up, cheered up and went around to borrow money to buy new cattle.

Li Hongguo, who failed once, paid more attention to raising cattle. In order to get through the hurdle of preventing and treating cattle diseases, he often went to the local animal husbandry department to consult experts on the knowledge of raising cattle, seriously understand the physiological function and pathological knowledge of cattle, and be familiar with the habits of cattle. Through study, he not only saved a large feeding cost, but also achieved rich economic benefits. After 2009, his cattle-raising career became more and more smooth. Today, he raises hundreds of cattle.

Raising cattle made money and turned over, and Li Hongguo's life became more and more prosperous. "you have to stick to everything. Raising cattle is the same principle. If you get through it, you will win." Li Hongguo laughed and said, "you have to be like what you do, what you have to drill, and be a dedicated person. Only in this way can you not fail." Li Hongguo adheres to the road of scientific breeding in the process of raising cattle. He often explores new methods and techniques, is not afraid of hardship, dirt and tiredness, cleans the barn, crushes feed, and works day and night. After years of breeding practice, he has mastered the breeding technology.

At what time every day, he has a schedule for putting fodder on the cattle; he writes down in detail in a diary every epidemic prevention; he takes good care of every ailment of the cow. With an income of hundreds of thousands a year, Li Hongguo embarked on a well-off road. However, when he became rich, he did not forget his fellow villagers, and led the surrounding villagers to develop the cattle industry and get rich together.
