Last Updated: 2024/12/22, The post-80s boys went back to their hometown to make "sheep money".

Wang Wancheng, a post-80s boy, 31 years old this year, is from Jintai Mountain Village, Xinxing Township. After returning home during the Spring Festival in 2011, he started the breeding industry with the "first bucket of gold" earned from working. In the process of starting a business, he experienced many ups and downs, but never gave up his confidence in breeding. In 2012, he invested more than 200,000 yuan to raise sheep again. After 3 years of hard work, he finally tasted the sweet taste, planned for his own breeding industry, and intended to drive the surrounding villagers to become rich together.

Go back to your hometown to start a business and make farming fun

As the sunset faded for the last time, Wang Wancheng drove nearly 200 goats home from the hillside. He counted the sheep again, carefully observed the condition of each sheep, put them in pens, and ate dinner. This is Wang Wancheng's "homework" every day, and it is also the joy of his life.

Although Wang Wancheng has only raised sheep for 3 years, he has become the largest sheep professional household in his village. "Now the sheep pen covers an area of 160 square meters and has nearly 200 sheep. It was the right choice to raise sheep." Wang Wancheng smiled and told reporters about his dream of starting a business back home. Like other young people, he set foot on the road of going out to work early, successively working in Guangzhou, Foshan and other places, earning "the first bucket of gold" with the spirit of hard work of farm children. After returning home during the Spring Festival in 2011, he returned to his hometown to start the breeding industry with the "hard money" earned from working.

Start a business through ups and downs to find a way out

It was not easy to start a business. In addition, Wang Wancheng had been working in the city for many years and knew nothing about breeding. At first, the chickens, ducks and geese he tried to raise not only didn't let him make money, but also lost 60,000 yuan. Seeing that the money invested in breeding was so "bubble", Wang Wancheng's family began to oppose it, hoping that he would use the money earned from working to do other businesses in the city and leave the countryside to live in the city.

"With such good resources in rural areas, many farmers have returned to their hometowns to engage in industry. How can they not earn money? I don't believe in that evil." Wang Wancheng said that after the ups and downs of raising chickens, ducks and geese, he began to investigate the breeding market and found that pig raising is risky, investment is large, cost is high, pork price fluctuates greatly, and excreta pollutes the environment seriously. Relatively speaking, the risk of raising sheep is relatively small, sheep eat grass, are not affected by changes in feed prices, and have little environmental pollution.

Invest again as a shepherd

In February 2012, he decided to invest again to raise meat goats, rationally utilize the barren hills and wasteland of his hometown, and implement the breeding mode. Say dry dry, build sheep pen, buy planting, Wang Wancheng again when the "shepherd".

At first, Wang Wancheng drove the sheep to the mountain to raise them together. The males and females were not grouped, and the size was not grouped. As a result, the ewes were "harassed" by rams for a long time. The reproduction rate was very low. The lambs could not eat young grass and grew very slowly. In order to learn breeding technology, Wang Wancheng uses network knowledge, looks at professional books to slowly explore breeding skills. "Summer grass, but the weather is hot, sheep love to pile up, easy to get angry, pay attention to the sheep heat." Don't rush the sheep into the pen when they come back from grazing. Let the sheep wait in the shade for a while before entering the pen. Moreover, feed the sheep with light salt water three times a day. The salt addition amount should be close to 100 sheep." Wang Wancheng side to the reporter introduction, while taking out the home breeding professional books.

Find a sense of accomplishment, plan for the future.

"My meat goats are mainly raised on the hillside and grow by eating grass and grain. The meat is fresh and tender, so the sales volume is relatively good." Wang Wancheng said that after more than three years of breeding, from the first 50 meat goats to the present nearly 200, the money in his pocket has gradually increased, which gives him a sense of accomplishment. "In the next step, I intend to expand the scale, implement the half-grazing and half-circle breeding mode, set up a sheep farming cooperative, and drive the surrounding villagers to become rich together." Wang Wancheng confidently told reporters.
