"BAA. BAA. " Recently, the reporter just came to Longmutun goat breeding base in Changxing Village, Daojiang Township, when the sheep cry was heard. "come on, touch it. My sheep are so docile and lovely." Indeed, when we watched them near, the sheep leaned over and especially liked to be close to people. when the reporter gently stroked them, they became coquettish like children, very cute.

"I myself belong to sheep, and I have a natural affinity for sheep. Later, when I saw that it was good for my friends to raise sheep, I decided to raise sheep, too, so I quit my job outside and came back to raise sheep." Long Xuefeng, the owner of the farm, told reporters that he and his wife talked about their idea of starting a business, and they also got his wife's strong support, so the couple quit their jobs outside and borrowed 20,000 yuan from the bank in 2004 to raise goats.

Raising sheep is a business he loves very much for long Xuefeng. In order to raise sheep well, he has made a lot of efforts. He bought many books on goat farming, specializing in studying goat farming techniques, and often consulted experienced sheep raising experts. Finally, the hard work lived up to the dedicated people, and a few years later, long Xuefeng mastered a wealth of breeding techniques. Today, after more than 10 years of raising sheep, he has become half an expert, and many people have come to ask him for advice.

The remark of "raising too little is not cost-effective" woke up long Xuefeng, who was also secretly determined to expand the scale of breeding. In 2006, after selling goats and getting his first bucket of gold, long Xuefeng bought goats with the money to expand the scale of breeding. Step by step, down-to-earth, through the way of self-breeding, the scale of long Xuefeng's farm has gradually expanded, from 26 at the beginning to more than 500 now. As a result, the original old site can no longer meet the needs of development. So, at the beginning of this year, long Xuefeng took out his savings over the years, together with bank loans, and invested a total of 430000 yuan to build a new sheep house.

According to long Xuefeng, it takes two years for sheep to be born and sold. Goat breeding is a way of stocking, the cost of diet investment is not high, mainly to spend manpower to take care of them. Moreover, sheep are not worried about the market at all. His sheep are mainly sold to Guangdong, and there are also some local sheep. The price is 1500-2500 yuan each.

"next year, I want to go to Yunnan to introduce sheep called Nubia to improve the quality of sheep and get better benefits." Long Xuefeng, whose farm has developed to a certain scale, wants to make efforts on the breed of sheep and introduce a well-bred sheep that can only be sold for more than 4000-5000 yuan, so as to obtain greater benefits.
