Beef is a kind of meat that we often eat in our life. Its nutritious cream and low fat content are deeply loved by consumers. The market price of beef has been very stable, unlike the price fluctuation of pigs, chickens, ducks and fish, so many farmers like to raise cattle. Therefore, before breeding, we must first understand its breeding cost and profit. Let's look at the pro-agricultural network.

Breeding cost

1. Calfskin

At present, there are high-quality beef cattle breeds on the market, such as Simmental, Limousin, Charolais and so on. After years of cultivation and development, these beef cattle breeds have excellent weight and meat quality. A healthy calf can weigh about 400 Jin, so the import price is about 4000-6000 yuan.

2. Breeding ground

The requirements for cattle farms are not high, so the construction cost of farms is very low. If it is small-scale or family farming, it is generally enough to build a simple shed. The site cost of a cow does not exceed that of 50 yuan. But if it is large-scale farming, in order to facilitate management, it is necessary to build a modern farm. Based on 100 head of cattle, the ground construction cost is 50,000-80,000.

3. Feed fee

The maximum breeding time for beef cattle is 1,000 catties, and the breeding period is about 9- 10 month. Its feed is mainly divided into coarse feed and fine feed. Roughage is rice straw and crop straw. This kind of feed has wide sources and low price, while concentrate is generally made of corn mixed with other materials. Generally speaking, the cost of raising a cow is between 4000 and 5000 yuan.

4. Others

When raising cattle, it is necessary to vaccinate, quarantine and disinfect. These costs are around 300 yuan, and the cost of raising a cow is about 6,543,800 yuan, plus the cost of water and electricity and artificial breeding.

Breeding profit

In recent years, the price of beef has been relatively stable. Usually the market price is about a catty in 35 yuan. If the price can reach about one catty in 50 yuan around the Spring Festival, the slaughter weight of a beef cattle can reach more than one catty. According to the slaughter price, it is about 15- 18 yuan, and a cow can be sold to 15000- 1800 yuan. Excluding the cost of breeding, a net profit can be about 5000-8000 yuan.

The above is the analysis and introduction of the cost and benefit of raising cattle brought by the pro-agricultural network. The above data are for reference only, and there are many force majeure factors. But generally speaking, the profit of raising beef cattle can reach more than 3000 yuan per head, and there are risks in breeding. Please be careful.
