you may say that the price of sheep is so low now, can you make money by raising sheep? Yes, the price of sheep is really low now, but black-bone sheep is different. The meat and bones of black-bone sheep are black, which has high nutritional value. The market value has always been relatively high, but ordinary people can't accept it. The main reason for the high price of black-bone sheep is its scarcity and low reproduction rate.
Black-bone sheep are expensive and can only be sold to some high-end consumer places such as star-rated hotels. If the number of early aquaculture is small and cannot be supplied to the hotel for a long time, they will not want it. Therefore, the marketing of black-bone sheep is a big problem. The price of ordinary sheep is low now, and many sheep farmers are losing money. However, crossing black-bone sheep with ordinary sheep can solve these two problems well.
Buy a purebred black-bone sheep ram as the male parent, and cross it with small-tailed Han sheep, Hu sheep and other sheep with high reproductive rate. In this way, the problem of insufficient reproduction rate of black-bone sheep can be solved. Secondly, the meat quality of hybrid black-bone sheep is obviously improved compared with that of ordinary sheep. In this way, we can sell it at a higher price than ordinary sheep, and the people can accept such a price.
A pure-bred black-bone sheep can be bred with 3~5 ewes in natural breeding, and 2~3 ewes in artificial breeding. A flock of sheep only need to buy a black-bone sheep breeding ram, and the price of the bred hybrid sheep is at least half as much as that of ordinary sheep.
