How much does it cost for farmers to raise a cow and slaughter it?

If you want to raise cattle in rural areas to make money, the cost of calves is the highest, followed by cattle feed. It takes nearly a year for calves to develop beef cattle, and they need feed money every day, and the cost is not low. As for how much money is needed, different farming methods have different costs.

What is the approximate cost of raising a calf to beef cattle? What is the basis?

Cattle raising is divided into captive and stocking, and the cost is different. The cost of captive breeding depends on different breeding scales.

1, small-scale captive planting of grass, low cost.

Small-scale captive breeding means breeding less than 20 heads, so the quantity risk can still be controlled. You can also plant grass and raise cattle. For example, planting Pennisetum in Guangxi has a high yield, and one acre of land can supply forage for two cows. If you feed less, three cows are barely enough.

And 500 yuan, an acre of yellow bamboos fertilizer, can produce three or four thousand yuan of forage, which is quite cost-effective. Cattle farmers can grow their own grass to raise beef cattle, and the cost can be controlled within four or five thousand.

2. Large-scale breeding feed is completely bought, and the cost is high.

It is not feasible to plant grass on a large scale. It is necessary to buy cattle and concentrate, which will lead to higher feed cost. Some cattle farmers have a daily feed cost as high as 30 yuan, and the feed cost of a cow may be as high as seven or eight thousand yuan.

3. The stocking cost is the lowest and the breeding time is long.

The stocking cost is the lowest, but the breeding scale is also the least. One person can raise ten cows, which is very impressive. Moreover, it is basically free to raise forage, just feed some concentrate. Some rural elderly people live on pure grass, and it can be said that the cost of feed is only a few hundred yuan.

However, due to lack of nutrition, the breeding cycle will be longer and it will take a year and a half to be released.

In short, the cost can only be determined by raising calves until the year of meat. The cost of stocking feed is the lowest, and that of large-scale captivity is the highest. As for the cost of getting sick, it is also the highest in large-scale farming, because it is easier to get sick, while stocking is less sick and the cost is very low.
