Can you make money by raising sheep? Can you make money?

Of course, raising sheep can make a fortune, but it can only be realized if there are many necessary conditions at the same time. Rural free-range farmers like me have been raising sheep for many years, but they are doomed to be unable to make a fortune by raising sheep. The reasons need to be explained one by one.

Let's take a look at the main points of raising sheep to make a fortune:

First, it is necessary to reach a certain scale of breeding.

Can you make a fortune by raising 10 or 20 sheep? Obviously impossible. This is the law of the market. The more investment, the higher the profit, but at the same time, the greater the risk. But if you can't reach a certain scale of farming, you will never be rich. Most people don't have the financial strength to invest on a large scale, so most people can't make a fortune by raising sheep.

Second, you must know something about aquaculture.

Raising sheep is a technical job. Many novice friends tend to lose money by raising sheep, while most experienced sheep are unlikely to lose money. Mainly because the old hands know the technology of raising sheep, the lambs born from their ewes have a high survival rate, and they can also create the biggest breeding profit in the most economical and practical way.

Third, we should do a good job in the prevention and treatment of sheep diseases

"After decades of hard work, one disease returned to before liberation", and the disease here refers to the disease of sheep. What sheep farmers fear most is that sheep get sick. Common diseases, parasitic diseases and infectious diseases threaten the health of sheep all the time. If you can't take effective measures to prevent and control them, let alone get rich, you will lose everything.

Fourth, the price of sheep must be stable within the controllable range.

Sheep price is an unpredictable external factor, and no one can predict it in advance. Although the price of sheep has been relatively stable in recent years, it takes at least 1.5 ~ 3 years to raise sheep. How will the market price go in the future? No one can guarantee that there will be no ups and downs.

Final conclusion: if you do the above four points well, the chances of raising sheep and making a fortune will be great. It's just easier said than done. Not many farmers can really achieve the above four points, so only a few people get rich by raising sheep. The best result for most people to raise sheep is to maintain a normal life or subsidize their families.
