Want to do some sideline business in the countryside to earn some living expenses, is it better to raise cattle or pigs? What kind of cattle is more profitable in rural areas?

In fact, it is more cost-effective to engage in sideline business in rural areas than to raise pigs, but we must raise new varieties of cattle! Because the old breed of cattle is small, even if it is raised, it won't sell much money. The new breed of cattle is different. The calf will sell for more than 10 thousand in the next three to four months. Cattle must grow pasture. An acre of forage can supply several cows. Raising pigs is fast, but the cost is also high. Not to mention food alone, but also the cost of feed! Generally speaking, a pig can not sell for a few dollars. Personal advice is more cost-effective than raising pigs!

Thank you for inviting me! I'm happy to answer this question. Welcome friends to learn, communicate and share.

First, nowadays, it is easier said than done to earn a little money to support the family in the countryside. When it comes to breeding, both pigs and cattle have advantages and disadvantages, which should be considered according to multiple factors such as geography and population.

My neighbor is a farmer, and the contracted land is less than 15 mu. The annual agricultural income does not include productive expenditure. In good years, you earn bitter money, but in bad years, your work is wasted.

We are in Huocheng County, Xinjiang, with a good geographical position, and it is the gateway of Yili Prefecture.

My neighbor invested 50,000 yuan the year before last, and started raising cattle, expanding reproduction and fattening. At first, I bought three cows After two years of operation, although it is a little hard to raise cattle, the benefits are good. The calves produced in those years were in good shape, and a calf less than one year old could make a profit of 89000 to 10000.

Second, in the past three or four years, neighbors have raised, fattened and sold livestock. After one year, the income of cattle is around 30 thousand. This is a small business, and it is ok in the local area.

When it comes to raising pigs, pigs breed quickly, but there are many diseases, and epidemic prevention is more difficult than cattle. In summer, it is much more difficult to prevent diseases in pig houses.

Third, Xinjiang is a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area with a relatively concentrated ethnic group, which is a unique population situation. Therefore, raising cattle is more reliable and feasible. In addition, cattle can be produced in the mountains in summer.

From top to bottom, ten miles are different, and a hundred miles are different. What to do, money can come, one is the weather, the other is geography, and the third is the market.

Hello, I'm Raohe Zhang Wei.

I'm glad to answer your question.

I am from the countryside, too. Now I live in the countryside.

Raise cattle. The effect is slow. Because cattle breed slowly.

Niu Yi gave birth to a calf in 1960. But it's worth thousands of dollars to a calf. Cattle eat grass. The cost is small. But the price of cattle has always been high.

Raise pigs quickly. Because pigs have five litters every two years. Each nest is about 10.

But pigs eat corn

Eat feed. Raising pigs is very expensive. The price of pigs is still unstable.

My personal suggestion is to raise cattle.

I hope I can help you.

Thanks to the avatar platform

Raising pigs is good! Because the pig raising cycle is relatively short, it saves trouble and effort.

For raising cattle, it is really troublesome, and the investment is also great, and the breeding cycle is also very long! In 2020, the market of pig breeding is very good, and the profit is very high, at least much higher than that of cattle and sheep breeding.

Any industry has risks, especially aquaculture. Whether you are raising pigs or cattle, you must master the breeding technology and don't blindly raise them, so as not to cause huge economic losses!

Either way, see which one suits you.

Hello everyone! I want to do some sideline business in the countryside. I think it's safer to raise cattle. Cows are hardly sick. In the past, many people in rural areas raised cattle, which was also very easy to raise. There are also a wide range of forage sources, and grass and cattle eat a lot. We used to feed him straw and he liked it, too. When there is no grass in winter, he eats straw and withered cotton. Now it's all plows, so we don't need cows. Now in the countryside, raising pigs is different. If you don't feed them, the pigs will grow too slowly, and it will take a year. There is no economic benefit. You Zhu is ill. Last year's African swine fever caused heavy losses to many farmers, and everything was a lesson of blood. Raising cattle is never like raising pigs. Nowadays, many people don't buy pork, and more people eat beef. Especially the cattle killed in rural areas are really robbed, and some can't be robbed. Now in the countryside, there is no hurry to buy, the price is high, and beef is bought in 50 yuan. It is said that grazing beef has no pollution and everyone likes to eat it. Raising cattle is a good sideline project, definitely better than raising pigs, and beef will definitely become more and more popular. Thanks for sharing. Don't spray if you don't like it

If you choose between raising pigs and raising cattle as a sideline, personally, raising cattle is better.

I remember playing with some friends last year. On the way, I saw an old man driving more than ten cows on the road, so we made a joke: Do you know what a rich man is? Do you know what an invisible rich man is? Rich people drive expensive cars and invisible rich people drive money.

Let's get down to business. It is not recommended to raise pigs as a sideline in rural areas, mainly because pork prices fluctuate greatly. If you do well, you will make money, and if the market is not good, you may lose money. Then raising cattle is much safer, just a matter of earning more and earning less.

However, raising cattle is not so profitable. Although a cow can be sold for more than 10 thousand yuan, the cycle of raising cattle is longer. Generally, you have to be able to sell cattle for at least two years. And how much do you need to invest in these two years?

A cow is several thousand, plus the time you usually raise cattle. When there is not enough grass in winter, it is necessary to prepare straw and straw for winter as food for cattle in advance. In addition, it also includes other medicine expenses and feed expenses. In two years, I invested a lot of money. If a cow can sell 1.3 million yuan, the profit is about five or six thousand yuan.

Although you can earn five or six thousand yuan a year, you should pay attention to it in two years. So, in fact, you may only earn two or three thousand yuan a year.

In this way, the profit of raising cattle is not very high.

However, if raising cattle is a sideline at home and you have enough money, you can raise a dozen or twenty cows at one time, and the profit will be even greater. Can't raise too many. If you raise too many, it will be difficult to manage.

I am a pig farmer in Henan, and I am glad to answer your question! Your question is: Do you want to do some sideline work in the countryside to earn some living expenses? Is it better to raise cattle or pigs? As a professional farmer, I will help you share the following points:

1. If you want to enter the aquaculture industry, you have to do it yourself, so that you can have a deeper understanding of this industry, so I say it is not realistic to earn some living expenses by sideline.

2. The cycle of raising cattle will be longer than that of raising pigs, so the investment will be greater. The cycle of pigs is 6-7 months, and the cycle of cattle is 10- 12 months, so it is more appropriate for pigs to withdraw funds.

3. Compared with raising pigs and cattle, the market of cattle is still relatively stable, and there is no big drop, so the risk is still quite stable.

The above is my answer, I hope I can help you!

Hello! Let me give you my opinion.

Benefits of raising cattle: stable sales price and stable profit; Good care is not illness; No noise, no smell.

Second, raising pigs: the unfavorable factors are unstable pig prices, easy to get sick, loud noise and foul smell.

Cattle eat more, earn some living expenses, and probably can raise three heads.
