Many people know that the small tail cold sheep is highly productive and grows faster, which is what the sheep seller tells us, of course, we can't just listen to their one-sided words, we should have our own knowledge reserves. There are also many fatal shortcomings of the small-tailed cold sheep, and if you don't know these shortcomings, they are likely to make you lose your money. The last point I hope you will focus on, to understand, this is too common in daily farming.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >: Why don't butchers dislike small-tailed sheep? </h1>
Many butchers in mutton restaurants don't like the small-tailed cold sheep, they would rather spend a little more money to buy goats, or spend the same price to buy other sheep breeds, but they don't buy small-tailed cold sheep.
Mainly because the small tail cold sheep out of the meat less, compared with the same size and weight of other sheep breeds, the small tail cold sheep meat rate is low, the quality of meat is not high, if the same is 100 pounds of sheep, Du Bo sheep is likely to be able to produce about 47 pounds of net meat, and the small tail cold sheep only about 42 pounds of net meat, if simply grazing, it is likely to be only about 40 pounds.
This is the last two years, they have been advocating the improvement of the small-tailed cold sheep, the small-tailed cold sheep is now hybridized with the Dubo sheep, etc., and crossed with other sheep, is to overcome this shortcoming. Then if you are a direct seller and you have a sheep restaurant that you own, then you don't want to raise this.

This one is her fatal flaw, this fatal flaw is not caused by the small-tailed cold sheep itself, but by the farmer, mainly because the farmer does not know how to care. Why is this happening?
(1) Pregnancy: This is its great advantage, and it is also the advantage that we have been focusing on cultivating and cultivating, but this is also his fatal shortcoming. Why? Small-tailed cold sheep will increase with the increase of the number of fetuses, the number of pregnancies will gradually increase, if there are too many fetuses, usually poor care, it is likely to cause difficult childbirth.
(2) Nutrition can not keep up: this one is also caused by farmers, why can't nutrition keep up? This is mainly because of the large number of pregnancies, and in the later stages of pregnancy, many farmers are reluctant to invest too much, and let these pregnant ewes eat roughage, eat a lot of straw, and do not provide refined feed.
Therefore, many pregnant ewes can not keep up with nutrition after giving birth to lambs, the ewe has no milk, and some prolactin injections are given in time to produce milk, but it is very unfavorable to his postpartum recovery, generally until several months later before the second breeding, the recovery is particularly slow, and will have a great impact on the body of the ewe.
This afternoon I met such a farmer, raising a small tailed cold sheep, the lamb gave birth to three lambs, just born two dead, and one is waiting to be fed, the reason is what? Born without milk, now the farmer is anxious, go to the market to buy milk powder for him, where is this still the top use? After a while, the three lambs did not keep one.
The more pregnant she is, the more nutrition and energy she needs, and in the third trimester of his pregnancy, we need special care to meet their nutritional needs, but many farmers can't do these points, often after the lamb is born, it will not take long to die. You say that after raising them for so long, don't we expect these lambs to make money? The lambs are dead, so what do we do to make money?
