Or simply build a sheep barn can be used to raise sheep, 10 breeding sheep together with the breeding lambs need about 60 to 80 square meters of sheep barn, simple construction of the case of its investment can be controlled within 10,000 yuan.
2. Introduction fee
The reproductive rate of purebred Dubo sheep is low, and ewes can choose Duhan hybrid generation or second generation, and their reproductive rate is significantly higher than that of purebred Dubo sheep. Du Han hybridized a generation or a second generation of young ewes, the market price is 1800 ~ 2000 yuan / one, 9 will cost 16 to 18,000 yuan, and then buy a purebred Du Bo sheep ram, costing 4000 ~ 5000 yuan. The cost of introduction is about 20,000 to 23,000 yuan.

In the case of small-scale sheep farming as a sideline business, roughage can use their own crop straw, so the cost of roughage is negligible. The average number of refined feed adult sheep is about 0.5 kg per day, and 10 Dubo sheep consume 1800 kg of concentrate a year. In the case of 9 ewes raised and properly managed, breeding 30 lambs a year is not a big problem, lambs from the beginning of feeding to five or six months out of the pen, the average consumption of only 120 pounds of concentrate, 30 lambs to consume 3600 pounds of concentrate. In the case of the concentrate itself, the cost price is about 1.4 yuan / catty, which requires a total of 7560 yuan.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2. How much can you earn in a year of self-breeding? </h1>
Lamb fattening to 100 pounds out of the pen, the current Dubo sheep fattening sheep market price at 15 yuan / catty, a sheep can sell 1500 yuan, 30 sheep can sell 45,000 yuan. In addition to the cost of breeding and other costs, you can earn more than 30,000 yuan a year, and the average breeding sheep can earn more than 3,000 yuan.
After reading it, don't think that raising sheep is a profiteering industry, if you want a breeding sheep to earn more than three thousand yuan a year, you must have the following conditions:
1. Higher sheep price. This year, the price of sheep is relatively high, so the benefit of raising sheep is relatively high, if the sheep price is only 10 yuan / catty, then a breeding sheep can only earn more than a thousand yuan a year.
2. Appropriate scale. Only by doing sheep breeding as a side business can we obtain a higher efficiency unit price, because the scale of sheep raising is small, so the roughage can only be collected by itself, and its cost is negligible, and in the case of large-scale sheep buying roughage, a ewe and the lambs they breed also need more than a thousand yuan of roughage a year.
3. Rich experience. Raising sheep to obtain high benefits must also have a wealth of experience, only by raising sheep well, improving the breeding rate of ewes, improving the survival rate of lambs, and improving the growth rate of lambs, can we make more money.
Warm tips: do not see the benefits of sheep raising and ignore the risk of raising sheep, the decline in sheep prices, the increase in feed costs and the lack of technical experience and other risk factors superimposed, sheep raising is not only difficult to make money, but also may lose money, so it is recommended that novices must be cautious into the industry to raise sheep.
