In recent years, don't look at the cattle price has been rising, but the overall domestic beef production is still in place, the development of beef production for more than a decade is only from 6 million tons to 7 million tons, the average growth rate is very slow, far less than the growth of beef consumption. This also causes the domestic beef gap to exist, and it can only rely on a large number of imports to meet the needs of the market.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > a variety of factors, free-range farmers accelerate their exit</h1>
After decades of development, China's cattle industry has begun to develop from grazing to large-scale captivity, but the development speed of captivity is still relatively slow, and now China is still mainly free range. According to statistics, there are still 90% of cattle breeders whose breeding number is below 10 heads, the cattle industry is still mainly based on family free range, and large cattle farms are still relatively small.
It's just that a variety of factors are now accelerating the withdrawal of free-range farmers, which is currently divided into two aspects.
1. Grazing and breeding are prohibited
The cattle breeding mode based on family free range is generally stocked, which is conducive to the grazing of wild grasses in mountains or slopes, which not only has better meat quality, but also can greatly save feed costs. If it is pure grass stocking, there is no need to feed corn and soybean meal, just buy some rice bran back on the line, which is a very grain-saving breeding mode.
However, many places now prohibit grazing and breeding, because it will destroy vegetation and worry that the green mountains will be eaten bald by cattle. The ban on free-range farmers has a great impact, and in the past, they only needed to go out to herd cattle every day, but now they can only be kept in captivity, either by running out to cut weeds outside or by buying roughage to come back and feed the cattle. A cow needs to eat dozens of pounds of hay every day, and it takes a lot of time to really go out and cut outside, and some thick and short weeds cannot be cut artificially, only the cows can eat themselves. Just relying on shrubs to feed the cattle can not help but cut, and before long the cattle farmers will have a shortage of hay, so many friends will give up raising cattle.
2. Strengthen environmental protection supervision
In addition to the prohibition of grazing cattle, the investigation and punishment of environmental pollution is now becoming more and more severe. Many free-range farmers are forced to withdraw because they have not built pollution facilities, either to build biogas digester sedimentation tanks and wet and dry separators, but also to handle three-certificate scale breeding, or to take the initiative to withdraw.
However, for cattle farmers with less than 10 heads of breeding, it is not easy to talk about large-scale breeding, even if there is not enough effort, where is there enough money to buy calves. It is not easy to borrow money to raise cattle now, and in the end, it can only be forced to quit the cattle business.
Now some areas want to build cattle farms is not easy, directly to tell you that the forbidden area can not engage in breeding, some of the cattle farms that are clearly not forbidden areas, but also to pollute the environmental protection as the reason for rectification and withdrawal, which greatly affects the breeding enthusiasm of free range farmers, many friends feel that cattle breeding is too difficult to quit.
Now the whole country is encouraging large-scale cattle raising, and the small number of free-range farmers is slowly being eliminated, because the number is too large, the scale is too small, the management is too troublesome, and there is no tax. It is still easy to manage large-scale cattle farms, and it is easy to form a scale industry and easier to produce results.
However, in Lao Wang's view, the domestic cattle breeding environment is not yet the time to abandon free-range households, after all, everyone is still based on free-range breeding, and accelerating the elimination of free-range households may make the beef gap bigger and bigger, and then it will only allow foreigners to make money.
Cattle breeding behind closed doors to build cars, welcome the majority of cattle sellers to join the cattle mutual aid exchange circle, can understand the latest cattle prices and cattle market information, but also with peers to exchange cattle experience.

I don't know what everyone thinks of this situation, but let's talk about it.
