Cattle Farming Profit Calculation Method and Cost-Benefit Analysis

The price of calves currently ranges from 2000 yuan/head to 4000 yuan/head. Assume the calf you buy is 3000 yuan, a 300-jin calf. The average monthly grass consumption is about 300 jin, equivalent to around 30 yuan in cash. Fine feed is about 240 jin per month, equivalent to around 150 yuan in cash. For the prevention of various diseases and salt for the cattle, calculate 30 yuan per month. Raising 200 cattle requires 2 caretakers, and 2 people for preparing feed and management.

The average wage per person is calculated at 600 yuan per month, and the total wages for half a year of raising are 14,400 yuan. The wage cost per head of cattle is no more than 80 yuan. If the average monthly growth is 120 jin, then in half a year it can grow 720 jin, and adding the original 300 jin purchased, the total can reach more than 1000 jin. The raising cost per head of cattle can be calculated as follows: (1) About 3000 yuan of investment is needed per head of cattle (2) Various costs such as transportation and quarantine are estimated at about 100 yuan (3) Raising and management wages are about 100 yuan (4) Grass plus fine feed totals about 1100 yuan (5) Disease prevention and salt are about 200 yuan (6) The total cost per head of cattle up to slaughter is 4400 yuan. The cattle purchase price is calculated at 11 yuan/jin; selling 1000 jin brings 11,000 yuan, then subtracting the cost of 4400 yuan, each head of cattle can earn 6600 yuan. However, attention must be paid to epidemic prevention; do not let any cattle die, otherwise the loss will be huge.
