How long are cattle generally raised before they can be sold at market?
How long cattle are raised before they can be sold depends on the age in months and the breed of your calves. For example, Simmental cattle can generally be sold at around ten months, while feeder cattle can generally be sold after 4-5 months of raising. 6-month-old beef cattle can be sold after 10-12 months of raising, 12-month-old cattle can be sold after 8-9 months of raising, and 24-month-old cattle can be sold after 5-6 months of raising.
How much can one cow roughly sell for now?
1. The current price of calves at cattle farms is generally around 2000 to 3000 yuan per head. For farmers raising cattle for the first time, Shandong Wangxin Animal Husbandry suggests starting on a small scale, generally around 20 head. In rural areas rich in crop straw and grass resources, the profit margin from raising one calf can reach around 5000-6000.
2. A thinner adult cow can generally sell for around 15000 yuan, and a better one can fetch anywhere from 22000. There is still a future in farming; generally the price you pay for a calf is around 3000 yuan, and when raised and sold, 1 head can bring in an income of 12000 yuan.
