3. Concentrate is estimated at about 1 yuan per jin.

Labor, water and electricity

Every 100 young beef cattle require 2 herdsmen; the monthly wage of 1 manager is about 1,000 yuan per person, and water and electricity depend on local conditions.

Market trend analysis

At present, the live weight price of adult beef cattle over 1,000 jin is about 6.5 yuan/jin. According to market trends, experts analyze that it will rise steadily within 3—5 years and will not decline.

Overview

1. Short-term fattening of every 100 beef cattle requires a cattle purchase investment of 250,000—300,000 yuan.

2. Long-term fattening of every 100 beef cattle requires a cattle purchase investment of 180,000—240,000 yuan.

In summary, the cattle purchase cost for 100 fattening cattle is 300,000 yuan, and the required feed, labor, water and electricity costs are about 250,000 yuan. The total is 550,000 yuan. If the growth reaches 1,000—1,150 jin, calculated at 6.5 yuan/jin, the total is more than 650,000 yuan, which means the net profit is more than 100,000 yuan.
