--------------------------------------
Pen feeding is fine. If conditions allow, free-range grazing is best of all.
Feed corn stalks, peanut vines, bean stalks. These are suitable for winter feeding. In summer they can eat green grass and tree leaves, and that's enough.
--------------------------------------
When feeding these, you also need to add cornmeal, bran and soybean meal.
For each of these, the amount depends on their size. Lambs are generally fed about half a jin of feed, which helps their growth.
If you buy feed, one sheep costs on average about 0.8-1 yuan per day.
--------------------------------------
If you buy Boer goats, a first-generation Boer goat bred with a purebred, 2 litters per year or 3 litters every 2 years, with 2-3 kids per litter, the kids produced are purebred second generation. Raise them for 3-4 months, one Boer goat sells for about 500 yuan, so 3 Boer goats sell for 1500 yuan, and calculated at 2 litters that is 3000 yuan. So raising one first-generation Boer goat, after deducting forage and labor costs, yields a net profit of no less than 2000-2500 yuan. If you invest a bit more and buy second- and third-generation goats, the returns are even more considerable.
