Analysis of cattle farming prospects in the second half of 2016

How are cattle farming prospects in 2016? Let me answer this for you below, for reference only.

For example, many people worry that after starting cattle farming, beef cattle prices will fall. Based on our experience, the following points cannot be ignored.

First: In the previous decade, having 100,000 yuan in a rural household was impressive. Now, if you have 100,000 yuan, can you be considered wealthy? Living standards have improved, and consumers pay more and more attention to health, especially in terms of diet. In the past, even eating pork was a problem; now eating beef is a trend, and it is also a meat food that middle-aged and elderly people and people with high blood pressure like to eat in winter. Steak, fatty beef, and eating beef during the Spring Festival are now affordable for ordinary families, and are even normal consumption for urban people. As living standards improve, demand keeps increasing.

Second: Labor costs have risen. Now things are very different from the past. Right now, migrant workers in Jiaxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province, earn more than 100 yuan per day when they go out to work, and skilled workers even earn 200 yuan. The income farmers get from farming simply cannot compare. If you raise sheep at home, you certainly have to include labor costs as well. In the past, you could find workers for 30-50 yuan a day. Can you still do that now? Labor costs have increased, raising sheep requires manual management, and costs have certainly risen too.

Third: Grain prices. Among cattle feed, corn flour, wheat bran, soybean cake, and soybean meal are all grains. Grain prices are getting higher day by day. With cattle farming costs higher, do you think beef cattle prices will fall?

If grain prices fall, will beef prices drop? This is certain. If grain prices fall, costs decrease, and beef cattle prices may drop. But think about it, friends: when farmers grow crops, soybeans, wheat, rice, and corn, which farmer does not hope grain prices can be higher? If they really fall, farmers' incomes will fall. When can urban and rural incomes ever be balanced? In addition, the state gives large subsidies to farmers for growing crops. Why? It hopes farmers can farm with peace of mind and ensures their income levels rise.

From the analysis of the above points, this only shows the principle that when the water rises, the boat rises too. The possibility of beef prices falling is very small. Moreover, even if they fall, there will not be too much fluctuation. But everything reverses when taken to an extreme. Prices cannot rise all the way; one day they will fall. As for what cattle farming prospects are really like, it can be said that we cannot fully analyze it clearly either, because market prices are tied to many things and are not controlled by a single cattle farm.

In southern regions, such as Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, Zhejiang Province, Hunan Province, and Jiangxi Province, these provinces have very high consumption levels in our country, and for the cattle farming industry they have great potential.

If you think cattle farming is no good, then what about friends who raise pigs and chickens? Let me tell you, friends: if you think cattle farming is no good and sheep farming is no good either, then how about raising chickens and pigs? I think your answer will definitely be that they are even worse.

Whether cattle farming prospects are good or bad is not important. Why do I say that? Because what is important is that friends must master cattle farming techniques well. Without good cattle farming techniques, later development will face great obstacles. For example, when we raise cattle, it is certainly not for just three or two years. For later development, if you want to grow bigger and stronger, you must pay attention to cattle farming techniques. As long as your cattle farming techniques are good, even if cattle farming prospects are poor and beef cattle prices fall, with good techniques and well-raised beef cattle, small fluctuations in beef cattle prices do not pose much risk to cattle farming friends who are skilled in cattle farming techniques. In addition, poor cattle farming prospects do not target only you; they are national in nature. So what is the key? If you want to succeed in cattle farming.
