My younger brother has been guarding the border for 15 years and finally retired this year. He brought back nearly 2 million yuan in retirement money, and planned to use this money to start a new chapter in his life. He told me that he wanted to rent a place to raise pigs halfway up the mountain, and I was a little confused. Pig? Is it really profitable to raise pigs these days? I think it's more reliable to raise cattle.
The risk of raising pigs is too great, the market is volatile, unstable, and a little wind and grass may lose money. And pigs are prone to illness, and once they encounter an epidemic, it will be miserable. But cattle raising is much more stable. Beef** is relatively stable, and the market demand is also large. Cattle are more solid, less susceptible to disease, and the cost of breeding is also low.
What's more, the returns of raising cattle are also substantial. A cow can make a lot more money than a pig if it is sold. And the cows can also produce milk, which is also an additional income. Don't forget, cow dung can also be used as fertilizer, which saves you another amount of money on fertilizer.
I told my brother that now that people are living better and they like to eat beef, the prospect of raising cattle is definitely good. He listened to me and began to hesitate. I advised him not to make a decision in a hurry, but to learn about the market first to see if it is cost-effective to raise cattle. We can also visit the cattle farm and learn from the experiences of others.
Finally, I want to tell my brother that no matter what he decides to do, I will fully support him. He has worked hard in the army for so many years, and now he should enjoy his life. Of course, it would be better if a more promising project could be chosen. I believe that as long as we do it with our hearts, we will be able to run the cattle farm well.
