In the past two years, I believe that everyone is well aware that the price of poultry and beef and mutton have been rising since 2018, and from the current point of view, this situation will not be greatly changed in a short period of time, which means that beef in 2019. The consumer market will further expand.
This is very good news for friends who raise cattle. At least in the environment of the beef market, the whole market is going up.
The current rise in calf prices is not just a single factor in the bull market, because the entire cost of raising cattle is now rising. First of all, the basic investment cost of raising cattle is very large. The cost of a cow is 12,000 to 15,000 yuan. Under such high-cost breeding conditions, the entire industry of cattle raising will inevitably rise.
Secondly, due to the increase in the requirements for breeding sites, coupled with the inward relocation of the cattle industry in coastal areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the entire cattle production area is now shrinking.
In the process, we lost a lot of cows that could be bred, especially some good-breed cows that were originally introduced from developed areas in the southeast. As a result, the price of good-breed calves has risen sharply. In fact, the price difference of calves is very huge at present. The price of calves of well-known beef cattle and Simmental beef cattle is even doubled. In addition, the profits of the cattle industry are now transparent, so the cattle industry in the future should tend to be centralized and large-scale. There should be little way out for simple retail investors who want to get rich by feeding one or two cattle.
