why are cows so expensive?
Posted: Mon May 18, 2015 4:24 pm
my new cowhouse is finish, bought 4 small pieces or grassland 4x 20x25m. Im now in banlung and as im back in kirivong(takeo) i go buy some cows.
My plan is to buy 2 cows 2-3 years old and 2 calfs.
but why are the prices of the cows so high in cambodia? a price for a calf is 500-600$ here. a cow 3 years old 1800$. and the locals pay also this kind off prices.
my plan is to start with 2 cows and 2 calf, the 2 cows so fast as possible get pregnant. so in 1 year 2 new calfs and in 1.5 year the '' calfs'' can also get pregnant.
owning 10 cows can make more more more as enough money to live in the provinces. i spend now 150$ every month (girlfriend and myself).
biggest problem with to much cows is that there is no enough green gras for feed, especially not in dry seasson, price of 1 ha land is 6500$( also a lot in compare with other province) And maybe 4 ha is enough for take care the 10 cows, but there is always the cambodian option to search greengrass and go walk with the cows.
i think raising cows can be a way to earn money in province, and its really not easy to find money in province, i live here now a while and finally is putting a lot money in something but a really low profit back.
growing potatos and selling in pp is also a option.
if somebody has good advice,,,,, you are welcoe
