    Recently, there has been news that the price of mutton has plummeted and sheep raising has lost money.


    "After the Spring Festival this year, the prices of mutton and live sheep have fallen, but the decline has not exceeded 10%, and is still at the highest level in the same period in history


    Let's look at the price of lamb first


    Look at the price of live sheep


    Xiao Haifeng told reporters that since October 2016, although the price of mutton in China has fluctuated seasonally every year, it has shown an overall upward trend


    Experts said that although the year-on-year increase, but the month-on-month decline, the reasons can be analyzed from the two aspects of supply and consumption


    From the perspective of supply, the increase in domestic breeding and imports is relatively large


    In terms of consumption, seasonal consumption and alternative consumption have both declined


    Although the price of mutton has not changed significantly, some changes have taken place in the income of raising sheep


    The data shows that affected by the drop in live sheep prices, the average net income of each sheep with a standard weight of 45 kg in July was 590 yuan, a decrease of 13.


    In terms of different breeding models, the average net income of each sheep from self-breeding and self-raising households dropped from 894 yuan per animal in April to 833 yuan per animal in July, a decrease of 6.


    Xiao Haifeng believes that the current efficiency of sheep raising has indeed declined, especially the decline in professional fattening of sheep.


    Why the price of sheep for slaughter fell even more? Xiao Haifeng told reporters that the number of sheep and goat breeding in China has undergone major changes in recent years


    Next, what will happen to the price of mutton and the benefit of raising sheep? Xiao Haifeng said that mutton consumption will gradually enter the peak season in the second half of the year, especially with the arrival of Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and New Year's Day, mutton consumption demand will continue to increase
