When you’re pushing for something big, avoid having S ex, especially if you’re not married . Se x blocks a lot of things .

A more profitable way of running livestock

Breeding is not always the best way to make money in livestock farming. You might profit more by buying young animals and rounding them off.Volatile markets, bad weather patterns linked to climate change, and rising input costs have put increasing pressure on livestock farmers.

For this reason, some farmers in South Africa and abroad have stopped breeding animals and moved to agribusiness. That is, they buy young livestock from other farmers (letting these farmers carry the risks of breeding), then round off the animals for sale.
Let’s say you have a small-scale livestock operation with 100 wool-producing ewes.
These could cost R1 800 each to buy, a total of R180 000. If you’re successful and can breed at a weaning rate of 75%, the ewes will produce 75 lambs. Each could be worth about R1 000 at four to five months old when they weigh about 25kg.
If you sell them all, you’d therefore make R75 000.

Remember that input costs such as labour, medication and extra feed must be subtracted from this. In addition, you’d probably need to sell the lambs before shearing them as most buyers request this; you’d therefore get no money for their wool.
Shearing the ewes would bring in, say, R350/ewe if the wool is of good quality, so your income from wool would be R35 000.
Your total gross income (before subtracting costs) for all these sheep would therefore be R110 000 (that is, R75 000 + R35 000).
However, if you’re farming under difficult circumstances and your weaning rate is only 15%, you would have produced 15 lambs. At R1 000/lamb, your gross income from lamb sales would be only R15 000. Add the income from wool at R350/ewe, and your total gross income would be R50 000.
This vast difference in income shows how important it is to have a good lamb weaning rate if you’re a sheep breeder.

An alternative approach
If breeding lambs is proving difficult in your area, consider buying male ‘store lambs’ from a breeder. These are quite har

Go on TikTok it's a mess! Chinese manufacturers are all over selling their products directly to people because of the tariff war with the US. Well-known brands where you buy for $300 each item, it actually cost $5 in China and made in China.

Whoa! TikTok will be banned. It's so chaotic, they've even put their websites and contact numbers to place orders 👀🤭

China isn't playing! Now, this is a trade war.
