Cattle Farm

Cattle Farming: Cattle farming is good & also commercial option if you have own land for sheds & grass growing. One or two family members contribute some efforts & keeping two-three dedicated labourers suffice initially. Over the time you can add more labour. Effectively, we can earn: (start small & grow over months...)

  • INR 30,000 - 50,000 per month if capital is < INR 10 L
  • INR 50,000 - 80,000 per month if capital is ~ INR 15 L
  • INR 80,000 - 1,00,000 per month if capital is > INR 20 L
Capital Requirements
  • Fixed costs (one time)   12 - 15 L
  • Running Costs: INR 25 - 40 k (month) & INR 3 - 5 L (year)
Revenue Model:  
  • Income from Milk: INR 50 - 90 k (month) & INR 6 - 10 L (year)
  • Cow Dung: INR 50 k / year
  • From 4th Year onwards by selling Cows: INR 3 - 4 L / year
Cattle Farming Project Plan 

Income model Milk /Day Rev/Day Rev / Month Rev/Year
Assume 5 give Milk 50 1500 45000 540000
Assume 7 give Milk 70 2100 63000 756000
Assume 9 give Milk 90 2700 81000 972000
Assume 10 give Milk 100 3000 90000 1080000
Assume 12 give Milk 120 3600 108000 1296000


Other Incomes
  • 2nd year onwards: 50% female cattle borns i.e. 6 and 3rd year : 12 + 6 + 6 , then 4th year: 18+12
  • Sell 6 cows every year from 4th year = 2.5 L / year
  • Cow Dung: ~1 L / year
Other points / benefits to consider:
  • Insurance for Cows
  • Loans & Subsidy from Nabard or other Govt. sources
  • Running multiple Farms in same compound like Sheep/Goat / Rabbit/Fish etc, gives additional income.
