Family-run cattle farms can collect a lot of cheap hay, while large-scale cattle farms often face the problem of insufficient hay reserves, which is the biggest advantage of family-run cattle farms.

Family-run cattle farms are relatively small, allowing for observation of each cow's feeding and health status, making management relatively easy and allowing for other tasks to be completed without delay.
3. Benefit advantages
Family-run cattle farms are run by the owners and employees themselves, resulting in relatively low labor costs. If they can achieve a certain scale, the government also offers certain subsidies and preferential policies to family-run cattle farms, allowing villagers to increase their income from home.
