The results are used by industry in forecasting the future size of the flock and lamb production. From this particular survey, the results paint a picture of a flock rebuild based on the retention of breeding ewes.
As at February 2021, there were 41.3 million breeding ewes of which 31.4 million, or 76%, are Merinos. It is these breeding ewes that will drive the rebuild.
