Abstract
The agricultural sector has undergone a large change in 15 years from 1985 to 2000. Changes in livestock numbers signpost the changes in agriculture and land use. Over 15 years of restructuring nothing has replaced agriculture’s contribution to GDP. The agriculture sector change has led to a more efficient sector at all levels and of particular note is the significant increase in sheep productivity. Following from this the potential for further sheep genetic improvement is discussed using the Meat and Wool Economic Service’s All Classes Sheep and Beef Farm to show farm potential.
