Abstract

This report outlines the information received from the national producer survey conducted on behalf of Program 1 of the CRC for Sheep Innovation (Sheep CRC). The survey was conducted in February and March of 2014 for the purposes of gathering benchmark information on a range of sheep management practices. A full copy of the questions can be found in Appendix 2.

A similar survey was run in 2011 (Sheep CRC National Farmer Survey Results 2011, Jones et al) and a comparison of the information collected is used to show how producers have changed their practices during that time.

The information from this report was used to produce the report ‘Evaluation of the Sheep CRC Program 1: Transforming sheep and their management, 2014 Jones et al.)
