šŸ’Ø Abstract

In 2025, New Zealand has 23.6 million sheep and 5.3 million people, with some 4.5 sheep per person, down from 22 in 1982. The decline is due to falling wool prices and a shift to synthetic fibers, leading farmers to switch to dairy or forestry. Government measures aim to slow the decline, but the trend is similar in nearby Australia, which also has more sheep than people.
