USDA surveying sheep & goat operations

NASS will contact about 1,700 operations to request their responses to survey in region

PUBLISHED ON December 18, 2022

Starting in late December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural  Statistics Service (NASS) will measure sheep and goat inventories and wool and mohair production through a nationwide survey.  (Purina Animal Nutrition)

ATHENS, Ga. — Starting in late December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural  Statistics Service (NASS) will measure sheep and goat inventories and wool and mohair production through a nationwide survey.

“Interest in sheep and goat data continues to grow with increased diversification in agriculture and  consumer demands,” said Southern Regional Director Anthony Prillaman. “The Sheep and Goat Survey  gives producers the opportunity to report the latest information on conditions and trends in the industry.”

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina operators surveyed will be asked to provide  information about their sheep and goat inventories, counts of lambs and kids born during 2022, and  production and prices received for wool and mohair. In Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina,  NASS will contact about 1,700 operations to request their responses to the survey.

“Accurate data on sheep and goat inventory and production is a significant decision-making tool for  USDA and the industry to be more responsive to domestic and international markets and consumer needs.  The information can also help create public appreciation for the many benefits of U.S. sheep and goats  and their needed products,” added Prillaman.

To make it as easy as possible for producers to participate in the survey, NASS offers the option of  responding online, by telephone or by mail. The results of this survey will be available in aggregate form  only, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal law.

NASS will publish the survey results January 31, 2023 in the Sheep and Goats report. This and all  NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov/Publications. For more information, call the  NASS Southern Regional Office at 800-253-4419.
