    Sheep numbers would not go up sheep farmer numbers would go down.
    If fairness they are doing it without subsidy I dont know anyone who would do that here. I didnt say the kiwi know everything just pointing out the differences.

    No direct payments for us and we're turning something of a margin. Have low fixed costs and variable costs are mostly investments in fencing and housing.

    Think I read someplace that Kiwis and Aussies say they need to have 800+ sheep before another "labour unit" is considered. But very hard to compare here with there - we both farm sheep is about all you could safely say is common to both places.
