Breeding sheep inventory at 3.83 million head on January, 208, decreased percent from 3.88 million head on January, 207. Ewes one year old and older, at million head, were percent below last year. Market sheep and lambs on January, 208 totaled.40 million head, up 2 percent from January, 207. Market lambs comprised 94 percent of the total market inventory. Market sheep comprised the remaining 6 percent of total market inventory. The 207 lamb crop of 3.20 million head was down 2 percent from 206. The 207 lambing rate was 05 lambs per ewes one year old and older on January, 207, unchanged from 206. Shorn wool production in the United States during 207 was 24.7 million pounds, down 5 percent from 206. Sheep and lambs shorn totaled 3.44 million head, down 4 percent from 206. The average price paid for wool sold in 207 was $.47 per pound for a total value of 36.4 million dollars, down 3 percent from 37.7 million dollars in 206. Sheep death loss during 207 totaled 23 thousand head, down 2 percent from 206. Lamb death loss decreased 2 percent from 373 thousand head to 367 thousand head in 207. January All Goats and Kids Inventory Down Percent All goats and kids inventory in the United States on January, 208 totaled 2.62 million head, down percent from 207. Breeding goat inventory totaled 2.6 million head, down slightly from 207. Does one year old and older, at.60 million head, were percent below last year's number. Market goats and kids totaled 459 thousand head, down 2 percent from a year ago. Kid crop for 207 totaled.64 million head for all goats, down slightly from 206. Meat and all other goats totaled million head on January, 208, down percent from 207. Milk goat inventory was 380 thousand head, up 2 percent from January, 207, while Angora goats were down 7 percent, totaling 42 thousand head. Mohair production in the United States during 207 was 725 thousand pounds. Goats and kids clipped totaled 33 thousand head. Average weight per clip was 5.5 pounds. Mohair price was $0 per pound with a value of 3.62 million dollars. Sheep and Goats Revisions All sheep and goats inventory and lamb and kid crop estimates for January, 207, were reviewed using official slaughter, import and export data, and the relationship of new survey information to the prior surveys. No revisions were made to goats and kids inventory or kid crop at the United States level. A revision of less than percent was made to sheep and lambs inventory and no change was made to the lamb crop. State level estimates were reviewed and changes were made to reallocate inventory estimates to the United States total.

18 Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: A random sample of United States producers was surveyed to provide data for these estimates. Survey procedures ensured that all sheep and goat producers, regardless of size, had a chance to be included in the survey. Large producers were sampled more heavily than small operations. About 2,800 operators were contacted during the first half of January by mail, telephone and face-to-face personal interview and 69 percent of the reports were usable. Regardless of when operators responded, they were asked to report inventories as of January. Estimating Procedures: These sheep and goat estimates were prepared by the Agricultural Statistics Board. National and State survey data were reviewed for reasonableness and with estimates from past years. A projected balance sheet for calendar year 207 was also used. The balance sheet begins with the previous inventory estimate, adds estimates of births and imports, and subtracts estimates of slaughter, exports and deaths. This indicated ending inventory level is compared with the Agricultural Statistics Board estimate for reasonableness. Revision Policy: Revisions to previous estimates are made to improve the current estimate. Previous year estimates are subject to revision when current estimates are made. Estimates will also be reviewed after data from the Department of Agriculture s five-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions will be made after that date. Reliability: Since all operations raising sheep and goats are not included in the sample, survey estimates are subject to sampling variability. Survey results are also subject to non-sampling errors, such as omissions, duplications, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. The effects of these errors cannot be measured directly. They are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and through a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness. To assist users in evaluating reliability of the estimates in this report, the "Root Mean Square Error" is shown for selected sheep items in the following table. The "Root Mean Square Error" is a statistical measure based on past performance and is computed using the differences between the first and latest estimates. The "Root Mean Square Error" for sheep and lambs inventory estimates over the past 0 years is 0.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the final estimate will not be above or below the current estimate of 5.23 million head by more than 0.8 percent. Chances are 9 out of 0 that the difference will not exceed.4 percent. The Root Mean Square Error for sheep shorn over the past 0 years is.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the final estimate will not be above or below the current estimate of 3.44 million head by more than.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 0 that the difference will not exceed 2.3 percent. Also shown in the table is a 0-year record showing the range between the first inventory estimate and the latest estimate. Using estimates for All Sheep and Lambs as an example, changes between the first inventory estimate and the latest estimate during the past 0 years have averaged 32,000 head, ranging from 0 to 05,000 head. The initial inventory estimate of All Sheep and Lambs has been below the latest estimate 4 times and above the latest estimate 4 times in the last 0 years. For Sheep and Lambs Shorn, changes between the first inventory estimate and the latest estimate during the past 0 years have averaged 24,000 head, ranging from 0 to 40,000 head. The initial inventory estimate of Sheep and Lambs Shorn has been below the latest estimate 0 times and above 6 times in the last 0 years. 8 Sheep and Goats (January 208)
