Economic reports

Here you’ll find sheep and beef sector reports on projected and past farm income, expenditure, and profit before tax.

This page also includes market and economic conditions for the new season. Reports are updated mid-season, and we estimate the projected lamb crop every November.

Our Economic Service team also provides one-off presentations and reports on specific subjects related to the sheep and beef sector, including annual cost movement reports and stock number reporting.
