RETURN OF SHEEP IN THE PROVINCE OF OTAGO,
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1868.
The following is published for general information,
JULIUS VOOGEL,
Provincial Secretary.
Dunedin, 23rd Nov., 1868.
Sheep Inspector’s Department,
Dunedin, 21st Nov., 1868.
Sir,—I have the honor to forward for the information of the Government, Return of Sheep in the Province of Otago, for the year ended 30th September, 1868.
The accompanying list shows a total of two millions eighty-eight thousand four hundred and twelve (2,088,412) sheep above six months old, of which number one million six hundred and sixty-four thousand one hundred and twenty-one (1,664,121) are depastured on runs; three hundred and fifty-seven thousand four hundred and eighteen (357,418) on freehold; twenty-six thousand eight hundred and forty-three (26,843) hundreds; and forty thousand and thirty (40,030) gold fields.
I am happy to be able to report that of the number returned as diseased, forty-five thousand nine hundred and fifty-two (45,952), only about 8000 are actually so, but in consequence of the lambing, it was found impossible to muster the sheep on the larger stations for inspection, and this cannot now be done till shearing, when I hope to grant clean certificates for them and report that disease has entirely disappeared from the Province.
On referring to the Monthly Report of Diseased Sheep, it will be seen that some good service has been done to the Province by the inspectors, 300,000 having been cleaned during the year. With a view to prevent the further introduction of disease, I would strongly recommend the settlers to dress carefully any imported stock they may purchase; should this be attended to, I have no doubt the sheep throughout the country would be kept clean.
As anticipated in my last report, there has been a considerable increase in the number of sheep depastured on freehold property, and this will now, no doubt, continue yearly to be the case.
The lambing over the Province has been quite equal to the best years.
I have given the number of sheep in the Province from actual returns received, but there are still about 50,000 unreturned, which will increase the total to two millions one hundred and thirty-eight thousand four hundred and six (2,138,406).
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
Wm. LOGIE, Chief Inspector.
The Provincial Treasurer, Dunedin.
