VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1 JANUARY 2011
Welcome to the
January 2011 issue of the
Annual Sheep and Goat Re-view!
First, I thank all par-ticipants
from the sheep
and goat industries for their
continued support and co-operation
– especially the
producers who provide data
for the annual Sheep and
Goats survey. Without their
commitment and participa-tion,
this report would not
be possible.
This publication is a compi-lation
of related reports
issued by USDA’s National
Agricultural Statistics Ser-vice
(NASS) in an effort to
provide a complete source
of statistics relevant to the
sheep and goat industry.
Though many of the statis-tics
in this publication can
be accessed through our
website on a monthly basis
(www. n a s s . u s d a . g o v /
Publications), this Okla-homa
Field Office summary
will be issued each January
following the release of the
USDA-NASS annual Sheep
and Goats report.
Please feel free to contact
our office with any com-ments
or questions you may
have. I hope you find this
information useful!

The majority of Oklahoma’s goats are meat-type. Initial goat estimates, which began in
2005, showed 73,000 meat goats. They peaked in 2008 when the meat-type inventory was meas-ured
at 115,000 head. The current level of 91,000 is up 1 percent from a year ago.
Milk goats make up the bulk of the remaining total goats. In 2005, there were 9,000 head esti-mated
with a high inventory of 10,000 reached in 2006. The 2011 inventory of 6,000 is down
2,100 head from last year.
