The witnesses have a very interesting forum here today and obviously people will be listening in. Will they give people an idea of the practical issues facing their industry? How much milk does an average sheep produce per year? How much protein and butterfat is there in sheep milk? What is the value per gallon or per litre? Could we get an indication of what the value of this animal to the industry is?
