Agricultural holdings rearing sheep bycategory (4) — Administrative districts — Cut-off date

*Short description The population of the survey of sheep stocks includes farms with at least 20 sheep. On the basis of this population, a sample is taken annually at the reporting date of 3 November. From the material of these sample surveys, extrapolated results are prepared for the country and the administrative districts. In order to avoid inaccuracies due to sample influences in the presentation, the extrapolated data is published rounded. Farm numbers are rounded to full tens and animal numbers to full hundreds. For the extrapolated results, an error calculation is carried out, the result of which is taken into account at the time of publication. Values with a simple relative standard error ranging from 10 % to less than 15 % are displayed (restricted). Values with a simple relative standard error of 15 % or more are not published in the table due to the too large estimation error, but a “/” is displayed instead. Deviations in the sums are explained by rounding the individual values. The quality report provides information on methods and definitions as well as the quality of the results of a statistics.
