A warning to dairy farmers: a move to sheep milking is probably not an option.

New Zealand's sheep milk industry is set to benefit from new research by AgResearch.

Sheep have been raised for their milk for thousands of years and were milked before cows.

Rising interest in dairy sheep is about to be matched by the availability of milking ewes thanks to 15-year-old frozen embryos.

Landcorp chief executive Steven Carden says his company plans to set up a second sheep milking farm on one of their properties near Taupo.

Sheep milk has the potential to become a $200 million industry within 10 years, says Waikato Innovation Park chief executive Stuart Gordon.
