Prior to 1992 the average price per hectare fluctuated considerably, in both real and nominal terms. The average price per hectare rose steeply from 1992 to 1995 (see Graph 5.2). Between 1995 and 2000, the average price per hectare decreased. However, this trend reversed decisively in 2001 peaking in 2008 where the average price per hectare was $35,143. Dairy land prices have declined 16% over the last two years. These figures are based on the calendar year (Jan-Dec), as opposed to the dairy industry season (Jun-May).

B. Breed breakdown Three dairy breeds (Holstein-Friesian, Jersey, and Friesian/Jersey crossbreed) dominate the dairy cow inseminations carried out in New Zealand, as recorded on the LIC National Database. The Jersey breed dominated the national dairy herd until the late 1960s. By 1970, Holstein-Friesian was the dominant dairy breed in New Zealand, as a result of changes in farm management practices and farmers raising larger numbers of dairy calves for beef. Of the other breeds of cattle used to inseminate dairy cows, the main beef breed currently in use is Polled Hereford. Other beef breeds used to a lesser degree include Angus, Belgian Blue, and Simmental. Other breeds of dairy cattle present in smaller numbers in New Zealand include Milking Shorthorn, Guernsey and Brown Swiss. Holstein-Friesian/Jersey crossbreed is emerging as a breed in its own right for the insemination of dairy cows. The percentages of the major dairy breeds for New Zealand and each region are shown in Graph 5.3. Percentages are given for Holstein- Friesian, Jersey, Holstein-Friesian/Jersey crossbreed and Ayrshire cows with the remaining breeds and crossbreeds grouped into “Other”. Holstein-Friesian is the prevalent breed in Northland, Bay of Plenty/East Coast and Manawatu/Wairarapa (formerly Wellington/Hawkes Bay). For the fi rst time, Waikato (formerly Auckland) and the South Island now join Taranaki in having Holstein-Friesian/Jersey crossbreed as the prevalent breed. The Manawatu/Wairarapa region continues to have the highest percentage of Holstein-Friesian cows (51%) followed closely by Bay of Plenty/East Coast (49%). Taranaki has the highest proportion of Jerseys (21%) and the South Island has the highest proportion of Holstein-Friesian/Jersey crossbreeds (42%), followed closely by Waikato (41%).
