    Footnotes:
    1. Due to confidentiality constraints, the data for one or more adjacent geographic areas having very few farms have been combined with the data from this census consolidated subdivision or census division. For the names of the geographic areas included in this amalgamation and the number of farms in them, click on Geographic area amalgamations.

    2. Due to coverage problems in 1996, the total number of sheep and lambs in Newfoundland and Labrador was understated. These errors limit the comparability of the data between 1996 and 2001.

    3. Due to reporting difficulties, data for the two lamb categories — replacement lambs and market lambs — have been combined. The total number of lambs, however, was not affected, and the data are comparable with previous censuses.
