I wouldn't say there are too many sheep in New Zealand, but there are definitely quite a few. However, there used to be 10-20 sheep for every person in New Zealand (40 million sheep to 4 million people). Now, as the population of the country grows (it's now at nearly 4.5 million) and the number of sheep shrink, the number of sheep per person has decreased.

There are no such things as "ranchers" in Australia and New Zealand. in Australia, the most common livestock is sheep and cattle, and these are raised on sheep and cattle stations, by station-owners. In New Zealand, farmers mostly raise sheep on runs or stations.
