The D.P.I. Sheep Research Centre at Menifo

Abstract

In 1974, at the request of the Papua New Guinea Administration, the New Zealand Government arranged for feasibility studies to be carried out for a sheep project in the Highlands. The land chosen for the project was at Menifo, about 20 km south of Goroka. It covers 324 hectares of open grassland about 1600 m above sea level and was formerly part of Bena Bena cattle station. The D.P.I. Sheep Research Centre at Menifo is an N.P.E.P. project and is assisted by New Zealand.
