New Zealand's human population has been outnumbered by cows, latest figures show.

Statistics New Zealand said on Tuesday that a record 5.8 million dairy cattle were counted in the year ending June 2009 - well over the country's human population of 4.3 million. This was 4% higher than the previous year's count.

Sheep numbers, meanwhile, fell to 32.4 million, down 5% from 2008.

Statistics New Zealand also said that the total area planted in wine grapes rose to 32,960 hectares, up 11% from 2007.
