With the aim of investigating the effectiveness of ranked set sampling (RSS) technique for improving the sampling precision of estimating the average milk yield, a study is conducted on a field of (402) sheep in East Jordan. It appears that the relative saving of sampling units when using RSS with set size (3) is between 32% and 44% compared to simple random sampling (SRS). The precision of the estimator obtained using RSS with respect to that obtained using SRS is calculated for both perfect and visual ranking. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
