Welcome to the 2018 United Suffolk Sheep Association breeders directory. Many thanks to Greg and his professional
staff at Banner Publications for assembling this piece. This year, for the first time, this directory will be viewable online,
reaching an even greater audience. It will be available at the USSA website and on our Facebook page. Share it, like it
and spread the Suffolk message.
The board hopes everyone likes the cover of this year's directory. Some may have seen glimpses or versions of this
image, but this is the new official logo of your Association. This endeavor began in 2016 and stretched across three
different boards of directors. We took our time, but I think we got it right. I hope you agree. Look for merchandise
bearing this logo, and later this year look for this to appear on a refreshed Association website. The committees
working on this are doing a fantastic job, I promise you will be impressed.
I personally am honored to serve as the tenth President of this Association, approximately 30 men and women have
held this position in the precursor organizations. The gravity of that, I do not take lightly. Because of that I will share my
opinion freely and often. This is one of those times.
Historically, breed associations served two purposes. They recorded pedigrees and served as a conduit for social
interaction amongst their breeders. Once in a while they would delve into breed improvement but usually politics and
infighting among the different factions would get in the way. These two main purposes are still important, but now
almost two decades into the 21st century we must do more. Following is some of what “more” is.
We continue to sanction the USSA online sale series, hopefully giving members more opportunity to buy and sell
Suffolk sheep. We continue to support youth development through the Junior program, hopefully grooming the next
generation of advocates for Suffolk sheep and animal agriculture as a whole. We will continue to build alliances with
allied organizations such as ASI, NSIP, state and local sheep associations, as well as land grant Universities and
bio-tech firms. New this year, we have started an educational webinar series, look for information on that in this
directory. And very importantly we will work to increase the footprint of registered Suffolk genetics within the
commercial sheep industry.
Please register and transfer sheep. The value of that paper leads to so many opportunities for our breed, you as a
breeder, and your customer buying your sheep and starting their own program.
I hope to see you at a USSA event in the near future.
Very sincerely,
Matt Beals

History of the Suffolk Breed
The Suffolk breed, an original English
breed, was the result of crossing Southdown
rams on Norfolk Horned ewes. The product of
this cross was determined to be a great
improvement over either one of the parents.
Although the Suffolk was a recognized breed
as early as 1810, the flock book was not closed
until much later.
In 1930, Southdowns were described as
large sheep without horns, dark faces and legs,
fine bones and long small necks. They were
gray to mouse brown on the face and legs.
They were low set in front with high shoulders
and light forequarters; however, their sides
were good, rather broad in the loin and were
full in the thigh and twist. Today's Suffolk
derives its meatiness and quality wool from the
old original British Southdown.
The Norfolk Horned sheep, now rare, were
a wild and hardy breed. They were black faced,
light, fleeced sheep. Both sexes were horned.
The upland regions of Suffolk, Norfolk and
Cambridge on the southeastern coast of
England are very rugged and forage is sparse.
It was this dry, cold and windy area in which the
Norfolk breed adapted itself to traveling great
distances for food, thereby developing a
superbly muscular body.
It was said at that time of the Norfolk
Horned, "their limbs are long and muscular,
their bodies are long and their general form
betokens activity and strength." This breed and
its crosses were valued highly both by farmers
and butchers. However, sheepmen of that day
did not like the long legs, flat sides, nor wild
nature of the Norfolk Horned. They noted that
Southdowns crossed with Norfolks produced a
progeny that reduced most
of the criticisms of both
breeds.
In 1886, the English
Suffolk Society was organized
to provide registry
service and to further
develop the use of the
breed. Through selection
and careful breeding by
many great English sheepmen,
the Suffolk brought to
this country retained the
qualities for which they
were originally mated.
The first Suffolks were
brought to this country in
1888 by Mr. G.B. Streeter of
Chazy, New York. During a
visit to England the previous year, Mr. Streeter
had been greatly impressed by Suffolk sheep.
These prize breeding animals had belonged to
Joseph Smith of Hasketon, and one 21 month
old ewe weighed exactly 200 pounds when she
came off the ship. A 9 month old ram weighed
195 pounds and in the spring of 1890, a 7 week
old twin weighed 85 pounds. That spring,
Streeter had a 200% lamb crop.
The Suffolk did not make its appearance in
the western states until 1919. Three ewes and
two rams had been donated by the English
Suffolk Sheep Society to the University of
Idaho. One of the rams was to be sold at auction
at the National Ram Sale in Salt Lake City,
Utah.
Several leading sheepmen saw these
sheep at the sale and they liked what they saw.
After several rounds of bidding, the ram was
finally sold to Laidlaw and Brockie (developers
of the Panama breed) of Muldoon, Idaho, for
$500. These men were so impressed with the
offspring from their Suffolk ram that they made
several inportations and were consistent buyers
at the National Ram Sale.
SUFFOLK TRAITS
Mature weights for Suffolk rams range from
250 to 350 pounds (113-159 kg), ewe weights
vary from 180 to 250 pounds (81-113 kg).
Fleece weights from mature ewes are between
five and eight pounds (2.25-3.6 kg) with a yield
of 50 to 62 percent. The fleeces are considered
medium wool type with a fiber diameter of 25.5
to 33.0 microns and a spinning count of 48 to
58. The staple length of Suffolk Fleece ranges
from 2 to 3.5 inches (5-6.75 cm).

Program
PURPOSE: Enables members of USSA to
identify and maintain records on their nonpurebred

RULES AND REGULATIONS*
1. In order to record an animal in the USSA
Percentage Registration Program, you
must be a member in good standing of
USSA or UJSSA.
2. At least one parent must be registered in
the USSA Purebred Registry or the USSA
Percentage Registry.
3. Percentage animals must be identified by
permanent positive identification.
4. Animals registered in the USSA
Percentage Registry will receive a
Percentage Certificate of Registration
(printed on green paper).
5. An animal with a percentage registration
number will not be permitted to enter the
purebred flock book nor will any of its
progeny until the 15/16 level of purity is
reached. Once progeny reaches a level of
purity, the registration will be printed on a
Certificate of Registration (printed on
white paper).
*It is helpful if members submit percentage
registrations on the Application for Percentage
Registration (provided in the directory, on the
website or from the office). If you would like to
submit an application to register percentage

please indicate on the application that the animals
being registered are percentage Suffolks.
Why Foundation
Donations?
The United Suffolk Sheep Association
would like to express thanks to those members
who have in the past, donated to our National
Suffolk Foundation. Many of you include a few
dollars with each work order and that is certainly
welcome and appreciated. We welcome
any size donation. Foundation donations are
included on the fee list. To donate you need
only indicate the amount and include it with
payment. It will be listed on your invoice for
your tax records.
We fear that perhaps many are not aware
of how these funds are utilized. It was determined
some time ago, that these funds would
all go to the USSA Scholarship Fund.
Each year, at Louisville, we award at least
two scholarships to deserving young Suffolk
breeders. We don’t want this to be a best kept
secret, but want to get the word out to all of our
members. It has been announced from time to
time, but we want to bring it to your attention
once more, that these donations are most
appreciated and can do a tremendous amount
of good. Thank your for your consideration of
supporting this fund!

United Junior Suffolk Sheep
Association Board of Directors
Dear Suffolk Juniors,
Finally spring is approaching and by the time you are reading this directory you are eyeing up your
prospects for the show season. Personally, my favorite time of year.
Now there is no other great place to shoe off those sheep than the National Junior Suffolk Show!
This year we will be in Lebanon, Indiana, July 5-8.
If you have never been to a Junior Show, I strongly encourage it. Besides being able to show the
best breed out there, I promise you will meet new people and make friends that will last a lifetime. It is
my favorite event of the summer and myself and the UJSSA Board of Directors are gearing up and
ready to put on a show to remember.
If anyone has any questions about the show, feel free to contact myself or any member of the
board. I wish everyone the best as your lambs grow! The UJSSA Board will be excited to see you in
Lebanon!
Sincerely,
Andrew Slack

The United Junior Suffolk Sheep
Association is an association of young Suffolk
sheep breeders who have joined together to
foster and promote an interest in raising Suffolk
sheep. Anyone under the age of 22 is encouraged
to join. Membership benefits include the
ability to register Suffolk sheep in the United
Suffolk Sheep Association at USSA member
rates; subscription to the Suffolk News maga-
zine; and eligibility to enter the National Junior
Suffolk Show.
The National Junior Suffolk Show is the
finale of the annual events sponsored by the
UJSSA. This is the only national junior livestock
show in the country that is produced and
staffed by the junior directors and members.
The show is financed entirely by entry fees,
junior auctions and fundraising efforts of the
junior members. All donations benefit the juniors.
The Junior Coordinator is the adult representative
of the UJSSA. The Coordinator
receives a stipend from the USSA to help with
travel expenses.
The UJSSA is governed by a Board of
Directors selected by a USSA Selection
Committee. Terms of office are for one year.

5. The USSA will not be held responsible for
any dispute and/or disagreement between
buyers and sellers.
6. Sale Options for Nomination:
a. Consignment Sales. Lambs can be
consigned at the following sales: Oklahoma
Black and White Sale, Illini All Breeds Sale,
USSA Online Sales, Ohio Suffolk Sale,
Nugget All American, Midwest Stud Ram
Sale, New England Sale, Crossroads of the
West Sale and Keystone Ram & Ewe Sale.
Ewe lambs sold at NAILE Suffolk Sale can
be nominated for eligibility in the yearling
ewe futurity the following year. For any other
sale please contact the USSA Office for eligibility.
b. Organized Production Sales. An
individual who desires to nominate ewe
lambs sold in their production sale must
submit their information to the USSA office
prior to the sale for approval. Once a production
sale is approved, that sale does not
need to be reapproved the following years, if
they would like to continue to participate in
the USSA Futurity. In order for lambs to be
eligible, the consignor/seller must submit a
list of the sheep with each animal’s respective
scrapie tag number, which are being
nominated 24 hours prior to the sale. Then,
within 48 hours following the sale the consignor
must provide complete information
for the buyer of the ewe lamb(s). For production
sales, the consignor must pay the
$25 nomination fee per head prior to the
sale or inform the USSA office and a bill will
be sent to the consignor.
c. Organized Internet Sales. For individuals
who would like to nominate ewe lambs
through an organized internet sale, must
submit a list of the sheep with each animal’s
respective scrapie tag number, which are
being nominated 24 hours prior to the sale.
Then, within 48 hours following the sale the
consignor must provide complete information
for the buyer of the ewe lamb(s). For
internet sales, the consignor must pay the
$25 nomination fee per head prior to the
sale or inform the USSA office and a bill will
be sent to the consignor.
Ewe lambs that were not nominated prior
to the sale are not eligible for the futurity
points or premiums. Sales management
shall send in nominations and do not
have the right after the sale to put a ewe
lamb in for a breeder or junior member
after the lamb has been sold.

classes. The USSA is aware that many fairs
no longer offer breed classes, this allows
more youth to participate in the futurity.
Eligibility is no longer restricted to Suffolk
classes.
6. No futurity entrant may compete with
more than two ewe lambs. Total points
earned by two ewe lambs cannot be combined.
7. If registration papers are not received by
the first show, it is the exhibitor’s responsibility
to show the lamb in the proper age category
and have sales receipt to prove ownership.
8. The registered owner of the lamb must
exhibit the lamb. However, if an exhibitor
has two ewe lambs in the same class,
another junior member may exhibit the second
ewe lamb.
9. Premiums: A minimum of $100 will be
paid to the winner of each district. Premium
payout will be based on participation. The
overall USSA Futurity winner will receive a
minimum of $500 total premium payout.
Premiums will be paid out by December 31,
2018.
10. The participant with the most points
(across districts) at the end of the exhibiting

POINT SCORING
1. A point record form must be filled out for
each showing and forward to the USSA
office by December 1st. The form must be
signed by the superintendent of the appropriate
show.
2. At each individual show the ewe lamb
may earn futurity points from both open division
and/or the junior division.
3. Ewe lambs may compete at an unlimited
number of shows. However, only the top
seven (7) point awards go towards their

DNA Testing
With recent advancements in genetic technologies,
selection of your next flock additions
can involve much more than simple phenotypic
appraisals. DNA testing can now allow determination
of genotype directly from an easy-to-take
sample. DNA testing may one day allow selection
for carcass traits, such as muscling and tenderness,
feed efficiency, out of season breeding
and disease and parasite resistance. Already
today, two disorders and diseases that in the
past two decades have been detrimental to the
sheep industry are now being controlled and
even eliminated thanks to DNA testing. These
disorders are Scrapie and Spider Syndrome.
Scrapie is a fatal degenerative disease that
affects the central nervous system in sheep and
can be passed from sheep to sheep. Positive
diagnosis of scrapie can result in a flock being
quarantined and animals destroyed. Fortunately,
sheep can have genetic resistance to scrapie
that can be detected with a simple and inexpensive
DNA test. By using DNA testing it is possible
and practical for a breeder to select for and
breed resistant animals. Buyers can also be
assured that they are buying resistant sheep.
Spider syndrome is a genetic disorder that
causes bent legs, a twisted spine, nose and/or
rib cage. Animals that have this disorder are economic
liabilities to the producer. A DNA test is
also available to determine if a sheep is a carrier
of this genetic mutation.

HOw DO I DNA TEST?
DNA testing is performed by a laboratory and
only requires a sheep owner to submit a sample.
Since DNA is found in every cell in a sheep's
body (except red blood cells), DNA can be isolated
and tested from a variety of sample types.
For sheep DNA testing, the most commonly
used sampling methods are blood tubes (there is
plenty of DNA in white blood cells), blood cards
and ear tag tissue samplers.
Blood tube collection requires the most
expertise, since blood must be obtained from a
vein or artery, and many producers utilize a veterinarian
to collect samples in blood tubes. DNA
tests require that blood be collected in purple top
tubes, which contain an agent (EDTA) that prevents
the blood from clotting. It is more difficult,
but not impossible, to get a good DNA sample
from clotted blood. Blood tube samples should
be kept cold and shipped to the lab soon after
collection.
Blood cards are easier for most users who
want to collect samples themselves, although it
is very important to take a good sample to avoid
problems at the lab. A small cut or nick is made,
most commonly in the ear, and a few drops of
blood collected on the card. Some types of blood
cards require that the sample be allowed to air
dry thoroughly. Blood cards can be kept for a
long period after collection and can be sent to
the lab via regular mail.
Ear tag samplers may be the simplest of all
to use and take a small punch of tissue from the
ear using an applicator very similar to an ear tagger.
Some of the ear tag samplers leave a tag in

the ear, others do not. The container into which
the sample is collected contains a drying agent
that allows the sample to be stored at room temperature
for long periods without damage.
Both blood cards and ear tag samplers allow
the user to sample at one time and submit the
samples later. For example, a sample may be
taken when the lamb is first born and tagged, but
the sample need not be submitted for testing
until it is determined if the lamb will be kept in the
flock.
Hair samples can also be tested, however,
the hair must be pulled and not cut, since most
of the DNA in hair is in the follicle. Any tissue
sample can also be tested. It is best to freeze a
tissue sample and submit it frozen.
HOw DOES DNA TESTING wORK?
First a little background. DNA is the genetic
material of all higher organisms. It is the blueprint
for making and maintaining the animal and
consists of a long string of subunits linked
together – imagine beads on a wire. In the case
of sheep and humans, there are about 3 billion
beads (actually nucleotides). The 3 billion
nucleotides are in several different strings, which
are organized in chromosomes. There are 54
chromosomes in sheep (humans have 46).
These are actually 27 pairs of chromosomes.
One chromosome of each pair comes from the
mother and one from the father.
Along each chromosome are sequences of
nucleotides that comprise genes. Genes are
stretches of DNA that code for proteins, the
building blocks and workhorses of all animals. It
can be that changing a single nucleotide in a
protein can change the function of that protein.
In the cases of scrapie susceptibility and spider
syndrome such changes have occurred in two
sheep genes. (The prion protein gene in the
case of scrapie and a fibroblast growth factor
receptor gene in the case of spider.) DNA testing
detects these single nucleotide changes.
DNA testing, especially testing for scrapie
susceptibility, is sometimes referred to as “codon
testing.” A codon is a subunit of a gene, actually
3 nucleotides that code for a single amino acid
(amino acids are the subunits of proteins – proteins
can also be thought of as beads on a wire,
but this time the beads are amino acids). For
example, the prion protein gene consists of 256
codons, which means that the protein contains
256 amino acids.
Scrapie susceptibility is affected by a few
amino acids, the most important of which is
coded for by codon 171, although codon 136,
154 and 141 also have some effect. Codon 171
codes either for the amino acid glutamine, which
in the single letter amino acid dictionary is abbreviated
as “Q”, or for arginine, abbreviated as “R”.
Thus, sheep may be referred to by their codon
171 genotype as QQ, QR or RR. Remember,
sheep carry two copies of the prion protein gene
(one from mother, one from father) and, therefore,
the genotype must have two letters.
To determine the sheep's genotype, a laboratory
will isolate DNA from the sample submitted
and, by any of a variety of methods, determine
the codon 171 genotype. This sounds simple,
but the difference between Q and R is a single
nucleotide – one out of 3 billion. The fact that
this genotyping can be so easily and economically
accomplished is really quite remarkable.
HOw DO I USE DNA TEST RESULTS?
The results of DNA tests can be used to
guide selection of replacements and help make
breeding and purchase decisions.
2018 SUFFOLK DIRECTORY

Results for scrapie susceptibility (codon 171)
will say that the sheep is QQ, QR or RR. The
very good news is that both QR and RR sheep
are resistant to scrapie. In other words, resistance
is dominant and “R” can also be thought of
as standing for “Resistant.” Therefore, an RR
ram or ewe will only produce resistant (QR or
RR) offspring. When mated to an RR sheep, all
the offspring will be RR, when mated to a QQ
sheep, all the offspring will be QR and when
mated to a QR sheep, half the offspring will be
RR and half will be QR.
It should probably be noted that the codon
136 genotype is sometimes important. Sheep
prion protein genes will be either “A” (alanine) or
“V” (valine) and, therefore, sheep will be either
AA, AV or VV. Both VV and AV sheep are susceptible
to scrapie. Again, there is good news.
“R” and “A” are linked, such that if the gene is “R”
at codon 171, it will be “A” at codon 136.
Therefore, all RR sheep are AA and completely
resistant. QR sheep can be AV, which could
make them susceptible. It may, therefore, be a
good idea to test QR sheep at codon 136.
However, once you find that a sheep is AA, you
never need to test its offspring at codon 136 if
you only breed it to other AA sheep. The offspring
of RR by RR crosses never need to be
tested.
SPIDER SYNDROME
Spider syndrome is a recessive genetic condition
that is widely considered to have originated
in Suffolk sheep. Although sheep with two
copies of the “spider” gene are severely
deformed and rarely live to maturity, however,
sheep with a single copy of the gene have
increased bone growth that generally makes
them larger and taller than an otherwise genetically
identical sheep without the “spider” gene.
The results of a DNA test for Spider
Syndrome will be NN (non-carrier), NS (carrier)
or SS (possess Spider Syndrome, most commonly
known as a spider lamb). “N” and “S” do
not, in the case of Spider Syndrome, stand for
the names of amino acids, but rather mean
“Normal” or “Spider” An NN individual does not
carry the “spider” gene and will never pass it to
its offspring. An NS individual can pass the gene
onto its offspring, but when mated to a NN individual
will never produce a spider lamb. An SS
individual is a spider and probably will never
carry a lamb to term. But in the unlikely case that
this occurs, when bred to a NN individual the offspring
will all be carriers. When bred to an NS
individual 50 percent of the offspring will be carriers
and 50 percent will be spider lambs.
Crossing two NS sheep will, on average, produce
25% normal (NN) lambs, 50% carrier (NS)
lambs, and 25% spider (SS) lambs.
SUFFOLKS AND DNA TESTING
Suffolks have definitely been the “Breed in
the Lead” when it comes to DNA testing and
have widely adopted DNA testing to manage
both scrapie susceptibility and Spider Syndrome.
Several breeds at many sales now
require that sellers guarantee the codon 171 and
spider genotypes of their sheep, a practice originated
by the USSA.
A CAUTIONARY NOTE
The laboratories that do DNA testing are very
good and mistakes are very rare. Breeders are
generally very good sample takers and mistakes
are very rare. However, humans are involved
and mistakes are made. There are sad stories of
people paying lots of money for their RR stud
ram, using him on a large group of their top ewes
and then finding QQ lambs among the offspring.
(Remember, it is not possible to get QQ lambs
when even one parent is RR.) The take home
lesson is that sometimes the expense of an extra
DNA test is very inexpensive insurance.

Bylaws of the United
Suffolk Sheep Association
Amended by membership vote Nov. 1, 2017.
ARTICLE I. NAME.
The name of this organization shall be the United
Suffolk Sheep Association (USSA).
ARTICLE II. PURPOSE.
The United Suffolk Sheep Association is a nonprofit
organization, without capital stock, whose
purpose is to foster, promote and develop the
Suffolk breed of sheep in particular, and the sheep
industry in general. It shall keep records of all
sheep recorded in or by the Association, issue official
papers covering the same and perform any
and all functions connected with the registration of
sheep. Such records shall be permanent in character
and at the disposition of the members or contractors
of the Association. The Association shall
receive and disburse the finances of the organization.
ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP.
Section 1. General Qualifications. Any owner
and registrant of Suffolk or percentage Suffolk in
the United Suffolk Sheep Association may become
a member; provided that each owner and registrant
shall be represented by but one membership
whether such owner and registrant are an individual,
partnership, corporation, association or other
entity. To be a member in good standing for purposes
of voting in Association elections, a member
must: (1) have paid dues for the current year, (2)
have no outstanding financial obligation to the
Association more than sixty (60) days past due, (3)
currently own Suffolk sheep and (4) have registered
sheep in the United Suffolk Sheep
Association within the last fiscal year. Individuals
wishing to become Associate members of the
Association may do so simply by paying annual
dues. Associate members cannot vote in
Association elections.
Section 2. Junior Membership. The Board of
Directors shall have the authority to establish a
separate membership class for junior members
with such limitations and qualifications as the
Board shall establish from time to time; provided,
however the such junior member shall have no voting
rights. Details on Junior Membership are
described in the United Suffolk Sheep Association
Junior Membership Bylaws.
Section 3. Members that are not individuals.
Any member that is a partnership, corporation,
Association, or other entity (i.e. not an individual
person) shall designate in writing to the
Association the name of the individual who is
authorized to sign and vote on behalf of the member.
Section 4. Voting Rights. Each member of the
Association in good standing, other than Junior
members, shall be entitled to one vote on each
matter submitted to a vote of the membership. A
member may vote either in person or by proxy
appointed in writing by the member or his duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. An appointed proxy
must be a member of the Association. No proxy
shall be valid after 90 days from the date of its executing,
unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
Section 5. Membership dues and service fees.
The Board of Directors may determine from time to
time the amount of annual membership dues and
the amount of fees for services that shall be
payable to the Association. The Board of Directors
may also establish the time or times at which membership
dues and service fees are due and
payable, and procedures for dealing with members
and others in default of payment. If a person or
organization is in default of annual membership
payment, all registration and associated fees will
be billed at non-member rates until annual dues
are paid. Other unpaid fees may result in the
Association’s refusal to register any sheep for that
person until all fees are paid in full.
Section 6. Withdrawals. Any member may withdraw
from membership in the Association by giving
written notice of intent to withdraw to the
Association at its principal office. Upon receipt of
any such notice, the membership of such member
shall terminate; provided, however, that after a
complaint has been initiated against a member, the
right of such member to withdraw from membership
shall be suspended until the termination of all
proceedings in connection with such complaint,
unless the Executive Committee or the Board of
Directors otherwise approves.
ARTICLE IV. MEETINGS OF THE
MEMBERSHIP.
Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting
of the membership shall be held at such time and
place as the Board of Directors may designate.
Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of
the members may be held at any time for any purpose
or purposes at such designated place.
Special meetings may be called by the President
or by the Board of Directors or by members having
not less than twenty-five votes. The person calling
a special meeting shall designate the date, time
and place of such meeting and shall give notice at
least 25 days prior to and no longer than 60 days
prior to the meeting.
Section 3. Notice. Written notice of all meetings
stating the place, date, time, and purpose(s) of
said meeting must be called under the following
conditions. Correspondence regarding the meeting
shall be delivered not less than twenty-five (25)
days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date
of the meeting. It is the responsibility of those initiating
the meeting to see that the membership is
informed in a timely fashion.
Section 4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any
notice is required to be given under the provisions
of these Bylaws, or of any law, a waiver thereof in
writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to
such notice whether before, at, or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed the equivalent to
the giving of such notice. To the extent permitted
by law, attendance of a member at any meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting.
Section 5. Quorum. A quorum at any meeting of
the membership shall consist of not less than twenty-five
members in good standing present in person
or by proxy. Every decision of a majority of
such quorum shall be valid as a corporate act,
except in those specific instances in which a larger
vote is required by law or by these Bylaws.
Section 6. Meeting Procedures. All meetings of
the membership shall be conducted according to
parliamentary procedures as set forth in the latest
revision of Robert’s Rules of Order.
ARTICLE V. DIRECTORS.
Section 1. Powers of the Board. A Board of
Directors shall manage the property and affairs of
the Association. The Board of Directors derives its
powers and authority from the members and its
powers and authority is limited by and subject to
the will of the members voting in person or by
proxy at any annual meeting or special called
meeting. Except as limited by law and the members,
the Board of Directors shall have and is vested
with the power and authority to do, or cause to
be done, any and all things for and on behalf of the
Association, to exercise or cause to be exercised
any and all of its powers, privileges or franchises
and to seek the effectuation of its purposes and
objectives.
Section 2. Number and Qualifications. The
Board of Directors shall consist of twelve members
of the Association in good standing. Prior to declaring
their candidacy, a member must have registered
sheep with the Association in the calendar
year of their candidacy and in each of the immediate
prior two calendar years. The Secretary shall
ascertain the qualification of the candidate prior to
placing their name on the ballot and shall report
any unqualified candidates to the President.
Directors must continue to register sheep in each
and every calendar year while serving on the
board. Additionally, any Director who fails to register
sheep in each and every calendar year while
serving on the Board as required shall be removed
from the Board by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors shall establish the method of
election and appropriate steps to ensure that all
members are represented.
Section 3. Term of Office. The twelve members of
the Board of Directors shall be elected from four
districts. Three Directors shall be elected from
each district. The four districts shall be initially
established as follows: District 1. Alaska, Hawaii,
Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada,
Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and Montana. District 2.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado,
New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Tennessee. District 3. Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Kentucky. District 4. Michigan, Indiana,
Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York,
Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Florida. To provide equal representation
to members, it is intended that these districts
have substantially the same number sheep registered
with the Association each year. The Directors
may from time to time move one or more states to
contiguous districts to equalize the numbers of registrations
in each district.
The term of office of the Directors shall be three
years and until their successors are elected and
take office. Nothing contained herein shall preclude
a member of the Board of Directors from succeeding
himself or herself, except that no person
shall consecutively serve more than two three-year
terms. Following service of two consecutive threeyear
terms, a member would again be eligible for
election to the Board of Directors at the first election
following the end of the most recent term
served by that former Director. Not more than two
Directors residing in any one state may serve on
the Board at any one time and all Directors must
reside in the district which they represent.
Section 4. Election of Directors. Candidates for
a director’s position shall cause to be delivered to
the USSA office a letter of nomination, which letter
shall be received at the office by August 1 of that
year. An official ballot containing the names and
resumes of district candidates shall be mailed to all
members of the association by September 1 of that
2018 SUFFOLK DIRECTORY PAGE 79

year. To vote in the election of Directors, a member
must return the ballot to the association office by
October 1 of that year. Director applicants receiving
the most votes in his/her district shall be
deemed elected. In the event of a tie, the present
directors will pick the winner or one of the tie candidates
may choose to refrain from election. The
secretary of the USSA will inform, by mail, all voting
members of the election results.
Section 5. Commencement of Term of Office.
Newly elected Directors shall commence their term
of office immediately following the adjournment of
the last regular meeting of the Board of Directors,
preceding the Annual Meeting of members.
Section 6. Vacancies. In the case of a vacancy on
the Board of Directors, the Directors shall have the
power to fill such vacancy with the appointment of
a member who lives in the district with the vacant
seat to serve the unexpired term until the next
annual meeting, at which time the opening would
be filled in the same manner provided in Section 4.
In the event of a vacancy and a full-term board
seat both being available in the same district,
members will vote for two (2) candidates. The two
candidates receiving the most votes will fill the
Board of Directors vacancies in the following manner.
The person with the most votes will fill the
three-year term and the person with the second
most votes will fill the shorter term. Filling an
uncompleted term will not preclude a Director from
being elected to the Board of Directors for two consecutive
three-year terms.
Section 7. Compensation. Directors shall not
receive any stated compensation for their services,
but by resolution of the Board, reimbursement for
expenses, if any, may be allowed for attendance at
each meeting of the Board, or for performing other
duties assigned by the Board.
Section 8. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting
of the Board of Directors shall be held at a location
to coincide with the annual meeting of the membership
and either precedes or follow the annual
membership meeting. Special circumstances
allow the Board to designate an alternative time
and location.
Section 9. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings
of the Board of Directors, whether they be face to
face or conference calls, will be held periodically
during the year as deemed the Board President or
any three Board Members.
Section 10. Special Meetings. A special meeting
of the Board may be called at any time by the
President, or any three or more of the Directors by
giving ten days’ notice of such meeting to each
member of the Board of Directors, either personally
or by mail, stating the time, place and purpose of
any such meeting. The place of the special meeting
may be within or without the State of Missouri,
as designated in the notice. The purpose of the
special meeting must be specified in writing and
provided to each Board member at the time the
meeting is called.
Section 11. Special Meeting by Conference
Telephone. Members of the Board or of any committee
may participate in a meeting of the Board or
its committees by means of conference telephone
or other similar communications equipment, provided
there has been five days written notice,
whereby all persons participating in the meeting
can hear each other, and participation in a meeting
in such a manner shall constitute being present at
such meeting.
Section 12. Action in Lieu of Meeting. Unless
otherwise restricted by law, any action requested
to be, or that may be, taken at a meeting of the
Board, may be taken without a meeting if consent
in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be
signed by all of the Directors entitled to vote with
respect to the subject matter thereof. Any such
consent signed by all of the Directors shall have
PAGE 80
the same effect as a unanimous vote and may be
stated as such in any document describing the
action taken by the Board of Directors.
Section 13. Waiver of Notice. Any notice provided
or required to be given to the Directors may be
waived in writing by any of them, whether before,
at, or after the times stated therein. The attendance
of a Director at any meeting shall constitute
waiver of notice of such meeting except where the
Director attends and so states at the opening of the
meeting, for the express purpose of objecting to
the transaction of any business because the meeting
was not lawfully called or convened.
Section 14. Quorum. At all meetings of the Board
of Directors, a majority of the whole Board shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business,
and the act of a majority of the Directors
present at any meeting at which there is a quorum,
except as may be otherwise specifically provided
by law or by these Bylaws or by Articles of
Incorporation shall be the act of the Board of
Directors.
Section 15. Resignation. Any Directors may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof
to the Board of Directors. Such resignation shall
take effect at the time specified in the notice, and
unless otherwise specified therein, formal acceptance
of such resignation shall be necessary to
make it effective.
Section 16. Removal. Any Director may be
removed, with cause, by the vote of two thirds (2/3)
majority of the members in that Director’s district
present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the
membership called expressly for that purpose, at
which a quorum is present. Formal notice to all
Association members in that Director’s district of
the proposed removal of any Director must be
made in writing at least twenty-five (25) days prior
to and no longer than sixty (60) days prior to the
meeting. The Directors(s) must be provided an
opportunity to respond to any accusations. The

by proxy; will be required to remove a director. The

and time of the meeting.
