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 PAGE 8 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 you for your consideration of supporting this fund! USSA Percentage Program PURPOSE: Enables members of USSA to identify and maintain records on their nonpurebred replacement seed stock and wethers. 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 sheep and do not have the correct application, please indicate on the application that the animals being registered are percentage Suffolks. 2018/2019 USSA Committees By-Laws Chair: Randy Hodges Committee Members: Bill Gergen, Bill Royer Budget Chair: Bill Royer Committee Members: Jeremy Geske, Randy Hodges, Brenda Reau Scholarship Chair: Blair Summey Committee Members: Ron Alves, Donna Mays, Chuck Ream Youth Promotion Chair: Randy Hodges Committee Members: Bill Gergen, Bill Royer Hospitality Chair: Blair Summey Committee Members: Teresa Harker, Brenda Reau, Randy Hodges Ambassador Chair: Tom Burke Committee Members: John Peck Hall of Fame Chair: Randy Hodges Committee Members: Tom Burke, Greg Deakin, Wayne Skartvedt, Brenda Miller Breed Improvement Chair: Brenda Reau, Randy Hodges Committee Members: Jeremy Geske, Gayle Lucas, Greg Ahart Online Sales Chair: Jeremy Geske Committee Members: Gayle Lucas, Greg Ahart Suffolk GAP Chair: Bill Royer Committee Members: Ron Alves, Randy Hodges 2019 SUFFOLK DIRECTORY
