Dear Suffolk Breeders, 

I hope you enjoy the 2020 Suffolk Breeder Directory. As always, Greg and the rest of the staff at The Banner does great 

work on our behalf. 

First, I’d like to welcome our newest board members – Carol, Cynthia, Randy, and Jim – thank you for your willingness to 

serve. A big thank you to our outgoing board members – Matt, Gayle, Bill and Bill - for your dedication to the Suffolk 

breed. And to our returning board members – Randy, Tom, Blair, Greg, Gary, Bret and Brenda – thanks for the leadership 

you continue to provide. And especially to our Secretary Amanda – we couldn’t do this without you. 

For many of us in agriculture, 2019 brought all kinds of challenges. So far, 2020 is certainly presenting a different set of 

concerns; and we all have to deal with events being cancelled, changes to our work environment, and restrictions on how 

we live our lives. For me personally, about the only “normal” in my world is my sheep flock. Time in the barn feeding the 

sheep and watching the lambs grow is about the only way to temporarily forget about the issues we are facing. 

As a board, we have some important issues to address. Like most sectors of agriculture, we face declining membership 

numbers as well as declining registrations and transfers (our primary sources of revenue). I’m confident that we can find 

ways for the association to continue to provide exemplary service to our members and work within our budget. Developing 

a plan to allow the USSA to remain a viable organization into the future is our highest priority. 

We all know that there is a fair amount of diversity within our breed of different types and kinds of Suffolk sheep. Each of 

us should continue to raise the kind of Suffolk sheep that we like and that we can effectively market. Regardless of which 

type you raise, we can all work to improve the structural soundness and functionality of our flocks. Suffolks became the 

most popular breed in the US because they excelled in terms of growth rate and carcass merit – traits important to the 

commercial sheep industry. We can’t lose sight of that. We also need to pay attention when our customers complain 

about lack of longevity and fleshing ease in Suffolks, and work to improve those traits in our flocks. I think we have made 

strides in these areas, but we have more work to do. 

I also want to invite each of you to reach out to me as well as your district directors with any concerns. We also want to 

know what you value most about your membership, what ways we can add value to your membership (and value to the 

registration paper). We will likely be sending an email survey to members to gather your feedback. Please take a few 

minutes to share your thoughts. 

Hopefully I will get a chance to see many of you at various shows, sales and sheep events throughout the year (assuming 

we aren’t forced to cancel them). Until then, lets get those lambs growing! 

Cheers, 

Jeremy Geske 

Office Staff 

Amanda, our friendly secretary, 

and office staff can get you the answers 

or information you need. Her job is to provide 

the very best service to Suffolk breeders 

around the world. And she is good at it!

2020 SUFFOLK DIRECTORY

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).

United Suffolk 

Sheep Foundation 

Launched 

USSA is proud to have launched the United 

Suffolk Sheep Foundation in 2019. Funds 

raised by the foundation will be targeted at 

three important goals to support our breed. 

These goals include the development of educational 

programs and materials, youth development, 

and research related to the Suffolk 

breed and the US sheep industry. An added 

bonus to the foundation is contributions are 

tax-deductible. 

PAGE 8 

Bill Royer, past board member, and USSA 

treasurer has provided visionary leadership to 

establish the foundation and is serving as the 

president. Bill says, “I am excited about the 

possibilities to grow our breed with the support 

of the foundation.” 

Tom Burke is serving on the foundation 

board and brings his expertise from working 

with the Angus Foundation that has been 

extremely successful. Tom says, “The foundation 

has tremendous potential for elevating the 

Suffolk breed.” 

The board has discussed two areas that it 

hopes to fund in the coming year. One area is 

to provide some seed funding for young people 

who want to be in the Suffolk business. This 

need was identified at the USSA Annual 

Meeting as members voiced concern about the 

financial barriers to getting started in the sheep 

industry. The board also hopes to fund a new 

scholarship. 

To get the ball rolling on these efforts we 

need to secure contributions from USSA members 

as well as former members who have a 

passion for the Suffolk breed. Funds donated 

may be “restricted” where they are used as the 

donor directs or may be “unrestricted” where 

the board directs how the funds will be allocated. 

There are many ways to contribute. You 

are encouraged to reach out to Amanda Everts 

or any board member to discuss how you might 

support the foundation. A special fundraiser is 

being planned for the 2020 USSA Annual 

Meeting. It will be an exciting time! 

Please refer to the fact sheet on the next 

page for more information about the foundation. 

In addition to Bill Royer and Tom Burke, 

other board members are Amanda Dobson, Bill 

MacCauley, John Peck, Brenda Reau, and 

Wayne Skartvedt. 

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.

United Junior Suffolk Sheep 

Association Board of Directors 

President 

Alison Knutson

alison.knutson@ 

jacks.sdstate.edu 

Hello! 

I am Alison Knutson, the 2019-2020 National Junior Association President. My family’s flock consists 

of 120 registered Suffolk and Rambouillet ewes. I am an Agricultural Education student at South 

Dakota State University and look forward to teaching in South Dakota upon graduating May of 2020. 

This year is definitely one of transition. Our board has had a lot of growth this year with 5 new 

interns and a new coordinator! I am very excited to see what our new members can accomplish. As 

you will see on our next page we have big plans for the future. If you are interested in being a part of 

the board we would love to have you! 

Thank you to all that have supported our junior association throughout the years, especially 

through our transition to joining the All-American show. Our show may be changing but I hope some 

things never do the fun, support and love of showing Suffolks! With that being said, if you have any 

questions or suggestions for the future we want to hear them. 

Our 2020 show will once again be a part of the All-American show July 2-5 in East Lansing, 

Michigan. I look forward to seeing you all at our National Junior Suffolk Show and the many other 

local, state, regional and national shows in the coming year. Please feel free to contact me at

OwnEd EwE LamB 

FUTURITy RULES 

1. Entries open to any ewe lamb born after 

September 1, 2019. Ewe lambs will compete 

in their specific age divisions. 

2. Nomination fee is $25.00 per head 

payable to the United Suffolk Sheep 

Association. Breeders may nominate all of 

their ewe lamb consignments during the 

2020 sale season for a flat fee of $250. Ewe 

lambs must be nominated and designated 

prior to leaving the show ring of their class at 

a futurity sale. Payment of nomination fee is 

to be made prior to the sale of the ewe 

lambs or, for consignment sales, the nomination 

fee can be deducted from the consignor’s 

check (done by sale management). 

Breeders wanting to take advantage of the 

group rate must make the USSA aware of 

their intention before the first sale at which 

they intend to sell futurity lambs. For all ewe 

lambs nominated, the consignor will be 

billed for the nomination even if the lamb is 

not purchased by a junior. 

3. Each ewe lamb must bear the proper 

identification corresponding to the registration 

certificate. The official identifying tag for 

each lamb is the lamb’s scrapie tag or flock 

tag. The scrapie tag or flock tag number 

must be recorded prior to selling and either 

(1) submitted to the USSA Office or (2) must 

be recorded by a USSA Board of Directors 

Representative. 

4. Each ewe lamb must conform to and 

abide by the rules and regulations of the sale 

to which it is consigned. All normal entry fees 

and commissions apply.

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

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.

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).

payout will be based on participation. The 

overall Owned Ewe Lamb winner will receive 

a minimum of $500 total premium payout.

to the sale are not eligible for the futurity 

points or premiums. Sales management

time of nomination. 

5. Eligibility is open to ewe lambs bred by

the Junior Show at the North American

more than two ewe lambs in each division. 

Total points earned by two ewe lambs cannot

7. Futurity points are accepted until the 

youngest lamb entered in the futurity turns 

one year of age.

DNA Testing 

PaGE 32 

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. 

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 

SUFFOLKS 

SET THE 

STANDARD 

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. 

USSA Board 

Adopts Suffolk 

Genetic Recovery 

Program 

The United Suffolk Board on its retreat during 

the spring of 2015 proposed a goal of 

establishing a Suffolk genetic recovery program 

under the Breed Improvement Plan. It 

became apparent to the board that a number of 

Suffolk breeders had not registered their 

Suffolks for many years. These sheep were not 

eligible for the percentage registration program 

even though they were of Suffolk origins. 

The board decided to explore the ramifications 

of allowing these breeders to register 

their sheep by appointing a committee to further 

investigate the issue. The board adopted a 

Suffolk genetic recovery proposal after much 

research and numerous meetings. The parameters 

of the program are as follows. 

Eligibility for Suffolk GAP Registrations: 

1. Must be a member in good standing of 

the USSA or UJSSA. 

2. Certify to the best of your knowledge that 

the sheep being considered for GAP are of 

Suffolk descent by signing the application for 

registration. 

3. Offspring of these ewes are only eligible 

for registration if sired by a registered (fullblood) 

Suffolk ram. 

Instructions for GAP Registrations: 

• Own one or more blackface ewes that are 

Suffolk in their phenotype. 

• Papers have not been maintained on 

these ewes for generations. 

• Records have been maintained on the 

ewes and you are confident that they are 

Suffolk in their genetic makeup. 

• Fill out a background questionnaire on the 

sheep being preposed for registration. 

• An inspection, either physically or photographically, 

will validate their phenotype and 

determine their eligibility for registration. 

• Physical inspection will be by a USSA 

director or designee of the USSA Board. 

• Two photos per ewe will be required 

- One picture of the animal’s head 

(front view) 

- One picture of the animal’s profile 

(side view) 

- Photos should be of reasonable 

quality and clear 

• Once the ewes have been approved for 

registration, complete an application for Suffolk 

GAP registration. 

If you are interested, contact the USSA 

office. The program is for two years only and 

will be terminated December 31, 2020.

MINT GOLD RANCH 

Good ewes look the part with or without working clothes! 

The ewe is “2018,” who is pictured 

as a lamb in the year 2012. She 

has had a major influence in our 

flock as we have kept all of her 

daughters. Including her ewe lamb 

year, she has had 8 lambings and 16 

lambs. She has never lost a lamb! 

Much of that is due to her excellent 

udder, with excellent attachment and 

small teats for easy lamb nursing. 

When we scanned her as a lamb she 

was 121 lbs. Her loin eye was 4.12 in 2 

(adj. to 135 lbs.), 0.20 backfat, 1.54 in. 

loin eye depth. She is nursing twin 

ram lambs currently.

“2018” is just one of several 

outstanding ewes in our flock. 

We will have an excellent set of 

ram lambs for 2020 customers 

to pick from. Pictured is a 

sample of last year’s ram lambs, 

and we expect this year’s crop 

to be equal in quality, having 

used some top notch rams, 

including the top loin eye ram 

as ranked by NSIP. 

We will be consigning to the Center of the 

Nation Sale, Spencer, Iowa on July 25th. 

We can arrange for transportation to most parts of the country. 

We can provide starter flocks of ewes and rams for a kick start for those new to NSIP

Bylaws of the United 

Suffolk Sheep Association 

Amended by membership vote Nov. 1, 2019. 

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.

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,

Section 6. Meeting Procedures. All meetings of 

the membership shall be conducted according to

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

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.

New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri,

Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, 

Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire Massachusetts, 

Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware,

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 

PAGE 64 


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 

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,
