Dear <strong>Suffolk</strong> Breeders,<br />
I hope you enjoy the <strong>2020</strong> <strong>Suffolk</strong> Breeder <strong>Directory</strong>. As always, Greg and the rest of the staff at The Banner does great<br />
work on our behalf.<br />
First, I’d like to welcome our newest board members – Carol, Cynthia, Randy, and Jim – thank you for your willingness to<br />
serve. A big thank you to our outgoing board members – Matt, Gayle, Bill and Bill - for your dedication to the <strong>Suffolk</strong><br />
breed. And to our returning board members – Randy, Tom, Blair, Greg, Gary, Bret and Brenda – thanks for the leadership<br />
you continue to provide. And especially to our Secretary Amanda – we couldn’t do this without you.<br />
For many of us in agriculture, 2019 brought all kinds of challenges. So far, <strong>2020</strong> is certainly presenting a different set of<br />
concerns; and we all have to deal with events being cancelled, changes to our work environment, and restrictions on how<br />
we live our lives. For me personally, about the only “normal” in my world is my sheep flock. Time in the barn feeding the<br />
sheep and watching the lambs grow is about the only way to temporarily forget about the issues we are facing.<br />
As a board, we have some important issues to address. Like most sectors of agriculture, we face declining membership<br />
numbers as well as declining registrations and transfers (our primary sources of revenue). I’m confident that we can find<br />
ways for the association to continue to provide exemplary service to our members and work within our budget. Developing<br />
a plan to allow the USSA to remain a viable organization into the future is our highest priority.<br />
We all know that there is a fair amount of diversity within our breed of different types and kinds of <strong>Suffolk</strong> sheep. Each of<br />
us should continue to raise the kind of <strong>Suffolk</strong> sheep that we like and that we can effectively market. Regardless of which<br />
type you raise, we can all work to improve the structural soundness and functionality of our flocks. <strong>Suffolk</strong>s became the<br />
most popular breed in the US because they excelled in terms of growth rate and carcass merit – traits important to the<br />
commercial sheep industry. We can’t lose sight of that. We also need to pay attention when our customers complain<br />
about lack of longevity and fleshing ease in <strong>Suffolk</strong>s, and work to improve those traits in our flocks. I think we have made<br />
strides in these areas, but we have more work to do.<br />
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<br />
know what you value most about your membership, what ways we can add value to your membership (and value to the<br />
registration paper). We will likely be sending an email survey to members to gather your feedback. Please take a few<br />
minutes to share your thoughts.<br />
Hopefully I will get a chance to see many of you at various shows, sales and sheep events throughout the year (assuming<br />
we aren’t forced to cancel them). Until then, lets get those lambs growing!<br />
Cheers,<br />
Jeremy Geske<br />
Office Staff<br />
Amanda, our friendly secretary,<br />
and office staff can get you the answers<br />
or information you need. Her job is to provide<br />
the very best service to <strong>Suffolk</strong> breeders<br />
around the world. And she is good at it!<br />

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

United <strong>Suffolk</strong><br />
Sheep Foundation<br />
Launched<br />
USSA is proud to have launched the United<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep Foundation in 2019. Funds<br />
raised by the foundation will be targeted at<br />
three important goals to support our breed.<br />
These goals include the development of educational<br />
programs and materials, youth development,<br />
and research related to the <strong>Suffolk</strong><br />
breed and the US sheep industry. An added<br />
bonus to the foundation is contributions are<br />
tax-deductible.<br />
PAGE 8<br />
Bill Royer, past board member, and USSA<br />
treasurer has provided visionary leadership to<br />
establish the foundation and is serving as the<br />
president. Bill says, “I am excited about the<br />
possibilities to grow our breed with the support<br />
of the foundation.”<br />
Tom Burke is serving on the foundation<br />
board and brings his expertise from working<br />
with the Angus Foundation that has been<br />
extremely successful. Tom says, “The foundation<br />
has tremendous potential for elevating the<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> breed.”<br />
The board has discussed two areas that it<br />
hopes to fund in the coming year. One area is<br />
to provide some seed funding for young people<br />
who want to be in the <strong>Suffolk</strong> business. This<br />
need was identified at the USSA Annual<br />
Meeting as members voiced concern about the<br />
financial barriers to getting started in the sheep<br />
industry. The board also hopes to fund a new<br />
scholarship.<br />
To get the ball rolling on these efforts we<br />
need to secure contributions from USSA members<br />
as well as former members who have a<br />
passion for the <strong>Suffolk</strong> breed. Funds donated<br />
may be “restricted” where they are used as the<br />
donor directs or may be “unrestricted” where<br />
the board directs how the funds will be allocated.<br />
There are many ways to contribute. You<br />
are encouraged to reach out to Amanda Everts<br />
or any board member to discuss how you might<br />
support the foundation. A special fundraiser is<br />
being planned for the <strong>2020</strong> USSA Annual<br />
Meeting. It will be an exciting time!<br />
Please refer to the fact sheet on the next<br />
page for more information about the foundation.<br />
In addition to Bill Royer and Tom Burke,<br />
other board members are Amanda Dobson, Bill<br />
MacCauley, John Peck, Brenda Reau, and<br />
Wayne Skartvedt.<br />

Hello!<br />
I am Alison Knutson, the 2019-<strong>2020</strong> National Junior Association President. My family’s flock consists<br />
of 120 registered <strong>Suffolk</strong> and Rambouillet ewes. I am an Agricultural Education student at South<br />
Dakota State University and look forward to teaching in South Dakota upon graduating May of <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
This year is definitely one of transition. Our board has had a lot of growth this year with 5 new<br />
interns and a new coordinator! I am very excited to see what our new members can accomplish. As<br />
you will see on our next page we have big plans for the future. If you are interested in being a part of<br />
the board we would love to have you!<br />
Thank you to all that have supported our junior association throughout the years, especially<br />
through our transition to joining the All-American show. Our show may be changing but I hope some<br />
things never do the fun, support and love of showing <strong>Suffolk</strong>s! With that being said, if you have any<br />
questions or suggestions for the future we want to hear them.<br />
Our <strong>2020</strong> show will once again be a part of the All-American show July 2-5 in East Lansing,<br />
Michigan. I look forward to seeing you all at our National Junior <strong>Suffolk</strong> Show and the many other<br />
local, state, regional and national shows in the coming year. Please feel free to contact me at<br />
alison.knutson@jacks.sdstate.edu or 605-660-9881!<br />

September 1, 2019. Ewe lambs will compete<br />
in their specific age divisions.<br />
2. Nomination fee is $25.00 per head<br />
payable to the United <strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep<br />
Association. Breeders may nominate all of<br />
their ewe lamb consignments during the<br />
<strong>2020</strong> sale season for a flat fee of $250. Ewe<br />
lambs must be nominated and designated<br />
prior to leaving the show ring of their class at<br />
a futurity sale. Payment of nomination fee is<br />
to be made prior to the sale of the ewe<br />
lambs or, for consignment sales, the nomination<br />
fee can be deducted from the consignor’s<br />
check (done by sale management).<br />
Breeders wanting to take advantage of the<br />
group rate must make the USSA aware of<br />
their intention before the first sale at which<br />
they intend to sell futurity lambs. For all ewe<br />
lambs nominated, the consignor will be<br />
billed for the nomination even if the lamb is<br />
not purchased by a junior.<br />
3. Each ewe lamb must bear the proper<br />
identification corresponding to the registration<br />
certificate. The official identifying tag for<br />
each lamb is the lamb’s scrapie tag or flock<br />
tag. The scrapie tag or flock tag number<br />
must be recorded prior to selling and either<br />
(1) submitted to the USSA Office or (2) must<br />
be recorded by a USSA Board of Directors<br />

b. Organized Production Sales. An individual<br />
who desires to nominate ewe lambs<br />
sold in their production sale must submit<br />
their information to the USSA office prior to<br />

USSA Futurity. In order for lambs to be eligible,<br />
the consignor/seller must submit a list of<br />
the sheep with each animal’s respective<br />
scrapie tag number, which are being nominated<br />

must provide complete information for the<br />
buyer of the ewe lamb(s). For production<br />

to the consignor.<br />

who would like to nominate ewe<br />
lambs through an organized internet sale,<br />

respective scrapie tag number, which<br />

information for the buyer of the ewe lamb(s).<br />

paid to the winner of each district. Premium<br />
payout will be based on participation. The<br />

DNA Testing<br />
PaGE 32<br />
With recent advancements in genetic technologies,<br />
selection of your next flock additions<br />
can involve much more than simple phenotypic<br />
appraisals. DNA testing can now allow determination<br />
of genotype directly from an easy-to-take<br />
sample. DNA testing may one day allow selection<br />
for carcass traits, such as muscling and tenderness,<br />
feed efficiency, out of season breeding<br />
and disease and parasite resistance. Already<br />
today, two disorders and diseases that in the<br />
past two decades have been detrimental to the<br />
sheep industry are now being controlled and<br />
even eliminated thanks to DNA testing. These<br />
disorders are Scrapie and Spider Syndrome.<br />
Scrapie is a fatal degenerative disease that<br />
affects the central nervous system in sheep and<br />
can be passed from sheep to sheep. Positive<br />
diagnosis of scrapie can result in a flock being<br />
quarantined and animals destroyed. Fortunately,<br />
sheep can have genetic resistance to scrapie<br />
that can be detected with a simple and inexpensive<br />
DNA test. By using DNA testing it is possible<br />
and practical for a breeder to select for and<br />
breed resistant animals. Buyers can also be<br />
assured that they are buying resistant sheep.<br />
Spider syndrome is a genetic disorder that<br />
causes bent legs, a twisted spine, nose and/or<br />
rib cage. Animals that have this disorder are economic<br />
liabilities to the producer. A DNA test is<br />
also available to determine if a sheep is a carrier<br />
of this genetic mutation.<br />
HOw dO I dna TEST?<br />
DNA testing is performed by a laboratory and<br />
only requires a sheep owner to submit a sample.<br />
Since DNA is found in every cell in a sheep's<br />
body (except red blood cells), DNA can be isolated<br />
and tested from a variety of sample types.<br />
For sheep DNA testing, the most commonly<br />
used sampling methods are blood tubes (there is<br />
plenty of DNA in white blood cells), blood cards<br />
and ear tag tissue samplers.<br />
Blood tube collection requires the most<br />
expertise, since blood must be obtained from a<br />
vein or artery, and many producers utilize a veterinarian<br />
to collect samples in blood tubes. DNA<br />
tests require that blood be collected in purple top<br />
tubes, which contain an agent (EDTA) that prevents<br />
the blood from clotting. It is more difficult,<br />
but not impossible, to get a good DNA sample<br />
from clotted blood. Blood tube samples should<br />
be kept cold and shipped to the lab soon after<br />
collection.<br />
Blood cards are easier for most users who<br />
want to collect samples themselves, although it<br />
is very important to take a good sample to avoid<br />
problems at the lab. A small cut or nick is made,<br />
most commonly in the ear, and a few drops of<br />
blood collected on the card. Some types of blood<br />
cards require that the sample be allowed to air<br />
dry thoroughly. Blood cards can be kept for a<br />

long period after collection and can be sent to<br />
the lab via regular mail.<br />
Ear tag samplers may be the simplest of all<br />
to use and take a small punch of tissue from the<br />
ear using an applicator very similar to an ear tagger.<br />
Some of the ear tag samplers leave a tag in<br />
the ear, others do not. The container into which<br />
the sample is collected contains a drying agent<br />
that allows the sample to be stored at room temperature<br />
for long periods without damage.<br />
Both blood cards and ear tag samplers allow<br />
the user to sample at one time and submit the<br />
samples later. For example, a sample may be<br />
taken when the lamb is first born and tagged, but<br />
the sample need not be submitted for testing<br />
until it is determined if the lamb will be kept in the<br />
flock.<br />
Hair samples can also be tested, however,<br />
the hair must be pulled and not cut, since most<br />
of the DNA in hair is in the follicle. Any tissue<br />
sample can also be tested. It is best to freeze a<br />
tissue sample and submit it frozen.<br />
HOw dOES dna TESTInG wORK?<br />
First a little background. DNA is the genetic<br />
material of all higher organisms. It is the blueprint<br />
for making and maintaining the animal and<br />
consists of a long string of subunits linked<br />
together – imagine beads on a wire. In the case<br />
of sheep and humans, there are about 3 billion<br />
beads (actually nucleotides). The 3 billion<br />
nucleotides are in several different strings, which<br />
are organized in chromosomes. There are 54<br />
chromosomes in sheep (humans have 46).<br />
These are actually 27 pairs of chromosomes.<br />
One chromosome of each pair comes from the<br />
mother and one from the father.<br />
Along each chromosome are sequences of<br />
nucleotides that comprise genes. Genes are<br />
stretches of DNA that code for proteins, the<br />
building blocks and workhorses of all animals. It<br />
can be that changing a single nucleotide in a<br />
protein can change the function of that protein.<br />
In the cases of scrapie susceptibility and spider<br />
syndrome such changes have occurred in two<br />
sheep genes. (The prion protein gene in the<br />
case of scrapie and a fibroblast growth factor<br />
receptor gene in the case of spider.) DNA testing<br />
detects these single nucleotide changes.<br />
DNA testing, especially testing for scrapie<br />
susceptibility, is sometimes referred to as “codon<br />
testing.” A codon is a subunit of a gene, actually<br />
3 nucleotides that code for a single amino acid<br />
(amino acids are the subunits of proteins – proteins<br />
can also be thought of as beads on a wire,<br />
but this time the beads are amino acids). For<br />
example, the prion protein gene consists of 256<br />
codons, which means that the protein contains<br />
256 amino acids.<br />
Scrapie susceptibility is affected by a few<br />
amino acids, the most important of which is<br />
coded for by codon 171, although codon 136,<br />
154 and 141 also have some effect. Codon 171<br />
codes either for the amino acid glutamine, which<br />
in the single letter amino acid dictionary is abbreviated<br />
as “Q”, or for arginine, abbreviated as “R”.<br />
Thus, sheep may be referred to by their codon<br />
171 genotype as QQ, QR or RR. Remember,<br />
sheep carry two copies of the prion protein gene<br />
(one from mother, one from father) and, therefore,<br />
the genotype must have two letters.<br />
To determine the sheep's genotype, a laboratory<br />
will isolate DNA from the sample submitted<br />
and, by any of a variety of methods, determine<br />
the codon 171 genotype. This sounds simple,<br />
but the difference between Q and R is a single<br />
nucleotide – one out of 3 billion. The fact that<br />
<strong>2020</strong> SUFFOLK dIRECTORy
this genotyping can be so easily and economically<br />
accomplished is really quite remarkable.<br />

The results of DNA tests can be used to<br />
guide selection of replacements and help make<br />
breeding and purchase decisions.<br />
Results for scrapie susceptibility (codon 171)<br />
will say that the sheep is QQ, QR or RR. The<br />
very good news is that both QR and RR sheep<br />
are resistant to scrapie. In other words, resistance<br />
is dominant and “R” can also be thought of<br />
as standing for “Resistant.” Therefore, an RR<br />
ram or ewe will only produce resistant (QR or<br />
RR) offspring. When mated to an RR sheep, all<br />
the offspring will be RR, when mated to a QQ<br />
sheep, all the offspring will be QR and when<br />
mated to a QR sheep, half the offspring will be<br />
RR and half will be QR.<br />
It should probably be noted that the codon<br />
136 genotype is sometimes important. Sheep<br />
prion protein genes will be either “A” (alanine) or<br />
“V” (valine) and, therefore, sheep will be either<br />
AA, AV or VV. Both VV and AV sheep are susceptible<br />
to scrapie. Again, there is good news.<br />
“R” and “A” are linked, such that if the gene is “R”<br />
at codon 171, it will be “A” at codon 136.<br />
Therefore, all RR sheep are AA and completely<br />
resistant. QR sheep can be AV, which could<br />
make them susceptible. It may, therefore, be a<br />
good idea to test QR sheep at codon 136.<br />
However, once you find that a sheep is AA, you<br />
never need to test its offspring at codon 136 if<br />
you only breed it to other AA sheep. The offspring<br />
of RR by RR crosses never need to be<br />
tested.<br />
SPIdER SyndROmE<br />
Spider syndrome is a recessive genetic condition<br />
that is widely considered to have originated<br />
in <strong>Suffolk</strong> sheep. Although sheep with two<br />
copies of the “spider” gene are severely<br />
deformed and rarely live to maturity, however,<br />
sheep with a single copy of the gene have<br />
increased bone growth that generally makes<br />
them larger and taller than an otherwise genetically<br />
identical sheep without the “spider” gene.<br />
The results of a DNA test for Spider<br />
Syndrome will be NN (non-carrier), NS (carrier)<br />
or SS (possess Spider Syndrome, most commonly<br />
known as a spider lamb). “N” and “S” do<br />
not, in the case of Spider Syndrome, stand for<br />
the names of amino acids, but rather mean<br />
“Normal” or “Spider” An NN individual does not<br />
carry the “spider” gene and will never pass it to<br />
its offspring. An NS individual can pass the gene<br />
onto its offspring, but when mated to a NN individual<br />
will never produce a spider lamb. An SS<br />
individual is a spider and probably will never<br />
carry a lamb to term. But in the unlikely case that<br />
this occurs, when bred to a NN individual the offspring<br />
will all be carriers. When bred to an NS<br />
SUFFOLKS<br />
SET THE<br />
STANDARD<br />
individual 50 percent of the offspring will be carriers<br />
and 50 percent will be spider lambs.<br />
Crossing two NS sheep will, on average, produce<br />
25% normal (NN) lambs, 50% carrier (NS)<br />
lambs, and 25% spider (SS) lambs.<br />
SUFFOLKS and dna TESTInG<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong>s have definitely been the “Breed in<br />
the Lead” when it comes to DNA testing and<br />
have widely adopted DNA testing to manage<br />
both scrapie susceptibility and Spider Syndrome.<br />
Several breeds at many sales now<br />
require that sellers guarantee the codon 171 and<br />
spider genotypes of their sheep, a practice originated<br />
by the USSA.<br />
a CaUTIOnaRy nOTE<br />
The laboratories that do DNA testing are very<br />
good and mistakes are very rare. Breeders are<br />
generally very good sample takers and mistakes<br />
are very rare. However, humans are involved<br />
and mistakes are made. There are sad stories of<br />
people paying lots of money for their RR stud<br />
ram, using him on a large group of their top ewes<br />
and then finding QQ lambs among the offspring.<br />
(Remember, it is not possible to get QQ lambs<br />
when even one parent is RR.) The take home<br />
lesson is that sometimes the expense of an extra<br />
DNA test is very inexpensive insurance.<br />
USSA Board<br />
Adopts <strong>Suffolk</strong><br />
Genetic Recovery<br />
Program<br />
The United <strong>Suffolk</strong> Board on its retreat during<br />
the spring of 2015 proposed a goal of<br />
establishing a <strong>Suffolk</strong> genetic recovery program<br />
under the Breed Improvement Plan. It<br />
became apparent to the board that a number of<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> breeders had not registered their<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong>s for many years. These sheep were not<br />
eligible for the percentage registration program<br />
even though they were of <strong>Suffolk</strong> origins.<br />
The board decided to explore the ramifications<br />
of allowing these breeders to register<br />
their sheep by appointing a committee to further<br />
investigate the issue. The board adopted a<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> genetic recovery proposal after much<br />
research and numerous meetings. The parameters<br />
of the program are as follows.<br />
Eligibility for <strong>Suffolk</strong> GAP Registrations:<br />
1. Must be a member in good standing of<br />
the USSA or UJSSA.<br />
2. Certify to the best of your knowledge that<br />
the sheep being considered for GAP are of<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> descent by signing the application for<br />
registration.<br />
3. Offspring of these ewes are only eligible<br />
for registration if sired by a registered (fullblood)<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> ram.<br />
Instructions for GAP Registrations:<br />
• Own one or more blackface ewes that are<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> in their phenotype.<br />
• Papers have not been maintained on<br />
these ewes for generations.<br />
• Records have been maintained on the<br />
ewes and you are confident that they are<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> in their genetic makeup.<br />
• Fill out a background questionnaire on the<br />
sheep being preposed for registration.<br />
• An inspection, either physically or photographically,<br />
will validate their phenotype and<br />
determine their eligibility for registration.<br />
• Physical inspection will be by a USSA<br />
director or designee of the USSA Board.<br />
• Two photos per ewe will be required<br />
- One picture of the animal’s head<br />
(front view)<br />
- One picture of the animal’s profile<br />
(side view)<br />
- Photos should be of reasonable<br />
quality and clear<br />
• Once the ewes have been approved for<br />
registration, complete an application for <strong>Suffolk</strong><br />
GAP registration.<br />
If you are interested, contact the USSA<br />
office. The program is for two years only and<br />
will be terminated December 31, <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

MINT GOLD RANCH<br />
Good ewes look the part with or without working clothes!<br />
The ewe is “2018,” who is pictured<br />
as a lamb in the year 2012. She<br />
has had a major influence in our<br />
flock as we have kept all of her<br />
daughters. Including her ewe lamb<br />
year, she has had 8 lambings and 16<br />
lambs. She has never lost a lamb!<br />
Much of that is due to her excellent<br />
udder, with excellent attachment and<br />
small teats for easy lamb nursing.<br />
When we scanned her as a lamb she<br />
was 121 lbs. Her loin eye was 4.12 in 2<br />
(adj. to 135 lbs.), 0.20 backfat, 1.54 in.<br />
loin eye depth. She is nursing twin<br />
ram lambs currently.<br />

“2018” is just one of several<br />
outstanding ewes in our flock.<br />
We will have an excellent set of<br />
ram lambs for <strong>2020</strong> customers<br />
to pick from. Pictured is a<br />
sample of last year’s ram lambs,<br />
and we expect this year’s crop<br />
to be equal in quality, having<br />
used some top notch rams,<br />
including the top loin eye ram<br />
as ranked by NSIP.<br />
We will be consigning to the Center of the<br />
Nation Sale, Spencer, Iowa on July 25th.<br />
We can arrange for transportation to most parts of the country.<br />
We can provide starter flocks of ewes and rams for a kick start for those new to NSIP<br />

The name of this organization shall be the United<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep Association (USSA).<br />
ARTICLE II. PURPOSE.<br />
The United <strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep Association is a nonprofit<br />
organization, without capital stock, whose<br />
purpose is to foster, promote and develop the<br />
<strong>Suffolk</strong> breed of sheep in particular, and the sheep<br />
industry in general. It shall keep records of all<br />
sheep recorded in or by the Association, issue official<br />
papers covering the same and perform any<br />
and all functions connected with the registration of<br />
sheep. Such records shall be permanent in character<br />
and at the disposition of the members or contractors<br />
of the Association. The Association shall<br />
receive and disburse the finances of the organization.<br />
ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP.<br />
Section 1. General Qualifications. Any owner<br />
and registrant of <strong>Suffolk</strong> or percentage <strong>Suffolk</strong> in<br />
the United <strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep Association may become<br />
a member; provided that each owner and registrant<br />
shall be represented by but one membership<br />
whether such owner and registrant are an individual,<br />
partnership, corporation, association or other<br />
entity. To be a member in good standing for purposes<br />
of voting in Association elections, a member<br />
must: (1) have paid dues for the current year, (2)<br />
have no outstanding financial obligation to the<br />
Association more than sixty (60) days past due, (3)<br />
currently own <strong>Suffolk</strong> sheep and (4) have registered<br />
sheep in the United <strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep<br />
Association within the last fiscal year. Individuals<br />
wishing to become Associate members of the<br />
Association may do so simply by paying annual<br />
dues. Associate members cannot vote in<br />
Association elections.<br />
Section 2. Junior Membership. The Board of<br />
Directors shall have the authority to establish a<br />
separate membership class for junior members<br />
with such limitations and qualifications as the<br />
Board shall establish from time to time; provided,<br />
however the such junior member shall have no voting<br />
rights. Details on Junior Membership are<br />
described in the United <strong>Suffolk</strong> Sheep Association<br />
Junior Membership Bylaws.<br />
Section 3. Members that are not individuals.<br />
Any member that is a partnership, corporation,<br />
Association, or other entity (i.e. not an individual<br />
person) shall designate in writing to the<br />
Association the name of the individual who is<br />
authorized to sign and vote on behalf of the member.<br />
Section 4. Voting Rights. Each member of the<br />
Association in good standing, other than Junior<br />
members, shall be entitled to one vote on each<br />
matter submitted to a vote of the membership. A<br />
member may vote either in person or by proxy<br />
appointed in writing by the member or his duly<br />
authorized attorney-in-fact. An appointed proxy<br />
must be a member of the Association. No proxy<br />
shall be valid after 90 days from the date of its executing,<br />
unless otherwise provided in the proxy.<br />
Section 5. Membership dues and service fees.<br />
The Board of Directors may determine from time to<br />
time the amount of annual membership dues and<br />
the amount of fees for services that shall be<br />
payable to the Association. The Board of Directors<br />
may also establish the time or times at which membership<br />
dues and service fees are due and<br />
payable, and procedures for dealing with members<br />
and others in default of payment. If a person or<br />
organization is in default of annual membership<br />
payment, all registration and associated fees will<br />
be billed at non-member rates until annual dues<br />
are paid. Other unpaid fees may result in the<br />
Association’s refusal to register any sheep for that<br />
person until all fees are paid in full.<br />
Section 6. Withdrawals. Any member may withdraw<br />
from membership in the Association by giving<br />
written notice of intent to withdraw to the<br />
Association at its principal office. Upon receipt of<br />
any such notice, the membership of such member<br />
shall terminate; provided, however, that after a<br />
complaint has been initiated against a member, the<br />
right of such member to withdraw from membership<br />
shall be suspended until the termination of all<br />
proceedings in connection with such complaint,<br />
unless the Executive Committee or the Board of<br />
Directors otherwise approves.<br />
ARTICLE IV. MEETINGS OF THE<br />

of these Bylaws, or of any law, a waiver thereof in<br />
writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to<br />
such notice whether before, at, or after the time<br />
stated therein, shall be deemed the equivalent to<br />

be done, any and all things for and on behalf of the<br />

prior two calendar years. The Secretary shall<br />
ascertain the qualification of the candidate prior to<br />
placing their name on the ballot and shall report<br />
any unqualified candidates to the President.<br />
Directors must continue to register sheep in each<br />

with the Association each year. The Directors<br />
may from time to time move one or more states to<br />
contiguous districts to equalize the numbers of registrations<br />
in each district.<br />

a member of the Board of Directors from succeeding<br />
himself or herself, except that no person<br />
shall consecutively serve more than two three-year<br />

terms, a member would again be eligible for<br />
election to the Board of Directors at the first election<br />
following the end of the most recent term<br />

members of the election results.<br />
