Do you have purebred Coopworth
sheep that
are not currently registered?
If you would like to register them, it may be possible by using
the
Open Registry Program
Application(s) for Registration may be
made to the Open Registry Committee if -
- Your ewe/ram was previously registered
with the Coopworth Sheep Society of North America (CSSNA);
- Your ewe/ram is a result of an artificial
insemination procedure using CSSNZ; CSSAU or CSSNA semen on purebred
Coopworth ewes, or
- Your ewe/ram is descended from either
of the above.
The animal must meet the Coopworth Breed Standard and be identified by
a private identification that corresponds to the animal's eartag/tattoo.
It is expected that the animal be healthy and not exhibit traits
that might be cause for culling. Culling
Guidelines (ACR By-laws Art. XII)
The ACR encourages the registration of purebred Coopworths as
a means of tracking and locating genetic lines. Some older lines
have recently been found and recorded. Some missing links have
been located and pedigrees have been made more complete. This
means that we have a more extensive and accurate record of where
Coopworths are and we can use that information to improve the
breed.
Animals that are accepted for registration through this Program
will be subject to registration fees as follows:
- Rams and Ewes owned by a current member:
$6.00 per animal
- Rams and Ewes owned by a non-member: $12.00
per animal
