Breeding
Pairs for Spring 2019 lambs
Our
2019 lambs are expected to arrive during March & April.
Reservations
are currently being accepted.
My breeding goal is to produce lambs that:
- Meet the
breed standard.
- Have excellent
conformation.
- Have terrific
personalities.
- Have good mothering
instincts.
- Are parasite resistant.
- Have a coefficient of
inbreeding of ≤ 5.5% for ≤ 10
generations of known ancestry (recommended is ≤ 12.5%).
- Are genotype RR or QR
at codon 171.
When you purchase a lamb/sheep BRED
by me:
- Your lamb/sheep was
raised on a premise enrolled in the
voluntary Scrapie Free Certification Program (SFCP) - Export Category.
- Your lamb/sheep's left
ear will be tagged with a federally approved official
Bergamascos' Babydoll Brigade SFCP Scrapie Tag.
- Your lamb/sheep was
raised in an OPP negative flock.
- Your lamb/sheep's tail
will be docked to a length of 2 to 3
inches.
- Your lamb/sheep's
hooves will be trimmed.
- Your lamb/sheep's
first CD/T vaccination and CD/T booster will
have been administered.
- Your lamb/sheep will
have a coefficient of inbreeding of
≤ 5.5% for ≤ 10 generations of known ancestry
(recommended is
≤ 12.5%).
- Certificate of
Registration
(CoR) for the NABSSAR will be
supplied (excluding unregistered wethers). A CoR for the OEMBSSR will
be provided, if lamb qualifies, for an additional $15.00. If I have not
received the CoRs back from the respective registries before pick-up
day, a copy of the submitted applications will be provided to the buyer
and the CoR will be mailed to buyer at a later date. Please note: This
means the lambs are registered to me as the breeder. The buyers will be
responsible for transferring their sheep into their names with the
registry making them the new owner(s) of the sheep.
- You will receive an
information packet.
- You will receive a bag
of the brand of feed I have been
using.
- You
will be encouraged
to contact me with any questions or
concerns you may have.
