The USSA still has Let’s Grow Grant funds available to enter NSIP data for members. Here’s quick note if you have data you would like to have submitted through the USSA.
For the NSIP Center of the Nation Sale as well as the Eastern NSIP Sale – Entries for both of these sales have been bumped up from previous years and are now due June 15th.
For those we have not yet submitted data and wish to sell at these sales, it’s highly suggested that birth through weaning information is submitted. If you are able to get post-weaning information, even better.
Data can still be submitted after June 1st, however the data may not be back in time before the entry deadlines and might miss the sale catalog.
Due to logistics, any data you would like to have submitted to through the USSA for the June 1st run should be emailed to [email protected] by [ … ]
The USSA Photo Contest is open to any who has photos of Suffolk sheep. Photo submission deadline is June 1, 2018. Photographs entered in the contest will be judged on clarity, content, composition and appeal. More than $1,000 will be awarded between 9 categories.

YEARLING EWE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Please note that the yearling ewe does not have to be nominated as a ewe lamb the previous year to be eligible.
Any purchased yearling ewe is eligible to participate in the USSA Yearling Ewe Futurity.
Yearling Ewe Nomination Procedures
If the yearling ewe was futurity nominated as a ewe lamb, the ewe automatically is nominated as a yearling.
If the yearling ewe was not previously nominated as a ewe lamb, it is the junior exhibitor’s responsibility to nominate the yearling ewe. The cost to nominate the yearling ewe is $25.
Ewe lambs sold at the NAILE Suffolk Sale can be nominated for eligibility in the Yearling Ewe Futurity.
Yearling ewes must be nominated by July 1, 2018.
Yearling ewes are to be registered in the INDIVIDUAL NAME ONLY. No partnerships, farm, family, 4-H Club or FFA Chapter names accepted in the futurity program.
The junior exhibitor of a futurity yearling ewe may not [ … ]

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 [ … ]
