Open Registry Program

HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM

Complete the Dual Purpose Request for Registration Approval (Forms). Check the "Open Registry Program" box at the top of the form and attach the required supporting information.

Please use these color definitions when completing the Form.

W - White fleeced animal with no known natural colored heritage
W/N - White fleeced animal with natural colored heritage
N - Animal with natural colored fleece

For each animal, provide proof of previous registration if available. This might be a copy of CSSNA, CSSNZ or CSSAU paperwork, or a copy of a CSSNA Flock Inventory showing the registration number of the animal. If these are unavailable, a farm pedigree that traces the animal to one of the above may be accepted

For each animal, provide a photograph and a fleece sample with its weight noted. Photos may be sent electronically to the Committee Chair by prior arrangement. Be sure to identify each animal by its ID on the photo. Paper copy photos will be returned if you include a SASE with your application.

If you own a purebred ram or ewe that especially exemplifies the qualities that make up Coopworth sheep but you do not have the pedigree or paperwork to apply for registration as described above, please complete as much of the form as possible. On the back, write about your first-hand knowledge of the animal. In some cases, the ACR is able to help trace lineage and may be able to find information about your sheep.

You should not assume that making an application will result in the registration of the animal. The Committee will review all the information you provide and will inform you of its decision.

If you are selling or buying an animal whose registration is dependent upon acceptance through this program, it is recommended that the review process be completed prior to sale.

If you have questions or need help with your application, contact Martha McGrath, Committee Chair at deerrun@mountain.net or 304-358-2239. Please mail your completed application and attachments to Martha McGrath, HC72 - Box 14D, Franklin, WV 26807.
