Registration Procedures Navajo-Churro sheep may be registered if they conform to the Breed Standards. Sheep are registered On-Site or by Mail-In. Forms available from N-CSA. Effective January 2002, sheep 6 to 18 months of age may be submitted for registration certification IF BOTH PARENTS ARE REGISTERED. Registration of mature sheep at 18 months or older will remain unchanged. On-Site Registration and Inspectors Applicants should provide catch pens and help restrain animals. All forms must be filled out before the inspector arrives. Sheep must have ear tags or tattoos. A picture is required of all rams. The cost of travel/expenses has to be arranged between owner and inspector. Standard fees to N-CSA are listed below. Current inspectors are: Kristy Selman-Lopez, OH; Ingrid Painter, OR; Jim Sache, NM, Connie Taylor, NM; Antonio Manzanares, NM; Johnny Tom, AZ; Joe Benally, AZ; Jim Keyes, UT; Lyle McNeal, UT, John Harper, CA; Stephanie Larson, CA. Mail-In Registration A registration application must be filled out to the best of your knowledge, and photos and a fleece sample from midside should be attached to the back of each application. Note where purchased if breeder is unknown. A short application form is available for A Book and higher sheep. For Mail-In, two photos of every sheep are required (no Polaroid's but good digital photos are acceptable if printed on photo quality paper) - one from the side and in fleece, and one from the rear showing the tail. We also need good photos of ram's horns. Write the sheep ID (name and/or tag number) and date photo was taken on back of each photo. Mail forms to Connie Taylor or Ingrid Painter (addresses below). At least two inspectors will process your sheep. No inspector judges their own sheep line. Transfer of Ownership It is the responsibility of the SELLER to complete the transfer section on the back of the Certificate and send in the Certificate of Registration papers to the N-CSA with $2 per head. Do not change tag numbers or names. Send the Certificate and fees to Registrar, Connie Taylor (address below). She will record the transfer, send the papers to the BUYER and publish the transfer in the Flock Book. Pending or Temporary Certification for Lambs or Show This type of registration is used: 1) when Show Certificates are needed in a hurry; 2) when lambs younger than 6 months old need documents at point of sale; 3) when any sheep needs Appendix status while further information is collected. To be eligible the sheep must be the progeny of registered parents. Send in standard form and fees as per instructions above and indicate SHOW or LAMB CERTIFICATION is needed. A temporary certificate is issued which is viable for one year. When the sheep is mature, send in mature photo, fleece sample and $1 attached to the temporary certificate. An N-CSA Certificate of Registration will be issued if sheep conforms. Sire Certification If you do not own the sire, the ram owner must verify the breeding. We have forms or will accept signed statements. Owner of ewe at time of breeding is considered BREEDER.
