Height photo requirement goes into effect on January 1, 2026.
Any sheep being initially
registered, or transferred, that was born in
2025, or later, will require a height photo if it is between the ages
of 1 and 4 years old. This is in addition to the ear tag photo. Both
can be combined in a single photo if you can meet the requirements for
the height photos and the
head shot / ear tag photo.
We must
be able to clearly see the entire sheep and your measuring setup. In
the photo we need to see the sheep standing on level ground with the
horizontal and vertical yardsticks or your measuring tools in place. If
necessary, more than one photo can be submitted but it must be clear it
is the same sheep in all the photos.
The
sheep's official height measurement is taken at the withers with the
horizontal measuring tool at skin level. Push it down if the sheep is
not sheared. (Withers is the highest ridge of the spine between the
shoulder blades.)
We need
to be able to see the sheep is over 18" and under 24" on your actual
measuring tool.
Transfer
requirement goes into effect on January 1, 2027
*owner = a sheep's Certificate of Registry (CoR) lists the owner of the sheep. It is either the owner listed on the front; OR, the last person the sheep was transferred to, listed on the back of the CoR the NABSSAR registrar has signed off on. A transfer of a sheep making a person an owner is only valid if the Approved by and the Approved date lines have been filled in by our registrar and the NABSSAR's official records reflect the transfer.
NABSSAR members will have until
the end of 2026 to ensure all of their Babydolls are transferred
into their name(s) making themselves the *owners at
the current transfer price of $5.50.
Effective January 1, 2027, sheep not transferred within 90 days of the date of sale, the cost of the transfer will be $25.00, per transfer, per sheep.
