Frequently Asked Questions Can I print a pedigree from the systemmyself? Yes, registrations can be printed as needed after payment is made. Can I still register my sheep the old way and just send my information to the Association? Yes, registration applications can be submitted to the Suffolk Office for processing. Can I see sheep registered to my children or grandchildren? Yes, when the Suffolk Office creates a login for you be sure to communicate the youth membership related to your flock to link access. My neighbor leased a ram fromme, can I give him permission to register lambs? Yes, you can record leases for a particular ram and link it to another Suffolk breeder. You can either record a short time frame of use or you can provide a blanket breeding certificate for a ram(s) that you may manage, for instance your brother or your father. I have no interest in submitting performance data; will I be able to register animals and print registration certificates? No performance data is required to register animals. Do I have to be a member of NSIP (National Sheep Improvement Program) to use this system? No but it will interface with NSIP to pull data forward for breeders using that system. Will performance data/EBVs be printed on the registration certificate? Performance data (weights, adjusted weights, scan measurements and other data) and/or EBVs will not appear on the registration certificate but will be available through the online registration program for viewing. Will I be able to do whole flock reporting on this system? Yes. It is hoped that more breeders will use that option to expand our data base and make our data more accurate.
