JUNIOR REGIONAL SUFFOLK SHOWS
LOOKING TO DOWNSIZE OR DISPERSE YOUR SUFFOLK FLOCK? Contact the USSA Office to see howwe can help! There are numerous ways that we can help to spread the word about the Suffolks you have for sale. We encourage breeders to contact the USSA Office -DO NOT HES- ITATE! We are here to assist you in finding a new home for your Suffolks! There are several free options and some at a minimal charge. Testimonial from a member: In 1976 I bought 3 Suffolk bred ewes from Joe Young at Ocean State Suffolks and have spent 45 years breeding, showing, and upgrading our flock. My 3 kids showed Suffolks for many years and then moved on with their lives as a Marketing Director, an Architect, and a Surgeon. I have continued breeding and showing Suffolks by myself for 30+ years with the help of many. Now as I am turning 80, it became obvious our Suffolks were getting big and hard to handle. In our area there are very few young adults and kids willing to put in the hard work this project requires on a daily basis. Knowing I needed to sell my flock, I called friends and put out the work locally without much success. Someone suggested calling the USSA which I did. Amanda was immediately helpful offering information on some recent dispersals. She offered to put out an ad on USSA Facebook market page. Immediately, I had responses to buy indi- vidual animals but I really wanted the flock to go as a complete package. We changed the ad. Within an hour, I had a call from a family in an adjacent state, worked out the details and sold the flock. They were picked up the following Saturday. I can’t tell you howwonderful Amanda was in assisting me with advice and the Facebook ad. She couldn’t have been more helpful!! We are very fortunate to have Amanda as our Secretary!!! Gordon W.
