Breed Up Program
NADSA’s Breed Up Program is only available to breeds that do not already have a breed specific association available in the United States. Sheep enrolled in the breed up program will have an additional registration number which will be listed BEFORE the animals registered name.
​
Starting the Breed Up Process
The breed(s) chosen for the breed up process must be approved by NADSA’s Executive Board Members at one of the monthly meetings. If you would like to have a particular sheep breed approved by NADSA for the Breed Up Program, submit a request via email to northamericadairysheep@gmail.com
Sheep being used for the NADSA Breed Up Program MUST display the PHYSICAL characteristics to be considered F1 (50%) of chosen breed. Any sheep that do not have known breed percentages, but display the physical breed characteristics will start at F1 status. F1 (50%) sheep will then need to be bred to 100% purebred sheep to produce F2 (75%) sheep. F2 sheep bred to 100% purebred sheep will produce F3 (87.5%) sheep. F3 sheep bred to 100% purebred sheep will produce F4 (93.75%) sheep. F4 sheep bred to 100% purebred sheep will produce F5 (96.875%) sheep.
If at any time a mating during the breed up process produces offspring that do NOT meet the specific breed standard of said breed, the offspring will be labeled F0 and will be registered in the Diversified Dairy registry so that lineage is not lost. F0 sheep may still be used in the Breed Up Program, however their progeny will need to meet the Breed Standard for F1 status to be given. If F0 progeny do not meet the selected Breed Standard, then said progeny will also be labeled F0 and registered in the Diversified Dairy registry.
