Winter's cold seems to fastened its grip on many Finnsheep farms this time of year and yet, the days are getting longer (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) indicating that spring is just a few short months away.
The IFR would like to remind everyone participating in winter/early spring lambing that ewes should be vaccinated approximately four weeks prior to lambing and lambing ewes should be provided with safe, clean, dry and protected areas in which to lamb.
A potential Finnsheep buyer recently asked the IFR the following question regarding its registration papers: Are Certificates of Registration issued to sheep that are not purebred?
The IFR issues Purebred Certificates of Registration only to sheep that meet the requirements for purebred registration. The IFR does issue Certificates of Pedigree to sheep enrolled in specific IFR programs. Certificates of Registration and Certificate of Pedigree are not the same and are very different in appearance from each other. Certificates of Pedigree are offered as a service to members to assist them with keeping accurate breeding and culling records. Please contact the IFR if you need additional clarification; we would be happy to assist you!
The IFR wishes everyone a healthy 2015!
