[Jacob-list] Certified scrapie free

[southwindfarms at frontiernet.net]

Hi,

In addition to our Jacob sheep we raise some rare goats.  Because of the goats we got involved in the voluntary scrapie program many years ago.  We are certified scrapie free.  I can still bring in rams from anywhere without affecting my status.  However, my employer is considering expanding our Jacob flock.  If I bring in ewes from flocks which are not certified scrapie free it will void our current status.  I am interested in hearing from breeders in the Northeast who are certifed and may have ewes to sell in the future.  We have some building and fencing to do before we are ready for another bunch of ewes.

Also I will be attending the AGM in PA and have some nice four horn rams available.

Sincerely,

Laura Burnside, manager
