North American Romney Association is an association for registering and promoting your purebred Romney Sheep.
Established in 2009, our association is member driven. Emphasis is on promotion and recognition of the dual traits of the Romney breed of sheep; those traits being the production of high quality lambs for market and high value fleeces.
We also are registering sheep and keeping on file records of registrations, transfers and importation of live sheep, semen or ova of the Romney breed.
Last, but not least, we want to aggressively promote and assist both our active and junior members, breeders and exhibitors in North America and beyond.
Message from the President: 8/16/2011
Greetings from the Pacific Northwest….
Romneys rocked Reno! The show and sale was a great success. Repeat and new buyers were there and acquired some top quality animals. Plan on making a trip or connect with the breeders next year to obtain your next stud ram or show ewe. The best of the west were there and will be again. Several junior exhibitors took advantage of the $25 credit for purchasing a Romney ewe. We wish them the best in the summer shows and with their breeding projects.
It is just about time to put together your breeding program for the next crop of spring lambs. I always find that an interesting and hopeful challenge. The perfect mating to get that perfect Romney! Perfect? You never know! If you are working on fall lambs….it is just around the corner. It was a great season for many with lamb prices up. I know at JTS Sheep Company it was fantastic! We had a record lamb crop and my first thought was “I need to market all these lambs!” The time was right and so were the prices.
Plans are in the making for our next annual meeting at the Black Sheep Gathering in 2012! Plan on coming and be a part of the future of NARA.
My best to everyone and my “door” is always open to you!
