Registering your Lonks
Becoming a member of the Lonk Sheep Breeder’s Association offers significant benefits for both breeders and the preservation of this historic breed.
As a member, you gain the ability to officially register your sheep, ensuring their pedigree and enhancing their value.
Registered Lonk sheep can be sold at the prestigious society sales and they can provide access to a wider market of enthusiasts and farmers seeking quality livestock.
By joining the association, you also contribute to the conservation of the Lonk breed.
You will help to protect its unique genetic heritage and support the survival of one of Britain’s oldest and hardiest native breeds.
Registration of Lonk sheep is done by an officially elected panel.
It is represented with the Lonk Sheep Breeder’s official ‘horn burn’:
- Females can be registered as Lambs or Shearlings. If your females have been registered as lambs they do not need to be re-registered or re-inspected as Shearlings
- Tups can be registered as Lambs or Shearlings. If your tups are registered as lambs they must be re-registered & inspected again as shearlings
- All sheep must be registered in the hands of the breeder
To get your sheep registered, contact the Secretary who will inform you of the upcoming ‘registration window’ and contact details of the Registrars.
