FROM PRESIDENT RICK ADAMS

Hi. I’m Rick Adams. I have been raising sheep all my life in Illinois. I am married to my wife, Brenda, who is a retired nurse and we have two grown sons. Damian and his wife, Jaimie, have three girls close to home, and Brad and Raquel with three sons in Minnesota. I farm about 1000 acres with my father and raise sheep.

My father had horned Dorsets when I was little and started my flock of Hampshires as a 4-H project when I was 10. The Shropshires were added in 2003 when my son Brad wanted his own sheep for 4-H and FFA. Our flock has grown to total about 250 ewes, 50 Hampshires, 100 Shropshires and 100 commercial ewes.We sell a lot of hothouse lambs, supplying a couple of local slaughter houses and some breeding/show sheep. What started as a 4-H project has grown and evolved

into an important part of my farm’s success. We have always shown our sheep at local fairs and enjoyed doing 4-H with our children and granddaughters and other young people we have gotten to know over the years. We have had a lot of success with the sheep we raise having champions at county and state fairs as well as having Champion Hampshire wether at NAILE and Oklahoma City. I always enjoy working with young shepherds and their projects.

I look forward to helping lead our breed organization into a bright future. If you ever have questions or just want to talk about sheep, I’m always available. 815-228-2903.

Thanks, Rick Adams Shropshires “Your Foundation for Quality”

FROM SECRETARY BECKY PETERSON

Welcome to 2023 and all of its very interesting weather! Hopefully we have all managed to get over its humps and bumps and progress nicely into lambing. All is well here in the office and I have been sorting and cleaning the 15 years of paper and electronic files I have accumulated. 15 years! How can that be? It all started on a trip to Ohio with a friend who told me about Dale Blackburn’s passing and the ASRA’s search for someone to fill his shoes.That is all I could think about for several months until I was able to secure an interview with the search committee in Louisville in November 2007. By that time I was a little afraid of what I might be getting into but I pushed forward with my best self and received a late night phone message that I was the new secretary. Now what was I to do? I dove right in and worked the ring the next day taking photos of the Open Show. I gave my notice at my other job and started preparing an office and gathering supplies. I’ve had my own humps and bumps to get over and have persevered through a 125th Celebration and several developments in programs, processes and policies and maintained a healthy financial basis. Being the Shropshire breed secretary is still all I think about, well almost anyway, and I still enjoy it.

This year will bring its challenges as committees and members seek to develop an acceptable breed standard and DNA profile and ultimately an improved Shropshire sheep that looks like the breed that it is and fills the needs of its breeders. New President Rick Adams has formed several committees and most have already met in January working to making improvements and updates in the areas they are assigned to. We hope this enthusiasm carries throughout the year and we find more ideas that work than don’t work.

The National Sale is back in Greenville, Ohio in 2023, managed by Select Livestock Services. Neal Knapp will sort and set the sale order on May 12. There will be a get to-

gether for the members, consignors and buyers at some point where the new inductees to the Shropshire Hall of Fame as well as the younger Shropshire Royalty and Starter Flock recipients will all be introduced. We anticipate a top weekend for all.The All-American Junior Show will be June 28 – July 2 in Madison, Wis. Shrops will be judged there on Sunday by Skip Anderson. It will be another prime event run by a dedicated committee and much local talent. Plans are in the works for live streaming again so those that can’t make the trip can still feel present.

The email blast service is still offered for your Shropshire-related announcement. Your message will go to over 500 addresses for a flat $100 fee and posted once on the Shropshire Facebook page. Any artwork must be camera-ready.

The income from this service is being used to assist with the Starter Flock funding, another great reason for you to participate.

On a personal note, I am anticipating some more “knee work” this spring and urge folks needing show and sale paperwork not to wait until the last minute to send it in. Please allow for 5-7 days for in office turn-around for work sent with regular fees and whatever is necessary for mailing. Further updates on my schedule will be made as it develops.

Meanwhile, I hope you all have a trouble free lambing season and see some great prospects in your flocks. Feel free to contact me anytime with your questions and comments!

Starter Flock

November 27, 2022 via Zoom

President Rick Adams called the meeting to order at 8 p.m. and introduced the 11 other board members present. In addition there were at least 41 members present and also two approved guest from the Columbia Association.

The meeting materials had been sent earlier via E-mail. Jim Gruenhagen moved to approve the secretary’s report (minutes of last meeting 11/28/21) with a second from Darrell Dockter. Motion passed. Report accepted.

Financial report as of 10/31/22 – Total assets were $65,412.83 including the account balances of $56,326.22. The P&L for the first 10 months showed a net income of $5591.65. Becky made explanations of certain line items. The projected end of year showed a net loss of $970.35. Office statistics showed 1920 registrations (down 225), 980 transfers (down 395), 153 adult membership (down 12), 10 new membership (down 16) and 164 junior memberships (up 9). Bill Bryant moved to accept the financial report with a second from Tom Slutz. Motion passed. Report accepted. Becky noted that the complete 2022 report will be published in the February Voice.

OLD BUSINESS

Committee reports:

Dwarf Gene Policy – Competition Chair

Mike Elsbury tried to give the report but was having technical trouble so Rick Adams gave the summary of the Competition Committee’s recommendation. He stated that the Board approved the recommendation that genotypes must be disclosed at the sales in the 2023 sale season and that ”DD” or “FD” sheep will not be allowed to sell.

The second recommendation from the committee was to start some degree of testing at shows in 2024.The Board had discussed this at their November meeting and decided to postpone a decision until their next meeting in January. Discussion followed. This topic is not covered in the ASRA Bylaws. There

was concern that the membership was not allowed input in these decisions. There was concern that there were already ewes bred for lambs to sell in the 2023 sale season. It was suggested that a survey be sent to the members to help the Board with this dilemma.

Futurity – Caleb Fritz reported that there were 31 ewe lambs and 17 yearling ewes tracked. The Overall and West Ewe Lamb winner was Drake Slutz. The East winner was Brooke Young and the Midwest division was Emily Stevens. The yearling division was won by Haydan Lowrey. Complete results are on the website and a report will be published in the February Voice.

There was discussion about the Ohio Showcase Sale collecting the futurity nomination fees. It probably could happen if all of the ewes had to be nominated.

Junior Activities – Taylor Young reported as the Junior Association President. There was a meeting Nov. 12 in Louisville. Officers and directors were chosen. Taylor will continue as president;Taylor Kemp is vice-president, East Region directors will be Taylor Young and Addisen Nicholson. Midwest Region directors are Miranda Moneyheffer, Avery Vasko and Tahia Ames. Lane Falch,Vivian Stephenson and Taylor Kemp will serve the West Region. Note that these three regions are the same ones utilized for the Futurity.

Taylor stated she has some plans for the coming year to get junior spotlights in the Voice and publish more junior show results. The Starter Flock will run again and the Junior Association will be seeking funding for that once again as well as for the association expenses and other awards. Members are encouraged to submit ideas and material to Taylor.

Bylaw Amendments – Jim Gruenhagen discussed the bylaw amendments. He has been working to insert the previous amendments into the document. The last amendments were done in 2009 and 2014. Some of the language in the present document is a bit behind and “she” needs to be added to some clauses. The official communication method needs to be update to include electronic com-

munication. Also voting and ballot distribution can be allowed by electronic communication. Since these alterations are bylaw changes, they need approval by the membership.

There was discussion regarding the ability to vote on the Zoom platform. Becky described the “polling” method which will immediately show the results and share them with those present. Those members who were calling in on their phones, they should text or email to Rick Adams and the counts will be combined with the poll. Jim Percival moved to accept the bylaw changes as a group as presented. Bill Bryant seconded. Becky launched the poll. Results showed 38 votes of 49 attendees on the poll, all yes; and Rick Adams reported receiving five yes votes by text, making 43 votes for amendments.The vote was unanimous to accept the bylaw changes. When the document has been finalized, it will be posted on the website.

Breed Standards Committee – Jim Gruenhagen had named a Breed Standards Committee of Adam Moore, Danny Rogers, Ashley Fuss, John Nicholson and Rick Whiting. The

purpose is to review the current document and make updates as necessary. There was no discussion.

National Show Statistics – Becky was not present at the show this year but several board members and others stepped up to make sure things ran smoothly.The junior show was judged on 11/13 by Richard Jacobson with 185 head entered. The Champion Ram was the Early Spring Ram for Miranda Moneyheffer. Kassidy Schakel had the Reserve Champion Late Spring Ram Lamb. The Champion Ewe was the Early January Lamb from Jaedyn and Drake Slutz. The Reserve Ewe was the March Ewe Lamb shown by Miranda Moneyheffer. This year banners were awarded to the highest top 10 placing Shropshire Exhibitors in each of the showmanship classes. There were six youngsters that reached this level. There has also been interest in other special awards for junior show reserve champions. This will be discussed in the future. TSC gift cards will be sent to all junior exhibitors at the show. The open show was Nov. 14 with 164 head entered and judged by Bobby Spoonster. Tim and Sarah Fleener showed the Champion Ram out of the Yearling Ram Class. The Reserve was the January Ram from Jordyn Leininger. The Yearling Ewe shown by Jaedyn Slutz was Champion. Brady Clark had the Early January lamb that was reserve. He also won the Flock class and Premier Exhibitor. Congratulations to all and thank you to everyone that helped to make the show a success.

There was a question about the junior association having to raise funds for the Starter Flock Program. It was noted that the Starter Flock was an idea from the juniors and they had been fundraising for it since it began. Rick Adams stated that the board has elected to assist with the Starter Flock funding by using the income from the advertising email blasts, $1100 in 2022. So advertising by an email blast to target Shropshire breeders would be a good way to help this program.

NEW BUSINESS –

National Sale – The Board had two requests for the National Sale in 2023 and decided to go to the Ohio Showcase in May. Bill

ASRA Profit & Loss

January through December 2022

ASRA Balance Sheet

Shropshire Dwarf Gene Poll

After discussion during the Annual Meeting of the Members on Nov. 27, the ASRA Board of Directors elected to poll the members regarding their opinions of the Dwarf gene expressing in Shropshire sheep. Five hundred twenty-two surveys were emailed to the email list and 34 were mailed to those members not providing an email address. The total number of members on the current Voice mailing list is 383. Unofficial preliminary results showed 66 surveys returned as of January 20.

The Board has yet to review and discuss these results but will consider the surveys and the many comments submitted and attempt to find a logical and fair method to deal with the presence of this genetic condition within the breed. Meanwhile, they feel that the members should do all they can to educate themselves about the origin, inheritance and expression of the gene. Members are reminded that consignors must disclose and guarantee genotype of Shropshires offered for sale in any public or online auction offering Futurity nominated ewes in 2023 and no DD or FD will be allowed to sell. There is a very good Webinar presented by Purina available to view at this link: https://youtu.be/0Njrnk7bc7s

National Shropshire Futurity 2023

For the 22nd year,The American Shropshire Registry Association will sponsor a Shropshire Ewe Lamb and Yearling Ewe futurity in 2023. The Futurity will not only enhance the junior members ability to purchase extremely high quality breeding stock but will also make it more beneficial for the breeders to consign their very best animals.

The rules of the Futurity are relatively simple and are outlined below. You can buy a top quality ewe at one of the designated sales that has been nominated for the Futurity, exhibit the ewe at the shows you normally attend and then send in your results on the point record form. A junior can add a top quality female to his or her flock, and possibly win back a sizable premium.

The 2023 designated sales will include the following: Indiana Premier Shropshire Sale, Greenfield, Indiana; Shropshire Showcase,

Greenville, Ohio; Midwest Stud Ram Sale, Sedalia, Missouri and Online Sales (if they meet the conditions listed in the sale nomination rules.) To have a new sale designated as a Futurity Sale, notification must be made in writing to the Board of Directors at least 3 months in advance of the sale.

SALE NOMINATION RULES

1. Entries are open to all ewe lambs born September 1, 2022, thru March 31, 2023, and to all yearling ewes born September 1, 2021, thru May 31, 2022.

2. A nomination fee of $20 is required and payable to The American Shropshire Registry Association. Sale management may deduct nomination fee from sale settlements or consignors will be invoiced from the ASRA office within 30 days after the sale.

Animals will be nominated for that sale only; nomination will not carry over to another sale.

3. Each ewe must be properly identified, according to the registration certificate. Futurity ewes will be recorded by their scrapie tag number and paint branded with an F before entering the sale ring. The flock tag number will also be recorded for identifying purposes

4. Each ewe must conform and abide by the rules and regulations of the individual sale to which it is consigned. All normal entry and commission fees will apply.

5. The American Shropshire Registry Association will not be responsible and shall be held harmless for any disputes and/or disagreements between buyers and sellers.

2023 Starter Flock Program

The Flock Starter Program is a project undertaken by the National Junior Shropshire Sheep Association to award a group of Shropshire ewes to a deserving youngster new to the breed. 2023 will mark the 10th year after 78 applications. To apply, you are required to complete an application and submit an essay to the Shropshire office that should include background information about yourself and your interest in sheep. This document should illustrate your goals and intentions with the animals should you win the award. There should also be a budget and one or more letters of recommendation included.

We ask that you type your essay and submit it by March 15. Please include your mailing address and telephone number. All applicants should be between the ages of 8 and 20. This year the ASRA will choose two recipients, one for a $1000 stipend and a second for a $500 amount. Both winners will be notified by April 1 and will receive credit vouchers from the ASRA to purchase Shropshire ewes of his or her choice at any of the Shropshire sales in 2023. Winners will be introduced during the National Sale dinner at the Ohio Showcase Sale in Greenville, Ohio in May. Application information will be available on www.shropshires.org and from the Shropshire office.

To ensure the success of this program, financial contributions are needed for this worthwhile cause. Please contact Secretary Becky Peterson with your support or inquiries.

Meet your new board members

Charlotte Stephenson

Thank you for electing me to be the representative for Wisconsin & Michigan on the American Shropshire Registry Association Board of Directors. A bit about me for those of you that may not know me personally:

We have been raising Registered Shropshires for the past 17 years in southwest Wisconsin at Sugar Ridge Ranch. Our flock consists of approximately 60 brood ewes. Our focus has been moderately framed sheep with good breed type and we strongly select for growth, muscling and mothering capabilities which has allowed our flock to excel in the showring, as well as in the commercial setting. The flock is managed by myself and my daughter,Vivian, who also serves as the secretary on the Junior Shropshire Association board.

Aside from the sheep, I am a Registered Nurse and I enjoy horseback riding and fishing in my spare time. During my time on the board I hope to promote the breed, welcome new members and aid in making decisions that will better the breed for the future. I will also be a voice to address issues and concerns that are presented to me from my fellow Shropshire breeders. I look forward to serving on the board for the next three years.

Jared Poynter

I live in Maple Park which is located in Northern Illinois. My wife Kara, son, Westin (10), daughter, Faith (9), and I raise around 60 Shropshire ewes on our farm. I am a former high school agriculture teacher and elementary principal. I currently serve my school district as Superintendent of Schools. My 19 years in education have all been in the Hiawatha School District in Kirkland, IL.

I have been around sheep from birth. My father, Jeff Poynter, and late grandfather, Eugene Poynter, raised several different breeds of sheep for many years. I had the privilege to grow up around both of these good shepherds and learn the value of hard work, breeding, care, and management of a livestock farm. I started my love for Shropshires at a young age.

With the many breeds that my family raised I seemed to gravitate to Shropshires as my breed to raise. In my opinion there isn’t a better looking ewe to look at in the pasture that has good structure, muscle and breed type than a Shropshire.

I look forward to serving on the ASRA board and look forward to taking all members’ views and perspectives into consideration when making the best decision possible for the association, the breed, and its members. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. (jaredpoynter@gmail. com).

I look forward to serving your organization.

2022 Shropshire Futurity Report Final

Yearling Ewe

Haydan Lowery won futurity yearling ewe.

Drake Slutz won overall ewe lamb futurity.

Shropshire Scholarship

Each year the ASRA offers two $400 college scholarships to students directly involved with Shropshire sheep and enrolled in an undergraduate program. Students must submit an application, two letters of recommendation and complete transcript by June 1st. Four applications were received last June. One recipient was Emily Stevens of Norwalk, Ohio, whose summary appeared in the October issue. Read on below for the second winner, Luke Raudebaugh of Danville, Ohio.

Luke is the son of David and Tara Raudebaugh and graduated one year early from the Clear Fork High School last spring with a GPA of 2.89. He is now attending Casper College in Wyoming and is studying ag business. Throughout his high school career, he showed a keen interest in livestock judging with the Clear Fork FFA where the team was prominent at the Arizona Nationals and the American Royal. Luke was awarded the FFA Star Greenhand Award and achieved his FFA degree. He was the FFA treasurer for four years. He was an avid soccer player as a defender for 10 years.

His interest in livestock and agriculture was evident in all of his 4-H involvement and his own flock of Shropshires. He has worked hard for his flock’s achievements and had Reserve Supreme Champion Ewe and Top Five in the Supreme Champion Ram at the Ohio State Fair Junior Show last July and also an impressive set of sheep at NAILE in November. Luke enjoys working on his family farm and hunts with friends and family.

Luke writes:

“Over the last five years the Shrop industry has changed my life for the better. This all started in 2017 after receiving the Ohio Starter Flock grant. Since then I have grown my flock to 25 ewes and have attended shows at the county, state and national level. For example, Champion Shrop Ram and Ewe at the Knox County Fair for three consecutive years, Supreme Champion Ewe at the Fall Frenzy LEAD Jackpot Show, Champion and Reserve rams at the Buckeye Livestock Expo, along

with Champion Ram at every LEAD Jackpot Show in 2021. I also had Champion Shrop Ram at the Junior Show and Reserve Champion Shrop Ewe at the Ohio State Fair Open Show in 2021.

One of my proudest achievements would be winning Supreme Champion Ewe at the Keystone International Livestock Expo. I did all of this with sheep that were born and raised at our barn. I take full responsibility of the care and management of the flock. Some of these responsibilities would be making breeding decisions in order to get closer to raising the type of sheep I want to raise as improving the Shrop industry managing a flock also makes keeping numerous records, as well as creating feed rations in order to enhance each animal to its fullest potential. I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this level of success without the wisdom and help of my mentors and the Shrop industry as a whole.

I would also like to thank my family for supporting and pushing me to reach my fullest potential. Thank you for considering me for this scholarship. It will be helpful in achieving my educational goals.”

Two $400 awards are offered again this year. The application and information can be found on Shropshires.org. An application with two or more references and a high school or college transcript must be submitted to the Shropshire office by June 1.

“Hey y’all! I hope this finds everyone well after the holidays and in the heart of our 2023 lambing season. Seems so crazy that its already February! And seems so hard to believe we’re already making plans for our 2023 shows, sales and events. We are incorporating some new opportunities for our junior members this year and you’ll find in this issue that we have also incorporated some new Junior Highlight pages. These will be happening in our Shropshire Voice publications, as well as on our junior Facebook page and maybe in time to be featured on the Shropshire website!

I’m always looking for more new and exciting ways to involve our juniors. Back in November at NAILE, unfortunately Becky wasn’t able to be with all of us – and believe me I think we all can say she was missed –and I know I can say I’m very thankful for all she does within our breed and as our secretary; she truly keeps it all going! We had our junior meeting on Saturday and had 18 exhibitors in attendance for some pizza, show updates and elections of a new junior board.

Myself, along with Taylor Kemp (MO), and Vivian Stephenson (WI) were chosen to serve as president, vice president and secretary again this year and new junior board members elected were Lane Falch (MO), Avery Vasko (OH), Addisen Nicholson (CT), Tahia Ames (OH) and Miranda Moneyheffer (IN). We are happy to have some new board

members helping us out this year and we know they will do great!

We had a great show at NAILE this past year, our youth showed up and showed out with all of their Shropshires – congratulations to everyone on a wonderful end of the year. Look for an email coming to everyone regarding a Zoom call for our juniors in the coming month, and some exciting fundraising opportunities to be involved in! As always, if anyone has any thoughts on events or opportunities, feel free to reach out. As sale season quickly approaches I look forward to seeing everyone this spring and wish you all the best with your lambing season!

“Hello, my name is Riley Windus, I am 13 years old and I am from Lena, Wis. This is my second year showing Shropshires. I am learning under the direction of Kurt, Ann and Pete Steffel. I really have enjoyed learning about the Shropshire breed and how to care for sheep. I look forward to continuing to learn and hope to show at more shows this year.

“I am 10 years old and I live in Stark City, Mo. I attend Tri-way Elementary and get mostly As. I have been showing sheep longer than I can remember. I show Shropshire sheep and also Lincoln Longwool sheep. I like showing Shrops because I get to be active in showing, helping get ready for shows and I really liked being a Shropshire Bo-peep and handing out ribbons. Meeting new people and traveling to new places is also a great experience. My favorite show is the All-American because it moves around and there are so many activities.When I am not showing I live to be involved in volleyball, basketball and choir. “

I have been breeding, raising and showing Shropshires for as long as I remember and have always loved everything from delivering lambs to representing Sugar Ridge Ranch in the showring. We have about 60 brood ewes that we lamb out annually for show lambs, seed stock and custom order butcher lambs. This fall I am going to be attending Viterbo University to major in pre-pharmacy and minor in dance. In the future, I hope to be a pharmacist, continue my dance career and keep expanding my Shropshire flock. ”

“ Hello, my name is Vivian Stephenson and I am the current secretary of the National Junior Shropshire Sheep Association, as well as the district representative for Wisconsin/Michigan. I am from Viroqua, Wis. where I live on my family’s farm.

“My name is Autumn Smiley. I am 14 years old and live in Stark City, Mo. I go to East Newton High School. I am an A student and am active in the East Newton FFA, East Newton 4-H and the McDonald County Split Log 4-H Club. I have been showing sheep with my family since I was 4 or 5. I show Shropshires mostly, but help show Lincolns, too. I like Shropshires because that is what I have grown up with. I like being able to get them show ready and the lambs are always fun. My favorite show is probably the All-American, because it moves around and I have gotten to push myself. Also, seeing old friends from Oregon, where I am originally from, and meeting new people is always fun. When I am not showing sheep, I play guitar, bass, sing, play drums and I am in the school band and of course, I like hanging out with friends.
