Codon
171 Status of Rams
Martin Dally made a motion to state that as of October 2002,it is
the responsibility of the importer of Wensleydale semen to submit
a certification to our Association indicating the codon status of
the donor ram. The certificate, which would most likely come from
the country of origin, must show that the ram has tested RR at Codon
171. If a certificate is not filed with the Association, progeny
from such rams will not be recognized in the registry. Neil Kentner
seconded, and the motion carried.
Meeting
Location for 2003
We have developed a pattern of holding our annual meetings in various
locations around the country and Myrtle Dow told the board that
she and Roy could arrange for Wensleydale classes at the Estes Park
Wool Festival in Colorado. This is held in mid-June. Since there
are not many animals available yet for a full show, it was suggested
to group them by sex and age but to show white and colored animals
together. There was also interest in having a ‘best fleece’
class for Wensleydales. Myrtle mentioned that the Festival might
also pay premiums on our classes. The Board agreed to the location
of Estes Park, CO for our 2003 annual meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at
3:21 pm
