How Do I Start Recording?

It is easy to start recording your flock:

• Contact Signet for an application form and contract either by email or by calling 0247 647 8829
• Obtain a copy of the Sheepbreeder fees and complete the contract based on the number of ewes in your flock
• Return your contract to Signet and we will send you the relevant paperwork to collect details of the stock rams and ewes in the flock.

For each breeding ewe and ram Signet needs to know their identity (ear number), sex, date of birth (year of birth if not known), breed, sire identity and dam identity.

Flocks that are joining later in the year should also submit lambing information for lambs that have already been born and eight week weights for these lambs.
