If the breed association office cannot act as a collection point for data, then the group of breeders needs to find someone else to do this role. Again, NSIP will facilitate this. The NSIP fee structure is very simple and reasonable. NSIP defines a breeding animal as an adult ewe or a ewe lamb that will be part of the breeding flock or a ram that will be used to sire lambs. On the Enrollment Form , a producer counts all animals, male or female, that were used in breeding during the past year.
Producers enroll only purebred animals with registration numbers.
They also enroll any ewe lambs or ram lambs used for breeding that will be registered but have not yet been assigned registration numbers. The producer would send a check for this amount together with the completed Enrollment Form to the NSIP office. On the Enrollment Form , a producer lists the number of breeding animals and pays the sum of the ewe and flock charges. Breeders pay their NSIP fees directly to the NSIP office . Payments are submitted together with the completed Enrollment Form .
