Some of the sheep may be lambs of the others, but at this point, the process is the same. All sheep of Non-JSC parents first submit the Certification Application with pictures. Pictures should be of the front, rear, right, and left sides. They should be clear and close, color photos showing details of horns, color and feet. The best situation is a grooming stand or platform.
Some people place their animals on plywood or the bare ground.
Distant photos in a field are not acceptable. These pictures are sent to 3 Certifiers for a visual inspection. Two of three approvals will pass the sheep. The JSC is interested in purebred status only. We do not evaluate conformation or aesthetic aspects of the sheep.
