AMENDMENT #2:
6. IMPORTATION
6.1 IMPORTED KATAHDIN SHEEP INTO CANADA AND
CANADIAN RESIDENT
KATAHDIN SHEEP REGISTERED WITH KATAHDIN HAIR
SHEEP INTERNATIONAL
CKSA accredited Inspectors shall be responsible
to ensure that those Katahdins being imported or
those Katahdins that are resident in Canada
seeking to become registered with the Canadian
Registry must meet the standards of eligibility
and qualifications (Bylaw 5.13; 5.14; 5.15) and
shall;
a) have at least an “A” coat;
b) be polled animals (rams with scurs are
acceptable);
c) have no indication of
line-breeding in the first 2 generations on the
required four generation pedigree.
Closeness of
relationships beyond these standards will
disqualify the animal for transfer to the
Canadian registry.
d) have no indication of cross-breeding on the
required four generation pedigree. Inspectors
shall report their findings to the CKSA
Registration Committee. |
