What sheep breeds and operations are on BreederHQ?

Wool/fiber breeds (Shetland, Romney, Merino, BFL, Wensleydale, Cormo), meat breeds (Suffolk, Hampshire, Dorper, Katahdin, Texel), dairy breeds (East Friesian, Lacaune, Awassi), heritage and rare breeds, and dual-purpose flocks. NSIP and breed-specific registries are supported.

Can I see NSIP performance data on profiles?

Yes. Sheep breeders enrolled in the National Sheep Improvement Program can publish NSIP EBVs (estimated breeding values) for growth, maternal traits, and fleece quality. This is documented production data, not self-attestation.

What about scrapie certification and biosecurity?

Health Tested badge requires real documentation. Sheep breeders can publish Scrapie Free Flock Certification status, OPP testing, foot rot status, and biosecurity protocols.

Can I find fleece, breeding stock, and lambs?

Yes. Browse for registered ewes, rams, and lambs. Fiber breeders often list fleece sales separately. Use the breed and intent filters to narrow results.
