Penn-Mar Shropshire Club Holds
Annual Meeting, Elects Officers
Performance registry may in
the future be a requisite for
registration of purebred Shrop
shire rams, Bancroft Henderson,
a director of the American
Shropshire Registry Association,
told the Penn-Mar Shropshire
Club at its annual meeting in
Harrisburg
Henderson stressed that the
proposed new ruling was only
in early discussion stages and
the national association was
anxious to know the feelings of
Shropshire breedeis in Pennsyl
vania and Maryland
Requiring all registered lams
to meet Performance Registry
standards would, in the opinion
of Henderson, give the prospec
tive buyer a guaiantee Perfor
mance registry for both lams
and ewes is already possible on
a voluntary basis and many
Shropshire breeders are already
using it. To qualify for perfor
mance registation an animal
must meet high standards in
both daily weight gains and con
formation.
Members of the Penn-Mar
Shropshire Club raised a num
ber of questions about the pro
posal. 'Foremost was the con
cern that ram lambs would not
be old enough to qualify for
Registration before the Key
stone Sale in early July if 120
day weights were to be a qual
ification for registration.
In other business club mem
bers re-elected Warn G. Men
hennett, Cochranville, president;
Harold E. Harpster. Boalsburg,
vice president, Leon Johnston,
Stewartstown. Treasurer, and
Mrs. Warn G Menhennett,secre
tary.

year will include a “loin eye
improvement kit” and a bian
nual buyers guide. The buyeis
guide will list aged rams, yearl
ing and ram lambs, aged ewes,
yearling and ewe lambs plus
price ranges which club mem
bers have 'available for sale by
private contract The buyers
guide will be published in the
late spring and again in the fall
Purebred and commercial
sheepmen who wish to be placed
on the mailing list for receipt of
