Pedigree Status of Irish Suffolk Sheep
The breeding program exists to safeguard the preservation, integrity and improvement of the Irish Suffolk Sheep breed by committing to a strict breeding programme, maintaining breed characteristics and using all available technology and information to improve efficiency and profitability of the Irish Sheep Industry.
The Society maintains a register of the particulars of pedigree status and performance of eligible pedigree Irish Suffolk Sheep. The breeding program is strictly adhered to, and genotyping of animals is extensively used to maintain the integrity of the breed and the Flock Book.
