Ewe lambs have to be registered in the year that they were born at a fee of £1.50 or €1.70 plus V.A.T @ 17.5% with a closing date for 2010 born lambs of 31st December

It would be helpful if you could register your lambs as early in the year as you can, to spread the load on the Office.

Please note that from now on the individual identification number used for a sheep by the Society and Defra (or equivalent) MUST be the same.

What is needed to register Lleyn Ewe Lambs?

You can only register ewe lambs that have born from full registered pedigree parents i.e. both male and female. You are advised to keep records of which ewe was mated with each ram although the Society requirements for ewe lamb registration does not demand which specific ram served the ewe but it is necessary to state what rams were used on your ewes when the application for ewe lamb registration is made.

When lambs are born you are advised to record the sex of the lamb, litter size, sire and tag number as this information will be required in the event of registering a ram lamb.

With regard to numbering your lambs (male or female) you should be aware of the current DEFRA tagging regulations and number your lambs accordingly. The Society now insists that the same number be utilised for both DEFRA and Society management purposes to avoid the confusion of having two numbers for the same animal

The Society recommends that you take every care when inserting your ear tags in accordance with the guidelines that has been produced.
