Protecting animal health is a priority for all Dorper breeders. Even with confirmed screwworm cases in parts of the states, strict USDA and state regulations are in place to help ensure the safe movement of livestock across state lines.

Before you buy:
✔️ Know your state's import requirements
✔️ Ensure that there is a current Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)
✔️ Inspect animals upon arrival

Don't let misinformation keep you from quality genetics. Stay informed, comply with the requirements, and purchase with confidence.

Helpful websites to track current cases and up-to-date regulations include screwworm.gov and interstatelivestock.com.

2025 Bylaw Amendment - Section 5.2

The 2025 Bylaw Amendment vote is in, and the membership overwhelmingly voted for a change. With 231 votes cast, the amendment to redraw the zones into 4 regions passed by 88.64% (195 for and 25 against).

Current Directors will continue to serve until their elected terms expire. The 2026 Board of Directors Election for 2027 will fill open positions according to the new Bylaw Amendment. To balance this transition, the Board will assign current Directors to regions aligning with their primary residence and stagger positions so that no more than three seats turn over at once.

There will not be any change to the voting process; however, the Board approved that there will be no more than 3 Board members per region with the 4-region structure.  No region may have more than 3 directors. This keeps the Board with 9 sitting members.

The revised Section 5.2 shall take effect upon passage. Again, current Directors shall continue in office until the end of their elected terms, after which future elections will be conducted according to the revised structure.
