Membership
Membership has its privileges! ADSBS members enjoy reduced fees, a quarterly magazine, free listing on this Web site, an annual member’s meeting and banquet, and participation in the running of the organization. Educational events are held at least annually, covering topics including flock health, government regulations, nutrition, showing and fitting, and Dorper breed standards.
Registering your sheep with the ADSBS entitles you to participate in shows and sales held by the ADSBS and local affiliated organizations. The fees collected by the registry cover national promotion of the breed as well as the member benefits listed above.
