A Word from a Board Member

Ashley Stevens

Cheviot Breeders, I am very pleased to have been elected as one of the Board of Directors for our association. I reside on a small farm in Maryland, which was built upon my great-grandparents two-hundred acre crop and beef cattle operation. I started with sheep when I entered the 4-H program at eight years old. For nine years I raised purebred Suffolks and club lambs. Six years ago, I purchased my first two Cheviots from Chuck and Denise Orr and Tom and Pat Derk at the Keystone International Livestock Expo. From that year on I could not stay away from the Cheviot breed. Over the next two years I phased out my Suffolk flock and now have a small Cheviot flock. I served as the President of the Junior Association for two years, and also as the National Cheviot Queen in 2007.

I am finishing my last semester at The University of Maryland and will be graduating in May with a bachelors in Agricultural and Extension Education. I have recently accepted a position at a local extension office working as a 4-H Program Assistant. In the fall, I will start my graduate program and work towards a position as a 4-H Extension Educator. In my free time I work at Sheepman Supply located in Frederick, MD, helping fellow shepherds with their sheep and livestock supplies. During the show season I exhibit my Cheviots at several county fairs, The Maryland State Fair, Keystone International Livestock Expo, Delaware Livestock Expo, The All-American Junior Show, and NAILE. I have also attended the Ohio Cheviot Showcase, as well as the National Show and Sale in Springfield.

I am very excited to be helping with the American Junior Cheviot Association this year. I believe that the junior members are the key to keeping our breed strong. If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions for the Junior Association please feel free to contact me.

In the future I plan to continue expanding my Cheviot flock and meet many new people within our breed. Thank you for such a great opportunity within a fantastic organization.

Happy 2012!

A Word from the Executive Secretary

Jeff Ebert

As I sit here thinking what to write about in my column for the Cheviot Journal, several things come to mind. My daughter Monica, says dad no one probably reads what you write anyway. I told her some people listen to me, better than she sometimes does. So following are my thoughts.

It is a great time to be in the sheep business! At least in our area, there are some folks looking to get started with sheep or expand their operations.

I guess that is what good prices do for an industry.

The lamb market although not as strong as in 2011 remains steady. The demand for quality breeding stock is as high as it has been in the last 20 years.

A quick side note. Last year I bought two Cheviot rams for a local commercial breeder. He was willing to try them. He reports greater baby lamb vigor and better survivability of the new born lambs from the Cheviot bucks!

Back to my original comments, I have spent some time looking through old Sheep Breeder and Sheepman magazines to glean some information for this issue. I find it amazing what the champions and high sellers brought in the 1950's and 1960's. I am not sure how those breeders made a living. Yes, production costs were much lower and travel expenses were also much less, but when the Champions brought $250 and were the high sellers you have to wonder why they kept raising sheep.

I can only assume it was for the love of what they were doing, because they sure were not getting rich doing it. This really brings me to my point, love for the industry and more specifically the Cheviot breed. You as breeders need to show our youth and new folks getting into the breed what it is you love about the Cheviot breed. I have heard several of you tell me what you love about them, just be sure you share that with all potential new customers.

The new breeders and youth are the lifeline of our industry and the Cheviot breed has so much to offer these people. We just need to convince them to make the right choice and choose Cheviots.

This way when in another 50 years breeders can look back and say how did those breeders make it selling their Cheviots for $500-$1000? They must have loved them as much as I do, will be their only plausible answer.

Show some love and promote Cheviots!!

General Information outstanding merits of these choice cuts, the Cheviot has a reputation as a meat producer. These plump, meaty cuts, their pink flesh delicately trimmed with just enough fat to make them juicy and tender, are the housewife’s choice because with them she can serve her family a tasty meal with minimum waste.

Because they are housewife’s choice, Cheviots are the choice of the butcher, and therefore bring a better price at the market. The Cheviot is prized by the Distinctive Appearance The modern American Cheviot is primarily a mut- meat packers for the very practical reason that the ton sheep. As sheep weights go, it is definitely one packer gets more pounds of lamb which he buys “on of the smaller breeds but one of the most distinctive the hoof.”

Cheviot rams are excellent sires in crossbred in appearance. Much of its distinctive appearance is market lamb production programs. Ewes built to due to the high carriage of the head and the quick, deliver larger-headed lambs find the Cheviot-sired coordinated stride. The head is carried high, and lambs, with their small heads, very easy to deliver, so the ears are carried together, erect and forward. that much less attention is required at lambing time.

There is no wool on the head or face in front of the These lambs are so vigorous, strong, and hardy at ears, nor is there wool below the knees and the birth that losses are kept at a minimum, and a higher hocks. The head, legs, and ears are covered with percentage of the lambs are raised to marketing age. very fine white hair. Their bare heads, attractive Successful producers of commercial lambs know white color and absence of horns give them a very aristocratic bearing.

Rams in good condition mature at mands, at the lowest labor and feed cost. Cheviot 160 to 200 lbs., ewes from 130 to 170 lbs. ram aid these commercial producers in producing the Extreme Hardiness type of lambs desired by the market.

The breed is also recommended for its extreme Fine Fleeces hardiness. This is one of the breed’s strongest Cheviots produce generous fleeces of white wool characteristics. For generations raised on the which is preferred by mills because its fineness, Cheviot Hills, rarely seeing the inside of a shed or crimp, and length of staple give it superior spinning barn, summer or winter, Cheviots have, from force and combing qualities, and its low grease content of circumstances, developed into the hardiest of causes less shrinkage in scouring.

The modern Cheviot breed has been produced by selection rather than by crossing. It is a pure breed, one of a very few in this country. Because of this purity, when the Cheviot ram is mated with crossbred ewes of other breeds, he stamps an unmistakable Cheviotness on his offspring, importing to them a large measure of the superiority of which Cheviots are known.

Production Plus

All Things Considered

Though Cheviots may come in smaller packages, they contain for the sheepman a surprising combination of highly desirable qualities. They are noted for hardiness, longevity, productiveness, milking, and mothering ability and for their great activity. They are high in quality and hang a presentable carcass that has a minimum of outside fat for the amount of carcass lean produced. They utilize rough, low producing hill country very profitably with relatively little assistance from man and even less from the elements.

Where there is a really tough clean-up job to be done to convert waste land into dollars, more and more sheepmen are discovering that “Cheviots can take it.”

In comparing Cheviots with other breeds, let Desirable Carcasses the comparison be made on a basis of pounds of The modern Cheviot has a compact body with dressed lamb and clean wool produced per acre, and a straight smooth back with covers a rack of wellconsider all of the costs of this production, including filled, meaty chops and a broad loin of superior the year-round cost of feeding the ewe, and the time quality. The leg is full, round and plump. One of the and attention required at lambing and shearing time.

Cheviot ewes are a delight for the shepherd.

They bear their lambs easily, have a high number of twins, and produce plenty of milk to support them.

Production records, year after year, show that their twins grow as fast as single lambs. Both the lambs and their mothers are good foragers and thrifty efficient feeders. Their grazing pattern is unlike that of other sheep. Instead of grouping together in a frontal assault on a single area, they tend to spread out over an area and get all the available feed. As rustlers, they have few equals. If there is vegetation to be found—above or beneath the snows—browse, grass, heather, or weed—they will find it.

Cheviot Breed Stand Border Cheviots are a small-framed breed of sheep known for their vigor, mothering ability, muscle and ease of fleshing. Along with their size, the head is another unique characteristic of the Border Cheviot.

I. GENERAL APPEARANCE 25 POINTS

A. APPEARANCE: Alert, active, stylish and symmetrical, standing on moderate leg length. The overall body exhibits balance.

B. SIZE: The preferred Cheviot is proportional in height and length with length equal to or exceeding the height of the animal. The average Cheviot ram should weigh approximately 200 pounds at maturity. The average Cheviot ewe should weigh approximately 150 pounds at maturity.

II. BREED TYPE

25 POINTS

The beauty of the Cheviot head is one of the breed’s distinguishing features. The Cheviot style, alertness and contrasting colors set the breed apart from others.

A. HEAD: Medium in length and broad, with ample width between the eyes. Straight with little arch between the eyes and nostrils; more strongly arched in rams.

1. EARS: Medium in length, sharply erect, of medium thickness, and placed on top of the head. The circumference of the ears should give a curved appearance, rather than flat and open.

From a side view, the ears should be pointed slightly forward.

2. EYES: Large, round, clear and alert, with black pigmentation around the rim of the eye.

3. NOSE: Broad muzzled, with large nostrils forming a black “T” at the end of the nose.

4. MOUTH: Black lipped with a strong, deep jaw.

B. HAIR COVERING: Head, ears, and legs well covered with fine, short, white hair. Black spots are acceptable on the ears and poll. Black spots on any other part of the body are objectionable.

Brown hair on any part of the body is HIGHLY objectionable.

C. HOOVES: Black in color.

14

III. STRUCTURE

25 POINTS

Soundness is imperative in useful Cheviot sheep.

Incorrectness decreases the animal’s movement, growth, reproductive rate, longevity, usefulness and ultimate value. Additionally, structure and soundness are highly inheritable traits.

Cheviots should stand on large circumference of bone with adequate size to the foot.

Structural soundness relates to the skeleton.

Incorrectness in one part of the skeleton usually is connected to incorrectness in other parts of the skeleton.

For example, usually post-legged animals are also too straight in their shoulder angle.

Areas of Structural Correctness FOREQUARTERS: Shoulder blades should be set in uniformly and smoothly to the rest of the body.

BACK: The back of Cheviot sheep should be straight as possible from the top of the shoulder to the dock. A slightly elevated shoulder in comparison to the hip is acceptable. Additionally, slight slope of the hip from the hook bones to the pin bones is acceptable.

FRONT FEET: Front View: Both feet should point forward and be perpendicular to the body with straightness from the chest floor to the toe.

Side View: Feet should be straight from the chest floor through the knee and to the pastern. The angle of the pastern should be approximately 45 degrees.

Less of an angle allows for weak pasterns and more of an angle allows for extreme straightness.

REAR FEET: Side View: The back of the rear leg should be perpendicular to the pin bones of the hip. Less angle allows for post-legged individuals. More angle causes sheep to be sickle-hocked.

Rear View: Legs should be square and perpendicular to the corners of the body with equal distance between legs at the hock and the toe.

MOVEMENT: Animals should maintain the proper correctness to the skeleton both while standing and moving. Many times structural defects are not evident until the animal moves about. It is then important to assess structural correctness both while the Cheviot is standing and moving.

For the beginner and veteran breeder alike, an excellent article on feet and leg soundness in sheep is “Feet and Legs” (North Central Regional Extension Publication #301)

by Drs. Harold Henneman and Margaret Benson of Michigan State University.

2012 Cheviot Journal

dards of Excellence IV. BODY 25 POINTS

A. NECK: Moderately long, trim, and exhibiting extension, blending smoothly into shoulders, and contributing to an overall balanced appearance.

The skin should be free of wrinkles or folds.

B. SHOULDERS: Smoothly laid in from neck to back.

Tight at top of the shoulder, also smooth at the point of the shoulder.

C. CHEST, BRISKET, AND HEART GIRTH: Chest deep and moderately wide, but trim, with adequate capacity, and fitting smoothly into neck and shoulders.

Brisket also trim. Heart girth full, broad and deep to promote longevity.

D. BACK (TOPLINE): Long and level, no weakness in front or behind the shoulder.

E. RIBS: Deep and well sprung with adequate cover.

Essential for vigor and ease of fleshing.

Implementing New Breed Standards

The new Cheviot Standards of Excellence were adopted at the 2004 annual meeting of the American Cheviot Sheep Society. The new Breed Standards are the result of more than two years of work by a committee formed in 2002. Through the process of updating the Cheviot Breed Standards, members presented many thoughts and proposals. These thoughts were debated until the final draft was approved by a vote of the members in November 2004.

While probably not perfect, these Standards represent a significant step forward in the preservation of both the desirable carcass and the beautiful and distinctive Cheviot appearance. Now the important task of applying these Standards is up to all Cheviot breeders. Taking time to explain and demonstrate the preferred Cheviot characteristics to young 4-Hers and others who desire to be Cheviot breeders is critical.

Another important task in assuring that these Standards are followed is to choose judges for national Cheviot competitions who will apply them in the show ring. To help the Board of Directors evaluate how an individual judge applies the breed Standards of Excellence, we ask you to fill out the critique form found on the back page of the Cheviot Journal. If you need extra copies of the critique form, please contact the ACSS office. It is very important for each member to do this so we can establish a judge’s review to assist in the selection of judges for national shows who follow the Breed Standards.

The American Cheviot Sheep Society has taken a large step forward in guarding and maintaining the quality of our Cheviot breed. It is now up to each one of us to complete this task. Please fill out a judge critique form for each show you attend and follow the instructions for submitting the form. If you would like extra copies of the Cheviot Breed Standards of Excellence to share with judges in your area, please contact the ACSS office

2011 National cheviot queen

Amanda See

Greetings from Virginia! I grew up on a farm in a little community called Criders, where things tend to move at a slower pace. As I was growing up you could always find me running around the sheep barns at home or at the fairs my family attended. My mother is the superintendent of our state and county shows so I got to learn the ins and outs of how shows are run at an early age. I’ve always heard stories of my mother using sheep pens in my earlier years as a playpen for me, while she tended to our sheep or exhibitors. So, I guess you could say I was born into it. Unfortunately my parents ended up getting out of the sheep business when I was around eleven. However, my family continued to stay involved in sheep organizations helping promote the sheep industry.

When I was in intermediate school I worked on a local farm that raised sheep. Working there sparked my interest in Cheviots again and so I took home two bottle babies. Soon after, I purchased my own flock of Cheviots from my employers Dennis, Pam, and Clay Miller, who had originally got their start from my parents, back in the day. I had always found the breed to be intriguing with their beauty and wits and was very passionate from the beginning of my project. Thus started the hobby of a lifetime for me. I have become so fascinated with the breed and truly enjoy fitting and showing off their eloquent features.

This past year has been one of the most exciting ones in my life. As you know I was elected the National Cheviot Queen and won the Cheviot Scholarship, which was a wonderful highlight of the year. I was also able to travel to many more shows and I experienced my first All-American Junior show in Delaware. To top it off I was accepted into Virginia Tech where I am currently a junior studying Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences as my major.

My flock now consists of forty brood ewes and I have to give a special thanks to my father for watching over them while I’m away at school. I have always been involved in FFA, 4-H, and the Virginia Junior Sheep Breeders Association. In these organizations I held many offices and had many accomplishments, such as President on several different levels. I also participated and made numerous state judging teams through these associations. My parents and clubs installed a love in me for agriculture and sheep and for that I am forever thankful.

Being the National Cheviot Queen has been a great pleasure and honor of mine, I have met so many great Cheviot breeders and enthusiast. I would like to thank all of the members and directors who promote the breed, promoting is where the breed’s future lies. I also would like to thank Mr. Ebert for being very helpful and answering many of my questions, he is an outstanding secretary. Though I cannot thank everyone who has been very kind and encouraging to me personally, I would like everyone to know I am very grateful for the support and the opportunity I have received. I’m looking forward to the National sale in June and continuing to promote the Cheviot breed for many more years to come.

I wish everyone a wonderful lambing season or if you’ve already started I hope it’s a prospering one.

2011 Scholarship Winner What can we as an Association do to encourage more youth to not only show Cheviots but also raise a flock of their own Cheviots?

I think the hardest part obtaining and retaining young Cheviot breeders is merely enticing them to join the ACSS and to raise Cheviots in the first place. If we can overcome this initial hurdle, I know the retention will take care of itself. Once these young breeders get a taste of the Cheviot breed they will never be able to stop raising these magnificent animals.

To begin with we can't just expect the youth to come to us, we have to go to them. On a local level we should provide information to all our county 4-1-1 newsletters and furnish up- to-date information on award winners and upcoming futurity contests, scholarships and events. This information will then be available to all the local 4-H clubs in our states.

Kaitlin Lewis

In the beginning stages of regrowth, the ACSS should implement a Cheviot Breeder's Advertising Board along with an ACSS display. These displays would be present at all major shows. Individual breeders could take ACSS flyers with them to local shows.

In addition, we should create regional organizations i.e. North East, Midwest, etc. Cheviot Associations.

Each regional organization would hold fundraisers until they have established a firm financial foundation.

Cheviot breeders in their respective regions could donate time and money to help their organizations flourish. Each organization could also institute "Invite-a-Friend" Potlucks to encourage new membership and improve camaraderie amongst its current members.

At the larger shows, we should actively publicize Junior meetings and gatherings. At theJunior meetings, parliamentary procedures should be adhered to, thus making the meetings more worthwhile and productive. Scholarships should be awarded at a designated Junior meeting (it would be the main meeting, preferably at Louisville) where parents and Juniors alike would attend. Having a consistent time and date for these meetings would eliminate confusion and encourage participation. The Junior gatherings should always consist of pizza or ice cream socials, and team building activities which would motivate involvement.

While the Cheviot Queen program is a prestigious one, adding "Cheviot Ambassadors", would create more enthusiasm by allowing a larger group of Cheviot Juniors to participate and be actively involved in the Junior Organization. Each region would have a certain number of these ambassadors. They would be required to give a presentation at the Junior meeting at Louisville on the status of their region as well as what they had done to encourage the youth in their region to be more involved with the Cheviot breed.

There are so many more avenues of promotion to be explored. I believe if we really begin applying ourselves, we can bring the dwindling numbers of active and involved youth Cheviot breeders to extraordinary new levels. The Cheviot breed will yet become “The Breed in the Lead!"

Cheviot Ewe Futurity The American Cheviot Sheep Society is sponsoring a Cheviot Ewe Lamb Futurity open to all Junior Exhibitors. A “Junior Exhibitor” is defined as an exhibitor who is not older than 21 on the date of the Junior Cheviot Show at NAILE. There is no lower age limit, but the junior must be physically capable of showing their own sheep (exception made for physical or other handicap).

Each junior may purchase more than one lamb, but only one lamb placing in the Top Eight will be awarded premiums. The American Cheviot Sheep Society guarantees the availability of $800 to be awarded to the top placings. Consignors will nominate lambs at specified sales and only these lambs will be eligible for the Futurity. All lambs must be purchased at a designated sale.

No lambs purchased through private sales are eligible.

Purchase Futurity Lambs at any sale that takes breeder consignments.

Consignor Rules:

1. Entries include Spring Ewe Lambs born Jan. 1, 2011 or later and Fall Ewe Lambs born Sept. 1 2010 thru Dec. 21, 2010.

2. Nominating fee of $25 is payable to the American Cheviot Sheep Society. Lambs must be nominated and designated prior to entering the show ring of a designated sale. Futurity ewe lambs must be sold at the auction of a designated sale and NOT be presold.

3. Lambs must be flank tattooed for Futurity purposed on the day of the sale. Lambs not so tattooed become ineligible for the Futurity premium.

Exhibitor Rules:

1. Age limitations for Junior Exhibitor: to be eligible to compete in the Futurity, an exhibitor must not be over 21 years of age on the date of the Junior Cheviot Show at NAILE. 2. Junior members must be physically able to show their Futurity lamb to qualify for points at each show (exception made for physical or other handicap). If an exhibitor has more than one Futurity lamb in a class, the owning junior must show one and another exhibitor must show the second lamb.

3. Futurity lambs are to be registered in the individual junior name ONLY. No partnerships, 26

farm, family, 4-H Club or FFA Chapter names are acceptable.

4. Ewe lambs and points earned in the Futurity are not transferable to any other person; nor are the points transferable from one lamb to another.

5. Any Futurity entrant may compete with as many lambs as desired, but will receive a premium for the one lamb with the highest point total. Each junior may win only one Top Eight Award.

6. Lambs must be shown in proper age classes.

7. Premiums: The American Cheviot Sheep Society has donated $800 to start the Futurity Premium. A percentage of this money will be awarded to each division based on the number of lambs nominated. The nominating fee will stay within the designated division of the Futurity.

Division 1—Spring Ewe Lambs Division 2—Fall Ewe Lambs 8. The top eight places will be paid for spring lambs. Payment in the fall lamb division will be determined by the Futurity Committee in June— after all entries are nominated.

9. A point card must be filled out for each show and forwarded to the American Cheviot Sheep Society office within 14 days of the show.

The card must be signed by the Superintendent of the show certifying that the junior exhibited the lamb, class size and the placing of the lamb.

10. For points-earned purposes, all shows are considered equal; i.e. AOB, Junior, Open, State, County receive equal point value in figuring points.

Only the Junior Show at NAILE will be included, excluding the NAILE Open Show.

11. Futurity lambs may compete at any number of shows, but only the top five point-award shows will be included in determining awards.

12. Futurity Awards will be announced at the American Cheviot Sheep Society Annual Meeting at NAILE. 13. The sliding scale shown in the chart indicates how points will be determined.

14. The Cheviot Futurity Program will expand in 2011 to include a Yearling Ewe Futurity Comeback Program. Junior participants in the 2010 Futurity may nominate their ewe by June 1, 2011 for this competition. Spring and fall lambs will be eligible for the comeback program.

NEW Funedraiser!!!

We are asking for your support in a new fundraiser for the American Junior Cheviot Association. We have pulled together and printed a full 13 page color photo calendar of Border Cheviots for the calendar year 2013. It’s now available for purchase. We are offering two ways to purchase the calendars.

1.) By Mail: Cost is $ 23 ($20 for calendar and $3 for mailing). Make check payable to American Junior Cheviot Association/ACSS (?) and mail to either: Denise Orr, 262 S. Foster Rd., Jackson Center, PA 16133 email: mistyacres@wononline.net telephone 814-786-7018 or Ashley Stevens, 8229 Artie Kemp Rd., Frederick, MD 21701 email : ashleyjanelle@comcast.net telephone 301-305-8075 2.) By pick up: Calendars will be available at one of the following shows/sales for the cost of $20 : Ohio Cheviot Showcase Show and Sale, Eaton, OH National Cheviot Show and Sale, Springfield, IL All American Jr Show, MI NAILE, Louisville, KY

Ava Now ilab le!

We are hoping this fundraiser goes well and to make it an annual event. This is a great gift to give yourself or anyone you know. The future of the calendar is in your hands and it will be discussed at the June, 2012 annual meeting in Springfield, IL. So please purchase early and show your support to continue this project.

Also, a couple preliminary thoughts right now is to possibly have a photo contest with judging at NAILE to select the photos to be used in the 2014 calendar or possibly another way for breeders to submit photos for consideration.

A LOOK BACK AT CHEVIOTS IN 1994 The Champion and Reserve Champion rams at the National Sale were shown by Valerie Vale of California on two yearling rams. The Champion ewe was shown by Budd & Karen Martin of Ohio, while the Reserve Champion ewe was shown by Alvin Shoop & Family of Ohio.

Budd & Karen Martin had the best consignment. 99 head were sold in the sale with an average price of $285.35. The top selling ram was an intermediate ram lamb from Budd & Karen Martin selling to Spilde Farms, WI. The top selling ewe came from the Martin consignment as well selling to Homer Long Family, WV.

The 1994 NAILE show featured the first all Cheviot wether class. The Champion wether was shown by Darcy McCarthy and the Reserve was shown by Eric Shellhouse, both from Ohio. There were 25 wethers shown in 1994. In the open show which was judged by Bill Lawter the Champion and Reserve rams were from the Intermediate ram class. Champion was shown by John & Judy Moore, MI and Reserve was shown by Spilde Farms, WI. The Champion ewe was shown by Charles York, MA and the Reserve ewe was shown by Jami Baker.

Both ewes came from the yearling class. The 1st place flock came from Lo-Ke Cheviots and Pine Knoll Acres was the premier exhibitor.
