National CVM Conservancy

Membership

Objectives

We welcome all who share an interest in the preservation of the purebred CVM/Romeldale breed--the rarest of the rare breeds of sheep in the country today according to the ALBC (American Livestock Breeds Conservancy).

Our objective is to promote and preserve purebred CVM/Romeldale sheep that are strictly verifiable through Eidman/Sexton lineage using the herd/sire books of ARCR, which is the original and oldest registration book available for reference.

The Conservancy endeavors to enhance and promote the breed through education, breeder support, and ad co-op's.

Join us...you are all welcome! Our goal is to promote an environment in which all members are valued as equal preservation/conservation contributors. Membership does not require ownership of CVM/Romeldale sheep, or any specific number of purebred CVM/Romeldale sheep. The only requirement is a genuine interest in preserving the rare and endangered CVM/Romeldale breed.

The Conservancy operates completely on a volunteer staff and donations. We are a 501(C)3 non-profit making it easier for individuals and business alike to be able to not only help the CVM/Romeldale as an endangered breed, but also be able to use it as a tax deductible donation. Our mission is to preserve this most unique breed as part of the heritage we hold in this country today.

Membership Fees and Privileges

Membership in NCC brings you into a network of people interested in furthering the Romeldale/CVM breed of sheep. A bi-annual newsletter brings topics specific to our breed right to your door. As an added bonus, Conservancy dues entitle members to receive an automatic membership in ARCR. Members may then register all verifiable Eidman/Sexton purebred sheep at a nominal per-animal fee (see animal registration form on ARCR page for fee structure) for each calendar year that their Conservancy membership is renewed.

CVM/Romeldale sheep are the most critically rare breed of sheep in the US today according to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
