Jody,
The Barbados Blackbelly Sheep Association Int'l. (BBSAI) is the
registry for American Blackbelly sheep. They have an open registry,
meaning that you may register your lamb as long as she meets AB breed
standards. Her parents do not need to be registered. You may download
a membership application and registration form from the BBSAI Web
site at http://www.blackbellysheep.org.
When you join the BBSAI, you will be asked to choose a Farm Name and
a three-letter designator. You can register your lamb using your farm
name and the BBSAI will assign her a number that includes your
three-letter designator. For instance, let's say your farm name is
Selkirk Farm and you want to use your initials as the farm
designator. I don't know your middle name, but let's say your
initials are JJS. You could name this lamb Selkirk Farm Bambi and her
registration number would be something like JJS04081039AB. You can
learn what each number in that series means at

Congratulations on being a new American Blackbelly sheep owner!

I saw no ear tags and I do not think the Flock has an official
name. What are my chances of getting her Registered? Or should my
next Lamb be Registered already?
