Its time once again for the annual Combined Flock Book survey. The survey tells us which sheep are still alive, and which flocks are still active. It would help us a great deal if you would log into the Online Registry and complete your survey NOW.
The final results of the survey are published in the Flock Book. This will be Volume 51.
There is no need to delay. By doing your survey return via the Grassroots Online Registry now, you will save the RBST the printing and postage costs associated with sending you a paper copy. Any births, deaths or transfers you log after you complete the survey will automatically be added to your confirmed survey return.
To complete the survey ‘Online’ please go to the web site www.grassroots.co.uk/cfb.html
Select your breed Type in your Combined Flock Book number (the leading zeros are important) This may not be the same as your RBST membership number and your password / access code. If you have mislaid your flock book number or password – click on the lost password button on the log in page or email registry@grassroots.co.uk and we will email you a link to reset your password.
Click on Do Now in the Survey Panel in the middle of the Home Page.
Transfers – You may wish to log transfers of breeding sheep before clicking on the link to the survey page. Transfers are free of charge. Click on the menu icon top right and select transfer.
Births – births need to be logged before the end of October, but any you do log later in the summer will automatically be added to your confirmed survey list. All lambs should be logged in the year they are born. Log into the Online Registry and click on the menu icon top right to select births. Add the offspring from each ewe and add to list. Finally view and submit the list. Notification is FREE OF CHARGE. Online registry fees are at reduced rates.
Survey – On the survey page you will be given a list of all the animals we think you own.
Tick for each to tell us if they are alive, dead or sold Remember lambs logged later, or previously notified lambs registered later will be automatically added to your confirmed return once you have done the initial submission, as will deaths and sales. Completing the survey NOW will save us having to send you a paper form
We look forward to hearing from you and thanks for your continued support,
