OPP CONCERNED BREEDERS SOCIETY 2020 MEMBER DIRECTORY

Our membership represents many different breeds and many different situations. Some of us have, despite repeated testing, never had an animal test positive for ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP); some of us started with stock from a clean flock; some of us are in the process of eradicating the disease from our flocks. In other words, membership in the Society and inclusion in this directory is not intended to indicate freedom from OPP, but rather an active concern about the effects of this and other diseases within our own flocks and within the North American sheep industry as a whole.

Last updated in August of 2020, this directory includes individual members from 26 states and 2 Canadian provinces, along with 5 breed associations. Member flocks range in size from fewer than a dozen ewes to more than 4,000. The information is as accurate as we can make it but details, statistics, and test results can change quickly (and of course, mistakes — typographical and otherwise — do occur). Please contact individual breeders for more specific information about a particular flock. Ask about health records and test results, the status of the flock, methods of eradication, etc.

The OPP Society welcomes purebred and commercial producers as well as breed associations, veterinarians, researchers, students, and all others who share our interest in ovine health issues. We invite you to join in our mission to build awareness and provide education and support on request. Annual membership dues ($15 U.S.) are our sole source of funding.
