Greetings WSSP Members, Here it is almost March and the March winds are a little early. Hopefully those April showers will be a little early too. It has been a busy month February 2 thru the 4th. Wendy and I headed to Oklahoma City to The Society of Range Management Convention. S. Martinez Livestock was Pictured left to right: Charles Richmond, Director of Rangeland Management, nominated for the Mark and Wendy Martinez, Jim Pena, NFS Associate Deputy Chief. National Award of Outstanding Achievement in Rangeland Management. By Maura Laverty, who is the Forest Range Program Manager in Wenatchee. It was quite an honor!! Unfortunately Nick wasn't able to go. He stayed behind to keep everything running smooth at the Lambing Camp. Lambing has been productive and we are getting to the half way point quick. Ready to turn the first group out on sagebrush if the darn cheat grass would grow. Sure would be nice to get a little precipitation... Hopefully all of you are having a great lambing season.

Smith, Moses Lake Greetings from Appel Valley Farm, We have our first lamb so maybe lambing season has started. It s supposed to snow this weekend so of course it s time to lamb. Dick and I attended the ASI convention in San Antonio the end of January. It was foggy in the morning and 80 by afternoon. Certainly not what we northerners were used to. We should all be proud of our Make It With Wool contestants. Johanna Svensson of Indianola our Senior contestant was sixth runner up and our Junior contestant Danny Butler of Walla Walla placed in the top 13. There were three gentlemen in the national contest this year. They designed their own dance routine to start off the style show. They were great. More congratulations are due Loveta Boyce. She was elected the new ASIW Vice-President. She will do a wonderful job. Next state convention look her up and buy some big bucks tickets. They help fund the Make It With Wool contest and she is responsible for them the next two years. Dick asked me to relay to you that the Whitman, Spokane and Columbia Basin Wool Pools have sold their wool. White face is $1.40 and black face is $.85 I am going to lecture a few of you ladies. Get your mammogram. At my regular mammogram in November they found breast cancer. I have been undergoing test since the lumpectomy in December and am now starting radiation. No breast cancer in my family so this was a surprise. Go get tested.

3 Volume 27, Issue 1 Page 3 Volume 27, Issue 1 Eradicating Scrapie: How Sheep Producers Can Help The National Scrapie Eradication Program (NSEP) has stated there has been a 96% decrease in the percent positive sheep sampled at slaughter adjusted for face color since the start of Scrapie Slaughter Surveillance in FY It further states there were 47% fewer newly identified infected and source flocks in FY2012 compared to the same date in FY2011. In FY2012, there were 21 cases of classical scrapie identified in sheep in the United States. No cases of classical scrapie in goats were identified and no cases of Nor98 scrapie were identified in FY2012. From FY2003 to FY2012, about 2,510 sheep and 31 goats have tested positive for classical scrapie in the USA. At the current rate of progress, the NSEP expects the prevalence of scrapie to be at or near zero by FY In Washington State, USDA APHIS Veterinary Services is actively collecting scrapie slaughter surveillance samples. During FY2012 approximately 382 sheep samples and 32 goat samples were collected that had Washington scrapie tags. No scrapie cases were discovered in Washington in FY2012. There are several ways producers can help the scrapie eradication effort: 1. With sheep, use RR rams to pass on genetic resistance to scrapie to the lambs. 2. Keep a closed flock/herd. Select replacement ewes and does from lambs and kids born in your flock. This eliminates the risk of purchasing a ewe or doe that may be infected with scrapie. Scrapie is usually transmitted by females during lambing/kidding. 3. Obtain replacement ewes and does from Scrapie Flock Certification Program (SFCP) certified flocks Membership Information We welcome the following new members: Gerry & Kathleen Kaufman, Kaufman Show Lambs, Carlsborg Robin & Stafford-Ames Morse II & III, Bankside Farm, Duvall Annual dues for regular or associate members are $ Junior members $ WSSP, P.O. Box 2145, Leavenworth, WA 98826, , wssp@gmx.com and herds which have taken measures to lower the risk for scrapie infection. 4. Keep confined lambing and kidding areas as clean as possible by discarding placenta, birth fluids, and contaminated bedding. Use household bleach (6 ¼ cups bleach mixed with 9 ¾ cups water) to disinfect clean, dry, solid surfaces and equipment. 5. When at fairs prevent physical contact especially with any female sheep or goats that have a vaginal discharge, have recently lambed or kidded or aborted. Separate by a vacant pen, barn alley, or solid barrier. 6. Recognize the signs of scrapie in sheep and goats. Infected sheep and goats usually show signs of scrapie from 2-5 years of age or older caused by damage to the nerve cells in the brain. Early signs include behavioral changes, tremor (especially of head and SCRAPIE Continued on Page 6 Associate Members Columbia Basin Sheep Producers 719 S.

7 Volume 27, Issue 1 Page 7 Volume 27, Issue 1 U.S. Lamb Prices to Recover in 2013 The U.S. lamb prices are expected to rebound in 2013 encouraged by stable demand and reduced supplies. This is according to an analysis of the sheep industry that was made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's, Economic Research Service in its Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. "In 2012, sheep inventory registered a smaller decline than in the previous two years. Despite the drought conditions in most of the sheep-producing areas, the "grow our flock" program by the sheep industry appeared to slow the decline. The National Agriculture Statistics Service's Sheep and Goats report estimated the inventory of all sheep and lamb in the United States on Jan. 1, 2013, as 5.34 million head, down 1 percent and a 30,000-head decline from Breeding sheep inventory decreased to 3.98 million head on Jan. 1, 2013, down 1 percent from 4.0 million head on Jan. 1, A 2-percent decline was seen in the 2012 lamb crop and is expected to result in further production declines during 2013, with production at around 152 million pounds. As a result, slaughter lamb prices, which declined significantly in 2012, are expected to show strength in 2013." The full report is available at
