DNA Test
Results:
1. This sale will follow the American Southdown Association policy that all animals consigned and

be sold under these conditions. DNA test results are not required for animals whereby genotypes
are immediately obvious based solely on their own pedigree and warranted and represented as
such by the consignor. Sale Sponsor assumes NO liability, legal or otherwise, expressed or implied
as it relates to genomic (DNA) derived information.
2. We strongly encourage all consignors to know and advertise the DNA status of their entries as it
relates to the “Hairy Lamb Syndrome” or Ectodermal Dysplasia. We have contacted Dr. Beaver at
the University of Illinois. His office will give high priority to samples designated as “Results
Required for Sale”. His office is ideally seeking large sample sizes for efficiency sake. Please send
in your samples now!!!
