- 20 - in the RCR #4 bill of sale as having the registration numbers 564033 and 573587, and (2) 44 other Suffolks born in late 1985 and early 1986, each of which had a lower registration number than 564033 and 573587.12 The latter 44 Suffolks could not have been registered before the time of their births in late 1985 or early 1986. Thus, the two Suffolks with the higher registration numbers 564033 and 573587 must have been registered with the society sometime after early 1986. As indicated previously, the American Suffolk Society assigned its registration numbers sequentially in chronological order when the registration application for that particular Suffolk had been approved and a registration certificate was to be issued. The American Suffolk Society registration certificate information as to (1) the two Suffolk ewes, registration Nos. 564033 and 573587, and (2) the 44 other Suffolks born in late 1985 and early 1986, is set forth infra in Appendix D to this Opinion. 12Although a few sample registration certificates are in evidence, the parties did not introduce into the record registration certificates for all of the sheep. Instead, the parties submitted a stipulated exhibit listing information from numerous individual certificates. This stipulated exhibit covers certificates petitioners provided to respondent prior to trial, certificates respondent obtained from national sheep breed associations, and certificates petitioners provided to respondent after the trial. Unfortunately, the exhibit omits the date upon which each registration certificate was issued. Thus, in examining the registration certificate information on the 46 Suffolks discussed above, the Court was unable to ascertain the specific dates upon which their American Suffolk Sheep Society certificates were issued.Page: Previous 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Next
