Our Association
The San Joaquin Pygmy Goat Association was founded on November 13, 2019 to promote the pygmy goat breed and to educate the public and members of the community about the care and treatment of pygmy goats in the San Joaquin Valley and surrounding areas. We strive to educate, encourage and build empathy so that we may continue to support our county’s youth as well as adults.
The members of the San Joaquin Pygmy Goat Association have grown up in the agricultural community, raising and working with pygmy goats and livestock since childhood, and were taught the values we strive to teach our younger generations.
Caring for animals teaches children responsibility and empathy as well as they experience the benefits of hard work and dedication . Our club is excited to work concurrently with other clubs in our community to involve more youngsters and to get our youth involved across our valley!
