IDGA Events

Growing the dairy goat community

“To provide practical and scientific instruction in the breeding and care of dairy goats and their products.” – This is directly from the 1967 founding objectives of the Iowa Dairy Goat Association and it remains a pertinent and thriving component of the organization today, over 50 years later.

I smile every time I see new faces come to one of our events and smile even bigger when we witness veterans take part in helping them through the paces.
