The
North Carolina Pygmy
Goat Club was
founded in 1981 by a
group of dedicated
pygmy goat
enthusiasts to
promote the pygmy
goat breed in the
central region of
North Carolina. They
called their group
the Piedmont Pygmy
Goat Club. In the
following years the
club's name has
changed twice to
reflect it's growing
membership which now
includes members in Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West
Virginia, even Texas and Nevada, and, of
course, North
Carolina.
The
club's purpose is to
aid and encourage
the breeding,
exhibition, and
perpetuation of the
pygmy goat breed
under the National
Pygmy Goat
Association's breed
standards; to
stimulate popular
interest in the
pygmy goat, and
their care and
management; to
research and study
the characteristics
of the pygmy goat,
their breeding,
husbandry; to
collect and
disseminate useful
information
concerning them; and
finally to encourage
and conduct exhibits
for the purpose of
advancing the cause
of the pygmy goat as
a useful breed
within the American
agricultural system.
