Welcome to the DAKOTA GOAT ASSOCIATION (DGA).

The DGA is an association for anyone who is interested in any type of goat including dairy, meat, fiber, fainting or pets. Through the DGA, you'll be able to meet others with the same interests and concerns. We're holding or assisting with a variety of events ranging from basic education to performance programs.

Every two months you'll receive a newsletter packed full of information directly relating to keeping goats on the Northern Plains. It includes stories from breeder on how they got started and maintain their operations, articles on disease, recipes, and information about events.

On our "Featured Article" page, we run articles from previous issues. The featured article changes on the first and the fifteenth of each month. We hope you'll check back often.

University of MN/NDSU Extension has provided a series of webinars.
