In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, TGPA is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability.

The TGPA is working to advance the goat industry in Tennessee. Our programs and committees reflect the needs and interests of our members, including: marketing breeding stock and meat goats, marketing goat meat products and goat dairy products, all aspects of herd health management, breeding and genetics, and publicity and public awareness of goats in general. We want to publicize the growth of the goat industry as an important part of our state’s economy.

If you are a long time goat producer we offer an excellent opportunity for exchanging ideas and working with other goat producers. If you are unfamiliar with goats, considering raising goats or just getting started with goats, we offer help, information and encouragement. Goats are friendly, even ‘charming’ animals. Their size makes them easy to handle - usually! Why, they even come equipped with built-in handles! They can thrive under conditions that would not support cattle or sheep well.
