PBA Membership

Pygora Breeders Association Membership costs only $35 per year for the entire family, and members have access to educational resources, events, and the exclusive Pygora herdbook where all Pygoras are recorded. New breeders will need to join the PBA and claim their Herdname and Tattoo in order to register offspring.

Make new friends and valuable business connections. Learn what other PBA members are doing. Become a member of a very special group of Pygora goat people whose common bond is their love for these little fleece producing goats. Don’t be left out! 

The link below will take you to our online membership form on Grassroots, the breed society software that hosts the herdbooks of more than 150 breed societies of sheep, cattle, pigs, goats, horses, donkeys and camelids all over the world including the Pygora Herdbook.
