Scottish Goatkeepers' Federation
Welcome
The Scottish Goatkeepers Federation is a registered charity founded in 1921. Its aims are to encourage and promote keeping, breeding and showing goats and to provide news and information to our members.
Scottish Charity Number: SC030374
Scottish Charity Number: SC030374
At present there is a membership of approx. 80, from all over Scotland and reaching across the UK. We produce a thrice yearly magazine for our members, which contains information, articles, show dates and results, pictures and contact details of other goatkeepers.
The SGF is affiliated to the British Goat Society, which is our parent body and has international standing. It publishes and runs the Herd Book in which all pedigree goats can be registered. We run a BGS recognised show in August every year. The Scottish Goat of the Year Award is run by the SGF as is the Scottish Herd Prefix of the Year.
SGF Club Constitution
Our aims are to circulate knowledge and general information about goats. We try to extend and encourage the keeping of all breeds and types of goats and to further the improvement of all breeds of goats.
We do our utmost to try to protect goats against cruelty from any source, whether it be intentional or unintentional.
We encourage the production of milk, meat, fibre in different breeds of goats, but we also recognise that goats are often kept for other reasons e.g. harness goats or simply as pets.
We keep members in touch with goat health developments and government legislation affecting goat keepers. We offer support and advice in goat keeping matters, in addition to that given on the BGS Website.
We can supply forms for goat registration from the club secretary or these can be downloaded from the BGS Website. Goats can be registered with the BGS through ourselves as an affiliated society- contact the secretary for details.
