American Kiko Goat Association
The American Kiko Goat Association is the original Kiko registry, founded in 1994 to promote the breed, and the members quickly steered the organization towards promoting data-driven breeding decisions and accurate registry services. In 2000, the Association bought the original herd book which means that every Kiko registry traces all of their animals back to AKGA animals. As a member-run organization, the AKGA draws on the expertise of its members, from animal science and business, to law and education and everything in between.

North American Pack Goat Association
The North American Packgoat Association (NAPgA) is the national organization representing packgoat enthusiasts. Founded in 1999 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, NAPgA’s mission statement includes the following: to promote the use and enjoyment of packgoats to improve, mentor, and encourage competency in the practice of goat packing; to promote scientific study of the caprine species, their care, welfare and training; to urge recognition of goatpacking as an eco-friendly pack stock alternative; and to establish traditions which will further the welfare of goatpacking and of packgoats. NAPgA is engaged in community outreach and supports youth interested in goatpacking through resources and scholarships. One of the NAPgA’s vital functions is to keep abreast of proposed closures and/or restrictions on the use of packgoats on public lands, responding to such proposals, and working with our members, land managers, Forest Service, state wildlife departments, the scientific community and other interested groups to keep public lands open to goat packing. Another vital function is supporting research that benefits the industry. Because Urinary calculi is a significant limiting factor to the health and longevity of wethered goats which are preferred by goat packers, NAPgA has partnered with a UC Davis Co-Investigative Researcher to conduct a study “Citizen Science Epidemiological Research Study of Urinary Calculi in Wethered Goats.” Ready to have some fun? NAPgA holds an annual Rendezvous each June! Classes, camaraderie and so much more in a beautiful packgoat friendly setting!
