The NLPA Sheep and Goat Fund is a revolving fund established within NLPA to assist the U.S. sheep and goat industries by strengthening and enhancing the production and marketing of sheep and goats and their products in the United States.

The Fund is the result of a joint effort of the National Sheep Industry Improvement Center (NSIIC) (which is now the American Sheep and Goat Center) and the National Livestock Producers Association (NLPA). The NSIIC made funds available to NLPA, which serves as an Intermediary and established the Sheep and Goat Fund. NLPA has the ability to service and administer this important program and was selected for their ability to provide:

The Sheep and Goat Industry is in need of creative ideas that will add value to sheep and goats and the products they provide. National Livestock Producers Association encourages industry members to evaluate the immediate needs in their area, gather support from others who recognize those needs, and work together to find the most effective solutions to local concerns.

The NLPA Sheep & Goat Fund is not part of the USDA 201 Lamb Meat Program. Please refer to the USDA's 201 Lamb Meat Program site.
