The purpose of the Committee on Sheep, Goats, and Camelids is to serve as a forum for the exchange of current information between invited speakers, the committee members, and guests. The membership is made aware of important problems and concerns that may have a negative impact on the industry and new technology and solutions that will positively impact on the sheep and goat industries. The committee also summarizes important problems or concerns into committee resolutions or recommendations for presentation to the USAHA Resolutions Committee.
