Welcome to the National Livestock Producers Association's
Sheep
& Goat Fund
It
is the mission of the National Livestock Producers Association’s
Sheep & Goat Fund to encourage innovation and efficiency in
the sheep and goat industries by providing credit to eligible
and qualified entities.
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) (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:
-
expertise
with livestock production, processing and marketing-related
lending;
-
nationwide
capability in urban and rural areas; and the
ability to process and
-
service loans from all segments of
the sheep and goat industries; from production through the
packer/processor/retail level.
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.
