Welcome to the site of the oldest dairy goat association in Idaho
Welcome! The Idaho Syringa Dairy Goat Association is a Non-Profit Organization Established in 1972. It is intended that this association shall provide a network for members to share ideas, support each other and come together to do what other wise could not be done. Our course of action is to work together cooperatively and positively for common cause, and to increase the interests and knowledge of the Dairy Goat. More specifically we aspire:
A. To promote Dairy Goats and Dairy Goat products.
B. To educate members and the public about Dairy Goats, their care, management, problems and practices.
C. To encourage breed improvement through use of quality registered bucks and does
D. To sponsor and/or support Dairy Goat shows that will help members and the public become aware of and value quality Dairy Goats.
E. To improve public awareness through promotional events (clinics, sales, products, fun events, good PR, Dairy Goat shows, youth and Adult showmanship classes and effective displays that provide positive messages.).
F. We are dedicated to supporting the 4-H, FFA and other youth Dairy Goat programs for……OUR FUTURE.

Would you like to sponsor a Silver Buckle for a showmanship Winner? Let us know. Any amount is welcome.
We are planning on a Saturday potluck. We will provide potatoes and smoked tri tip. Please plan to bring something to share.
Shavings are what the facilities is requiring us to use now. We will provide first bedding of some shavings (facility management is a bit stingy on what they give us). Local feed stores should have inventory. We may have some left over after first bedding to sell as well. You are welcome to bring your own shavings as well. Pens are 6x6. If you add straw to the bedding you will be required to clean your pens.
Sponsorship
Syringa has asked for Sponsorships to aid us in keeping the cost of the show down for our exhibitors. Sponsorship is $25/Breed/Ring. So if you want to sponsor a particular breed in all 4 rings it is $100.

Camping on the fairground facilities is "NOT" permitted. Please don't be sharing the information if you plan to "catch a nap" in rigs (can I hint any stronger???). Fairgrounds faculty have the authority to fine anybody they observe camping and/or being hooked up to power along the barn walls. If they overhear you mentioning that you plan to camp out in your rig don't act surprised if they come by later! There will be one assigned night watch which has authorization to camp on the fairgrounds. A newly renovated campground facility, Boise Riverside RV Park, can be reached at 208-375-7432 to make your camping reservations nearby.
