Welcome to the South Carolina Sheep Industries Association. Our goal is educate, encourage and empower our members to raise, show, market or just enjoy their sheep, lambs and goats. We offer programs to help beginning and existing Sheep (and Goat owners) raise healthy and productive small ruminants. We have quite a diverse group- sheep for dairy and some goats for wool and everything else you can imagine!
Whether you're thinking about getting a couple of goats as family pets or working into a microdairy, our classes and members can help you along the way. There's a growing interest in family farms to raise their own meat and milk as well as an interest in wool. Our upcoming conference has so much information in all aspects. Scroll down to Upcoming Events.
Our membership fee is $25 and renewals are due. Use the link at the bottom of this page to join or renew. A PayPal link is available for your convience. You will receive the ASI Magazine, newsletter and discounts on conferences and classes.
Our Parent Association is the American Sheep Industry. Many of the state associations are including goats (as we have always done in the past) because both species are small ruminants. To help with internet searches, we will use the name-South Carolina Sheep and Goat.
