Over one-third of North America’s livestock and poultry breeds are rare or in decline. These breeds represent genetic diversity which may one day be needed to overcome future problems and ensure food security. This breed once numbered at approximately 20,000, and our goal is to protect these critically endangered goats.

There are approximately 1,700 San Clemente Island Goats in 27 states and 3 Canadian provinces. They are listed as critically endangered on the Livestock Conservancy’s Conservation Priority List.
