The ABGA is organized to collect and maintain the history and pedigree of Boer goats, to provide for their registration, to preserve the purity of the breed, and to encourage the further improvement and wider distribution of the breed through research, promotion, and education.

Rules and Regulations ensure the American Boer Goat Association maintains breed standards, promotes fair practices, supports member integrity, and fosters a community of responsible breeders dedicated to the health and quality of Boer goats.

The American Boer Goat Association (ABGA), Its Board of Directors, Members, Non-Members and/or Agents are committed to conducting ourselves in a professional manner that does not reflect negatively on themselves or the association.

The object of this policy is to combine all aspects of ABGA and JABGA Travel under one policy by Sections, as outlined in the following document.

The ABGA Breed Standards are an Ideal of Perfection; a goal to strive towards and attempt to achieve. THE ABGA Breed Standards are tools to be used by breeders to help them improve their own breeding programs and work towards this Ideal of Perfection.
