Mission Statement

The Arkansas Shepherds Association empowers sheep producers through education, community, and the advancement of healthy, sustainable flocks.
We unite shepherds of all experience levels to share knowledge, strengthen genetics, promote responsible animal care, and support the growth of sheep production across Arkansas.
Our mission is to build a collaborative, inclusive network that equips producers with practical skills, science‑based resources, and a supportive community—ensuring thriving farms, resilient flocks, and a stronger future for the sheep industry in our state.
