Producer memberships

Join Our Flock

As part of our community with a producer membership, you’ll have access to multiple benefits – all of which are designed to help the Montana sheep industry thrive!

Producer Member Benefits:

Industry Awareness

We cover the latest information on topics including market news, animal health, production, natural resources, promotion, upcoming events, and legislation affecting the industry. Members receive information via the quarterly Montana Wool Grower Magazine, website, email updates via the Ewesful Newsletter, Annual Convention and Membership Meetings, social media, wool pool meetings and other educational seminars and field days hosted by MWGA.
We have recently partnered with GoatMT and MSU Extention to bring goat specific workshops and educational events to producers across Montana.

Additional Membership Benefits

Subscription to quarterly print magazine

Membership to American Sheep Industry Association

Voting rights during the annual meeting

Opportunity to consign at the annual ewe and ram sales

Reduced ad rates in the Wool Grower Magazine

Discounted Pricing on ABF Ortmann Mineral and Sheep Pro Blocks

Membership Dues

What does it cost?

Just $20 per yearly membership
plus $.60 per head of sheep and goats owned

The additional sixty cents per head is what the Association operates on as it works to improve the opportunities for raising sheep, wool, and goats in Montana.

For an additional $15 per year, we’ll also list your wool operation in the Breeders Directory on the website and in the magazine.

Our members love it here

“MWGA works hard to keep our industry strong through legislation. I don’t always understand how things work in the legislature but MWGA does and has been very successful in getting the job done. They also have a variety of members who are good at so many different things which enables us to be strong when we come to the table to talk about or fight for our industry. As a small producer, I didn’t understand how the bigger issues impacted me until I became a member.”

“We joined MWGA in the early 1970s. The annual wool pool meeting was the biggest social event of the year in Big Timber. Since then, it has become more than just social. It is a way to connect with fellow producers. MWGA keeps you informed on local and national issues, keeps you up to date on current markets and trends, and works for the whole sheep industry, no matter what size operation or breed you have. Being a member makes me feel like I have a voice in the sheep industry.”

“MWGA is integral to our Montana sheep industry through the framework of support, education, and the advocacy it provides. Bridgette and I attended our first MWGA Convention last year and learned about the MWGA’s efforts, discussed production best practices and enjoyed the fellowship with others in the industry. Participating in the MGWA will help you keep informed and give you an active voice in the sheep industry.”
