HSFGR does not deny membership on the basis of any protected characteristic. Decisions are made based on conduct and compliance with HSFGR policies.

Before You Request Membership
We encourage you to review:
New Member Welcome Offer
During HSFGR’s introductory period, new members who join at the annual membership rate of $35 may register up to 10 goats at no additional charge.
We understand that many breeders are thoughtfully considering whether there may be room for HSFGR alongside their current registry plans as they look ahead to the future of their herd. This welcome offer was created to make it easier for heritage-minded breeders to begin establishing records within HSFGR in a practical and manageable way.
Please see the Fees & Service Schedule for complete details, and review the links above so you are familiar with the basic structure and purpose of the HSFGR Barn.
New Member Welcome Offer Terms
The annual membership fee is nonrefundable once a membership request has been reviewed and approved. New members may register up to 10 goats at no additional charge during HSFGR’s introductory offer period, provided complete eligible submissions are received with the membership request or within 7 days of membership approval. Any unused complimentary registrations expire after that time and do not carry forward.
Offer currently available through October 31, 2026. HSFGR reserves the right to revise or discontinue this introductory offer at any time.
Access to member resources is intended for approved members participating in good faith in support of the purposes of HSFGR.
