The Western South Dakota Sheep Growers Association was formed in 1937 by sheep producers to eradicate scabies in sheep. With their efforts successful, the organization continued and became a member of the National Wool Growers Association in 1940. In 1979, a statewide organization was formed and called the South Dakota Sheep Growers Association.
