HOAGBA
Welcome to the website of the Heart of America Game Breeders' Association, HOAGBA.
The HOAGBA was founded in 1985 by a group of people who saw the need for creating an organization for game breeders in Kansas and Missouri. Today, HOAGBA membership includes breeders in over 20 states. Dues are just $10.00 per year, and each member will receive a bi-annual membership directory and 9 newsletters, The Heartland News. For membership information, please e-mail Terry Smith.
HOAGBA has cooperated and worked with Kansas Wildife and Parks and the Kansas Animal Health Department to promote the well-being of birds and animals kept in captivity. It strives to provide information to its members and the general public about maintaining birds and animals for enjoyment, species preservation and profit.

The Spring swap season is just around the corner, visit our swap page for more information.
At each auction donated birds, equipment and other items are auctioned. In 2012, $$1,527.00 was deposited
in the HOAGBA Scholarship Fund which is used to support 4-H Fair and Junior Show Awards. In
2012, checks for $125.00 were mailed to each of these groups for youth awards at shows & fairs: Jackson
County Rabbit & Poultry Club, Heart of America Bantam Assn. for youth awards at their fall show, the
Oklahoma State Poultry Association for the junior show, the United Poultry Fanciers’ show at Avoca, IA.
the Overbrook Fair Association, Wyandotte County 4-H Project, Leavenworth County 4-H Fair, Miami
County 4-H Fair, Johnson County 4-H Fair, and Douglas County 4-H Fair. A special thank-you goes to all
the people who bought or donated to the HOAGBA Scholarship Fund Auction. Without your participation,
young people who are interested in poultry and rabbits would not receive recognition for their work. Young
people are the future of our hobby and they should be encouraged.
