The funds, including donations from individuals, concerns, corporations, and grants from the state or governmental agencies, shall be used for the purpose of promoting and stimulating, by research, market development, and education, the increased use and sale, domestic and foreign, of ovine or caprine animals; and for the prevention, modification, or elimination of trade barriers which obstruct the free flow of ovine or caprine animals to market.
