Kentucky agriculture officials and producers gathered April 1 at Lakeview Park in Frankfort to proclaim April as Goat Month.
“Goats bring diversity to our agricultural landscape across Kentucky and more and more farmers are choosing to add them to their livestock,†said Jonathan Shell, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. “They add a uniqueness to farm life, but they are also an excellent source of protein and dairy products. This month we salute all that goats add to our state’s agricultural outlook.â€
