​Goat production in KY is constantly changing. With expanding market opportunities, more and more people are realizing the potential goats can bring to their farm. Being on the Board of Directors for KGPA allows me the opportunity to meet many types of producers and learn their challenges and strengths. It’s an honor to meet these folks and work beside them to advance the goat industry.
