S&B Bell Farms started in 2016, and we've been raising alpacas and registered Katahdin sheep since that time. In 2020 we added our dairy goat herd when we purchased a goat milk soap operation that was closing their doors. We are a small farm with a very big heart! One aspect of being involved with small ruminants is that KY is very strongly focused with their education on many topics involving the small ruminant care. From the Third Thursday Things to Small Ruminant Profit School, in addition to the programs our local extension office has offered, I found the more we participated in these programs the better we became at taking care of our animals. I would like to brainstorm with others to increase access to these educational topics, and to help reduce barriers of entry into livestock farming. I've served on the KGPA board since 2024, and am the current vice-president.
Dr. Beth Johnson, DVM

As a current board member and President of KGPA, I would like to introduce myself to those who don't know me. I have been raising dairy goats since 1970 and added Boer goats to the farm back in the early 2000's. As a veterinarian and producer, I have enjoyed working on small ruminants for many years and continue to dedicate my time to educating others with the experience I have received over the many years. I have been involved in showing dairy goats, Boer/market goats and 4-H/FFA projects for many years and hope to continue for many years to come. Hope that all members can feel free to give me a call anytime they need assistance with their herd health, etc in this small ruminant world. Thanks for considering me to continue on the KGPA board.

I have been involved in sheep and goats since a small child. Showing sheep and goats in 4H and FFA, my claim to fame is winning the first KSF market goat show. Into adulthood I continued raising small ruminates, producing both show animals and commercial stock. Growing my products and growing customers of goat meat. I am active in ag education, hosting or teaching at several events. Current have a flock over 100 head and producing club lambs/kids and commercial and breeding/purebred stock. Small ruminates are important to me and my family.
