April is Goat Month in Kentucky

By Lisa Tolliver

Frankfort, KY - Kentucky goat producers and industry stakeholders joined Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles today as he signed a proclamation declaring April as Goat Month in Kentucky.

"Creating diversity in our livestock throughout the commonwealth is key to keeping relevant in today's consumer trends," Commissioner Quarles said. "Goats add that variety, along with being an excellent source of protein and dairy products. This month we salute the diversity goat adds to our state's agricultural outlook."

In the United States, goats are primarily used for producing dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese. But the popularity of goat meat is increasing each year as consumers recognize its benefits. Goat meat is lean with low levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, high levels of iron, and packed with proteins and vitamins.

Watch out for fraud when using payment apps

These days many folks prefer digital payment options, like PayPal, Zelle and Venmo. Indeed, only 20 percent of payments are now made in cash. Yet while apps provide convenience, they also create risks, especially for sellers.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) payment platforms (Google Wallet, PayPal, Snapcash, Venmo and Cash App, for example) allow consumers to quickly and easily exchange money with one another. Many businesses now accept and use these platforms as well. However, P2P providers don't provide extensive fraud protection and you could get ripped off with little to no recourse. Unfortunately, in some cases, the terms-of-service advanced by some apps make it easier for people to rip others off.
