L. E. Fish (trust)

Ballylara Farms raises dairy goats on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, on the Highland Rim region not far from Nashville. The herd was established in 2013 with a deliberate search for foundation animals selected for coloration, milking characteristics, temperament, and conformation.

The farm maintains a closed herd that has been veterinarian-tested via blood draw for CAE, Caseous Lymphadenitis, Johne's, Brucellosis, and TB, with all results returning negative. Animals are registered with both the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) and the American Goat Society (AGS), making them eligible for additional registration with the Nigerian Dairy Goat Association depending on a buyer's show goals. The farm has participated in NAILE, the North American International Livestock Exhibition in Louisville.

Feed and pasture management are a clear priority at Ballylara Farms: the herd receives certified organic or non-GMO Mennonite-milled feed, grazes on pasture that has never been treated with synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and is fed hay sourced specifically to be free of herbicides and chemical treatments. All kids are disbudded by a licensed veterinarian under sedation, microchipped, and tattooed — a standard the farm holds to out of concern for animal welfare. Anyone searching for dairy goat breeders in Kentucky will find that Ballylara Farms' emphasis on documented health testing, clean-feed husbandry, and dual-registry genetics sets its program apart from more casual operations in the region.
