Shady Lawn

Shady Lawn, LaMancha goats in Brooksville, KY, calls Bracken County and the Ohio Valley near Cincinnati home. They have bred purebred LaMancha goats for more than ten years, maintain registration with the American Dairy Goat Association and uphold breeding records that track lineage and health testing results. Herd members graze on lush pasture at the foot of rolling hills, and indoor facilities include heated kidding pens and separate play yards to encourage natural behaviors.

Goats born on the farm are reared in a relaxed, family atmosphere, with careful monitoring during kidding season and year-round enrichment through daily handling. Rapid socialization leads to calm, approachable does prized for consistent milk quality, while the Hitches emphasize udder health and genetic diversity in their selection process.

Visitors often note the goats’ gentle manner when exploring pasture by their side and admire the farm’s respectful approach to land stewardship. Local dairy events have included their goats among top milk producers at the county fair, reflecting steady progress in herd development.
