For the sixth straight year standing, the Tussey Mountain School District was once again named winner of PennDOT District 9/Laurel Highlands Region’s “Paint the Plow” safety outreach contest contest.
Roscoe and Jessica Taylor have three children and 18 goats at their Thompsontown home.
Everyone in the family works together to keep the goats happy, healthy, making milk and ready to show.
In 2016, the Taylors had bought a couple of goats from friends as pets. They soon decided to register the animals and show them through the Perry County 4-H Goat Club. All three of their children, Aidan Lherisson, 16, Lyssa, 10, and Ava, 7, have goats registered in their respective names. Jessica Taylor also shows the goats.
They began the process with two pregnant does, and later had five does. At the present time, they have five bucks and 13 does, nine of which are milking.
