Indiana state board of accounts ruled that goats are “other livestock” under the dog fund law. When a neighbor’s dog damages a goat, the township trustee must compensate the owner from township funds. The goat’s value cannot exceed its market cash value, and goats have legitimate everyday uses including flesh milk hair and hides.
