It's not often that you look at a suburban backyard to find a man herding goats, but that is what people in one neighborhood in Louisville experience every day.

There are two types of mullet in Florida: One is a hairstyle made popular in the nineties, the other is a type of fish. We chose to focus on the latter in our latest Perennial Plate episode.
