Not that you asked, but my advice if you're going to get goats:
before you buy your first goat - install a GOOD fence system.
Don't cheap out and use thin gauge weldwire with skinny little posts 12' apart. They'll rub on it for months till it finally rips apart.
Cows will break out of an enclosure just out of dumb luck sometimes - goats on the other hand, they have magical powers, and an amazing amount of determination.
And once out they have a nack for finding what they're NOT supposed to eat. They will eat all your vegetables down to the roots in a matter of minutes, girdle your fruit trees the next minute, and destroy anything you have in the way of landscaping before you even know they've escaped.
I'm sure there's a difference between different types of goats. I have a small flock of nigerian dwarfs with a few pygmies. Mainly just pets/4h projects for the kids. Before I upgraded my fencing, I wasted sooooo many hours mending and patching fence.
It costs more up front to do it right the first time, but it's cheaper in the long run.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
