Everything has about been covered below, but I will reiterate the need for good fences. Paige wire at least 6 feet tall (fairy heavy paige wire, too, not the thin stuff)is the bare minium. And nothing within 3 feet of the fence they can climb on to or they will be over the top of the fence. We had one that from a stone pile, reached out over three feet to hook her front feet unto the fence, then hooked one hind foot into the fence and over the top she went.

The advice about researching your local market possibilities and breed prefrences before spending any money is solid advice.
