My fiance and I went to the state fair on Friday and I absolutely fell in love with the goats. And not just the babies. I especially liked the Nubian and Nigerian dwarf goats.

I was wondering if anyone here has goats. If you do, I have a few questions.

1) What are some ups and downs of having goats?

2) What would be considered a small herd?

3) About how much does it cost to feed a small herd?

4) Housing requirements?

5) Food requirements?

6) Pictures?

I want to remind anyone that reads this or posts, that I have absolutely NO intention of getting goats for many years. My fiance said we could have goats after medical school and after we get a house, so this is just for informational purposes only. Kind of a "find out if its something I'm interested in doing" post.
