I recently purchased 10 acres of mixed old-field and poor-quality woodlands that we have our house on. Assuming I get the fence in better working order, do you feel that 10 acres is enough for my wife to at least make a small income off dairy goats? She'd love to quit her job and stay at home with kids while doing the milking/marketing/driving product.
TLDR can we pull a profit off 10 acres, and how many goats would you suggest to start with?
Is it actually dangerous to have goats on leashes throughout the day or is that something that people just say?
