Welcome to Backyard chickens. A lot of members have goats but, I'm afraid I know nothing about them.

Welcome. Being a herd master myself, I can only tell you to research diet, health & maintenance of goats.
Hoof trimming, urinary calculi, vaccinations, seasonal parasites internal/external.
I love my goats but they are not low maintenance as the general consensus may seem to be.
They keep me on my toes.

Just do your homework before taking the plunge.
You received some good advise about on where to search for your new additions. Good luck with your new adventure!

And don't forget fencing, fencing, fencing! Goats are escape artists and can/will get themselves into all sorts of situations.
