Thanks to you guys, I think I have decided on goats, Nigerian Dwarf Goats seem cute to me. Thanks for all your help guys!

SHEEP!!!! They are bot obnoxious like goats and they are very sweet animals. They don't tear down fencing, eat everything in sight and are really easy to raise.

I will never keep another goat.

Their poop just does not decompose at all! It's coming up on 2 years since I had my goat, and there are still little goat-pellets all over the place!

goats are great as pets and for milk, but i have a friend whose goats are ''reproducing like bunny rabbits'', twin births every time,lol

Goats are a good choice. So much to learn. As far as the poop, you got to clean up after the goats like any other animal/pen.

Goats also produce amazing fertilizer. After it's been left in a pile to decompose, it works wonders for my flowers. My aunt gave me some marigolds one year. I put the decomposed goat poo around them and they grew like crazy. I probably had over 40 flowers on one marigold plant. My aunt's marigold plants only had about 1-3 very small flowers on each of her plants. She came and got some of my goat poo dirt, and her flowers began to grow larger.

You sound like us, hunting beagles and quial are out specialty

Beagles are great dogs that are great compact little hunting companions and quail are fun to watch, good to eat, and make the cutest little white eggs(no different from tiny chicken eggs)

but I'm still sticking with the goat idea, if you have the space a coupla' goats is always a fun and useful idea...
