20 acres is not enough land to graze and grow food stores for ten dairy goats.

Might want to talk with Joel Salatin about that. I think he’s down to 1 acre/cow.

Have you seen Kudzu in the South?

I tend to think you’re right.

Started out with 18 angora goats, 5 years later had 80. You feed goats more than pasture, once a day they get grained, and always have hay in the barn for munchies. All on a 10 1/0 acres, but that was about the limit...put up a couple thousand bales of hay in the spring and summer. Mostly for winter. It was fun.....but they were not milking goats, only had milk for their kids and were weaned at about 3-4 months and mama dried up...
