Just a suggestion, goats are a flock animal and will be very insecure if only 1, I would suggest at least 2 for company....they will do better...they also need to be protected from predators and stray dogs....depending on what part of the country you live in, check into the type of salt they need...here in Michigan I had to have specific salt (I think it was selenium) because the great lakes area does not have the salts that they need that that would get from what they eat...(Like for humans, there is no iodine in the soil that's why you have iodized salt)

Thats good to know, I was thinking one or two, my better half was thinking one, two it will be.
I’m not sure which breed I want yet but hope to find some local breeders. Most of my place is fenced with field fence and topped with barbed wire, plus I have a couple of jennies who would protect them, once they got to know the goats as theirs. Thanks again Goat Granny!!!
