Can a single full sized goat be satisfied being kept with two dwarf goats?

You should watch to make sure that the larger goat is not hogging all the food. I have two separate feeders so that the dominate goats crowd at the first feeder then I feed the lower status goats and the sheep at the second feeder. My smaller goats boss around my full sized sheep. This is more of an issue with larger herds.

Yep, you should keep an eye on who is eating too much. All my ND's are fat, and eat more than my Alpine. I feed my Alpine separately while I'm milking her.

Absolutely! We have decided instead of re vamping out old goat house that we are actually going to build a pretty decently sized 2 or 3 stall barn. This should make it easier to feed / separate / control if any issues do arise.

I can't wait for goat day--- I am so excited!!!
