Hi. I'm new here. I've been debating getting goats and chickens. I live in hot, sunny Arizona. Like, two feet from Hell, hot. I'm in the city. I have a large backyard that the goats would be sharing with three dogs (chow/shepard mix, Italian Greyhound, and Chihuahua, my 9 y/o and all of her friends, and a bunch of Pre-school aged daycare kids. Of course the goats and chicks would have their own gated area. I'm looking for a decent amount of milk, not a huge amount. A fairly quiet goat (neighbors) would be best. And a fairly gentle mannered breed that would be good when little children visit it. Oh, and one that is know to tolerate dry, 100 plus degree summers. So, sell me on your favorite breed, please.
We had pygmy goats a few years ago for my daughter's 4H project, so I know a little about goat care. I'm sure I'll be picking your brains a lot. Thanks in advance.
