  3. we have had it all.pigs,cows,goats,horses,mules even,not worth it today,unless you want a couple,other wise just put up a fence a small shed,feeding area,and place for water, but then theres shots,wormers.grain,hey. ear tags,yearly reports on what you own,its the law,because of turburculosis. straw for bedding,and then if they get really sick,you may have to take them to the vet and that cost,believe me. then their care,maintence and they do need attention. so if I were you,I would visit a petting zoo or some farms,to see what it,s all about,believe me,you can go up to any farm and ask questions and the people will be more than willing to help,at least all the farmers we have ever known are like that. well good luck.
