Before getting a dairy animal, consider: do I want to spend 30 minutes every single morning and every single evening, regardless of weather, vacation time, desire to travel, or illness, to get 1-2 gallons of milk per day?
Small-scale dairy requires a huge commitment of time at regular, consistent times. It is about as far from a casual hobby as you can get.
(Source: my wife wanted a dairy goat. We no longer have goats.)
