I agree with Anna! Like the farmer who won the lottery said when he was asked what he would do with all the money. "I'll just keep farming until it's all gone," he said.
Seriously though, starting small is a good idea. Chickens are great, and if you loose a bunch because you didn't know that coyotes and raccoon will kill them you're not out a huge bunch of money, yet they can provide you with lots of food. There's a great website called the feather site that has a lot of information about poultry.
When I was a kid, our neighbor's dairy farm was sold to a couple from Chicago who were going to become farmers. They lived their whole life in the city and knew nothing about animals and farm life. He was a hard worker, but the lessons he had to learn were somewhat overwhelming. One day he came over to our place and said he had a sick cow. I went over and there she was bellering like mad. I told him she was in heat, just call the technician and get her bred. He did survive, and became and pretty good farmer, but he had many supportive neighbors who helped him learn.
Others have given you some good advise here, learn what you can about each animal you intend to have. Observe and learn from people near you who have been successful. Then have fun!
