I haven't been ignoring this, just doing some research. I did find data to support the bovine dairy numbers. In tropical regions with cow density at 1 per hectare grazing on pretty poor grass give between 120-300 Kg of milk per year (Milk is typically measured by weight wholesale), using 180 seems low but not total unreasonable. My data on goat production gives me about 1248 Kg per goat, but this is for goats in Oklahoma eating a high nutrition diet. Also, I am not sure how many goats per hectare is reasonable.

So I am still at odds what sounds good here.
