I have that growing in some of my pastures, too. By and large, the goats leave it alone. I have seen a few plants with bites taken out. I don't worry, as long as they have plenty of other things to eat. This is the time of year to begin really keeping an eye on pasture raised goats, though. Some forages are beginning to die back, and they may become hungry and pushed to eating things that aren't so good for them. Other forages lose a lot of their nutritional value in late summer and early fall, so though the goats may eat them, they are not getting all they need. I have begun offering hay to all of my goats, so they have an alternate food source if they aren't getting enough from the pasture.
