Will they eat wet pasture?

Sounds like they are just being picky and have plenty to eat. Sound like very lucky goats.

I'm not sure why some people say goats shouldn't graze...that's just not true. Goats can graze just like sheep, but they may prefer browse if both are available. My goats are expected to graze along with the sheep, and they do. Of course, goats are babies and they're more vocal if they're unhappy all the have is pasture (boo hoo) but I ignore them and they eat.

All the goats in our area are raised on pasture. We live in a valley of ranch lands and that's pretty much all there is! The breeder I got the 2 Boer goats from has many, many goats on a pasture. I got the Pygmy goats from a woman whose kids were moving on to other animals in 4H and the goats were raised on pasture...They seem just fine.

It's hard to get them all in one picture, but I got this super funny photo of one of our goats yesterday. My 2 year old son named him "Cow". Note my funny little chicken peeking out in the back ground! LOL
