The fenced area saved me. It is quite inconvenient to graze goats every day, torn between the pasture and household chores, so I began to graze them in a fenced area. I just let them out there and they graze themselves. True, after some time they eat all the grass there)) What saved me was that this summer was rainy, and the soil there is heavily fertilized with manure, so the grass grew very actively, and all I did was alternate between them walking there and eating the grass that I mowed. Sometimes I brought them wheelbarrows with weeds pulled from the garden or trees with leaves cut down under power lines.
According to local regulations, no trees or tall bushes should grow under the power lines, because they grow and fall on the wires. As a result, they are constantly sawed down. I call this a "semi-parasitic lifestyle" - several kilometers of power lines go to the village, and I constantly receive free branches with leaves from there. Then the goats gnaw them, and I use the dried branches without bark and leaves as fuel for barbecue.
And I also learned one interesting thing - local goats are very willing to eat watermelons. As a result, since the end of summer I have been buying and eating watermelons, which are inexpensive here at this time of year, and giving the rinds to the goats. They gnawed them and ate them.
