â¢ Mow your lawn so that the grass sits above the soil line. Ideally, it should stand at an inch to an inch and a half. This will allow your grass seed to get adequate sunlight and connect with the soil. â¢ Next, use a thatch rake or power rake to remove any thatch that you find, a process called dethatching.
1 Ornamental fescue varieties for lawns often contain endophytes which can cause health problems, including fatal toxicity, in livestock. Always use fescue varieties intended for livestock.  Goats should not be grazed extensively on pure stands of clover, due to the risk of bloating from the richness of the forage.
Goats as a species are very susceptible to internal parasites, especially stomach worms. In parts of the United States that are warm and wet, the stomach worm to be concerned about is Haemonchus contortus, also known as the Barberpole worm. This worm feeds on blood; if untreated, it causes anemia and death.f goats are forced to graze grasses like cattle and sheep, they will ingest stomach worms. Goats have the fastest metabolisms of all ruminants (except deer) and are picky eaters; they like the newest, tenderest, and most most nutritious plant materials -- the ones growing closest to the ground where the worms are.
