No they don't.... my goats have done a wonderful clearance programme on my fields.   In the last 3 years they have stripped 6 acres clean.... far better than all the chemicals I was recommended when we moved here.
We even have clover in abundance which wasn't there before... at least not obvious !!

Be careful with clover and goats, we had one bloat after she pigged out on a patch, thought she was going to explode, touch and go for a while.

I've heard that before about clover and goats. Was a bit worried to find a patch growing in our paddock  :-\
