does anyone else have their goats on such surface.
with us there is a little grass here and there mainly brambles and what have you.
how often do you worm your goats when they are on this ground.
unfortunaly we dont have the grounds to rotate them

Do a worm count (incl fluke in that), then if your ground has not had goats/sheep on it in the last 12 to 18 months you should be fine if their worm count is low.

If you don't bring in new goats/sheep there is not much of a chance to get in worms I think. The do a worm count once a year. Hay doesn't bring in worms, only freshly cut grass would, silage should be ok too.

Agree with all Anke has said. I don't know anyone who keeps their goats on stoney ground, but I have known people who keep them mostly inside with access to a paved or concrete yard, and all that Anke has said works for that.

as said there is some grass there but the previous owners kept their goats on same plot.
they have their brambles and hedge to nibble on.
