Could be from them moving to your place and eating the different greens. Probably watch it and see if it improves. I know when we change bales some of our goats get a bit clumpy but goes back to regular poop after a few days!

I wouldn't be worried, just watchful. When my goats go out on pasture for the first time in the spring we get a lot of "dog logs".

Any tips or advice for cleaning up goat berries in their pin? And anyone know why they aren't eating the grass down, I'm assuming they don't like what we have and that was half of the argument that won out getting them.. They are supposed to eat down our pasture. While I know we have way to much for just these two we have plans on getting more asap. But I won't have much of a chance if they don't start doing their job. lol :th

Do they still get the bottle? Do they have free choice hay? What breed are they?

I am surprised that they aren't gobbling up that clover. But goats are browsers and not grazers, and that being said grass is not at the top of their food chain. But over time they will start to nibble on it and it will be much shorter than vacant fields around you. Plus, you need more goats.
