Goats are browsers not grazers. They lie weeds, but not ike you would classify weeds since sheep like weeds too, Goats will browse on shrubs, tree leaves, scrub, desert brush, etc.

Two goats on an acre should be alright if you manage it a bit. They do like weeds and brush more than grass, but if they stay in one spot too long, they’ll eat everything down, grass included.
Rotating them or giving the pasture breaks helps a lot. Throwing in some hay now and then also keeps the ground from getting wiped out.
