herbs for goats and sheep?

I have about 1/8 acre cleared that I am contemplating planting medicinal herbs for goats and sheep. It would be used as a temporary grazing field-like let them in for a few hours and then back to pasture. What would you plant if you could grow things that would be good for their health?

Any info would be appreciated. Also, are morning glories good or bad for these animals? They are also in this area.

Thanks,

Harplade

I just had my first experience using raspberry leaves.I had a goat who had afterbirth hanging out for 24hrs.I gave her several canes of blackraspberry and she stripped the leaves and passed the afterbirth within and hour.
