This is 'goldenrod' or, 'Solidago'. We have it too. I googled it for being toxic to goats, and it said it's only 'mildly toxic, but animals suffer no ill effects.' I know our goats have (tasted) it too, but decided they don't like it, and now leave it be.
Since goats are browsers, they'll taste a variety of things, but only eat some of them. I know the deer don't eat the goldenrod that grows around here...
I bet if you watch your goat, you'll see he's not eating it after his initial 'taste test'.
