Pasture rotating

We don't have a ton of space for all these critters but we do have enough room to fence off a new patch for the goats to graze on.
Thing is, it was where I planned to plant tomatoes this year and all winter long we've been putting rabbit droppings on that ground.
Should we find a new space to move the goats to or will they be safe following rabbits?

They will be safe.
Most parasites are specific to one or two species

Thank you. I'm on high parasite alert these days-as I'm sure most of us are all the time.

Doesn't sound like there should be any problem.
