What to feed my goats...

I'm wondering if my goats need anything specific. They are on pasture all day. There's always hay outside and inside as well and I just feed a very small amount of oats and molasses at breakfast and supper. Just basically to call it meal time. They are not milking or breeding. Just barn pets for now.
I've been reading a lot of these stories and it seems like they are very touchy animals.

Goats are touchy if you are hoping for high milk production. There's a lot of things to learn if you are taking care of dairy animals.

If you have nice mutt goats to look at and eat the browse around your place, they are fine. I'd omit the molasses, as it's not good for their digestion.
