I'd say a lot of the decision would be based on your environment and whether you want an annual or perennial. Also have to decide how much fertilizer you want to use and how much animal traffic will be on it. Local extension agent would be a great help.
Nebraskas ecosystems change a lot from one end of the state to the other so knowing what will work best for your situation is hard to say.

Bahai grass is highly recommended as is brome, fescue and rye. They also suggest some legume with clover or alfalfa being the two preferred choices. Grasses are great in spring and later summer. Legumes hold up better during the hot and drier summer. Meat goat associations may have websites with their advice as well.

I thought goats were browse animals

Goats usually perform on improved pastures and prefer browse to grass (a diet of >80% browse). Browse (leaves and twigs of trees and shrubs) generally contain higher levels of crude protein and phosphorus during their growing season than do grasses.

Goats, sheep and cattle graze differently by selecting plants and plant parts to satisfy nutrient demands. Goats are classified as browsing animals, whereas, cattle are classified as grazing animals; sheep are somewhat intermediate. When allowed to choose freely, goats select about 30% grasses and legumes, 10% weedy plants, and 60% browse while sheep diets typically include 50% grasses and legumes, 30% weeds, and 20% browse; grazing cattle select diets that contain 70% grasses and legumes, 20% weedy plants, and 10% browse.

dont know what about goats but do know the first thing i do is roundup the ground so the plant you want to start has no competition id run a ph test. lime is a starting point for a good crop way more than fertilize. also, if it calls for 20 lbs per acre plant 23 good luck and have fun

Ours eat the weeds, shrubs, etc long before any grasses.

Contact Ernsts Seeds from PA Very knowledgeable and helpful.

What treed said, use goats to clean up overgrown brushy pasture and overseed grasses, for your environment, for your followup animals, usually cattle, but can be sheep, hair types won't need shearing and generally taste better

Goats and sheep benefit more than cattle from regular rotation due to gut worms that can build up on the soil if not rotated.
