Hi Carrie,
Goats love Bamboo.  Leaves at least.  All my Bamboo in their  field is 'Goat 
pruned' at least to 6 feet.  It is a wonderful winter green  for them and 
they 
help me clean the harvested Bamboo for other uses.
That being said, Bamboo is an environmental disaster if you do not have a  
plan.  It is important to know that Goats do not stop the spread of  Bamboo.  
It 
can be extremely invasive.  Investigate Bamboo thoroughly  before you plant, 
once a spreading Bamboo takes hold it is very hard to  remove.  Be sure to 
look at the clumping Bamboo's and see if they will  work for your fence line. 
All the best,
John Herndon
