Do they have toys? Goats love to play and climb, so if the manure pile is the highest point in their pasture, that might be where they go to get a vantage point.
If you don’t already, I would put some better climbing things in their pen, such as picnic tables, plastic children’s furniture, or those giant wooden spools that electrical cables usually come on.
