Description
Hello Everyone,

I have a small patch of my yard fenced off that has poison ivy.

I would like to have someone drop off 2-3 goats for a weekend to help clear the poison ivy.

If anyone is interested please PM me.

I seriously doubt that since deer don't eat it and they are also "browsers"

So I guess I learned something too, darn wish the deer ate it, plenty of it around, but I guess they prefer my day lilies and hostas.

I've had um eat poison ivy but in a short time exposure only eat tops not roots & grows back . If left to eat all the time eventually plant dies of
starvation . Never had any issues with the goats . Luck

My friend moved to a house that was left empty for a long time. Barn some property. Fenced in area for livestock was Overrun with poison ivy. Goats solved it in one season.

I am just worried about how noisy goats can be. The neighbour across the road has sheep but I have read that goats are noisier. Any truth to that or does it depend on the individual goats?
