Is it okay for goats to eat Ivy? Isn't it slightly poisonous?

They graze on this everytimecwe walk by and have never had a problem. I wouldn't let them eat like an acre or anything, most stuff gets bad if its too much.

Its also hard to find solid "yes/no" lists. I'd heard black locust was really bad, and that it was OK. My guys got out one day and ate 3 saplings to the bark. Turns out its ok and they love it.

I also googled it real quick. Happy to learn goats can eat it and yours like it :)

Poison ivy only affects people. You can actually rent out goats specifically to get rid of poison ivy.
