Austin Goats Eat Poison Ivy | Austin News

Austin’s goats are back—naturally tackling poison ivy and overgrowth along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, turning eco-friendly landscaping into a hoof-powered spectacle. These furry landscapers roam freely this weekend near the Texas Rowing Center, munching invasive plants in hard-to-reach spots without chemicals or heavy machinery. Visitors can watch them work Saturday and Sunday—but keep your hands to yourself: they’re coated in poison ivy oil. Want to sponsor one? The Adopt-a-Goat program lets you chip in $25 monthly—or $250 for a goat tote bag and name certificate. It’s nature’s solution, with a side of charm—and a win-win for trails and trail lovers alike.
