The goats will eat the poison ivy leaves but they won't kill it unless the animals are penned in the area permanently. The plant will return from the root so without continued animal pressure on it, it'll just keep coming back.

If there is an actual real good non-herbicide solution for getting rid of poison ivy, I haven't found it yet.
