That’s what Joe Morris of San Juan Bautista, California said about teaching cows to eat weeds. Joe attended one of my presentations in 2007.  He took good notes and later that spring he taught his cows to eat milk thistle.  In this video he describes his training experience.

Joe noticed that his trainees didn’t stop at eating just the target weed. “The bonus was that they ate not only the milk thistle in the pasture, but they ate Italian thistle in the pasture, and black mustard.  And they ate it with gusto,” he said.

Not everyone takes notes as well as Joe did. So I’ve made it easier for you to get started with my book, Cows Eat Weeds. Check it out and get your cows eating weeds this summer!
