Peggy Rathmann and John Wick at their ranch in Nicasio
"Economically, if you compare the full cost of purchasing and applying Transline to the small cost of training cows to feed themselves on a nutritious plant like distaff -- well, training cows is the smarter move hands down. When you spend a few dollars training your cows how to reap forage benefits from a weed, it's all good, there's no down side." - John Wick, Nicasio Native Grass Farm

Turn a Problem Into a Forage and Feed Your Cows While Reducing Costs!

It's SO easy and it doesn't take that much time out of your day. I don't know why more people aren't doing it.

Ten hours over ten days, and you could be done with weed management for years. Here's what it takes:

an hour a day for four days getting your cows used to trying new foods,
an hour a day for three days, picking, mixing and feeding weeds to your cows
a little time building a trial pasture for days 8 - 10.
Then turn your cows loose and you're done.

The training process I developed in 2004 is based on the science of animal behavior. The steps are adaptable and can be used by anyone. Check out the Videos describing how training works or see News & Articles for more about cows and weeds.
