These steps work because they're based on the science that tells us how animals learn what to eat. They're designed to make it as quick and easy as possible to get your livestock out in the pasture eating weeds. Because behavior principles are universal, these steps work for cows, goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, or whatever animal you're raising.

1. Know your weed.
    Nutritous = Palatable     Toxins = Reduced intake or illness

2. Choose the right animals to train.
    Young, female, manageable number

3. Reduce the fear of new foods
    Create positive experiences with new foods. Make the unfamiliar seem familiar.

4. Practice in pasture.
    Help animals learn to harvest weeds by creating a good learning environment.
