When Kathy Voth set out to invent a method for training cows to eat weeds, she started by taking a close look at the last century of animal behavior research. Then she took all the different pieces and translated them into an easy-to-understand process that adapts easily to any producer’s needs.
Kathy has now trained over 1000 cows to eat many of our most problematic weeds, adapting her process for small herds of 10 cows to as many as 110 pairs, for dry lot and pasture, and for novice and experienced producers. Her book, “Cows Eat Weeds” was published in 2010 and her articles appear in BEEF magazine, Stockman Grass Farmer, and Acres USA.
Kathy is known for her entertaining and inspiring presentation style that includes lots of video, unusual “snacks” and examples from producers she’s worked with. |
