Lateral Thinking Mystery

A farmer is trying to cross the river with some of his livestock and a couple vegetables. He has two wolves, a sheep, and a bunch of cabbages. He is crossing in his boat, and only has space for one thing. If he leaves the cabbage with the sheep, it will eat it. If he leaves the sheep and a wolf, it will eat the sheep. How can he get all of the livestock safely over the river?

(look out. a toughie)
