[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 451592, member: 539"] To your first question - a resounding NO! Our alfalfa field was much more productive as a hay field, rather than a grazing source. Too much potential damage to the field - due to grazing, too much potential damage to the cattle due to bloat. I would think alfalfa would come under the usual guidelines for animal units grazing/acre - but, I'm not sure about that. Why would you want to risk your field or the health of your cattle? Unless this is a very small field, with low output, it would make better sense to find an alternative source of feed than to put your field at risk with hay prices being what they are in most areas. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
