[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1386856, member: 1715"] I have some 7 ph hill sides with K over 300 ppm. Alfalfa, and chicory are some deep rooted options for these droughty hill sides. This forage would be for growing, not finishing, cattle. Alfalfa is not a great grazing plant and I only use it if heavily if clover does not like a location. Cattle are not sold on green alfalfa, the protein can be too high, it needs lots of K, and it doesn't reseed well. The way I work around this with high population stands is to either wrap it wet early, or let it go to full bloom and then pound it flat with cattle. Really pisses off a few folks but the worms have to eat too. [/QUOTE]
