[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1033050, member: 18809"] Ok, so does anyone have first hand knowledge of clover bales? We want to take a second cutting, and after the first in May the clover came in like gangbusters! It is red clover, and we planted it with rye last fall at 20%, but it is obvious it went in a bit stronger! Here is my dilemma, the rain has stopped over the last 10 days, and the fescue and rye has stopped growing, but NOT the clover! Our field has at least 90% clover, knee high at least, right now. I sure do not want to graze it, for fear of bloat in the cattle. What kind of hay will almost straight clover make? Will it shatter, or make nice round bales? We told our guy that bales for us that we want a second cutting, but that it is a ton of clover. He knows it takes longer to dry, I just wonder what kind of hay it will make.... That field usually yields about 3.8 rounds (4 x 5.5) per acre, can you expect that with clover? Thanks for any advice.... [/QUOTE]
