[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 404621, member: 6007"] Well, my haying partner and I have about 30 acres of red clover we somehow or other seem to have inherited from an old couple who want their field kept clean. I have been using it as feed now for nearly five years with no ill effects. I just grab up the bales and set them out on the ground and let the cows eat until the bales are gone. It is difficult to dry if the weather is humid and it goes black if rained on. Do not worry about the colour - the cows still seem to love it. We just - as always - free choice it - so who knows how much they eat per day - when it is gone I replace it - pretty simple. I do not worry about mixing with grass - this stuff is in the feed pile - when I get to clover they eat clover - when it is done they move on to whatever grass is next in the pile. Do not let it get real mature before cutting if you can help it. Bez> [/QUOTE]
