[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15052"] Cattle can BLOAT on Alfalfa and other such feed, especially when damp from dew and jucy and succulent. That said, I have seen about 20 young steers grazed on a 40 acre patch that had been cut for it's last seasonal cutting and then had a few inch dusting of snow. They were digging through (nosing through?) the snow and eating what was available. Some supplemental baled alfalfa was spread and fed in the field on a regular basis. They did well through the winter and the field suffered little or no damage as they were removed prior to the Spring thaw. Dunmovin can prolly give you a better answer, as he's had greater experience. Eaglewerks > is it ok to let cow calf (beef) > graze on alfalfa field ? thanks > Mark.
