[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1305772, member: 12607"] Yes, you can mix clover - and other small legume seed, like birdsfoot trefoil - into feed/mineral, and some will come up in/around manure pats... but distribution will be pretty crappy (pun intended), and I'm sure overall germination rate will be far below what's stated on the label. At $4.00/lb that clover seed is an awfully expensive feed supplement, even if some % passes through and germinates. For the most part, grass seeds are not going to be as successfully distributed in a 'feed-through' experiment as would small 'hard' legume seed. If all I had was 8 acres, it would be a simple matter of 'walking' seed on, with a cyclone-type seeder slung over my shoulder. You'd hardly even break a sweat, and you'd get a lot better results than feeding seed to cows. [/QUOTE]
