[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 760538, member: 7795"] Clovers make good forage. Should be less than 50% in the grazing mix to avoid problems with bloat. The amount of grazing you get will depend on your management goals. If you want it to reseed heavily, you need to keep the cattle off starting about now till the seed heads dry, at which time the Texas weather will have taken its toll on the clover plant also. If you continue to graze it should still be able to make some seed but will probably be a bit thin and may need a little reseeding for the next year. Probably will depend on grazing management as to it making adequate seed. Arrowleaf clover flower heads will contain many seeds. They will be about the size of radish or mustard seed. Here is a link to some information from OKState [url=http://forage.okstate.edu/text/arrowleaf.htm#description]http://forage.okstate.edu/text/arrowlea ... escription[/url] Bad photo but I took only this one so will have to make do.

[img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/005_Labled.jpg[/img] This is some that hasn't been grazed since late early April.
