[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1783521, member: 968"] I rotational graze. They get a paddock for 3 to 5 days. The goal is to never over graze and never let the fields head out. In the early spring grazing, we can't keep up with growth, so we hay some of our paddocks. In the fall, we have very heavy dew, I have seen a whole herd bloat from some stray Alfalfa patches left over from the paddock being a hay field. I have never seen that with clover, but you would if it was straight clover field. Generally, around here, only dairymen plant Alfalfa. Very expensive crop, but you can hay it almost every 30+ days ( 4 cuttings - usually green chopped). They will get super high protein levels for their dairy cows. Way more expense and too high protein for beef herds. [/QUOTE]
