Value of Alfalfa for Sheep Pasturing and Feeding
Alfalfa proves profitable for sheep when carefully managed to avoid bloat. Begin with dry feed, limit pasture time, and gradually increase exposure. Across trials alfalfa fed lambs gained faster and used less feed per 100 lb gain than timothy or prairie hay, with some tests favoring alfalfa over clover and cowpea for better finish and higher profit.
