Ladino clover pasture proves its worth in dairy and sheep trials
State pasture specialists report Ladino clover yields higher roughage and better digestibility than other pastures. In a 1949 dairy heifer study, Ladino grass mixtures matched a 70 percent total digestible nutrient value, placing Ladino in the concentrate class alongside corn. A Raleigh trial from 1949 50 shows seven feeder lambs per acre producing about 136 pounds of lamb per acre with November to February grazing. Pasture economics and long term benefits for crop yields are noted.
