Minnesota Trials Compare Sweet Clover Hay and Alfalfa For Stock
Minnesota experiment station trials show sweet clover hay fattening cattle about as well as alfalfa of strollar quality and similar results for winter beef cows, heifers, and lambs. Cutting with an ensilager cutter is advised for cattle but not for fattening lambs. Cut corn fodder plus silage and clover hay supports dry beef cows and heifers, while grain is needed to prevent weight loss in rations with roughage only. Linseed meat slightly boosts lamb gain but reduces overall profit. Prairie hay with lime and masetd teal proves unsatisfactory for fattening yearling steers and lambs.
