Alfalfa Pasture for Livestock How It Boosts Pork Returns
Alfalfa pasture proves valuable for livestock, with ten pounds of green alfalfa yielding about one pound of pork. An acre weighing 26,000 pounds can produce roughly 2,000 pounds of pork at five cents per pound, assuming corn and alfalfa are fed together. Early cut hay offers higher nutrient value, and alfalfa compares favorably with wheat bran or soy products in digestible protein. It is cheaper to feed alfalfa and marketable as hay for horses, hogs, beef, and dairy, with market returns often matching soil value. Farmers should sell hay when able to feed the stock instead and avoid waste.
