The UK Forage and Beef Groups have recently completed a major update of the national publication Alfalfa for Beef Cows. This effort was in cooperation with the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance. Alfalfa for Beef Cows provides producers in KY and around the country with a comprehensive guide to utilizing alfalfa in beef cattle pasture, hay and silage systems. It includes recent history of the crop, growth and agronomic management, forage quality, nutrition balancing, management tips to reduce bloat, and other useful guidelines. This publication incorporated the authors over 85 years of professional extension expertise to develop a comprehensive guide for using alfalfa in beef cattle rations.
