Alfalfa Hay

[asu-indian]

Does anyone feed it. Thoughts?

[chillymac]

yea ,our deer love it. they will eat a small bale in 3 or 4 days.

[Texas Grown]

I do; late season. And the hogs ain't figured out what the deer are eating. So, they just leave.

[bsills]

Yes and whitetails and axis like it.

Tried it once and neither the deer or hogs ever ate it. Guess they did not know what it was.

It gets eaten where we are until the Auodad find it! Then it’s gone!!

[Bayouboy]

Yes.

We keep it out all year. Sometimes they hammer it. Sometimes they just lay in it lol.

Pretty much the same for me in Blanco Co. The deer nibbled a *tiny* bit, but that's about it. At today's prices, it's a pretty poor source of nutrition for the dollar.

I put out a couple tons a year. It gets eaten quickly

[asu-indian]

I know they'll eat it on our place right now. These are at the homestead on our KS lease but its really dry this year and the cattle have things eaten down to dirt. So I'm not sure what will happen on a wet year but I'm going to try it.

I put some out a couple times at my lease in Shackelford and they didn’t touch it.

Does anyone know where to get “round” bales of alfalfa hay in Central TX? I only see the small rectangle bales. Do they even bother to make round bales down this way?

Most of the alfalfa we buy comes from out of state, like New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. They do make a large “square” bale but I’ve not seen alfalfa round bales in my travels to Rocky Mountain states?
