They like clover

[Brittany Chukarman]

For several years I've been developing a pasture on a sage brush bench across from the house. It's grown to about 5 acres now. Early this Spring I broadcast a few patches of Ladino clover on the frost heave ground. The deer really like it and now the elk have found it. They leave well before sunup but that's ok, it's just good to give something back.

I plant Alsike clover with my timothy and Brome. They leave at daylight but that first year it is tough to have hay to cut.
