Yep...I like that site. It even has how it works for each kind of livestock, the digestibility for them, etc. I've not found another one that was so complete. I'll be doing the WDC this year with just a little of the yellow sweet clover on the edges and up in the deer plot, just for funzies.
I've done the red before and it doesn't come back like the white and I expect this yellow won't come back like the white either, but it adds variety. I was surprised to know that honey bees don't utilize the red clover, so I stopped planting it because of those reasons~not drought tolerant, doesn't reseed well, not a bee attractant and has less protein than the white...and because it gets so TALL...that stuff can get 2 ft. tall!..so it didn't work in my garden pathways very well, though it might work better in a meadow.
Thanks so much, Bee! Looks like the red clover will do great for both meat birds and my egg layers! I find it fascinating that even though clover and alfalfa are rich in protein, fat, calcium and fiber and enrich soil with nitrogen, that many of the major ingredients in layer feeds are grains. I think using spent grains, forage seeds such as those in scratch, and grain by products you could make a rich chicken pellet out of mostly nitrogen fixing forage legumes. Just have to bring the crude fiber down!
