The included link happens to be a seed house that is near me & specializes in not so common seeds. They offer several grazing type alfalfas. These do not grow quite as fast but the crown stays lower in the ground so they do not get as damaged by grazing. Also, they have alfalfa types that seed themselves with runners. Again, less rapid growth, but keep growing a while in a pasture enviornment. Some alfalfa"s like Wrangler hold up a lot better in a wet enviornment, which often describes a pasture around "here". Have you looked into Bird"s foot trefoil? It is a legume (fixes N) but does not cause bloat. It does not hay very well, but is great for grazing in a pasture mix. I"m sure you know the dangers of grazing alfalfa... Having said all that, I have a 2 acre patch that I seeded left over alfalfa seed in over 10 years ago. I park my machinery there. Put a wire around it & graze it to the ground several times a year. Can"t kill it. It must like getting to seed stage every once in a while, then not harmed by the excessive grazing at other times. So, what you pick will depend upon your management style. I"m sure you can find something close to your climate that offers similar products for you. --->Paul
