Main variable is going to be the protein content of the alfalfa. Really impossible to balance completely until you know that from a forage test. Some years I had to throw a little soybean meal or distillers dried grain in to make up for marginal alfalfa.

I've also used shelled corn/oats/alfalfa on a 1/3-1/3-1/3. (I buy shelled corn and oats to mix whole on site for the horses).

I've thought, if I went back to creep feeders, of using corn gluten pellets 60/40 with alfalfa. Probably wont though, I never pushed mine real hard 2-1/2-3 # a day as a goal. Been getting better than 2 the past 2 years on round baled silage of red clover and orchardgrass cut 1st of May. Planned on using the corn gluten pellets with it but had to stop, geting them too fat.
