A high protein plant, also categorized as a legume, which is cut, dried and baled for cattle feed (mainly dairy because of the protein needed for milk production) or small rodents such as guinea pigs or hamsters. Alfalfa grows to typically a 1 meter (3 feet) height, but can have roots as deep as 4.5 meters (15 feet). It can also be used in to add flavor to foods for people such as in salmon or soup.

What is start Of Mice and Men about?

The start of 'Of Mice and Men' involves Lennie, and George, walking down through the brush towards a small cesspool. They stop to rest and both have a drink. They had both just left Weed because Lennie has stroked a womans dress, because he liked the texture. She accused him of rape, so they moved along to the next place; the ranch. Here, at the ranch, they decide to stay for the month to earn their keep and go buy their dream ranch, where there is Alfafa for Lennies rabbits, and their friends could come and go as they please. The story goes on from there.
