Is it a problem to feed alfalfa hay to cattle?
Not really, but sometimes it can be, especially if you don't know when to feed it to cattle. Feeding alfalfa hay (straight alfalfa, mind you, with no grass) when cattle are really hungry will invite problems with bloat. Though the bloat won't be as severe as if you put them on fresh alfalfa, it still will be serious enough that you can't let it go untreated. Thus most producers prefer to feed hay that includes grass mixed in with alfalfa to have that extra roughage content so cattle won't bloat as readily.
