Does anyone know if alfalfa is safe to feed deer during the winter? We've been feeding alfalfa for about 10 years now and they seem to love it. I've just been told to stop because the stalks in the baled alfalfa are too hard and will puncture a deers stomach. I spend alot of time in late winter and spring looking for sheds and can say I've never found a dead deer anywhere near my place. If alfalfa is bad for the deer why would most outfitters in Canada risk hurting their deer herd by feeding it to them?
What about timothy? I've also heard the same about that.
