O.K. we are going to be putting some clover in this year. We have fenced off 150-160 acres of the property we hunt so the cattle cant get to it(they werent in this area last year, made sure of it this year!). We've also fenced in a few areas that are about an acre each in the areas the cattle will be roaming(we plan on openning these to the cattle on a periodic basis throughout the summer).

We have been talking to a local cattle rancher, he has checked the soil and says the ph is good to plant without any liming. He has planted over 3000 acres in this general area with very good success. I want to know if the clovers he is using for cattle would be the same as what we want to put down for deer? Also does a clover field have to be mowed?
