The deer and Turkeys are loving it from all I can tell. The lespedeza comes on slower than clover and will grow best when its too hot for the clover. The reason for the mix is twofold...Lespedeza will grow where clover will not. pH is not critical to lespedeza. Lespedeza is a fall grower and seed producer, clover is spring so you have two shots at good seed production to maintain your legume mix, and Lespedeza will still be excellent forage for deer clear up to and past frost.
