Cut it before it flowers, once the clover begins to flower the protein content of the plant is lowered because of producing seeds/ flowers. Cut it before a good rain to prevent it from burning or wilting in the sun.
Do not cut it to less than 8 inches at this time of year.

Deer like new growth I cut mine every few weeks and that is up here in Wi. when you mow it gets thicker. good to cut to 6" high. Try cutting every other row and see what are the best results you want nice green fresh leaves
