  • Summary

  • Today, we’re diving into the lush world of red clover and its game-changing impact on dairy rations. We talk with Juan Romero, Forage Specialist at the University of Maine, and recurring guest, Glenda Pereira, University of Maine Dairy Extension Specialist. We’ll explore how Freedom Red Clover boosts forage quality, why hitting that sweet spot of at least seven layers for baleage wrapping is non-negotiable, and the consequences of jumping the gun on opening your silo or pile. Plus, we’ll break down the fascinating role of phytoestrogens in your herd’s diet. Don’t miss this clover-packed episode—let’s get started!
