Cows like alfalfa a lot and are fed it along with other grasses in their diet. “Candy” as dairy farmer Don McEacheron likes to call it. The McEacherons grow their alfalfa separately from their hay so they can properly ration it. Too much “candy” and a cow can get bloated…mmm, sounds like a good reason not to eat too much candy!
