Howdy. Anyone fed yellow or green peas? I’m kinda looking for a way out of alfalfa for a protein source. I’m elergic to it and iv seen it as high as 220/ton this year. Simply had enough. Iv been looking into peas. Seen there up to 28-30 protein and energy around the same energy as corn. That kills two birds in one stone. Trying to build a ration consisting of ground corn stalks and peas. Just a simple lactation/last stages of pregnancy ration for sheep. I’m in NE Colorado so I know peas are grown to the north of us. But can’t get it out of anyone exactly what elevator might carry them. Any thought or ideas on this??


What part of the alfalfa are you allergic to?

Its too late now but if you got yourself some oats cut and baled dry with the oats at boot stage that would be high protein and feed really well.
Likely wouldn't be cheap though.
If all you're looking for is cheap then I would suggest you find a cheap source of soymeal.
I've fed mixed peas/lentils and the sheep like them but found that ddgs was more economical.
DDGS being cheaper would depend upon what you can get them for though.
