How are they doing with the cold we have been having and the grazing pressure. We have no acorns and my clover is hammered. What variety is most cold tolerant?

Gave our clover a good dose of 0-20-20 back in Sept and they are still lookng good. Acorns starting to wind down, so plots are getting utilized more now. Deer are hitting the brassica as well.
My field of AlfaRack (alfalfa and imperial clover) always grows pretty good until the 1st of the year when it really slows down a lot. Stays green all Winter long though. Since I have something like 4 acres the deer never even make a dent in it.
My Durana plots look incredible. All the rain this summer made for some of the best clover plots I have ever had. The deer must like the way they look too, because they are wearing em out!
Mine aren't real big and they are absolutely clipped to the ground. Browse lines on honeysuckle and briars are very visible. All deer I am seeing now are in grown up fields and edges.
Probably not. Although its 70 degrees right now, we will have days/weeks of freezing temps before winter is over. Any young sprouts stand the chance of being damaged by any remaining freeze.
Crimson plots have been seeing hard use all fall, even though we had a pretty good acorn crop. Crimson handles the cold fairly well, but it is only an annual (although an excellent reseeder).
