Sainfoin is well suited for dryland if it receives at least 13 inches of annual precipitation. Yeilds in these conditions should be around 1.5 tons/acre. This all depends on the amount of rainfall and the time of year it comes down.

About Sainfoin,-- Onobrychis viciifolia, Scop., is a perennial forage legume that was introduced into North America as an alternative to alfalfa, Medicago sativa L. Sainfoin does not cause bloating in livestock, is comparatively drought-resistant, and is not attacked by several economically important alfalfa insect pests.

Sainfoin is a non-bloating legume that has nitrogen fixation capabilities and can be used in a forage mixture. Sainfoin also is extremely palatable and nutritious for all classes of livestock and wildlife. Livestock actually prefer sainfoin even when other plants species are readily available. Other uses include wildlife habitat restoration, wildlife food plots or as a legume component in the conservation reserve program (CRP). Sainfoin is often compared to alfalfa based on its nitrogen fixation, forage capabilities, and nutritional value. The main advantages of sainfoin are the earlier maturation rate, non-bloating qualities, resistance to the alfalfa weevil and higher digestible nutrients when compared to alfalfa. Another important advantage over alfalfa is that sainfoin is resistant to the root rot phase. The earlier maturation allows for earlier spring forage for grazing and hay cutting which is beneficial to livestock operations (Gray, 2004, p. 2).

Sainfoin is primarily used as a hay or pasture crop and has many characteristics beneficial to farming and ranching operations in the western states such as Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Montana and New Mexico where annual precipitation in generally low. Sainfoin is very drought resistant and does better in cold soils than alfalfa (Stannard, M). It is also shown that sainfoin thrives in soils with a pH 7.0 to 8.0 that are too dry for clover and alfalfa. Sainfoin is longer lived in dryland applications opposed to irrigated land but generally needs re-seeding every five to six years. Another interesting positive side-affect about sainfoin is the relationship it shares with honey and leaf cutting bees. The large pink flower attracts these insects and on top of producing large amounts of high quality honey, the sainfoin showed increased seed production when the bees were present.

Sainfoin is well adapted to dry calcareous soils and when compared with other legumes grows well on soils that are low in phosphorus. Sainfoin will tolerate light to moderate grazing well but should be allowed to recover from grazing events; thus, rotational stocking (similar to that used with alfalfa) should receive serious consideration and most grazing of sainfoin should take place during the peak production period during the spring.

sainfoin (s®°n'foin) [Fr.,=holy hay], leguminous perennial herb (Onobrychis viciaefolia) of the family Leguminosae (pulse family) indigenous in S Europe and in temperate W Asia. Sainfoin has for centuries been widely cultivated in Europe as a forage crop. Although it was introduced into the United States about 160 years ago, it has never become agriculturally important here until now. It thrives on calcareous soils too dry or too barren for clover or alfalfa. The plant is sometimes associated with the Christmas story of the Infant Jesus in the manger. Sainfoin is also called esparcet and holy clover. It is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Rosales, family Leguminosae.

MTC Sainfoin seed is superior in that it has over 97% (in 2007 crop) germination rate!

As a angus beef cattle producer we have found sainfoin to be an excellent feed for all cattle types. The fact that cattle do not bloat from eating sainfoin plants, that coupled with the fact that you do not have to use fertilizers and no pesticides makes sainfoin a superior feed to alfalfa in many ways.

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Fabales
Family: Fabaceae
Subfamily: Faboideae
Tribe: Hedysareae
Genus: Onobrychis
Sainfoins (Onobrychis) are Eurasian perennial herbs that have pale pink flowers and curved pods. O. vicifolia is naturalized in the British Isles and North America grasslands on calcareous soils. The Flora Europaea lists 23 species of Onobrychis.

This highly nutritious plant is an important forage crop and source of honey in Britain. This is because the plant is rich in tannins which protect proteins from hydrolysis in the rumen allowing the protein to be absorbed in the abomasum. The plant has a deep taproot and so is very drought-resistant
* Flowers: June-September.
* Distribution: grassland, cultivated land, waste places in throughout Europe as far north as southern Sweden.
