Built for Cattle, Backed by Forage: Alfalfa Forage Bite Cattle Treats

January 6, 2026

When it comes to caring for cattle, nutrition always comes first, even when it comes to treats. Whether you’re rewarding show cattle, bonding with your backyard cows, or simply adding enrichment to daily routines, choosing the right treat matters.

At Standlee, we believe treats should support the animal’s natural diet, not work against it. That’s where Alfalfa Forage Bites - Cattle Treats come in: a forage-based, grain-free treat designed with both nutrition and palatability in mind.

Why Forage-Based Treats Matter for Cattle

Cattle are ruminants, meaning their digestive systems are designed to efficiently process fiber-rich forage. Treats that align with this natural feeding behavior help support:

• Healthy rumen function
• Consistent digestion
• Reduced risk of digestive upset compared to high-starch or grain-heavy snacks

Forage-based treats allow cattle owners to reward their animals without disrupting the foundation of a forage-first diet.

Made from Premium, Sun-Cured Alfalfa

Standlee Alfalfa Forage Bites are made from high-quality, sun-cured alfalfa grown in Idaho. Alfalfa is naturally rich in:

• Digestible fiber
• Protein
• Essential vitamins and minerals

Sun-curing helps preserve nutrient value and natural flavor, delivering a treat that cattle readily accept while maintaining nutritional integrity.

Grain-Free by Design

Not all treats are created equal. Many traditional livestock treats rely on grains or added starches, which may not always be ideal for routine feeding.

Alfalfa Forage Bites are:

• Grain-free
• Forage-based
• Gentle on the rumen when fed appropriately

This makes them a smart option for cattle owners looking to keep treats aligned with responsible feeding practices.

Enhanced with Star Anise for Preferred Taste

Treating cattle isn’t just about nutrition, it’s also about engagement and enjoyment. That’s why these forage bites are enhanced with a natural star anise flavor, known for its strong aroma and appeal to livestock.

The result?

• High palatability
• Easy acceptance during training or handling
• A treat cattle look forward to

How to Use Alfalfa Forage Bites

Alfalfa Forage Bites are intended as a treat or reward, not a replacement for the base ration. They’re ideal for:

• 4-H and show cattle training
• Positive reinforcement during handling
• Bonding with backyard or hobby cattle
• Occasional enrichment alongside a balanced diet

As with all treats, moderation is key.

A Treat You Can Feel Good About

Choosing treats doesn’t have to mean compromising nutrition. With Alfalfa Forage Bites - Cattle Treats, you’re offering:

• A forage-first snack
• Grain-free simplicity
• High-quality, sun-cured alfalfa
• Palatable reward cattle enjoy

It’s a simple way to reward the cattle you care for, while staying true to sound feeding principles.
