Cow Vetch

 I have cow vetch growing all over my property. My question is. How favorable is it to deer? Should i mow it or let it grow?

Crown vetch?   Looks like great stuff for deer.

I kept getting that when I searched too. If you look up cow vetch Vicia cracca  is similar but has a dark purple flower and is considered a legume. They say it works for cows in pasture. I was just wondering if anybody has run into it or knew anything about it. There seems to be a ton of it around my house

I've seen the deer chow down on it Matt. We got a bunch of it on the farm.
