Best Alfalfa Variety For Deer

I'm pleased with the health of my existing alfalfa stand. I ust wondering if there is a tastier variety that is more attractive for deer.

Yes, I know established alfalfa will keep new alfalfa seed from germinating or growing.
We used to have 80 acres of it. The last 12 years since 2012 we have had none. We had "alfagraze" which was an expensive variety 25+ years ago.
All I know is that they loved it! Turkeys too! Every year my spring gobbler was shot in the edge of an alfalfa field and their craw was jam packed full of the leaves. Super high protein that must be delicious.

Keep it mowed and baled and they will love it. It is not a food plot plant to just sow and let it go.
