Ladino clover common #1

I went to my local farm and feed store to submit my order for seeds. In the past I would use them high priced seeds so ordering seeds like this is new to me. When I told the salesperson I wanted ladino clover she said what type, she described both types, one she said grew very tall and the other stayed lower to the ground. I remember doing some reading and deer prefer clovers that are not lignin(stemmy) so I chose the one that stayed lower to the ground she named it ladino clover common #1. I hope made the right decision when I placed my order. I was thinking the other ladino clover was geared for cattle(bailing purposes). Any further info on this would be appreciated.Thnxs

I'm not an expert either but I just seeded some trails myself and added in some ladino clover common #1 to the mix which was primarily white clover with some red and sweet clover mixed in.

Ladino is referd to as a crawling clover. There are references as to deer prefering this type of clover. I know the ladino I have put down. The deer liked it.

Thanks for the info bigr ,did you ever use the other type of ladino clover that grows taller? As the sales person stated she did not give me any name. I appreciate the feedback.

I could be wrong but I don't think there is a ladino that is a tall growing type ?
