Yes, those are one of their favorite forages to munch on. Just be aware that the cows are not hungry when they're put out in a pasture or field of alfalfa. If they're hungry when fed alfalfa or are put on alfalfa pasture when there's still dew on the plants, they run a high risk of bloating.

Can cows eat dandelions?
Cows can eat just about everything. Be wary about stink weeds and alfalfa. If cows eat to much alfalfa, their stomach will bloat and they can die. If you have dairy cows it is best to let them out in pasture that does not have any stink weeds. They will eat those and their milk will become sour. Make sure that the cow gets dewormed or it could become very sick. The only thing with eating dandilions is that they can get worms from them. The little leaf bugs do cause sicknesses. Sometimes it is better to go with pellets instead of just grass.

There is. Alfalfa hay is exactly that, hay. Your horse should never eat a first or second cutting. This is usually what dairy cows eat, the protein content is too high for a horse. Alfalfa meal is chopped alfalfa hay mixed with other things incuding molasses. Horses love alfalfa meal and it is a great thing to feed if you have a 'hard keeper'. (a horse that is hard to keep weight on) But remember, just like any sweet feed or grain it has a higher protein percentage and can make your horse run a little 'hot'.
