The Ottawa Texture Measuring System was used to assess the shearing force of three alfalfa cultivars at similar physiological maturity. Shearing force of stems varied among growing conditions and shearing locations. A significant positive relationship was observed between shearing force and stem diameter. Shearing force may indicate stem fragility and provide a rationale for differences in forage breakdown during mastication.
