You will be fine to graze it now. The alfalfa has gone into formancy and eating it off now will cause no problems. Bloat should not be a concern either. Your BIGGEST problem will be if the ground is soft. Alfalfa doe not like to be trampled, and, if it does get trampled you will lose plants. The "general" rule of thumb for alfalfa is that if you've had two consecutive nights of 27 degress or below, the plant has stopped all growth and is essentially "ready" for winter. Your situation may have been a blessing in disguise as you should NOT harvest alfalfa between Sept. 15th and November 1. (at least here in my area of Central Missouri) The plants go through a process known as "reverse plasmolysis" that essentially reverses nutrient flow from the upper plant to restore the root reserves. Any disruption of this process weakens the plant and encourages winter kill.
