perhaps if you mowed it high (6-8 inches) it would be ok but it's a little late.  Don't mow it short like you would clover.

Actually I guess it is a mix of clovers and alfalfa I believe.  It is a deer mixture.  Now that I think about it I think it is more clover.  If I mow it I would use my WD with the brush mower behind it.  It probably leaves it 6" long. If I don't mow it will it still come up next year?

Yes it will.  However, the deer really like and can digest the young tender growth that is stimulated by cutting.
