??? I can't seem to figure out what it is either. 
The best defense against weeds is cut, cut, cut. The thicker the grass, the fewer the weeds.

Contact your state's Agricultural Extension by email and send them a PICTURE.
We are fortunate down here in Texas to have the Texas A&M University that runs an extension service. I've sent them pictures of beetles, wasps, and weeds (in bloom) inquiring what they were and usually got an answer back in a couple of days.

That is what it is. I have cut and baled many acres of it. Decent hay, a little stemmy, quail love it. Ed

Will cows eat it in the pasture? I know horses won't touch it.

Sericea lespedeza makes good hay if cut at the right time. If you cut it when it is about 12-16" tall the stems are not too hard. Most of the reclaimed strip mine land around here was planted in it.
