[QUOTE="Twisted, post: 1837092, member: 43517"] I totally respect your opinion, but I know thoroughly what my challenges are. There is not a single producer that can honestly say that their herd will put on more weight with K-31 than any other grass or other variety of fescue. You yourself have been giving advice for supplementing K-31 to try and get the cow to eat it. Supplements aren't cheap and neither are land prices. The only way to get a decent return of investment is to put pounds on the cows. Every study has shown that K-31 significantly hinders that to the point that over a billion dollars a year is lost on it and that report was 3 years ago, I suspect that it is closer to 1 1/2 to 2 billion today. I want to manage for weight gain. sure I can plant legumes but here in the south they are gone by mid June, then what? More supplements? distillers grain? gluten? cubes? [/QUOTE]
