[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1837166, member: 24565"] If you read the book, The Wonder Grass, KY31 has been controversial since much earlier than the 70's and livestock response was part of that along with the typical ego wars. There is another angle to the KY31 fescue costs. If you manage it correctly and use controlled strip grazing or however you care to meter it out in the winter time there is huge savings to not need hay or hay equipment. I buy some hay most years to wean calves and hold groups in lots. Otherwise the cow herd can go through the winter with no hay and eating fresh grass each day due to strip grazing. Sure, I could supplement and put on more pounds. But summer pastures are managed more towards warm season grasses and if you want more summer growth there are the options of grazing mixes. [/QUOTE]
