I have no-till drilled (3/8" deep) numerous Tall Fescue varieties in Van Zandt county of NE Texas. K32 did not survive, even when planted in loamy bottom land. I have not planted any K31. Chisolm has shown promise thus far; however, it is too early to call it successful.

Prosper Tall Fescue planted in October 2017 did not perform well after last summer (2018) since we only received one inch of rain from April to September 2018 in our NE Texas area. We planted Chisolm Tall Fescue in October 2018 (received only two inches of rainfall from April to October 2019)...

Does anyone - other than me - have experience with Chisholm and/or Flecha Tall Fescue in area between Dallas and Tyler, TX? These varieties are Mediterranean, summer-dormant, and NO endophyte. Both of these varieties would be great for my area if they had SOME endophyte? Any varieties I'm...

I'm partial to Blonde Bulls or Blonde x Angus (red or black) Bulls breeding 3/4 ths to 7/8 ths Angus (red or black) x 1/8 th or 1/4 Brahman Cows. We run 500 of these cows in NE Texas with only one percent calving problems, whether they be heifers or cows. We run our Bulls year-around with Cows...

BC and Texasmark, we no-tilled 60 additional acres of Prosper Fescue in late October 2017. We've received only one-half inch of rain since then; however, it is about 3 inches tall. It is too early to tell how the 20 acres we on-tilled in last year will perform long term.

Much obliged!

Thanks for the info. What is your preferred distance? We are normally shooting 20 to 40 feet.

K31 Tall Fescue is a bunch grass; however, I have not seen any as rough as you have. I am sure K31 could not have survived past 2011. Is it possible yours is Idaho Fescue or something similar?

We must be doing something the wrong way! We have utilized Vet Gun for about two years also; however, half the balls haven't ruptured. They sometimes rupture when they land square on the shoulder, etc. If the ball hits the " barrel shaped" rig cage, it normally ricochets off without...

What? I vaguely aware there are subsidies for commodity farmers - not sure about vegetable farmers - but I've never heard of ranching subsidies! Most Farmers and Ranchers (some are both) in my area help each other routinely.

On 20 acre upland (loamy top soil) test plot: I added one ton per acre lime in spring 2016 for a projected 6.2 pH. Grazed Bermuda/Bahia pasture really short in October with 150 head of cattle. Rotated cattle out. Sprayed with Glyphosate at one pint per acre. My research on Prosper...

My recent soil testing revealed exactly that = Boron deficiency. Plan to correct it when we fertilize next time.

Did it survive 2011 or did you plant later?

Bummer.

I originally planned to plant Texoma II Tall Fescue, which was designed for Texas/Oklahoma area; however, after extensive research, I realized that the key is to have the grass dormant in the summer so that it does not attempt growing every time you get a little rain. That attempted grpwth...

BF, what is your average annual rainfall? Is your soil sandy? Prosper Tall Fescue is not recommended for sandy soils. Our acreage (mostly rented) is all loamy except about 150 acres. I plan to avoid planting any Prosper on the sandy acreage.

I submit that all Fescue varieties are not all the same. BC... I know two guys claiming you are the GURU when it comes to Van Zandt county agriculture. I hope to pick your brain even more in the future. I agree with all of your reply with regards to normal Fescue aka Tall Fescue K31...

We have quite a bit of Bahia. I want cool season perennial grass as well though.

We have banded more than a thousand - larger sizes - with the Callicrate bander plus more than a thousand utilizing the green cheerios on smaller calves. We have never utilized any Tetanus products and have never lost an animal because of it to our knowledge.
