[QUOTE="SoutheastOKGuy, post: 870995, member: 17423"] agmantoo, Funny, this is a timely topic. I emailed a consultant at Noble yesterday asking about Texoma MaxQII fescue. We have traded a couple of emails and he has been very helpful. I didn't ask about endophyte though, but I could easily ask another question. I will paste my questions and his answers below. I don't know the difference between stocker cattle and cows. Maybe you could educate me? We also talked about Red River crabgrass and bermudagrass. I can buy KY31 for ~ $126/hundred #. I don't know what the Texoma fescue costs or where I can get it. Incidentally I live in Texomaland. In your opinion does the Texoma fescue offer benefits that overcome the price increase from KY31? [b]If raising stocker cattle – probably. If raising cows – no, not if fescue is 30% of total forage annually. [/b]Or is KY31 just as well adapted as Texoma?
