[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1418376, member: 18945"] Most grasses, once they get tall and stemmy are tough--unpalatable. The cattle will choose the younger, leafy, tender, more green stuff every time, even here in bahia country. I would have to mow my bahia lawn every 3-4 day to prevent it from going to seed, and generally try to let it go to brown seed stage once per growing season. Have done the same with my pastures in past years but find myself a little overstocked presently and may not be able to this year unless I cull harder and sell some off. I'm a neophyte regarding Fescue, but I would think it is similar to bahia in that it is important to establish a good seedbank as well as a good root system for existing plants. Am I wrong in this assumption? ( With bahia, and to a lesser extent - bermuda, the cattle tend to pull a lot of it up by the roots as they graze it. ) [/QUOTE]
