Have these cows been in fescue all their life? If not that is a lot of the problem and if they are use to it it will still raise their body temp. In this heat a few degrees makes a lot of difference.

CTC won;t actaully do anything about the endophyte. What it does is helps to prevent he repercussions of the endophyte. The endophyte is toxic and makes them more susceptible to disease but the CTC provides a dose of antibiotic to prevent the disease from getting a toe hold. Went through this song and dance with some one once and ended up talking directly to (either Vitaferm or Kent) to get the straight of it. Around here you almost have to special order minerals with CTC since so few people feed them.
