[QUOTE="dun, post: 80073, member: 34"] I persoanlly don;t think any "breed" is more tolerent, just individuals whithin a breed. Neighbor has gerts and gerts crosses. Some do well others alwasy look wormy, i.e. rough coat, gaunt, etc. But I'll pretty well gaurentee they're not wormy. We have a couple of cows that never shed out and gaunt up pretty bad come calf feeding time. But they regain condition after weaning (I figure they're heavy milkers) but never shed out, alwasy look ratty. Our fescue is pretty well diluted with clovers and other grasses so it isn;t significant here. Other folks around have straight fescue and some of the cows never look as thrifty as others. I've only seen for myself one herd that lost tails and hooves from fescue. 47 head of registered cattle brought down from NE, within a year they were down to only a couple and they were sore footed all of the time. That's why we only get heifers from herds that run predominantly fescue pasture. And even then there are some that just don't perform as well as others. dun [/QUOTE]
