[QUOTE="txag, post: 399625, member: 8"] kleingrass will typically be lower in protein than coastal (i can't find the research right now, but i think it's around 9% protein). it also doesn't respond as well to intensive grazing. it does better if cattle are pulled off occasionally to allow it to seed out & re-establish itself. cattle absolutely LOVE it & will head out first thing in the morning to find any regrowth. as for horses, i found this: [i]"Recent Texas A&M Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory experience suggests an association of liver damage in horses [u]on pure Kleingrass diets[/u]."[/i] [url=http://animalscience.tamu.edu/main/academics/equine/hrg006_hpastures.pdf]http://animalscience.tamu.edu/main/acad ... stures.pdf[/url] here's a link to the Pogue site with some discussion of each type of grass: [url=http://www.pogueagri.com/grasses.htm]http://www.pogueagri.com/grasses.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
