[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1827504, member: 43196"] The reason I ask, the endophyte, if in high enough concentrations, can cause vasoconstriction of blood vessels, which would compromise nutrients being delivered to the fetus essentially starving them and result in low birth weights, or even abortion. This could be exacerbated during periods of higher external temperatures, and would not be limited to your herd, but everyone with fescue in the approximate same stage of maturity in the area. Sound about right? [/QUOTE]
