[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 82205, member: 87"] Mr. Chuckie, Yes we are pleased with it as a means to dilute our toxic fescue and at the same time to add nitrogen back into the soil. I do understand that the aggressiveness may pass after the first few years and the grass it seems to have crowded out will come back. I think we may now be seeing some of this. What it will do to a Bermuda field, particularly if it is used for hay, I do not know? The cattle do seem to do well on it, I wiegh frequently, but I am not sure we have evaluated or compared pre and post Durana rates of gain? I do think if you will have only a few pastures in the Durana, you will need to watch for bloat. We have not had this as a problem since all of our pastures are planted in it. At certain times of the year, spring, the stuff goes crazay with some moisture and it can get 10 inches tall, and I get sweaty palms about the possibility of bloat. I think once cattle are on it, and if they continue to get exposed to it, they adapt and bloat is not a problem, at least in our experience. Good Luck. Billy [/QUOTE]
