[QUOTE="nap, post: 611937, member: 8447"] Good information. I have had my Brahman herd on a rotational grazing scheme using the fescue paddocts during the winter for four years and haven't experienced any fescue toxicity. Maybe this is because the Brahmans have a unique resistance to the endophyte. I have 23 bred Hereford heifers grazing the fescue with the Brahmans. This is my first year with Herefords so I am concerned about how they will handle the fescue. Jed brought up an interesting point about the difference, if any, between native fescue and Kentucky Ky31. I assumed I had 31 because it is common in this area. Maybe I need to take a sample to the state plant board and have it checked out. Most people that I've talked to don't like the endophyte free fescues, because they seem to lack the hardyness of Ky31.
