So I'm still trying to figure out why I lose so many tail switches in the summer (and one ear to date). I'm in Michigan so you don't hear much about fescue but the symptoms sure seem to indicate losing circulation. I've included some pics of pasture grasses in my field that look to be fescue but here are a couple interesting points:
1. When they seed, the seed doesn't look like fescue
2. They rarely get above calf height in my fields because I rotationally graze and brushhog after each rotation to knock anything down still standing which seems to imply that I would never have any of the fescue seed that holds the ergot.
Thoughts?
