[QUOTE="simme, post: 1745661, member: 40418"] Fescue is a miracle and a curse. I think you will notice that some animals tolerate fescue better than others. You can cull based on tolerance. Some suffer greatly, don't shed, and stand in water much of the time. It seems that animals not raised on fescue suffer more based on purchase of animals from non fescue areas. Some appear to tolerate it. There is the non-endophyte fescue available, but expensive and time consuming to convert and longevity of stand is suspect on the new fescues. I have not used the "fescue" minerals, so I don't have any useful feedback on them. But, I am skeptical of the results and afraid of the price. I think selection of tolerant animals is best, but limits your ability to select bulls. Trial and error is expensive and frustrating. [/QUOTE]
