[QUOTE="dave_shelby, post: 1745662, member: 22579"] I should have added that I did plant, BarOptima, on of the modified endophyte fescue varieties in another field. That said, I would not plant that variety again as it showed poor vigor, tillering and lower overall growth. Some of that might be due to the fact that its a soft leaf variety and cows will eat it to the ground. I am renovating another pasture now with a summer annual and going to try MaxQ + some variety of OG, cost permitting. All of these cattle were purchased in fescue belt. I'll be culling. Among the worst of the cattle are two cows purchased from Ginger Hill Angus who advertise that their cattle are fescue tolerant. Its the sunk cost fallacy at work because I haven't culled them yet despite falling back from failure to breed. [/QUOTE]
