[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2494"] I would rather have another type of grass in a foaling paddock/pasture. Back in the bad old days when we were into the horse deal we foaled on bluegrass and bermuda. Of course in that area the only fescue is considered a lawn grass. If you don;t need the regrowth that fescue provides, there are a bunch of other grasses that would also serve. We have several really good orchard grass and clover pastures. We either hay them or graze them, just don't seem to be able to do both in the same year. The girls really put on the fat and the calves growth is almost beyond belief when they're on the OG. dun > Sounds like it might be a good > plan.
