[QUOTE="dun, post: 51562, member: 34"] The cholotrum and milk replacer should do pretty well for the calf. Maybe a selenium shot too. Fescue toxicity basicly poisons the animal and causes loss of milk supply to extremetes and it can severly cut down on milk production. But, it's really not all that hard to mitigate the effects of the fescue. Interseding clover can be a huge help with the problem. The clover besides providing a high level of nutrition it also dilutes the endophyte in the fescue. When we interseeded red clover our weaning weights went up on average 50 lbs and we didn't have an over heating problem which had been evident before. Obviously the clover won't help this year, but once the fescue has had a frost and goes dormant the endophyte is decreased significantly. dun [/QUOTE]
