[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1687428, member: 28912"] Fescue toxicity is a thing, but it normally will happen when extra nitrogen has been applied in the Summer months. It also can only be transferred through the seed heads. Clipping the pasture serves two purposes, get rid of the seed head and promoting new and more palatable growth. Grasses like Bermuda ect. just will not thrive in our area and require high fertilization. Orchardgrass is used for hay here but will only survive for 4 or 5 years. The fescue/white clover mix is the swiss army knife of grasses for this area and for much of the mid-south. [/QUOTE]
