[QUOTE="dun, post: 1252430, member: 34"] Managment of grazing, fertility, climate adapted grass and the type of grass would be the keys. The grazing managment would be partially the post grazing residue, leaving enough so that the grass doesn;t lose viability due to root/crown weakness. Also stopping grazing before the stuff goes dormant so that it can store nutrients in the root/crown so that it will be stronger in the spring and start growing sooner. I can understand OG winter killing, but tall fescue, if the KY31 type, I don;t understand winter kill. I don;t doubt that you had a problem with it but I just don;t understand what would cause it. Granted we don;t have prolonged winters (although some years they seem like it, but I've not seen any other grass that can be grazed down to almost bare dirt and come back with a little warm weather and rain. The stand would be weaker, I see that all around me, but it wouldn't die. [/QUOTE]
