[QUOTE="stephanieuk, post: 702111, member: 13354"] Hello YES! YES! YES! If want to make more money you need to be planting endophyte "friendly" KY 31. There is a MAJOR difference in endophyte friendly and endophyte free. The "free" will lose it's stand in about 5 years or less. The endophyte "friendly" will not. The novel endophyte is not man made, it's natural. It is not toxic to cattle, or horses. The average daily gain per head is 2 pounds per day per head. Add it up. It's a no brainer. If you have a field of regular KY 31 and a field of a endophyte friendly WATCH the cows....everytime they run straight to the endophyte friendly. They eat! They love it! They feel better. It's truly a win win and your profits will increase. You must kill out your field because the novel endophyte friendly looks no different than regular 31. There are plenty of fields across the US with 10+ years of this stuff. I'm sorry that everyone on here has not had experience with it or a good experience with it, but the person earlier was correct pasture management is the key to everything. With that being said, if you manage your pasture and have novel endophyte you will WIN! :D Lots of people think you can just add legumes and supplements, but this still doesn't eliminate the affect of toxic fescue no matter what....If they are grazing on toxic 31, they are consuming toxins in turn costing you money period. Why work so hard to decrease affects, when you can eliminate them and make money in the process? [/QUOTE]
