[QUOTE="dun, post: 378141, member: 34"] Clover and the KY31 type of fescue are a logical mating. In early spring when the endophyte is lowest the fescue will shade out the clover so that it doesn;t grow very well. After the first grazing, the clover will come on stronger and help to dilyte the hiogher levels of endophyte. Clover will contribute N to the soil but doesn;t have an affect on P or K. Too high of a percentage of clover can caue problems with bloat, but if the cows are adapted to it there is rarely a problm. We have pasturers that range fomr 30-50% clover and the cows just graze through the clover patches the same as they do the grass. dun [/QUOTE]
