[QUOTE="luke03cr, post: 1033023, member: 18406"] You should go ahead and clip your fescue. By this time of year and as tall as you say it is it is Likly to stemmy to be palatable and its lost most of it nutrient value. If you clip it between 5 to 6in youl leave plenty of leaf area where it can collect sun and store nutrients in its roots. If you clip it shorter then about 4 in then youl stress the root reserves and have a poor fall stand. But at 6 in or so you should be good to go for a early fall cutting then hopefully have enough growing season left to stock pile for winter grazing. [/QUOTE]
