[QUOTE="Runningriverranch, post: 228654, member: 4129"] Morning folks! New boy here surfing for some helpful hints on Fescue toxicity. We are new to Virginia and to Fescue. We raise Highland Cattle among other things. I have been grazing Fescue pastures for the last year. This spring I spread 60lbN/acre but no rain. It matured early with very low vegetation. So from what I can surmise this is ideal conditions for Fescue Toxicity? I have been feeding free choice Hi Mag minerals with Tasco to try to mitigate the effects. Does this sound right to y'all? So, I have a listless lady. Temp 106+ drooling, panting, lost weight, little wobbly. Gotta believe this is Toxicity? She still has her winter coat and it's been 90+ here last week. Strange that she is the only one with acute symptoms although others are showing some heat problems. (not to mention the darn Flies!) Have tried PenG antibiotic but that didn't bring down the temp. Also gave her Banamine and am feeding ground corn and soy (16%) and some third cutting fescue hayfrom last year that s leafy. It's been three days and she seems to be getting weaker. Any helpful hints would be very mch appreciated. Thank you Sorry this is so long. P & P [/QUOTE]
