[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3892"] Hate to disagree Dun, you are mostly right on the money. But CTC won't counter the effects of endophyte infected fescue. The endophyte causes the blood vessels to constrict leading to raised temp, poor digestion, poor circulation causing drop of tail switch tips of ears, etc. Poor circulation also hampers shedding of winter hair. If an animal has some kind of chronic or low grade infection the endophyte related temperature increase will compound the problem and CTC will help clear up infections leaving the animal with only the endophyte problem to deal with. Dealing with Fescue by clipping seed heads as you said is very effective. Also graze fescue in the spring and fall and try to find a non-fescue pasture in the hottest part of the summer. If your cattle have to be on Fescue in the heat, make sure they have a way to cool off. [email=dianab@iastate.edu]dianab@iastate.edu[/email] [/QUOTE]
