[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10173"] The condition you describe is called "Fescue foot". It can also make them loose their tail. Most KY-31 fescue is infected with an endophyte that causes the problem. The problem can be almost completely controlled by diluting the fescue with some other feed. The cattle actually will be build up an immunity to it and it isn't as bad. Some cattle aren't noticebly affected. When the term fescue intolerent is used it is actually the endophyte within the fescue that they are intolerent to. dunmovin farms > I live in harney county in eastern > oregon and some people here were > feeding there cattle strait fescue > hay and the cattle got a toxic > fungus and it killed over 600 > cattle. the fungus cuts off the > blood supply and then there feet > rot off. it was a bad. and sad. > that might be the problem. but i > don't no.
