[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1709666, member: 1715"] Polar vortex cold and too much fall growth. Fescue is prone to dying back during an open winter and/or if it is overgrazed in the fall. The more native grasses grow less above ground in the fall and thus are more winter hardy. Trade offs are a bitch... Meadow fescue was my favorite pasture grass but I have been forced to go OG. The most common use for tall fescue here is in an alfalfa hay mix, and it will work for that 3 to 4 year period. Fans will argue that it usually grows back, but in my experience, the stand is never the same after getting burnt. [/QUOTE]
