[QUOTE="dun, post: 59093, member: 34"] With the fescue, over seeding (frost seeding) with clover is about all you can do. Unless, you want to spray it, burn it, spray it, plant an annual. Harvest the annual and spray and burn it again. That will weaken the fescue so you sould have a few years before it takes over again. Trying to eradicate ky31 is like trying to get rid of inlaws. About the time you think you're successful, they/it will start to take over again. We have one field that had the spray/burn, spray/burn treatment then was rotated with sudex early and Marshall rye in the fall for 4 years. We had to disk the snot out of it and planted winter wheat this fall. The fescue is still there but only around 10% of the field and it's patchy. Overseeding with clover will help to dilute the endophyte and the cattle will do almost as well as on the newer novel/friendly endophyte grasses. My preference is red clover, if you pm me I'll tell you something real charming about the red clovers, some people prefer the large whites. Our fields are a mixture but tending more and more to reds as the whites die out and we don;t reseed. dun [/QUOTE]
