Cattle can tolerate it mostly, but fescue has a fungus that grows in the stem that produces a toxin that cuts production by up to 85%. That's in birth rates and all growth traits too. The problem is that if you get rid of the fungus, the grasses die for some reason. They work well together, so infected fescue is pretty much all that grows. If the cattle could tolerate the toxin, then fescue would be the best thing for them to graze, cause it's an awesome forage. (sorry for nerding out there...)

Holy hell that's impressive. We need a bit more nerd round these parts. I feel I contribute a small portion of the potential nerd that this place needs. Course, my nerd spans in a different direction, but nerd never the less. I wish I could say my nerd powers could change the world, you should be proud. That's awesome!!

Speaking of nerds we have a guy that is running for Governor. In his commercial he says it's time that Michigan is run by a nerd! He calls himself a nerd and is proud of it. I will see if I can find it & post it later. Pretty funny stuff.
