GeneMo: When you were helping the flathead fan with his questions about a Farmall H, you advised ridding his property of all traces of fescue. I have some bare areas on my place where I was considering planting fescue. Glad I first saw your post. Why do you dislike fescue so much? It is very common around here (N. Alabama). Thanks. mike

Fescue is a lawn grass in Kansas. The one I'm familiar with, Kentucky 31 tall fescue, is a bunch grass, perhaps that is one reason some don't like it as a pasture grass. If you don't mow your lawn, it actually thins out and becomes bunch grass, a real mess, like driving over rocks. I'm not a cow, calf, or horse person so I can't speak for it's food value.

If I had a 1.oo for each bale we baled when I was a kid I would never have to work again.I beleive our cattle were in better shape then than cattle today.and I know they were taken care of better.What hay the cattle didnt eat they layed on,They never left the barns in the winter and always had Hay,silage,Ground corn to eat and straw to lay on.The dairy cattle were feed and bedded down in the barns at night if it was bad,or stayed in the loafing shed

Thanks, Jimmy. I was thinking we had fescue on the farm in South Carolina when I was a kid, too. I thought the farmers liked it.
See you again at the Red Power this year?

Well, when I selected "CityBoy-McCoy" I was living in downtown Pensacola. I bought this little "farm" in N. Alabama a year ago and the old name didn't seem appropriate anymore, although some would probably disagree 8^). Anyway, I see a lot more old Farmalls up here - and so, I'm seeing the world through a "Red Mist" (ih 2150 red). mike

Common here in Missouri also and Gene lives north of me in Missouri. Fescue is not a very good feed/hay and has very little food value. In Missouri its so common you almost can't buy hay that doesn't have it in it. Plus once you get it started its almost impossible to get rid of BTDT and have tried for 20 plus years. Timity and or orchard grass is by far a better grass
