Most pastures in Tennessee have some fescue present. Research has shown that there is a strong possibility that the fescue will contain the fescue endophyte.
The endophyte is a fungus that lives inside the plant and is not visible to the eye. The endophyte helps protect the plant and allows it to grow more proficiently. The bad side is that the endophyte reduces performance of cattle that are grazing the fescue.
