Loving the herd life
I've got rye & clover down that I put down early winter it's doing pretty well but it needs some spots seeded over so I was going to do a spring planting of something else.
I don't know much about pasture grasses for goats, but I do know that too much Tall Fescue can be toxic. There are different kinds of Fescue, not sure if all of them are toxic, but the Tall Fescue can be so be careful.Jenski said:If you have not already read this website, you might check out FiasCo Farm - - Molly has a "recipe" for the seed they planted for their goats:

*
20# fescue*
*
15# orchardgrass
*
25# bluegrass
*
10# red clover
*
10# ladino clover
*
10# lespedeza (Korean)
*
10# alfalfa

other additions could be: Rye Grass, Lucerne, Chicory, Yarrow, Burnet, Sheep's Parsley, White Clover, assorted herbs
It is a fungus, not really a mold, and it is in the seeds and can't be seen.Oakroot said:It is not the fescue it is a mold that can grow on it just like with clover. Interplanting with legumes greatly reduces the risk.
