As perennial pasture: Provides large amounts of palatable biomass in spring and fall. Older varieties and varieties produced specifically for turf are inoculated with endophytes, symbiotic fungi that improve growth and drought tolerance but can be toxic to livestock. We only stock endophyte-free fescue seed that is safe for use as animal feed.

As perennial hay: High production potential. Matures later than timothy so it can be easier to harvest on time during a wet summer. Coarser than orchard grass.

As lawn: Tough root system resists drought and heavy traffic. Does not tolerate low mowing.
