Fescue grass & pregnancy...

[Bullzeye]

I know my pregnant mare is not supposed to have fescue grass but I don't know what it looks like . Can anyone tell me what kind of grass this is or at least if it is or isn't fescue?

Hey ,

Im not sure where you are located , But in Australia there are many types of fescue in Grasses and Lawns.

Maybe you could take a sample to a Feed or Produce store , someone there may know exactly what type it is you have in your paddocks.

Good Luck and Great Topic for this Board

 

Where are you located?

That looks like timothy to me, but hard to tell for sure in a picture.

Hopefully this link will work for these pictures of Tall Fescue: https://www.google.com/search?q=tall+fescue+picture&sa=X&rlz=1T4GZAG_enUS455US455&biw=1280&bih=798&tbm=isch&imgil=HtDoNH987d1lRM%253A%253Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fencrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com%252Fimages%253Fq%253Dtbn%253AANd9GcTL3yVbZFovsCHQoF7QurL6cT6FMysOid23hkeg4mPfyT_jWWK3RQ%253B576%253B679%253B-cliatE00oyZGM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fforages.oregonstate.edu%25252Ftallfescuemonograph%25252F&source=iu&usg=__Gp33fu8erR3z1LoZJNRufzbvYCY%3D&ei=Rn4zU-HGMM-xoQTF04HoCg&ved=0CC4Q9QEwAw#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=HtDoNH987d1lRM%253A%3B-cliatE00oyZGM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fforages.oregonstate.edu%252Ftallfescuemonograph%252Fsites%252Fdefault%252Ffiles%252FCover-Fig-1-fescue-plant.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fforages.oregonstate.edu%252Ftallfescuemonograph%252F%3B576%3B679

If you have an Ag Extension office, check with them; they should be able to help you identify the plants.

 

Let us know what they say!
