SUMMARY

Kentucky 32 is the “New Choice” in tall fescue for forage. It was bred to be endophyte free and safe for horses and cattle to consume. Tested around the country for forage applications, Kentucky 32 is unique in that it has the persistence of Kentucky 31, and will perform very well as a forage grass in those regions where both summer and winter can be especially tough.

01

ZERO ENDOPHYTE

No alkaloids — the safest fescue for sensitive livestock.

02

BROODMARE SAFE

The standard recommendation where horses graze fescue.

03

QUALITY FORAGE

Full tall fescue nutrition without the toxin penalty.

04

COOL-SEASON

Spring and fall production when warm-season grass is dormant.

05

MANAGE PRESSURE

Less stress tolerance than infected fescue — avoid overgrazing.

06

ROTATIONAL FIT

Best in managed systems where rest periods are honored.

07

ALTERNATIVE

Consider novel-endophyte types for persistence with safety.
