Summary
Estancia Tall Fescue produces tons of nutritious, palatable, high-quality forage that results in healthier cows, heavier weaning calves and improved steer and heifer weight gains. The recent trial conducted at Mississippi State University shows Estancia to be a top producer of dry matter. ArkShield’s Smart Endophyte protects
the Estancia forage from disease, insects, heat and drought stresses that result in a more persistent perennial
pasture without negatively affecting cattle performance or calving rates.
