2024 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

2024 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

2024 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report

Published on May. 12, 2025

The purpose of this report is to summarize current research on the grazing tolerance of varieties of tall fescue, orchardgrass, perennial ryegrass, and other species when they are subjected to continuous, heavy grazing pressure by cattle within the growing season.

Cool-season forages such as tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are the primary pasture grasses in Kentucky. Other species such as perennial ryegrass and festulolium can also be used in pasture systems. Little is known about the effect of variety on the grazing tolerance of these cool-season grass species.
