PR-859: 2024 Cool-Season Grass Grazing Tolerance Report
Gene Olson, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch, Jimmy Henning, Tim Phillips | Jan. 17, 2025 (New)
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.
PR-854: 2024 Orchardgrass Report
Gene Olson, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch, Tim Phillips, Jimmy Henning | Jan. 16, 2025 (New)
Orchardgrass (Dactylus glomerata) is a high-quality, productive, cool-season grass that is well-adapted to Kentucky conditions. This grass is used for pasture, hay, green chop, and silage, but it requires better management than tall fescue for greater yields, higher quality, and longer stand life. It produces an open, bunch-type sod, making it compatible with alfalfa or red clover as a pasture and hay crop or as habitat for wildlife.
PR-855: 2024 Tall Fescue, Bromegrass and Meadow Fescue Report
Gene Olson, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch, Tim Phillips, Jimmy Henning | Jan. 13, 2025 (New)
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a productive, well-adapted, persistent, soil-conserving, cool-season grass grown on approximately 5.5 million acres in Kentucky. This grass, used for both hay and pasture, is the forage base of most of Kentucky’s livestock enterprises, particularly beef cattle.
PR-856: 2024 Timothy and Kentucky Bluegrass Report
Gene Olson, Ray Smith, Tim Phillips, Chris Teutsch, Jimmy Henning | Dec. 11, 2024 (New)
Timothy (Phleum pratense) is the fourth most widely sown cool-season perennial grass used in Kentucky for forage—after tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass. It is a late-maturing bunchgrass that is primarily harvested as hay, particularly for horses. It also can be used for grazing or wildlife habitat.
PR-857: 2024 Annual and Perennial Ryegrass and Festulolium Report
Gene Olson, Ray Smith, Tim Phillips, Chris Teutsch, Jimmy Henning | Dec. 11, 2024 (New)
Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) are high quality, productive, cool-season grasses used in Kentucky. Both have exceptionally high seedling vigor and are highly palatable to livestock. In Kentucky, winter survival can be an issue for many annual ryegrass varieties, so before planting, review winter survival results in this publication.
PR-860: 2024 Cool-Season Grass Horse Grazing Tolerance Report
Gene Olson, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch, Jimmy Henning, Tim Phillips, Laurie Lawrence | Dec. 6, 2024 (New)
Cool-season forages such as Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and orchardgrass are dominant pasture grasses for horses in Kentucky. Variety evaluations for yield have been carried out for many years, but little work has been done to evaluate varieties of these grasses for persistence when subjected to close, continual grazing by horses.
PR-839: 2023 Tall Fescue, Bromegrass, and Meadow Fescue Report
Jimmy Henning, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch | Dec. 18, 2023 (New)

PR-844: 2023 Cool-Season Grass Horse-Grazing Tolerance Report
Jimmy Henning, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch | Dec. 18, 2023 (New)
Cool-season forages such as Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, and orchardgrass are dominant pasture grasses for horses in Kentucky. Variety evaluations for yield have been carried out for many years, but little work has been done to evaluate varieties of these grasses for persistence when subjected to close, continuous grazing by horses.
PR-838: 2023 Orchardgrass Report
Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith, Chris Teutsch | Dec. 18, 2023 (New)
Orchardgrass (Dactylus glomerata) is a high-quality, productive, cool-season grass that is well-adapted to Kentucky conditions. This grass is used for pasture, hay, green chop, and silage, but it requires better management than tall fescue for greater yields, higher quality, and longer stand life. It produces an open, bunch-type sod, making it compatible with alfalfa or red clover as a pasture and hay crop or as habitat for wildlife.
