Estancia Fescue
ESTANCIA PRODUCTION WITH ARKSHIELD ® PROTECTION!
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. Estancia is the result of years of laboratory and field research by the University of Arkansas in cooperation with the University of Missouri. Estancia is a medium-maturing, high-yielding tall fescue with excellent seedling vigor. ArkShield® is a patented smart endophytic fungus that lives inside Estancia seed and plants in a mutually-beneficial relationship protecting the grass from disease, insects and environmental stresses like heat and drought. ArkShield® is natural and desirable in forage grasses and has no known negative effects on livestock. The ArkShield® endophyte makes Estancia a more productive and persistent perennial forage grass. In addition, Estancia is unique in the non-toxic tall fescue marketplace in that it not only contains a superb non-toxic endophyte, but Estancia is the combination of ArkShield® with base genetics of HiMag tall fescue, developed for higher magnesium levels to minimize grass tetany potential in cattle and sheep.

Palatine Fescue
HIGH QUALITY SOFT LEAF TALL FESCUE
Palatine is a dense, soft, fine-leafed tall fescue with excellent forage quality. Palatine is free of toxic endophytes that cause animal health issues often associated with KY-31. The lack of toxic alkaloids, forage quality, and finer leaf makes it an ideal choice for grazing cattle, sheep and horses. Palatine’s forage quality also makes it an excellent choice for grass-based dairy operations. Palatine can be sown as a monoculture grass or used in mixtures with other grasses, legumes and forbs. The high Relative Feed Quality (RFQ) of Palatine makes it a suitable selection for thinning alfalfa stands.
