[Jacob-list] Meadow

[J Thomas]

If I remember correctly, endophytes can cause problems
with abortion in ewes. It can also cause the sack
containing the lamb to be too thick to break
appropriately during birth causing suffocation of the
lamb. This can also affect horses. I'm not sure about
cows.

If someone else has more info, I'd appreciate it, too!
We have some seeding to do, as well.
