Ranchero Tall Fescue

Ranchero Tall Fescue is an endophyte-free, medium-maturing forage grass built for fast establishment and long-term durability. Its aggressive root structure and excellent seedling vigor make it equally at home in working pastures and on tough ground — slopes, waterways, and other erosion-prone areas that need quick soil stabilization. Because it's endophyte-free, Ranchero is safe for all classes of livestock, including horses. It holds up well whether it's grazed, hayed, or left to grow tall and unmowed, and it makes a strong companion grass in mixes with orchardgrass, ryegrasses, bromegrass, and legumes.
