Description:
Common in the eastern part of our region and often seeded in pastures. It is sometimes found in the western part of our region in moist soils such as ditches, along creeks and near ponds or lakes. It is a desirable forage species for cattle if managed properly, but is also known to cause decreased animal performance and even the loss of tails and ears. It can cause pregnant mares to abort. It is of little value to most wildlife species although there is some documentation of occasional use by white-tailed deer.
