Abstract	Coolseason grasses have generally superior forage nutritive value compared to warmseason grasses, but do not thrive in the soils and climate of the midSouth. Tall fescue is a unique exception as a coolseason (C3) grass that is reliably persistent in the region. In addition, it tolerates heavy grazing, stockpiles efficiently and has a long growing season (Poore & Drewnoski, 2010). Because of these advantages, TF now covers over 14 million hectares in the United States (Hoveland, 1993). Tall fescue has disadvantages, particularly poor performance under dry or hot conditions (>30°C). Although persistent, TF grows slowly during midsummer and a fungal endophyte increases production of ergovaline and other alkaloids, further reducing the grazing value, with average daily gains of 0.46 kg and 0.97 kg for the highand lowend infested pastures respectively (Read & Camp, 1986). Native warmseason grasses (NWSG) are an alternative forage system (Backus et al., 2017). These grasses are foundation species Received: 12 June 2018 \| Revised: 2 November 2018 \| Accepted: 11 November 2018 DOI: 10.1111/gfs.12402
