MaxQ II Tall Fescue (Jesup) For Pasture

MaxQ II Jesup Tall Fescue is an advanced cool-season forage grass developed to provide the persistence and durability of traditional tall fescue while helping support improved livestock performance and pasture productivity. This premium forage combines the proven Jesup tall fescue variety with patented MaxQ novel endophyte technology, delivering excellent stand longevity without the animal health concerns commonly associated with toxic endophyte fescue varieties.

Widely trusted by cattle and horse producers across the United States, Jesup MaxQ is recognized for its superior grazing tolerance, drought resilience, seasonal productivity, and adaptability across traditional tall fescue regions. Research and field performance have demonstrated improved livestock gains, enhanced conception rates, better feed intake, and healthier overall animal performance when compared to toxic tall fescue systems.

Unlike conventional endophyte-infected tall fescue, MaxQ technology contains a non-toxic beneficial endophyte that supports plant vigor and persistence without contributing to fescue toxicosis. This makes it an excellent choice for beef cattle operations, dairy farms, horse pastures, hay production, and rotational grazing systems.


Key Benefits of Jesup MaxQ Tall Fescue

Feature Benefit
Novel MaxQ Endophyte Technology Provides persistence without harmful livestock effects
Excellent Grazing Tolerance Handles rotational grazing and heavy pasture use
Improved Livestock Performance Supports higher weight gains and reproductive efficiency
Safe for Horses Suitable for broodmares, foals, and performance horses
Strong Drought Tolerance Deep-rooted growth improves summer survival
Long-Term Stand Persistence Maintains productive pasture stands for years
Adaptable Across Regions Performs well throughout major fescue-growing areas
Excellent Hay & Grazing Option Suitable for both pasture and harvested forage systems

Why Choose MaxQ II Jesup Tall Fescue?

Traditional toxic tall fescue can negatively impact livestock by reducing weight gain, feed consumption, fertility, and overall animal comfort. Jesup MaxQ was developed to help producers maintain the agronomic advantages of tall fescue while minimizing these performance challenges.

The beneficial MaxQ endophyte improves plant persistence by helping the grass tolerate:

  • Heat stress

  • Drought conditions

  • Insect pressure

  • Heavy grazing

  • Traffic and wear

  • Seasonal environmental stress

At the same time, livestock grazing Jesup MaxQ typically experience improved comfort and productivity compared to toxic endophyte pastures.

Establishment & Management Tips

For best establishment results, eliminate existing toxic tall fescue stands before planting Jesup MaxQ. A firm, weed-free seedbed is critical for strong germination and long-term pasture success.

Grazing Recommendations

  • Avoid grazing until seedlings reach 6–8 inches tall

  • Maintain 3–4 inches of residual forage after grazing

  • Utilize rotational grazing for improved stand longevity

  • Reduce grazing pressure during drought or extreme heat

  • Avoid grazing on excessively wet soils to reduce stand damage

Fertility Management

Apply phosphorus and potassium according to soil test recommendations. Annual nitrogen applications in early fall and late winter help maximize forage production and seasonal growth.


Seasonal Performance

Jesup MaxQ Tall Fescue provides strong cool-season productivity during:

  • Fall

  • Winter (in milder climates)

  • Early spring

  • Late spring

The forage can also be stockpiled in fall for extended winter grazing, helping reduce supplemental feeding costs.

  • Supports healthier livestock performance

  • Maintains durable pasture stands

  • Helps improve forage utilization

  • Reduces risks associated with toxic fescue

  • Excellent for long-term grazing systems

  • Proven performance in university and on-farm trials

Arrakis Brought to Life: A Stunning Visual Gateway into Dune
Format: Hardcover
‘Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book One’ is an outstanding adaptation that captures the scale, tension, and atmosphere of Frank Herbert’s original novel while making the world of Arrakis far easier to visualize. The artwork does an exceptional job translating Herbert’s dense descriptions into vivid imagery—ornithopters slicing through the desert sky, the oppressive vastness of the sands, and the stark contrast between House Atreides and House Harkonnen all feel instantly real and immersive. What really shines is how the graphic format clarifies complex scenes and political dynamics without oversimplifying them. Key moments that can be challenging to picture in the prose novel become immediately understandable, helping readers grasp both the physical environment and the emotional weight of the story. Paul’s journey, the looming threat on Arrakis, and the undercurrent of destiny are all conveyed with clarity and restraint. This is an ideal companion for longtime fans who want a richer visual grounding of the story, as well as for newcomers who may find the original novel intimidating. Faithful, beautifully illustrated, and thoughtfully paced, ‘Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book One’ enhances the experience of Herbert’s masterpiece rather than replacing it and it leaves you eager for the next volume.

A good rendering of the source material.
Format: Hardcover
I was fifteen the first time I read Frank Herbert’s classic, Dune. I was immediately swept away to his universe, and my imagination was immediately fed! Oh, what a diet of sight, sound, color, emotion, politics, warfare, and religion he fed me! The movie of this book (before there was one) unraveled in my mind, and I ingested every moment. It was such a delicious experience that I decided right then and there that I would revisit this wonderful place. Since that moment in 1981, there have been two movies, a miniseries, a graphic novel, and various other stories, as well as Frank Herbert’s son continuing the series with science Fiction author, Kevin J. Anderson. All of which is good. Please note I said good. With the exception of the continuing series by Herbert and Anderson, the images provided have not really lived up to what my imagination conjured up so long ago (and even now, since I am giving the original a re-read.), but that is not a knock against this book. Dune: The Graphic Novel is a lovely work of art. The art in it is simple, yet beautiful. Each page was deliciously drawn and colored and added to what my imagination conjured up. The pages are thick in this book, which made me feel like I was skipping ahead, but in reality, I wasn’t. A major plus for this book is that it brought back all of those feeling from when I first read Frank Herbert’s novel. I am looking forward to getting my hands on volume 2. It is on several wish lists, and my wife knows what a Dune fan I am. All in all I give this book 4.5 bookmarks out of 5!

New to Graphic Novels - What a great first choice!
Format: Kindle
Consumed the Dune series as a teen and this is my first revisit to Arrakis; thoroughly enjoyed it. So little time to sit down and read anymore, this graphic novel was a great way to re-aquiant myself with Arrakis without taking months to re-read the books - that was my original intent. But as I flipped through the supurbly illustrated cells, I quickly came to appreciate the beauty of Graphic Novels. The moments captured in the cells were expertly chosen, conveying the important parts of the story in a cohesive and flowing way; I have no idea how they were able to chose the right scenes from such a packed novel as Dune and tell the story so well. I will be getting the next in the series. Well done! To those involved in the making of this graphic novel, and thank you for putting me on to a new genre. I'll be exploring many more.
