[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 675274, member: 539"] They will do great, but I would make sure they had access to bloat blocks. As far as I know, bloat is an across the board problem regardless of breed. According to what I've read, the risk of bloat is increased by turning hungry cows that are not used to alfalfa out on an alfalfa pasture that is still wet with dew, and giving them unlimited access to it. I believe I would make sure they were full of grass hay prior to turning them out the first time, and do what I could to limit their grazing for a week or so. [/QUOTE]
