[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 670670, member: 3937"] I understand that on May 9th you feed 2 calves 8 pounds of grain. I can see a bloat problem with this. Calves won't eat equal amounts in a case like this. The bloating calf may have eaten most or all the grain. This is what might have triggered the continuous bloating problems. So when ever this calf has had access to feeds that might cause bloat he bloats. Like grain, alfalfa and clover. I would pen him separate, Feed only good grass hay and water with some free choice salt and mineral. Hold off on the grain for a couple weeks then start up again slowly, half pound the first 3-4 days then 1 pound 3-4 days and so on. If he still bloats, don't waste anymore on him. [/QUOTE]
