[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 119250, member: 1715"] This spring I seeded down some crop land to grass and clover mixes for good grazing with out a big nitrogen bill. The red clover is very vigerous, and is dominating the forage during the first year. I currently load my cattle up on dry hay and then turn them into the mostly clover pasture in the afternoon. The good doers still load up on the fresh forage and look really big with a "double bloat" by evening. When I observe them I can see and hear them "burp" every so often. When I recheck then the next morning they look pretty normal except for being a little loose. Please Help with these Questions - 1) Am I taking a big chance here or is bloat not the problem some people make it out to be? 2) How long do cattle need to be on high legume grazing before their system is fully adjusted?
