[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 564891, member: 7509"] Thanks Aaron & Dun. Yes the clover was innoculated in the drill box. There is enough natural clover in most fields here where the bacteria or whatever that makes the N nodes should also be in the soil. This field for some reason had a lot less clover than some others - almost none. We also spread a fair amount of lime last summer to get the pH up to where clover likes it. As far as bloat - this field is now maybe 60-70% clover as you can see. From your experience Dun I will assume bloat is not a problem here. I appreciate the information. Aaron I'm glad to hear he has a year to go to fill out. Even though I only plan on keeping him for this one or maybe two breeding seasons at least the genetics will be there. I was reading something the other night that pointed out that a cow with poor genetics produces only one "bad" calf. But a bull has his genetics in ALL of your calves... Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
