Cull bloated cow?

[Bamabeef]

One of our cows bloated about a month before she was due to calve. She was on a regular pasture that all the cows were on. Vet came out could not find any cause for the bloat. He ran a tube down her and released some of the air. She recovered enough to have her calf. What I am wondering is should I cull her? I don't know if a cow bloats once will she be likely to bloat again?

She will likely bloat again, there are chronic bloaters. You might want her to grow wheels.

I would get sell her and the calf now and replace with a bred or open hfr of equal or better quality. No point in keeping potential problems around after they have already given you warning.
