[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 125029, member: 539"] Maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought it was only 4th cutting that caused bloat due to having something to do with it being a last cutting and late in the season. I'm not real clear on why, but I know that we have fed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cutting hay with no problems. 4th we are careful with and alternate with grass hay or ground hay that is cut with grass and straw. I have a bottle baby and a crippled heifer on 2nd cutting alfalfa hay that have been on it (the heifer all summer, and the bottle baby since the end of July) for the majority of the summer and I have had no problems. Of course, Murphy's Law being what it is, they will both be bloated tomorrow or the next day. :( [/QUOTE]
