I'm keeping my calves a while this time. I have them turned out on what is normally the hay patch, may as well say it's all fescue. I've got another pasture next to it that I've got two pairs and the young bull on. Scared to turn the calves in there with all the clover in the fescue this year. Even with a bloat block, I'd be scared to death. I bet they'd really take off on there though. Or at least there bowels would. Anybody having or had this call to make?
 
We've got 3 replacement heifers, 2 first calvers and 2 older cows in a field that is fescue over the calves back with an understory of about 75% clover. They've been on it for 2 weeks with no issues. These are the few we're AIing this year. All the others are on a field of fescue over the calves back with clover understory of about 50%. No problems with them either.
 
Thanks, dun. I may give it a go. It's too nice of a pasture to let go to waste. Just trying to not create a problem where there isn't one.

Is there any advantage, bloat wise, to wait til the clover goes to seed?
 
The only advantage would be that it will reseed. That bieng at the cost of poorer feed quality
