[QUOTE="texhallMT, post: 79510, member: 1232"] cowspider, might be a worthwhile expense to have a vet do a necropsy. I would suspect a problem with the milk replacer (molded, vermin infestation, or ???) since all bloated. but it could have been the hay/feed as well. Too many factors to guess at with the information at hand. We had one bottle calf who bloated badly when eating a grass/alfalfa mix. Scared the devil out of me the first time he did it. But he got over it (luckily caught him pretty quickly and could help him get to his feet) and repeated that a few times, but never as bad as the first time. For all four of them to do it I'd suspect something common to all. Check the pasture and all feed that they got, but still might be a question for the vet. Tex [/QUOTE]
