[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1387587, member: 1715"] :idea: Perhaps the best solution for bloat is planting more clover seed. :idea: I think there are a lot of factors with bloat tendencies. - I lost a fat SM Hereford, we had owned 6 months, who bloated the second morning they were on a 99% RC patch. It had frosted the second night. Her rumen content looked like all leaves that she apparently stripped off with her gums. All the other cows were fine. - There is a breed tendency for some continentals to bloat. I think this kind of (big muscled Char or Limi) cattle just plain eat more. Every day is Thanksgiving for them. - I lose one to bloat every couple years. Over half are purchased stockers on feed. The rest are purchased cows on clover pasture. I can not remember losing a home raised cow... So maybe you can select for resistance? [/QUOTE]
