[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 924623, member: 15537"] My clover has been amazing this year. it is probably 50% of my forage and keeping up with the grass. I just read another thread about bloat, which got me thinking. If I am not mistaken, milk fever can be brought on by feeding a diet too high in calcium just before birth. Isn't clover pretty high in calcium? My cows have been pigging out on it. I am expecting the first calves any day now. I do have one Jersey - who is 6 years old. She is in excellent condition, almost fat. I also have some heavier milking angus - has anyone had milk fever in straight angus? I do rotational graze with daily moves. I am letting them have a little larger area than I maybe should, considering the risk of milk fever. I have so much grass and clover I have a hard time keeping them confined. It has been coming back so fast and thick. Anyone have a problem with milk fever this year? What would you do? [/QUOTE]
