Wow. I'm no help either.
All I can offer is, perhaps a good vet can come examine the pasture/situation?

Hopefully someone here has a clue what's going on..

I'm no help either, but alfalfa can cause bloat.

I put a bloat block out this afternoon. Tomorrow I am releasing a group of cows & newborns into a hay field.

Do you have Johnson grass in the pasture ? The only other thing I could remotely think of is all the rain we have got this summer in Alabama. My grass is lush and still growing . We have mostly fescue with a mix of clover , Bermuda and lots of crabgrass . But no bloating. Let us know if you find out ! Hope you get an answer.

Acorns?

Acorns?

Nope and it's only some of these bloating it's very light bloating now but it's still mind blowing
