Oats, Cause BLOAT????

[C HOLLAND]

I am planting several acres of oats/rye mix for my cows to graize.
Will the oats be a problem (bloat) I am planting 80% oats w 20% winter rye.

oats wont be a bloat problem but if you feed to much protien while they're on oats they can founder. the rye could make them bloat though if you dont control feed on it

I have pure winter rye seeded,and i graze it in the spring and the fall.Usually let it get to be 4 to 6 inches high,before i turn the cows and calves out on it,never had a animal bloat or even worry about it.I turn them out on the whole field,and leave them there until they graze it off,and then move them on to the next field.
