Bloat In many areas bloat causes continuous worry with the flush of spring feed. Heavy clover pastures are the most dangerous, particularly at night and in the mornings when the dew is on the feed. Access to hay before entering bloat-producing pastures, and break feeding with electric fences, are practices which will assist considerably in reducing bloat danger. Don't keep cows in races or restrict grazing: use commonsense when handling the herd. Remember that ‘stabbing’ a cow must be a last resort as this treatment often ruins their future producing ability.
