Ames dairyman Dwight Espe warns wet weather and rapid white clover growth push pastures to favor clover over bluegrass. Reports from southern Tawa farmers cite widespread bloat in dairy herds, with a Page county rendering plant taking in 500 bloated cows in three weeks.

Espe notes a cow may eat 50 to 60 pounds of clover per hour and gas entrapment can block the paunch. Advices keeping cows off wet clover, feeding dry hay and grain beforehand, and limiting time on heavy pasture. If bloating occurs, move the cow, call a veterinarian, and give mineral oil with mild antiferment. avoid strong antiferment like turpentine.
