  1. My cows have been on a grass pasture. My neighbor has an alfalfa field that he did not cut and it has bloomed. Is it safe to put my cows on that pasture? Updated: December 23, 2010
  2. We have a cow that is bloating. She calved two weeks ago, and we noticed yesterday that she was high on her left side. We administered Therabloat® and in two hours nothing had changed. She was still very high on her left side. We ended up taking her to the vet. He described her bloat as a "dry bloat." He relieved the gas by putting a tube down her. In 10 hours, she was high again on her left side. We have relieved the gas now three times in 24 hours. He's not sure what could be the cause. Do you have any ideas? And what is "dry bloat?"
