[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6549942, member: 63856"] It can depend what your cattle are adapted to - we have tons of clover here too and we did run into trouble with what's best translated to "inbye cattle" - we had a couple develop waterbelly which is usually only a grain-fed cattle issue. Just so much nitrogen that they developed stones, which then blocked the urethra (or punctured it). Either way their belly swelled up with fluid, between the hide and the peritoneum, typically; one also filled his entire abdominal cavity with fluid which the local vets had never seen... he dropped dead in my yards as the vet was scrubbing up This was with both bulls and steers - no problems since then though.
