Yellowstone TV series

[Ffermer Bach]

Just watched an episode, the cattle died because someone threw clover bales out of an aeroplane, and the cattle got bloat. John Dutton said, we will have to burn the field to stop the clover seeding. Is clover so bad in the USA? I try to encourage clover on my fields, and feel a bit miffed if there isn't lots of it here!

I saw that episode and just assumed if John Dutton said it it was true. As a townie it seems like you look at cattle funny and they fall over with an odd sounding disease.

Clover causes death in Missouri cow herds

Here are some tips for reducing bloat in cattle when clover is heavy in pastures.

Final season can't come fast enough but 1923 was very good. 1883 didn't grip me as much.

Never EVER had ANY cattle die from feeding clover hay. EVER. Never heard such sĥìť in all my life.

The other bit of shìť in that quote is burning the field will have zero effect if there was any seed. Since when does burning sterilize any seed set from any seed?

John Dutton was wrong about something? I'll never look at him the same again.

I thine we've established John Dutton doesn't know what he's doing. I'm just shocked a TV show got something wrong.

I always wondered about that one, just presumed the cattle were much more sensitive to the clover because their diet must be very poor grass.

Not going to complain I might be sent on a “Train Ride” home.

Red clover can blow a few up usually needs introducing steady

We have had dairy cows with bloat on fields with a lot of clover in them, have had to stab them with a Red Devil to let them down, just depends on how long they are on the field to graze, think a couple of hours was enough.

So have we. Big difference between bloat from gas in growing clover plants, to claiming they'll get it from eating dry hay. .

Feeding hay prior to putting milkers into a 99% pure clover stand will aid in preventing bloat as well.

Well yes. We have lost cattle from bloat from clover in grass in the past.

But from hay?

Cows will die from bloat on pure red clover

Did they mention staggers from grazing pure grass causing grass tetany

Cows will die from bloat on pure red clover

Cows will die from bloat on pure sub clover, shaftal clover and balansa clover too. Feeding hay and or rumensin will limit both. Haven't lost a milker to bloat in last 20 years since adding rumensin into the dairy ration. Yearling heifers only get hay to stop bloat. But they're also not gutsing themselves like strip grazed milkers.

Would you say that to Rip

Saw cattle die from bloat from gorging on clover in New Zealand. It can definitely happen.

Love Yellowstone. What a fantastic TV show!

I'm in no way claiming cattle don't die from bloat. I've lost to many to say that. But it's a stretch in my book to say they do from consuming clover hay that we grow.

They will bend the truth to fit in with the storyline, make things more dramatic.

I've only seen the first series but I remember one scene where they're driving through the cows, screech to a halt, grab a calving jack out the back, and sprint 30 yards to a cow calving on the open range.
They pull the 'calf' out and the shot cuts to a week old calf running away with it's tail in the air

Yes I did see that and thought it was ridiculous as well. The thing is though how many people would know the difference probably not many
