SHARING OPTIONS: While a few cases of bloat are not uncommon in dairy-beef calves, if it is more prevalent on farm you need to consider feeding consistency and feeding hygiene. While buying for the programme remains slow due to high calf prices, some calves continue to arrive at the demonstration farm. These calves are coming directly from farms in close proximity to the demo farm at John Hally’s in Cashel, Co Tipperary, so there is no need to feed an electrolyte on arrival as journey time is minimal. John has noticed a few calves with bloat issues over the past week to 10 days.
