We turned the cows out to pasture the other day and there is one cow that has been bloating. Her stomach is not hard so I think that she just got a lot of grass, but I want to be sure that she will be ok. What do you guys think?

If I thought I had a problem cow I'd pull her off pasture, get some dry hay in her gut (and drench if needed).  If it's a mild case like it sounds like, it will probably take care of itself.  Another good idea would be to get the advice of your vet.  A phone call to him is usually free.

It's always best to turn the cows out on grass with a belly full of hay.
