They bloat, especially if they are let out when they are hungry. Bloat is where gases accumulate in the rumen and cannot be belched out properly, and the rumen distends so much that it puts pressure on the lungs and can cause the animal to asphyxiate and die.

Yes, those are one of their favorite forages to munch on. Just be aware that the cows are not hungry when they're put out in a pasture or field of alfalfa. If they're hungry when fed alfalfa or are put on alfalfa pasture when there's still dew on the plants, they run a high risk of bloating.

Can cows eat dandelions?

Cows can eat just about everything. Be wary about stink weeds and alfalfa. If cows eat to much alfalfa, their stomach will bloat and they can die. If you have dairy cows it is best to let them out in pasture that does not have any stink weeds. They will eat those and their milk will become sour. Make sure that the cow gets dewormed or it could become very sick. The only thing with eating dandilions is that they can get worms from them. The little leaf bugs do cause sicknesses. Sometimes it is better to go with pellets instead of just grass.
