Cow very full - bloated?

[Anonymous]

I have a cow who is in the corral eating grass/alfalfa hay who has been very full, almost bloated for the last 2 days so I have hardly fed her. She comes to the bunk and wants to eat, does not appear to be in discomfort. Why would she be so full? It can't be hay in her stomach, must be air.
