Last Saturday I looked at her from a distance in the field and she was deffo looking larger than when I last saw her (On the Sunday before....) And my sister commented too, so it isn't just me!!
Is this just what happens in spring? When it started getting warmer she did change fields, but it is no different to her last one grass-wise?

Is this normal!?! Her feed has not changed, except I just found an email stating that the yard was not supplying hay, just haylage from now on - I don't think they have started the changed over to it, but would this make a difference to her weight if they had?

Any ideas??

sparky has this, they all suddenly bloat with the new spring grass, or that is what i am told - is she out 24/7?

Yes, have a feeling it has something to do with spring grass and the very warm weather, although I don't really know much about it so was hoping someone could explain a tad to me whether it would make a bit difference etc...

No, about 5 hrs atm (NOT my doing, if it were my choice she would be out for longer!)
 
If you look at her "from a distance in the field" - how big is the field? Id be careful that she's not out on too much grass.

Mine have never got bloated any time of the year, but Im extremely careful about their grass.
