i feel like im going to need a 3rd mill just to keep wheat bundles plentiful.....i have 7 sanctuary animals and sometimes i can feed them twice in a day, so that is 14 bundles in one day. how are we suppose to keep up with all the feed we need and these bundles? if they didnt take an hour (and some minutes), wouldnt be too bad i suppose...one could say "just send tom" but that isnt much help when he's needed for other things....and tom isnt going to bring back 27 of them.
Just make it at night before you go to bed and wake up plentiful.
I suggest you invest your diamonds to expand your Feed Mills' slots. I have 5 sanctuary animals and have 8 slots per mill. Before I go to bed, I load 8 wheat bundles into one mill, leaving the other free. Good luck.Quote:

i stopped feeding mine because I could not remember to make feed and would just whistle them awake.
after a couple of times, they stopped sleeping and no longer require food. I tried it on my second farm as well.
until they fix it, I will be okay with that XD
both mills are fully opened and 3 stars.Quote:

Would be nice to have an option on Rose for the wheat bundles
I have 7 SA as well. I put 9 feeds in overnight on one mill (the other has sheep & goat feed) & then just the odd one on in the day depending on what I’m doing. Some days I’m driving for pretty much 3 hours straight so I put them on then. Or I out 1 on if I’m going into a short meeting etc. I don’t really think about it much, I just shove one in when I think about it. One mill only does chicken feed in the day, so it’s easy to put SA feed on in that mill. The other one does pig & cow, I’ll occasionally pop a SA feed in there. I’d NEVER send Tom for feed...well, not unless I was really really desperate during a Mystery Derby or something. I’ve been playing 3 years and not used him for feed (I don’t often hire him anyway).Quote:

What I do is load up one of the feed mills with bundles when I won't be active on the farm for a while, such as overnight or when I have a long day at work. That will disrupt Rose's schedule, but she will have time to catch up.
Here's the helpful part - the bundles will stay stacked on the mill until I need them, so they don't impact on my barn capacity and are always ready when I need them. Rose just carries on working the mills and collecting the feed, regardless of the stacked bundles.
I hope this helps.
I have 8 animals and I’ve achieved the silly feed achievement, but I nonetheless feed them diligently twice a day...yay for the near-daily tool drop i now get, another axe usually - I put the wheat bundles in before bed but I have noticed that I do shift up my loading habit to include all the goat and sheep feed I load first in order to still have room for now 5 and sometime 6 bundles....3 in each feeder....to feed my 8 animals twice the next day. Eventually that’s going to be 8 bundles each night....which would be around 5 hours in each feeder ! Wow. Thank goodness for sleeping.
Every night before I go to bed I hunt the DD for wheat and fill both my machines (6 slots each) with sanctuary feed. Not because I need the sanctuary feed, but because its the only way to keep the machine running while I'm gone, and there are a LOT of hours to that 3rd star (getting close!)
Every morning I have 36 sanctuary feed waiting for me. I can't use that many, only 3 animals so far, but my friends seem to appreciate it :) I usually sell them. I have other friends posting sanctuary feed as well, so I don't think its uncommon.
I haven't had many issues with keeping up with the feed of all animals. Although admittedly, I buy a LOT of eggs these days. I alternate one machine cow and chicken feed only, and the other machine I go in order of how often they eat - pig feed first, then sheep, then goats, then back to pigs. To clarify, I put in 5 pig feed for 15, then 5 sheep feed for 15, then 4 goat feed for 12 - by the time the goat feed is finished, pigs are ready to eat and I can start all over.
