Guess I'm more anal than you are.  Each of my hay nets is weighed.  I'm less
anal about concentrates, but then when they only get about 500 gms per feed,
20 gms here or there doesn't worry me.

For me, it's just the opposite.  Hay I'm not too worried about, for one they
have free choice hay in the pastures (since there is only drought tolerant weeds
remaining), and I give between 5-10 lbs. at night in hay nets, depending on the
horse.

I have Albert.  Without him, life wouldn't be worth living.  And my husband,
Mark, but he doesn't follow instructions nearly as well.

Hmm.  That's why I had to part with my husband.  I think the horse was a much
better trade!
