Sorry I misunderstood, Lif! I too set up the feed for the next feeding,
especially after the PM feeding. But in hot, humid NJ the stuff will
ferment if I soak it too long. So my AM routine is: let the dog out, 
put water on feed, let dog in, feed dog and cat, brush my teeth etc, feed
horses, 
set up dry feed for PM. But you also appear to have a lot more horses than
I do, so
the time factor would be more significant plus in dry New Mexico the
fermentation 
issue probably isn't as great.

the kids next door on the 			trampoline anyway-talk about a good de-spooker!)
