Feeding once a day

[NeilA]

If during the season you could only feed once a day due to shifts
Would you feed a set amount of mix each day or a limited amount increased end of the week with a tray of barley left for the say for sprinting or say beans for distance

[MIL]

In that instance I’d limit the amount, increasing to a peak on Thursday using Barley as the moderator (sprinting)

Would you feed once Mike and remove say50 per cent barley Monday to 10 per cent barley Thursday ?
I tell you why I ask my club mate runs a shop one of the open all day ones and is struggling to get a system
Staff let him down so he’s doing all hours

Going back about 25 years ago, in New Zealand, one year I took the youngsters to work with me every morning. I left at 5.30 for a 6 am start so it was pitch black when I left. I used a torch to hamper them.
I would put a handful of yummy mix, sunflower, safflower, canary etc on the shelf for their breakfast when they returned.
As soon as it got light I would put them up, they would zoom home, about 18 miles.
In the afternoon they were kicked out for a fly then given their proper feed.
One day I had just let them go and came in to be told my wife was on the phone. She told me there was a huge thunderstorm out there and I must not let them go!

As she said it the sky opened, I thought I'd never see them again.
Half an hour later the phone rang. It was absolutely pouring at home, the youngsters had arrived in a bunch and were in eating their breakfast.

He can only feed once a day though Murray he’s not home in daylight in the evening so it’s more to do with having a chance to feed before work and if it should be measured or hopper or on a sliding scale using barley

Yea I know, I was just suddenly taken with an urge to tell a story.

Yes Neil, I think that's as good a structure as you can put in place given the boundaries he's operating with
