Ack feeding animals

[Livia]

I want the livestock fed - easy to just give them all wheat. But the llamas get angry if feed wheat (I don't they don't even need to be fed and it doesn't matter, but let's say I care). If I put lettuce and wheat in Ack's helper box, will he feed both? I assume though he'd also feed that to my livestock, yes? I'd rather not as wheat is easier to grow.

Just curious if anyone has played around. Otherwise I'll just go with wheat and the llamas can be angry as I don't care enough to hassle myself to have to feed the livestock.

NPCs are bad at feeding animals. I don't remember all the details; I just remember that I didn't let Ack nor Emily feed my animals -- which is especially weird considering Emily should know a thing or two about animals.

I never have any of them feed while the livestock is growing - I check on them daily and restock aroma apples myself since I have to pet them then, but after that I just toss wheat in the helper box and never worry about it. This playthrough, even though I just stick with the white horse, I decided to get both horses and both llamas. But the llamas get angry when fed wheat (whiners). Ah well, guess they get to be cranky, since it doesn't matter. I didn't even bother petting my horses for loyalty anymore as it was just a daily task I don't actually need to do.

I think my problem was that I needed two different things. I'm pretty sure I gave Wheat to the horse; I didn't have a Llama since I only need one mount. But the non-mount animals got something else; don't remember what it was, some sort of garbage plant that I had anyway, I think.

In other games I only provide wheat to Ack to feed for the day-to-day. That said, when I have a baby animal that is growing, *I* feed them to ensure they are stocked up on aroma apples.

Yes, in most games I've only ever bothered with the white horse, but I decided just to have all the mounts cause I can. And in a prior game I bought the brown horse too as my spouse's horse. Obviously they don't use it, but the image is it is hers.
