The Animal Feed Bag is a heavy sack of feed for farm animals. It is the standard way to keep livestock fed from a trough.
Anyone raising animals needs a steady supply of it. One bag lasts a long time, since it empties a little at a time. Its cost is weight, as a full bag is heavy to carry far.
The game counts it as survival gear. Bags are found in great numbers on farms, where barns and farm storage almost always hold one. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The feed goes into a trough, and animals eat from the trough on their own. It works with the animal trough, the small metal trough and the huge metal trough.
A full bag gives about a hundred portions before it runs out. Each fill of a trough draws down part of the bag.
Farms are the natural base for animal keeping, and they also hold the most feed. Keeping livestock near a barn puts the supply close at hand.
Upkeep
The bag empties as feed is poured out. When it is used up, an Empty Sandbag is left behind in its place.
Locations
Barns are the best place to look. Barn crates, metal shelves and other barn containers always hold a bag, and farm storage does too. Garden stores hold one about one time in five, and sheds one time in ten. Outdoor supply stores, general stores and tool stores turn one up now and then. Closets, studios, warehouses and garages hold one only rarely.

Notes
- A barn is close to a sure find, so one farm raid can stock a lot of feed.
- The empty sack left behind is an Empty Sandbag.
- Animals eat from the trough, not from the bag in the inventory.
