Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
I can't figure out what grain is in what bin.
1 of 9: There are two hints to identify the grains.
2 of 9: One is the bag of cattle feed on the floor behind Tex.
3 of 9: It's bright pink. There's only one bin that has pink stuff in it, so that one is food for cows, not horses or chickens.
4 of 9: The other hint is in volume 2 of _A City Slicker's Guide To Ranch Horses_, on the bookshelf in the ranch house.
5 of 9: Here you'll find pictures of corn and oats, along with other grains.
6 of 9: The only ones you have to figure out on your own are mixed pellets and chicken chow.
7 of 9: You might think the one with all the different colors is mixed pellets --
8 of 9: -- but look at the other one. That's pellets if I ever saw it.
