Responsa for Shabbat 243:9

מיתיבי אמר להן רבן גמליאל הואיל ושלא בפנינו עשאו נרד בו אימא הואיל ועשאו נרד בו

an Israelite may feed [his cattle therewith] after him, but if [he gathers] on the Israelite's account, it is forbidden. If he draws water to give his cattle to drink, an Israelite may water [his] after him, but if on the Israelite's account, it is forbidden. When is that? If he does not know him; but if he knows him it is forbidden. But that is not so? For R. Huna said in R. Hanina's name: A man may stand his cattle on grass on the Sabbath,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., on grass attached to the soil, and we do not fear that he may thereby come to cut grass for his animal. ');"><sup>14</sup></span> but not on mukzeh<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Fodder stored away for later use; this may not be handled on the Sabbath as mukzeh (v. Glos.); hence its designation. ');"><sup>15</sup></span>

Teshuvot Maharam

Q. A set aside two days as Yom-Kippur. [He would fast on the 10th and 11th of Tishri], If Yom-Kippur should fall on a Thursday [for A, therefore, Thursday and Friday], may he ask his neighbors to prepare meals for him on Friday for the Sabbath?
A. No, but he may partake of anything his neighbors and friends have prepared for themselves.
