how much do you pay for feed?
my thoughts were(please tell me if i'm correct or not, and what i should change/figure into my conculations, thanks!)
we have 47 acres, and 20 is cleared into field space, right now 3 or so is used for the barns (we have 2 main barns, and alot of out building). how much should we fence in for the field, our old field was alittle over an acer of land, should we make it 2-3 this time? (we're at most getting 2 horses in the next year or so) i'm going to call someone about types of grass to grow. so with the right grass for our area/horses, and enough, we should be able to get away with not buy hay for the summer. . . now how many months is that? 3-5 months? about how much hay a month in winter. my guess was 2 bales a day, does that seem high or too low?
our horses are going to be trail horses, so how much grain would you feed? i was thinking once a day and about 1 coffee can per horse, and Not sweet feed.
can someone tell me if i'm on the right track
