How much hay do your horses need?

Forage is the foundation of a horseโ€™s diet, and for many horse owners, that means hay. Estimating hay needs ahead of time can help you avoid running short, manage costs and make better use of available storage space.

For help estimating hay needs, preparing a forage sample for testing, understanding hay test results or planning a feeding program, contact your local county Extension office [link]: extension.mgcafe.uky.edu/county

SNAKES! Learn more, fear less! Fear of snakes is common. But fear does not have to lead to panic. A little knowledge can help Kentuckians recognize that most snakes they encounter are not a threat, and even venomous snakes are best handled with distance, caution and respect.

Learn more about snake identification by visiting [link]: kysnakes.mgcafe.uky.edu or contact your local county Extension office.
