DOH! The call I am promoting was YESTERDAY! But you can still listen to it by clicking the links below. . .
My first order of business at our new barn is to figure out how to manage manure. I want to do it right and that means from day one. I have been doing a little research on costs of tractors and manure spreaders, but in reality, I don't know how to manage manure for 9 horses (my 3 + mom's 3 + 3 eventual boarders).
I know the systems we have used where I have boarded, what has worked and what has not, but I'm also interested in building great compost for my garden and keeping the pasture green.
I'm going to start tonight by listening to Equine Teleseminar.net's Manure Management call which is led by Peter Moon of O2compost.com. I went to the site and COOL. If you have any interest in composting your horse manure, this site (and this call) are for you. The call is tonight, but as always it is recorded, so don't hesitate to visit Equine Teleseminar to order a copy along with her successful calls in the past with folks like Jane Savoie. She has even promised to bring us Linda Tellington Jones in November!
The call is at 8PM Pacific, 5PM Central. I'll let you know how it goes!

Hey! Congratulations on your new place. Good luck!
And please say hi to your mom.
Take Care, Kim
Wow! That is so exciting! A new place! I am so jealous. Im sure you'll have heaps of fun moving in etc. I can't wait to hear more!
We try to compost our manure here. It's not always easy with a herd the size of mine and no tractor to push the pile up but we keep it covered. The local farmers fight over using it, so we must be doing something right(aside from producing lots of it!) lol
Congrats on your new place! Isn't it fun to wake up walk down to the barn and feed your OWN horses! Hello. My name is Sarah Kress. I own EsKay Equestrians,Inc. in West Eugene. I saw your post about manure management and thought to tell you what I do. I have 10 stalls that are cleand every day. I use a tractor with a front loader and put it in a drop box that gets hauled off twice per month. Good luck to you.
