Question:

Whats in your feed room?

I get all my feed at one time for the whole month. Well we just unloaded all the grain and my son said mom your tack room looks like the feed store So i was bored and figured i would see what other people have in the feed roomIn mine right now there is8 bags - Triple Crown Senior2 bags - Legends Preformance feed2 bags - 12 % pellets3 bags - alfalfa pellets3 100 pound bags of oats1 bag - calf manna1 max flex ar arthritis supplement1 container sand clearThis is for my personal 5 horses :)

Answer:

At my mom's house, our feed room doubles as the tack room (we only have two horses there now, and neither is kept in a stall at the moment). We pour feed in a large garbage can, but don't leave bags of feed down there because two years ago someone broke in to the tack room and stole all of the full bags we had (along with some other things). Since there are only a couple of horses and they're both fat and on grass 24/7, we don't go through it that fast. Other than that, there's lots of junk at the moment. I doubt there's a saddle in there (only one of the horses is ever ridden, and I'm pretty sure his saddle is in the trailer), but there's lots of random medical/vet supplies and other equipment. My trainer's feed room is separate from the tack room so there's nothing but feed in there.and lots of it. I couldn't tell you exactly how many bags (and of course it changes daily) but there's plenty, and several different types. There's also a fridge with different medicines and stuff as well as some extra buckets and supplements and that sort of thing.
I have: 2 bags Triple Crown Senior (plus one in a trash can) 1 Bag Legends Performance Pellets (plus two in a trash can) 1.5 bags/bales Triple Crown Safe Starch Forage 1 bin full of Southern States brand cat food for the barn cats In my auxiliary feed room (otherwise known as my garage) I have 1 bag of timothy hay pellets and one bag of beet pulp with no molasses. They stay in the garage so I can mix and soak them for my old pony before going down to the barn. This is all for 4 horses/ponies. Actually, 3 of them just get the Performance pellets, and all the other stuff (minus the cat food) is for the 30 year old pony who can't eat hay anymore.
Its is a mixture of locals and imports Mostly the males are involved in steel-ing and mostly the females are involved in iron-ing Hope that helps
I don't buy all mine at the one time, if I did mine would look like yours! lol I buy all my minerals and extras in bulk. So I have sealed garbage bins to keep things like dolomite, salt, seaweed meal, sulphur, magnesium, rosehip granules, biotin, MSM, glucosamine, apple cider vinegar etc. Plus standard paddock salt and mineral blocks. I always have a bag of lucerne chaff and oaten chaff on hand, it is fed every day. We are having a mice plague so I try not to have more than one bag on hand at a time. They go into sealed 44 gallon drums. For the same reason I always keep one sealed bin of complete horse and pony pellets. Also a bin of weightlifter calm (it contains rice pollard, sun flower seeds, pellets, chaff). If I was to go to the store to buy it all at once, it would be 6 - bags of oaten chaff 6 - bags of lucerne chaff (alfalfa) 2 - bags of pellets 2 - bags of weightlifter calm I'm in town 4 days a week taking the kids to school, so I just pick up what I need during the week. I'm lucky I don't have to buy hay (we bale our own) if I did I would be buying 40 bales of grass hay and 10 bales of lucerne hay. This is for 9 horses fed daily or every second day just to get some supplements into them, all are on 20 acre grassed paddocks. Some have free access to round rolls and just get some lucerne hay to top up. I have brood mares that are only on free choice round rolls and pasture, while not in foal.
