We have a bunch of stable manure. Would this be worthwhile as a top dressing for a horse paddock?

Keep up to date soil tests because most people have shavings in the manure and that makes the soil need lime

I started spreading my barn muckings on my own fields and pastures last year. Noticed a definite difference in the growth..."missed" a row the first time, and 2 weeks later the surround growth was a foot high while the missed row was maybe 4".

Only thing I'd be concerned about is grazing or cutting hay right after spreading. I try to give a couple months after spreading before I put animals back on that pasture. That might be excessive, but works for me.

Tom,

Thanks for the feedback. How I plan to approach this is to simply pile up the horse manure for awhile. After I get a large pile, put into some kind of spreader and apply to pasture.

After just saying that, seems to me a much better idea is to load the manure into the spreader as I clean the paddocks and pens, then spread when the spreader is full.

Your thoughts?

Horse manure is good for pastures, u dont have to wait 2 months, a week is more then enough, i wait about 3 weeks before making any hay, and most of the time my manure is spread while the cattle are still on the pasture never had any problems, u will notice a big difference after spreading of how the grass grows.
