The Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service is the most comprehensive outreach and engagement program at the University of Kentucky. Our mission, simply stated, is to make a difference in the lives of Kentucky citizens through research-based education. Jointly with our other land-grant partner, Kentucky State University, we take the University to the people in their local communities, addressing issues of importance of all Kentuckians.

Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits at the University of Kentucky. His role in UK Extension is very different than most, as he helps to train the next generation of distillers through his workforce education programs.

How much hay do your horses need?

Forage is the foundation of a horse’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
