By the Numbers

For fun, I thought it may be interesting to categorize our farm by the numbers which constitute us. Here's a brief list of some numbers which reflect a year at Fields Quarter Horses.

This is a look back at 2009
41 foals were born at Fields Quarter Horses in 2009
60 Large Western Bales each weighing approximately 1000 pounds = 60,000 pounds of Alfalfa Hay
45 Round bales of Orchard Grass hay weighing about 1100 pounds each = 49,500 pounds of Rolled Hay
4,000 Square bales of Brome or Orchard Grass hay weighing 60 pounds each = 24,000 pounds
1280 bags of grain weighing 50 pounds each = 32 tons of grain for 2009
10,000 gallons of water per month on average = 120,000 gallons of water/ year
16 mineral  blocks weighing 40 pounds each = 640 pounds of salt
23 cubic yards of shavings per load = 690 cubic yards of shavings in one year = 18,500 cubic feet
180 flourescent light bulbs light the stall areas
25 stalls
3 stall cleaners
2 vets
1 Chevy
and that's a quick look at our farm by the numbers!
