Mormon cricket invasion.If there is anything harder on a pasture than a horse I don't know what it is.

OK, Mormon crickets or a good heavy dose of Roundup. But horses are a real close third.Mormon cricket invasion.
On a 10ac field right?He said 8 month old heifers. At 8 months old they better be 50% the size of a horse or larger.
Because I was curious I looked back at my records. My horse/horses have been running with cows for 13 years. In that time there's been 1334 calves born/raised/weaned here all of them with horses. I haven't had a horse bother a single one. Guess I better start playing the lotto.

Spoken like some one who has never been on any side of a deal like that.Absolutely. Ha
With or without the horse the 10a field isn't going to feed many heifers from 8 to 15 months. Remove the horse and you'll be able to feed 1 more heifer.
If I was the owner of the 10a and the horse and was told I needed to remove my horse, fence it separately, etc I'd tell the renter where his heifers could go. Ha.
A horse will eat enough to feed at least one 800 pound heifer... and pound enough grass into the dirt to feed at least one more.Absolutely. Ha
