Farm Chore List

This is a basic farm chore list I have posted in the barn. In the event that I can’t get home to take care of the animals, this will get them by until I get home. I have a list of people I can call to help if I am unexpectedly detained. And a couple of souls willing to help if we go on a vacation. I try to update it regularly, and I add some extra stuff for vacation.

Horse in a barn

Farm Chores:

  1. Feed Yellow Cat – 1 or two handfuls from clear container in feed barn – if you are in a hurry, put her food dish in the hay barn.
  2. Feed horses:  Oats are in 5-gallon buckets in the feed room. Treats are in marked can by the feed. Feed about 2/3 small coffee can of oats each – feed Candy in first stall, Chance in second – you don’t need to tie them.
  3. They haven’t been pooping much in run-in or dry lot, but if they did, toss it over the fence.  Manure scoop is hanging in the hay barn.
  4. Hang two hay bags on the fence if they have pretty much emptied them.  It may take a day or two, because they have hay in the field feeder, but there’s no real grass left so they need lots of hay for cold nights.  I will leave bags filled and hanging in the barn.  If you need to refill, add two to three flakes per bag.
  5. Put lots of hay in the black bin in the aisleway.  It may look full, but add at least a half a bale each day or more as needed.
  6. Fill the water trough if needed, I don’t usually let it get more than half empty.  
  7. Close the barn doors- leave space in hay barn door for Yellow to get in and out.
  8. Check that the electric fence is turned on and all gates are closed.
  9. Text me with any questions.  I may or may not have service in the mountains.
  10. If you have an issue at the farm and can’t reach me, please call our neighbor, TXXXXX at (304) XXX-XXXX.
  11. JXXXX PXXXXXX is our vet (304)588-XXXX / (304)893-XXXX / (304) 694-XXXX.

Thank you so much for helping! I will be more than glad to return the favor anytime you need help!
