Lay down aged cow manure as a top dressing over recently mowed grass. Use bagged commercial aged manure or buy from a reputable bulk dealer. Manure can be used to top dress grass once or twice a year, with the first application in the early spring and the second in the early fall.
We handle manure in the pasture 2 ways. I have chickens that spread it out so it doesn't lie around in clumps. This helps keep the parasites down too as the sun dries it out. My husband uses a drag harrow behind the lawnmower several times a year that spreads out the manure that the chickens didn't get to.f you have a small property with too many horses this is probably your best option. You should also make sure your worming program is up to snuff too because the more horse you have on a smaller property the more likely your horses will have parasite issues.
