I have a question about pasture breeding. I have only hand bred before.
Many of you know that My Dad is extremely ill and was finally discharged from the hospital, and came home to me. My time is limited as I need to care for him. I am NOT complaining at all, but I don't know if I will have time to hand breed this year and I do want some babies for 2007.
I have one stallion, and according to my calender, all the mares will be coming into heat within the same two weeks. I have 7 mature mares.
Can I put the stallion in with the mares and let nature take its course? He is tiny ,less than 28" and some mares are 32.5" I am willing to take a chance that he won't be able to breed them without assisitance, but maybe he can, who knows. Maybe I will bet a couple babies for 2008?
Any advice with pasture breeding?
Thanks,
Robin
