Profitable raising of draft horses for farms
Dr C W McCampbell of the State livestock registry board says profitable draft-horse farming hinges on pasture and ample access to a good stallion. A two-year-old stallion can cost about 404 and, with proper training, becomes a solid work horse. Breeding mares can yield several good colts yearly, but exclusive draft-horse farming needs capital and patience due to slow early returns. Feeding, especially silage quality, influences success, and careful handling prevents injuries as colts are trained.
