Small
Acreage - Manure Management
There is an estimated 8,000
horses in Boulder County. Figuring one average horse generates 5
cubic feet (350 lbs) of manure per week, each year over 2 million
cubic feet (over 77,000 cubic yards) of horse manure must be handled.
Used properly, it becomes a great soil amendment. Without informed
management it becomes a source of water pollution.
