Default How much feed to store?

Here I am with a few more "in the future I will need this info" questions!

Well, this is only one question.

How much feed do you keep on hand at a time? What do you keep it in? We live in the humid South, so I am guessing I'd want to keep it in something that would prevent too much moisture. Plus, do you have to worry much about bugs getting into it?

Just trying to think ahead!

I am in the Southwest, I store my hay in a hay shed. We buy our hay here by the squeeze (64 bale average). My old horse is on a grass pellet and equine senior that is stored in sealed garbage cans and kept in the feed room. During our real humid months at the end of the summer I bring the can with senior into our storage room in the house where it is cooler so it will not have a chance to mold, since it has a small amount of molasses in it. The garbage cans I use will hold 3, 50lb bags. Hope this helps

That is perfect information!!! Thank you so very much. I keep my cat and dog food in small sealed garbage cans so that would be a perfect solution for grass pellets and grains. It gets *really* humid here, so I will probably store it in the cooled storeroom during the worst months or if we have tropical weather.

That was a really good question. I was actually going to ask that myself. LOL But you beat me to it. I think it's always good to think ahead.
