I need specific information on managing a small bluegrass pasture (formerly part of the lawn). I read that lawn chemicals have not been studied for use on such a pasture intended for grazing by horses but that farm chemicals for weed and fertilizer should be used. I need to know what to use, when it should be applied, and where to purchase it. This small pasture is approximately three-quarters of an acre.

You need to start with a soil test to determine fertilizer rates and types. Start with your local county Cooperative Extension office. They can provide you with information that is very specific to your location. You can find your local county Extension office by going to www.extension.org. Enter your ZIP code, and then click on the link titled "Find your local county Extension office."
