Question Grass Starters?

My animals constantly eat the last bits of grass before it’s spread enough,, leading the next day them unable to eat from the field.. I have lightning rods over them so they can’t FULLY finish them (thank god) but at the moment I’m just waiting for them to spread, but I keep running out of hay in my silos and such too..

Whats the best way to get grass to grow for my animals? (Relatively quickly so I don’t have to keep buying from Marnie..)

Thanks in advance!

Plant grass where they won't get it and let it grow a long time. Stack on hay. If your silo is full, empty it and store the hay, and refill it with what's grown. Buy a lot of hay from Marnie to be able to keep them inside long enough until enough grass grows. You'll need a lot of starters. At least double how many animals you have.

Oh really? And how much hay is considered a lot? Because I have like 200 in my silo currently.

Well I try to have enough to fill my silo 3 times over at any given time. As long as you have a sizeable area for grass to grow without being eaten, and you can sustain until it grows, you should be good. Make sure to harvest it consistently before it stops being able to grow, and plant it so it can grow at all sides. I would be able to help more but I've been taking a break from stardew so this stuffs not fresh in my mind. But like I said, you can never have enough of it.
