I've been hovering over the idea of stopping my hay production and turning my pastures into gelding storage. I'm asking opinions on the matter as I am unsure on the price of hay, as I haven't bought any for a while, and if it'll benefit more from geldings or supplying my own hay.

edit:

I currently have 2 pastures full of trainees but if I was to convert all the pastures to geldings I'd have 700 in pastures and 925 stalled horses needing hay.

I think it is safe to change one pasture to geldings. You will need a few round bales, but not many. If it does becomes expensive then thin out the show horses and put back to hay. It's good to thin out the least profitable show horses every few months anyway.

Thanks, I've decided to convert the one pasture into geldings as you've recommended :)
