Plant more grass.
Be more careful to leave stalks of grass to spread while harvesting, so you have grass spreading from more places at once.
You can also buy hay from Marnie.

You have to buy from Marnie - or you could let your animals starve. The worst that happens is they stop producing.

Put a fence in the grass starter so the animals can't eat and the grass will spread

Well... idea is kinda for them to eat the growing grass. It's always good to have animals eat those while you might grow more grass elsewhere. You'll save on food by a lot by doing that.

on my save i built a wall across the bottom half of my farm and planted grass patches every where, while it was growing i did a few silo's, then untill it got to a big amount in patches i got hay off marnie, untill i had enough grass to be self sufficiant, now with 6 silo's that will keep me all year, and replacing the grass patches this substains me.

This is what I generally do. When the animals aren't out to eat it, I plant a few patches of grass in their yard, then I drop a basic wooden fence post (not metal or hardwood, because we don't want this to be a permanent fence) on top of my newly planted grass. The grass can grow from there, but the animals can't eat the grass on that tile, so they can't eat all of it.

The more spread out you make your patches of grass, the more points it can spread from. So depending on how many animals you have, you might want to get about 5-10 grass starters per barn/coop, but the grass starters from the beginning of spring can last through the end of fall.

buy hay from Marnie, or buy grass starters from Pierre. Given, if you're in winter and don't have money...fish and buy hay
