I'm planning out my farm layout and was wondering… how much grass tiles would be good enough for two 3rd level barn/coops (24 animals)? "Good enough" as in "there's no need to buy hay during warm seasons, nor plant additional patches. they'll be eaten and re-grow in a stable pace".
Is there any sort of formula, or information on how much the grass can grow per day?
EDIT: while I found no formula, as this subject seems a bit complex (depending on available space besides the grass, where the animals ate, etc), I did found an awesome Stardew planner that helped me realize there's a LOT of space in the terrain to be left for grass, as you'll certainly not plant it all.

I think each one eats one grass patch per day, so you'll have to make sure 24 new grass patches grows every day. You can put a 2x2 fence around a patch of grass, and the grass inside will be safe from animals. Make 24 "grass preservation stations" and you should have more than enough grass for all the animals.
