Agri-Life Farm & Livestock Weather Report

AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summaries:

 

East: A cold front moved through the region bringing ice, snow and rain. Cooler temperatures followed. Farm ponds were full. All counties reported adequate or surplus subsoil and topsoil moisture. Pastures were extremely wet, making it difficult for both cattle producers and row-crop farmers. Field preparations were on hold. Timber harvesting slowed due to the wet conditions. Winter forage growth was also slowed by the cold weather. Livestock producers increased feeding hay and supplementation. Hay supplies were good, with sales beginning to increase. Cattle were beginning to lose some body condition, but were still in fair to good shape. Spring calving continued. Many producers were turning out bulls for rebreeding. Demand and supply at cattle sale barns were strong. Prices were up from the previous week.
