Cold, wet weather through most of Texas has temporarily increased cattle farmers’ reliance on feed and hay, according to the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. However, the rains should result in more productive winter pastures in the upcoming months.
“Earlier this week we received some moisture in the form of rain and sleet, and a small amount of snow. Although this has slowed down harvest, it has been a blessing for pastures and rangeland,” said Ryan Martin, AgriLife Extension agent in Motley County, southeast of Amarillo.
