Springs and streams were slowing in Rockbridge County, affecting how producers move their cattle. Many farmers have sold livestock earlier than usual because water supplies were dry, pastures were dry and dying, and it costs too much to begin feeding hay so early. Hay feeding typically begins in late November and extends through April.
