Weston County producers reduced herd sizes due to minimal pasture grass and increased hay prices. Pastures were depleted throughout the county and there has not been much late season grass growth.
There were similar comments in Goshen County of overgrazed pastures. Reports from Goshen County indicated the third cutting of hay is being grown mostly for tonnage, with quality reported as poor.
