Small fires have occurred in Central Texas, and burn bans were in effect. Heavy frost damaged winter oats, winter wheat. The tops of the oats browned and there was no available soil moisture for recovery. Grazing quality and quantity was impacted and will be slower to recover. Stock tank levels were down significantly through the fall and winter. Supplemental feeding was necessary for all livestock.
