Oregon range nnd weather condi tions are very favorable for this time cf year. Very little feeding Is being dono now as snow Is generally off of the ground and stock is back on the ranges according to tho regular Jan uary summary released by the Fed cral-State Crop Reporting Service. Stock ni'Q in fnir to very good condl tlcn With " plenty of feed to carry through the winter. Sheep are stay ing out on ranges exceptionally late and nro , In good condition, uunge feed in some western sections is not up to normal due to dry conditions during the summer and snow in No vember. In Washington tho winter has been open hq far with ample supply of hay. Livestock are in good condition. In Idaho much range has been snow cov ered requiring more than usual feed ing. Hay and food supplies are gen erally ample. Sheep and cattle are in ijood condition. In California new feed failed ; to mako headway during December . because of almost entire absence of rainfall and a long period of low temperatures. Gene ml rain3 covered tlie state beginning Dec. 31, accompanied by favorable tempera tures at nil low elevations nnd pros pects nro materially brighter now; precipitation still below normal. Stock have been kept in fairly good condi tion but stockmen have found it , necessary ar advisable to use large ' amount of hay, grain and cotton- j seed products. Conditions in high moumuin areas are favorable with adequate feed supplies, good desert ranges, ana fairly good snow cover ing In Utah weather has been cold with considerable ( snow la many places. Considerable feeding has been necessary. Huy and feed supnlles are sufticicnt n most sections. Cattle and imcep are in good condition but showed a slight shrink during Decem ber. In Nevada ranges covered in northern and higher sections requir ing considerable feeding. Ranges aro generally opon in the south, A few places nro short of water. Sheep and cattle nre doing well with light 1 oases. Cold weather has beon unfavorable for the fall breeding season. Hay and feed ample except in places where early feeding was necessary. Kan rcs Oregon range conditions show a slight Improvement ovor last month's. Mcst of tlie snow has gone from the ground end the stock are back on the range, consequently very little feed ing has been necessary. In some sec tions lack of snow is causing a Wa ter shortage. Other sections report that feeding will have to begin again if frost nnd fog continues. Feed conditions In New Mexico nnd Texas nro not 03 good as a year ago but generally ample. Montana, Wyo ming and tho western Dakotas have been favored with open weather which permitted grazing and saved the short supply of feed. In Wash ington soil moisture is short to date but Btcek water generally sufficient. Snow still covers somo of the Nevada. Utah, Idaho and Colorado ranges but these states are well supplied with feed. Wheat pastures are very good ' tn Washington and Oregon, so that reed supplies win bo sufficient for n normal winter. California ranges decllned during December clue to cool'-" weatlier nnd lack of molRtnri?. Hnvi weather and lack of moisture. nnd other feeds are cenerallv amnio "except in a few places in Montana. Eastern -Oregon ond North Dakota, j Wheat postures ore very good in I Western Kansas, Oklnhoma and Tex- i a3. Oklohoma's short feed supply has ; been helped with wheat pasture.. Cat He j The condition of Oregon cattle j shows very little change from Inst : month. An unusually lnrge number j nre being held because of tho low i prices. j In the Western states cattle goner- rtlly show a slight decline in condi tion during December but are gener ally in gocd condition. There are few,' thin cattle and losses have been light.' Cattle showed gains with favorable wenther in the Dnkotas and held ' about the same condition in Mon-; tana, Wyoming, Nebraska. Kansas. Aiizcnn ond Texas. Slight shrinkage frcm wenther conditions and the No vsmber storm Is shown in Colorado, j New Mexico nnd Utnh. California cattle lost flesh with cool weather and poorer range feed.
