is slowly coming out of some of the coldest temperatures in recent memory 
resulting in extremely heavy supplemental feeding. Grass hay demand remains
very good. Abnormally dry to exceptional drought conditions in far western
Oklahoma have advanced to 11 percent, up 3 percent from last week. Moderate to
heavy rains are forecast for the coming week.
