Ranges. Stock in
Good Condition

/ The April l Montana range
and livestock report of the Blu
reau of Agricultural Economics,
reported range condition for
the state as a whole was rated
at 86, the same as a year ago
at this time and two points
above average.
March weather was generally
mild, the report said, with only
the southern part of the state
receiving any appreciable
amount of moisture.
BY April l, the lower ranges
were beginning to green and it
was expected that range grass
would make a rapid growth
! providing the present warm
weather continues In most
areas there is sufficient mois-
ture to start grass, but the
northern half of Montana east
of the divide needs rain, since
the amount of precipitation has
been very small since Deem
Der. The present supplies of top
soil moisture will not maintain
growth very long and winds are
tending to deplete it more rap
idly than normal.
West of the continental divide
and across the southern part of
the state, top soil moisture sup
plies are very favorable.
The supplies of old feed on
ranges are short following an
open winter of heavy grazing.
The carryover of hay and feed
grains will be small in most
areas, and some localities in
the north and west sections are
running short.
During March the greatest
improvement in range condition
occurred in the northwestern
counties, where ranges, which
had been dry all winter, were
stimulated by late storms.
Cattle condition, reported at
88, was one point higher than
a month ago and the same as
a year ago. During March, the
two districts in the western
part of the state showed the
greatest improvement in the
condition of cattle. Calving has
been progressing in the western
half of the state with generally
good calf crops reported to date.
Since the winter has been mild
and cattle have come through
well, it is expected that the calf
crop will be large all over the
state.
Sheep are also reported at IS,
the same as month and
year earlier. Present favorable
condition of breeding herds in
dicates good lamb crop. There
has been considerable lambing
in the western portions of the
state and lamb crop percentages
are good. Weather so far has
been ideal for Landing.
