What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Drought conditions are affecting local livestock sales in Woodward. Short grass pastures require ranchers to feed more hay and cake, and hay is scarce in the area. Some observers predict that feedlot inventories in 2027 will be smaller than they were in 2026, as many cows were sold due to the drought.

The lack of moisture is impacting grass growth and increasing the need for supplemental feed, which affects the cost of keeping livestock. The resulting sales activity and inventory changes impact regional agricultural markets.
