Cold Weather to Bring Hay Shortage Stockmen Fear No actual livestock losses in the Orem-Geneva area have resulted re-sulted from the sub-zero temp eratures and the heavy snows, according to a check this week, but egg production has-dropped sharply during the past month and stockmen are anticipating a critical situation in the hay and forage supply before long. Hay is reported in short supply sup-ply .now, and unless there is a break in the weather plus an early spring season the hay situation sit-uation is certain to become critical. crit-ical. The shortage may result in marketing beef cattle during the winter months and wh(ite they are not in their prime condition. con-dition. Farm animals consume more feed in the colder weather and many feeders are increasing the percentage of grain and concentrates con-centrates in livestock Rations. The. latter are in good supply and are relatively cheap. Egg production, normally low in December and January, has reflected the unusual cold and the poultrymen of the area are experiencing one of the leanest months in years- Nearly all of the county's livestock is under cover this .vinter and well cared for, according ac-cording to checks.
