Is it to early to fertilize pastures?

Totally depends on where you are.

IMHO it is never too early to fertilize.
Many in my area speed fertilizer on the snow

Where are you located? Mine was spread about 3 weeks ago.

It depends on location and what type of grass. Here in East Texas, bermuda has greened up but will not actively grow until our night time temperatures stay at 58 or warmer. It was 45 here for an overnight low.

Not too early... get after it.

Talk to your fert rep. They will help you with when to apply for your application.

Everyone here in Idaho is doing it right now. I don't think it's too early.

I put mine on the snow last fall.

Generally no, but it depends on if the area fertilized is subjected to runoff.
Neighbor has a pasture that the river floods in the spring about 3 out of every 5 years.
He blames the popularity of pattern tiling by row crop farmers as being 1/2 the problem.

IDK if grass tetany can be a problem where you are. It can be here in Ohio in the spring. Fertilizing (with nitrogen anyways, or a fertilizer mix that has nitrogen) will increase the liklihood of grass tetany when grass is at the peak of its rapid spring growth. Although, based on the rate of growth everywhere this year in the spring, I would put that risk as unsarcastically low. So, if there is an upside to this slow spring growth, this might be it.
