Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report: Hay trades were steady on light demand and 
trading activity.  Warmer temperatures and sporadic rains have offered 
temporary improvements on pastures and provided some relief for livestock 
producers, which has slowed hay demand.  The general consensus is hay demand 
will pick up following the first real freeze and after fall harvest.    

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-
512-787-9966. The website for the hotline is:
