Weekly Texas Hay Report

  Compared to last report:  Most hay classes traded steady.  Instances of
5.00 lower on the top end of the Alfalfa which was mainly due to limited
sales as buyers and producers prepare for new crop.  Movement was slow
with pastures in good shape for livestock and no supplemental feeding was
needed.  Producers were busy in their fields cutting new crop and
anticipate new crop prices to become established in the next several
weeks as contracts are already in conversation. Prices for hay and
pellets quoted per ton except where noted.

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing Hot Line set
