Weekly Texas Hay Report

  Compared to last report:  All hay classes traded fully steady on light
to moderate movement.  The Panhandle remained hot and dry and in much
need of rain causing some supplemental feeding of horses.  South Texas
Coastal Bermuda producers have gotten dry as well but reported plenty of
hay available.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where
noted.
