Weekly Texas Hay Report

  Compared to last report:  Most hay classes remained fully steady on 
moderate to good demand.  Instances of top quality Alfalfa delivered into 
West and North Texas were 10.00 higher mostly due to freight and quality.  
The hay being traded now is Alfalfa or Coastal Bermuda as other varieties 
have been contracted or sold out until next crop.  Livestock owners in 
the Panhandle were busy with supplemental feeding while owners in East 
and South Texas were only having to feed a little hay at this time.  
Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted. ***Report 
will not be released next week due to Thanksgiving holiday.  Report will 
resume Friday Dec 1st. ***
