Weekly Texas Hay Report

  Compared to last report:  Hay traded mostly steady to firm as demand 
increased and supply decreased.  Finding the quality and variety of hay 
has proved more difficult as most hay has been contracted.  Supplemental 
feeding was in full swing even in South and East Texas as they are 
experiencing winter weather.  Coastal Bermuda movement has picked up in 
those areas.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where 
noted.

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing Hot Line set 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-
877-429-1998. The website for the hotline is:
