Movement was moderate. Reports of rain was either feast or famine across 
the state which gives hope of more hay being available in future months.  
Coastal Bermuda producers in East and South Texas received some rain that 
should help with one more cutting as some are currently in the field 
baling.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted.
