Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  Most hay classes remained steady for now; 
ground Alfalfa and Cotton Burrs were 5.00 to 15.00 higher.  Demand for 
hay continued to be moderate to good on limited supply especially for top 
quality.  Coastal Bermuda producers were waiting for rain and hoping for 
a late last cutting.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except 
where noted.
