Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  Alfalfa sold steady to instances 5.00 lower.  
Coastal Bermuda sold steady to firm due to demand and freight.  Top 
quality hay is difficult to find this time of year as producers are 
cleaning out inventory to make room for new crop.  The Panhandle had 
roller coaster temperatures throughout the week with little moisture that 
is much needed for the wheat pastures.  Prices for hay and pellets quoted 
per ton except where noted. 

   The Texas Department of Agriculture has Hay and Grazing phone set 
up for Buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-
