Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report: Hay trades were mostly steady to 5.00 lower.  
Movement was moderate with hay trade picking up with concerns about the 
prolonging drought taking effect. Demand moderate with some suppliers 
holding on to hay and storing it in barn for now.  Few areas received 
moisture this week.  Quality issues remain a concern with the extreme 
rainfall then extreme heat still taking a toll in many areas. Prices for 
hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted.
