Texas Weekly Hay Report, Feb. 28, 2020

Source: USDA ESMIS | Feb. 28, 2020

Compared to last report: Hay trades are steady. Hay demand is still moderate at best, since most producers have already contracted hay for the winter-feeding season. Additionally, winter weather across the state has been very mild compared to years past. As a result, some early cool season growth in winter pastures has eased the burden of supplemental feeding and prevented producers from having to seek additional hay stores, except for producers in South Texas. Drought conditions continue in this region causing livestock producers to cull deeper into their herds and start seeking hay from outside their normal region.

The Texas Department of Agriculture has a Hay Hotline set up for buyers and sellers looking for hay or grazing; the number is 1-512-787-9966.
