Demand was good from backgrounding and feedlots with light demand from
owners of cow/calf pairs as many of those are headed to summer grass.
A lot of conversations this week on where new crop hay should cost.
Years past most start out where they ended the previous season and adjust
up or down from there.
Several variables in today's hay world, in the Panhandle, this week,
some hail damage to hay fields.
Weather service is calling for a frost or freeze in some areas of the

If that happens it will take some tonnage out of the marketplace.
Some producers are trying to double crop pivots with short season forages
to get more tons of feed for the winter.
Spotty rain showers across the state have slowed corn planting.
