======================================================================
Compared to last report(10-17-25): Hay sold generally steady to 10.00 lower.
Very few new hay sales were seen again this session.
Weather conditions have been ideal over the past few weeks.
Record warm conditions have greatly curbed demand for hay, and some producers
have lowered asking prices in order to move hay.
Many ranchers still have cows turned out and plan on leaving them turned
out as long as weather conditions allow.
Most producers are completely wrapped up with haying for the season with
some finishing up 4th cutting just this week.
Hay supplies remain heavy around much of the central and south central
portions of the state.
Western and northern supplies are mostly light due to summer drought
most sales that occurred at steady money were destined for far western
locations.
According to the drought monitor 51.69 of the state is in Moderate drought
or worse, down 2.62% from 2 weeks ago.
25.16% of the state is in an Severe drought or worse, down 0.11% from
