In the hay market, demand remains good, prices remained steady, trade activity remains slow, although trades did pick up a bit last week. Overall, reports have come in that there has been more hay offered for sale by cattlemen, but they remain cautious, only turning loose of a few loads here and there. Southwest contributors state that they are in serious trouble as the drought stubbornly hangs on.
