======================================================================
Special Note:
Next release date will be Wednesday, Nov 26th.
Compared to two weeks ago hay sales sold mostly steady.
Demand has picked up a little in the last two weeks as some ranchers
have sold cattle and now have a fairly good idea of what they may need
for winter hay.
Horse owners ("stable" on the report) are also buying top quality hay.
Several loads of small squares have been going out of state to customers
in the eastern area of the USA.
Majority of the contacts have their 2025 hay baled with a few other
neighbors still baling some alfalfa.
The rest of the fall crops slowly getting combined and hauled to the
bins or feedlots.
