======================================================================

Compared to last week:  All classes of hay firm.
Very good demand for high feed value testing alfalfa hay, good demand 
for all other qualities.
Very mild weather for this time of year, record setting daytime highs 
in the 60s and even low 70s.
These warm temps help to reduce the need for supplemental feed for beef 
cattle.
Drought conditions remain very high in the western part of the state 
as moisture remains elusive.
