Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Estelline. The latest 2025 raster shows 420 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 85th percentile among 1,863 analyzed Texas localities and the 36th percentile nationally. Hall County reports 7,712 head of beef cattle in 2022, giving HayQuotes regional production context without treating that published geography as live city inventory. No compatible public price benchmark is stored for this market, so the page does not invent pricing. The sourcing graph points to nearby alternatives such as Canute, Oklahoma, 89 miles away with 16,109 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
