Local interpretation
What the local hay data shows
USDA mapping identifies non-alfalfa hay around Gholson, but it does not measure how much is specifically Timothy hay. The latest 2025 raster shows 9,124 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 84th percentile among 16,767 analyzed Texas localities and the 68th percentile nationally. McLennan County reports 34,371 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 Little River-Academy, Texas, 51 miles away with 17,177 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 86.1% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
