Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week:  Hay prices sold weak to 10.00 lower
this week in a narrow comparison. Producers continue to try
to move excess loads as warm weather and excess rain has many
producers worried about heavy supplies for the 2017 crop. Hay
sales volume continues to be very light as many produces are
out of hay for the year and many ranchers have turned out
cattle onto grass in many parts of eastern Montana. Grass hay
was too lightly tested this week to trend, however lower
undertones were noticed. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB
unless otherwise noted.
