Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week:  Hay prices sold steady to weak.
Demand and supplies were mostly light to moderate. Market
activity this week was slow. With cattle prices under pressure
many ranchers continue to shop around for hay. Hay movement
was very slow this week as it was last week. Many loads that
are being trucked sold earlier in the summer and new sales
are few and far between. Drought conditions continue to plague
the majority of the state with over 90% of the state in Moderate
to Extreme drought as of Tuesday's update from the Drought
Mitigation Center. Grass hay sold fully steady on mostly
moderate demand for light supplies.  All prices are dollars per
ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.
