Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week:  Hay prices sold mostly steady to 5.00 
higher again this week. Demand for Alfalfa is mostly good on 
light to moderate supplies. Hay supplies in Eastern Montana 
continue to help drive the market as cattlemen are having to
deliver hay into that part of the state as available supplies
are near nil. This continues to help improve demand throughout 
the state. Straw supplies are very light across the state. 
Light sales were seen this week on straw, however most sales
were steady to 10.00 higher. All prices are dollars per ton 
and FOB unless otherwise noted.
