Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending March 02, 2018

  Compared to last week all reported forages sold fully steady to firm. 
Buyer inquiry and demand picked up this week and many contacts said they 
are sold out of old crop hay.  This could be harmful down the road if 
there is limited amount of carry over since it’s a long time till the 
first cutting gets baled. Hay demand has also been very good in Nebraska 
and most producers are out of hay or have a limited supply left to sell. 
Winter weather with some warm up across different areas of the state this 
week. It may not look or feel like it out side, but, by the calendar, we 
are getting closer to spring and warmer temperatures. Some cattlemen are 
calving with other just getting ready to start in the near future.   All 
prices are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn unless otherwise 
noted. Prices are from the most recent reported sales.
