Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending April 20, 2018

    Compared to last week large square bales of alfalfa sold 5.00 to 
10.00 higher with small square bales selling steady. Demand is very good 
from local customers to out of state buyers. Very limited supply of hay 
left in the state. There are a few producers holding some inventory just 
in case they need to supplement their own cattle herds until grass starts 
or if the summer is dry.  Springtime planting continues in some areas of 
the state. Most producers have their small grains planted and have moved 
over to planting sugar beets.  All prices are dollars per ton FOB the 
field or hay barn unless otherwise noted. Prices are from the most recent 
reported sales.
