Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending August 17, 2018

   Compared to last week baled hay sold steady, pellets sold higher.  Demand was 
good for small square bales going to horse owners in several states, moderate 
demand from feedlots, dairies and from producers that had been hit by hail.  
Most of the state continues to look green for this time of year and many 
producers aren’t concerned right now about procuring hay for their winter needs.  
According to the NASS Wyoming Crop Progress and Condition report, 2nd cutting 
alfalfa is 70% harvested across the state.  All prices are dollars per ton FOB 
the field or hay barn unless otherwise noted.
