Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending November 16, 2018

*** Next report released will be November 29th ***

   Compared to last week baled hay sold steady with sun-cured pellets 
trading 15.00 higher than last reported price. Quite a lot of hay going to 
out of state buyers with some hay going to local producers. Sun-cured 
pellets going to cattlemen, sheep producers and some horse owners. With 
calves selling lower than expected many cattlemen are holding off on buying 
hay hoping the winter will be open and they can graze cattle out on winter 
pastures before having to supplement them. Warmer temperatures across most 
of the state this week. With colder weather in the forecast for the weekend 
and a nice warm up before Thanksgiving will help slow the feeding needs for 
livestock.  Farmers are starting to seek the light at the end of the tunnel 
with fall harvest coming to a close in some areas of the state.  All prices 
are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn unless otherwise noted.
