Week Ending December 14, 2018
Prices on hay were steady to slightly higher this week. Buyers continued to chase
top quality of hay. However, most of the top of the line hay was packaged as small
squares. Buyers of alfalfa/grass combinations had their choice of bale sizes and
shapes. But again availablity was tight. Buyers who did not lock in hay supplies
earlier this year may struggle to fill their needs. Parts of Iowa are reporting
pregnant cows going to market due to shortfall of quality hay for the winter.
