Week Ending January 11, 2019
Compared to last week alfalfa hay sold fully steady. Grass hay and
ground and delivered hay sold steady. Dehy pellets steady in the East
sold steady with the Platte valley trading steady to 10.00 higher. Demand
remains very good for Dehy pellets across the state with supply getting
very tight. Demand for grinding hay and ground hay was good from
feedlots. Some areas of the state snow has melted and cattle are out
grazing with ranchers not having to supplement as much feed as previous
week. There is a chance of rain/snow mix over this weekend. If there is a
large accumulation of moisture cattlemen will have to start supplementing
feed again that will dwindle supplies of reserve hay. It appears most
potential buyers will procure hay on an as needed basis, not stock piling
large quantities. A lot of talk about trying to bale cornstalks when the
weather shapes up. All sales are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay
barn, unless otherwise noted.
