Compared to last week: Alfalfa hay sold mostly steady to 10.00
higher. A two tier market has developed between square and
round bails. Supplies of squares are very tight in western
and central Montana and prices have pushed higher as a result.
Round supplies remain very large especially in central and
northern Montana. However, the round market has inched up in
recent weeks as buyers of square bails in Idaho have started
to accept rounds. Notably the majority of the hay being sold
in recent weeks is destined for other states. Large supplies
of squares are being delivered South to Texas and Colorado,
West to Idaho and Washington and East as far as Pennsylvania.
Local hay sales have been fairly light as many ranchers have
already purchased hay needed for the year and a relatively mild,
open winter has continue to help curb demand. Straw sold steady
on light demand. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless
otherwise noted.
