Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending February 22, 2019

   Compared to last week all reported hay sold steady.  Demand and buyer 
inquiry was good this week from local and out of state buyers. Very 
limited amounts of hay of any quality is left to sell in Eastern side of 
the state. Moderate amounts of hay left to market in the Western side of 
state. Several producers were cut back on barley acres last spring so 
many planted a forage crop or are seed producers so there are a few more 
suppliers of hay in some of the western areas. Seasonal February weather 
across the state has increased the amount of hay livestock producers are 
feeding to their animals. Some of the higher elevation producers have 
been feeding quite a lot of small and large squares for several weeks.  
All prices are dollars per ton FOB the field or hay barn unless otherwise 
noted.
