Idaho Weekly Hay Report

Tons:  9900    Last Week:  11,900    Last Year:  50,500    

   Compared to last Friday, all grades of Alfalfa steady. Alfalfa testing over 
185 RFV is hard to find due to weather conditions. Demand remains good especially 
for high testing Alfalfa and Orchard Grass and Alfalfa mix. Demand light for 
feeder hay. Fires on BLM land this summer where ranchers winter their cattle will 
use up most of the unsold feeder hay this winter. Timothy for export has been 
committed to but no price has been determined yet. While demand has turned light 
on even premium quality horse and dairy Timothy, demand for lesser quality Timothy 
for export is very light. The large carryover of old crop Timothy from last year 
and lower prices have created an atmosphere of caution with overseas buyers. 
Retail/Feed store steady. Prices are dollars per ton and FOB the farm or ranch 
unless otherwise stated.
