Wyoming Hay Summary

Week ending Sep 20, 2019

   Compared to last week hay sold steady. Demand was moderate to good 
from local buyers with very good demand from out of state buyers.  There 
are loads of small squares getting shipped to several eastern states. The 
calendar says fall will begin next week, however snow has been reported 
again to this office in some of the mountain ranges. One report said the 
Big Horns looked really white this week. Valley video timed hay auction 
is today (9/19) and the sale will be reported at 
https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/lsd_mars_2242.pdf it should be 
completed by Friday. From here on out this report will be on the MARS 
reporting system. If you have to old “txt” link as a favorite you will 
have to go to https://www.ams.usda.gov/market-news/livestock-poultry-
grain click on hay, then the valley video hay auction and click the “PDF”
