Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to the last week: Alfalfa hay was fully steady. Supplies in squares continue
to lighten, however round supplies remain moderate. Demand for hay to ship out of the
state lightened slightly over the last few weeks. In state hay sales were mostly 
active this week with ranchers and horse hay buyers actively purchasing hay. Cold and 
snowy weather across much of the state has helped improved demand for both hay and straw. 
Hay prices for mixed grass alfalfa were steady, however demand was mostly good. Straw 
sold steady on continued good demand. All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless 
otherwise noted.
