South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

All prices per ton, unless noted, FOB the stack.

   Compared to last week:  Few reported sales again this week.  Demand
light to moderate currently, buyer inquiry light as well.  Ample supplies
of lower quality hay, high quality hay is much harder to find and is
held in firm hands.  Area hay auctions continue to see large offerings of
lower quality hay.  Beef cattle operators have faced much uncertainty in
regards to their markets and are intent on lowering their costs, which
has also put some pressure on the market for that lower quality hay.  All
hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.

   Alfalfa:  Fair:  Large Squares, 150.00.  Utility:  Large Rounds,
110.00.

   Sun-cured Alfalfa pellets:  15 pct 230.00; 17 pct 235.00.  Alfalfa
Meal: 17 pct 240.00.

   Grass:  Good:  Large Rounds, 110.00.

   Alfalfa/Grass Mix:  No reported sales.

   Corn Stalks:  Large Rounds, 40.00 per bale.
