State-By-State Hay Markets

Missouri—In the Nov. 13 report, not much has changed over the last couple of weeks, moisture has continued to elude the state, as the days have rolled on the growing season has come to an end with the first real cold snap of the year. Grain harvest is generally done for most and some fall tillage is taking place. The supply of hay is moderate, demand and movement has been moderate. Prices are mostly steady. The Missouri Department of Agriculture has a hay directory at https://apps.mda.mo.gov/haydirectory or visit the University of Missouri Extension feed stuff finder at https://feedstufffinder.org

Oklahoma—In the Nov. 14 report, compared to the last report, not much has changed; the demand is slow with little movement. From the weather to the overabundance of hay from past years and the wet hay season, the hay being moved is of lower quality compared to what we normally see.. The next report release will be on Dec. 5.

Texas—In the Nov. 14 report, compared to the last report, hay prices were steady with good demand. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the next available hay report will be Dec. 12.

South Dakota— In the Nov. 14 report, compared to last report, Light demand for all types of hay currently. Corn harvest finishing up as some areas were a little slower waiting for corn to dry down in the field.

Wyoming— In Nov. 14 report, compared to two weeks ago, compared to two weeks ago hay sales sold mostly steady. Demand has picked up a little in the last two weeks as some ranchers have sold cattle and now have a fairly good idea of what they may need for winter hay. Several loads of small squares have been going out of state to customers in the eastern area of the USA. Majority of the contacts have their 2025 hay baled with a few other neighbors still baling some alfalfa. The rest of the fall crops slowly getting combined and hauled to the bins or feedlots. Special note: Next release date will be Nov. 26.
