Kansas Hay Market Report

****HAPPY NEW YEAR**** 
                       
Ground/Grinding alfalfa movement:   Southwest/South Central 
Tonnage: 8,771/4,978    Last week:  11,090/4,937   Last year: 11,239/4,582
             
Hay market trade activity is slow. Prices are steady and demand has been light 
to moderate, not surprising during the holidays. The sunny skies and mild 
temperatures over the weekend was a welcome relief from the rain, snow and 
freezing cold temperatures we experienced over the last couple weeks. Mud 
continues to be a primary aggravation for most farmers. According to the U.S. 
Drought Monitor, the abnormally dry (D0) category in southern Kansas was 
eliminated due to moderate precipitation there. If you have hay for sale, and/or 
need hay here in Kansas, use the services of the Internet Hay Exchange:

Weekly Montana Hay Report

Compared to last week: Alfalfa hay sold steady to weak. Demand 
continues to be mostly light to moderate on heavy offerings.
Mostly mild winter conditions continue to be the story as hay
use is relatively light across the state. Hay in rounds continues
to see excess supplies and is selling on light demand as a result.
Demand for squares has been moderate to good as many of these
sales continue to go to out of state buyers. Straw demand has been
light and very little straw has moved over the last few weeks. 
All prices are dollars per ton and FOB unless otherwise noted.

South Dakota Weekly Hay Summary

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

   Compared to last week:  Alfalfa and grass steady on all grades.  This
marks the largest volume of hay moved in two weeks. Good to very good
demand for hay with two recent snow storms lead directly into above
average warm winter weather.  This weather trend meant that
transportation of hay was greatly improved from the past few weeks.  Many
cattle yards are less enthusiastic of above freezing temperatures which
will lead to declining feedyard conditions.  Weather outlook for the next
week is expected to warmer than average which will affect bedding demand.  
All hay and straw sold by the ton FOB, unless otherwise noted.

Weekly Texas Hay Report

   Compared to last report:  Most hay classes traded steady; except for 
ground alfalfa sold 5.00 lower as it competes with cheaper rations.  
Trade activity and demand were moderate as we start off a new year.  
Variety of hay on the market at this time used to cheapen rations are 
wheat and millet that feedyards are mixing into their rations.  Coastal 
Bermuda delivered to the panhandle stayed steady to firm due to freight 
but preferred for horses or to start calves in feedyards. Prices for hay 
and pellets quoted per ton except where noted.
