The first part of March we had a little smaller volume but it was mostly the rougher hay that that had really been getting beaten up that we saw less of.
This week volume was back up again, and prices remain steady, with a slightly higher demand as a few people are picking up some quality hay and plan to tuck it away for the summer as they are concerned about drought, or they concistently buy hay anyway and are taking advantage of the lower prices.
Good Mixed hay or alfalfa and later cutting of grass are still selling ok, but they want the good stuff as we approach calving season.
small squares: range widely with a lot of them in the $2.00-$4.00 range but good mixed hay or 3rd cutting grass is still $5.50-$6.00
big squares: $30.00-$40.00 for grass and $50.00-$60.00 for 3rd cutting alfalfa or mixed hay 1st and 2nd cutting hay is $35.00
Big Rounds: Grass $35.00-$45.00 and alfalfa or mixed hay $55.00-$65.00
Want to remind people the prices we report sometimes have a wide range, this is reflecting bales size and quality. We sometimes see a wide variation in bale sizes. Generally speaking our round bales are usually 5x5 rounds with an average weight of around 1200 lbs. Most of the big squares we sell or 3x3's and are usually 6-7' feet long (650-700 lbs)
