California Weekly Hay Report
Southern California: FOB Barn/Stack: 20,165 Tons Delivered: 1,900
Compared to last week, Premium and Supreme Alfalfa not fully
tested. Demand good for any supplies that can be found. Supplies are
limited and buyers have been out checking stacks for any current or
early year production that might test for milking cows. Fair and Good
Alfalfa steady. Demand light to moderate, supplies moderate to heavy.
Retail and stable hay fully steady. Demand moderate to good, supplies
moderate. Seeing more interest in barn hay now and the outside hay
getting cleaned up. Production in Antelope Valley area pretty
much over with now. Exporters looking for hay off and on, have been
fairly quiet. Weather pattern has cooled off with a few frosty
overnights, and warming up during day time.
