Not sure what your talking about when it comes to hay market . Rock Valley 7/6/23 , Alfalfa - A low of $185.00 ton for 1st cutting . To a high of $252.50 a ton for second cutting
Other than if a guy needs a protein source and if alfalfa is cheaper than distillers there's no reason to buy dairy hay for beef cow's
Softer market probably coming from the dairies that have been loosing money for to long and can't justify paying a ridiculous price and are sourcing protein elsewhere
I'd Rather Try And Fail Then Not Try And Succeed

How old were they and how many were there? Thing is how big and how much did they bring? Some of these heavy cull cows are bringing real good money, some of these guys with 1700 lb cows are getting over 2k a head by the pound. Sell the old heavy cows, replace them with heifers and still be money ahead.

Bob Iowa, I wish I lived next door to you. I would love to have some alfalfa hay. But the trucking is cost prohibitive.
wanna be goat farmer.

Some places let ag producers mow and bale roadsides too. That's up to the supervisors in that state district.
And have you noticed how nice the ditches look when they allow this? The ranchers keep the trash cleaned up so the hay isn't contaminated and the state does not have to pay for as much mowing.
