Rock Valley Hay Report
Thursday, July 9, 2026
103 loads
Warm day for a sale. Market was up overall after a weeks hiatus. Alfalfa was up slightly with mostly 2025 hay and 2026 first cutting along with a few loads of 2026 second cutting. Grass quality was down overall with prices reflecting accordingly. Cornstalks were steady to slightly higher. Light test on straw with one load of new straw bringing $167.50 and 2025 tops and bottoms bringing lower. Good buying crowd, thanks for coming out. See you next week @ 12:30.

79 loads
Market was up today. Nice weather and good demand, particularly on grass. Alfalfa held steady with a good supply of first cutting on the ground. Grass came back up after a downturn in prices last week. Many nice loads of first cutting grass. Cornstalks were steady to slightly lower. No straw to test. Thanks all for coming out! REMINDER - NO SALE JULY 2. See you the week after @ 12:30

A sale short on Father's day but here's a dad joke to make it better.
"We have decided to outlaw round bales, the cattle can't seem to get a square meal!"
