Rock Valley Hay Report

Thursday January 30, 2025

110 Loads
___________________________________________________

Today we had a large volume of hay with the good weather, which also allowed a lot of buyers to come. However the good weather deceased the consumption/demand for hay. As a result, the market was noticeably lower in all classes. Auctions every Monday and Thursday.
