I've just started to look at current hay prices as I have most of last years crop in the shed. I have sold all my animals, so all the hay will be sold. This is all upland hay, grass and clover mix, one field has a bit of alfalfa in it yet, not much. All put up dry, as I got pretty lucky this year with the weather. I went to the local hay auction this past weekend, similar hay sold for $90-$100 per round bale or $7 per small square. I have some of each. I then went onto craigslist to compare pricing, seems a bit cheaper on craigslist, I found rounds for $65-$70 and squares for $5. Looks like I'll be hauling a bunch of it to auction to get the higher pricing. The other nice thing about selling at auction is that customers never come back with ridiculous complaints or anything like that. I also do not like strangers in the yard, selling at auction eliminates that as well. About the only downsides of selling at auction are the commissions and having to haul it down there about 20 miles. This is Central MN, Zimmerman auction
Do you typically sell directly to buyers? or take to auction?
Is it typical to see higher prices at an auction center?
Should I wait a month or so, is it likely for prices to rise yet?
