Where these numbers come from. Prices are Zippalo sales and live listings from the last 120 days, worked out per bale (hay) and per head or per 100 lb (cattle) from the bale/head counts and weights sellers enter. “Paid” is the middle sale price; “asking” is the middle price on listings still for sale. Rain is from Open-Meteo. Drought is the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor (droughtmonitor.unl.edu).
The pressure arrows are a rule of thumb, not a forecast. Drought usually makes hay scarcer and pushes ranchers to sell cattle earlier; good rain usually does the opposite. Always check your local sale barn’s report before you buy or sell.
