Utah officials halted sales of Laub's Feeding and Cubing alfalfa hay cubes while investigating reports of horses becoming sick and dying in Utah, Nevada and Arizona. The company voluntarily recalled cubes sold since October 3, and samples are being tested; the cause of the deaths has not been confirmed.
The sales hold and recall may reduce local availability of alfalfa cubes and shift buyers toward other forage, potentially supporting prices for substitute feed. The impact on alfalfa prices is uncertain until the cause and scope are established.
