Today in Madison county, most hays trading mostly steady in small packages. Smaller offering, higher grade small packages trading 2.00 higher. Large packages reflecting the same trend, mostly steady with some higher grade hays trading noticeably higher. Another good weather sale day drove good demand for a solid offering.
