Compared to last Monday, not enough Alfalfa for a market test. Alfalfa/Grass blends traded steady to 10.00 lower while grass varieties traded steady to 10.00 higher. Large bales of straw traded weak while small bales traded firm on a very light test. Fodder traded 30.00-40.00 lower. Supply moderate. Demand good. Buyer attendance moderate to good. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
