As filed

Compared to a light test last week, a much heavier supply of hay on offer today. All varieties of hay and straw sold mostly steady to 20.00 lower. Corn fodder sold mostly 10.00 higher. Supply heavy. Buyer attendance very good. Demand good. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
