Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold mostly steady but a weak market undertone was noted. Grass hay blends sold mostly steady to 10.00 higher. Straw sold steady to 15.00 lower, with Corn Fodder trading firm on a light test. Supply for todays sale was heavy, with moderate to heavy buyer attendance and moderate overall demand. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
