Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass hay sold weak. Grass hay large bales sold mostly steady, with small bales of grass hay selling week. Straw sold weak on a light test, with no comparison for corn fodder. Supply, buyer attendance, and demand was light for todays sale. Reduced supply and attendance was likely due to rain leading up to the sale. All prices are considered FOB, although 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
