Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold 20.00-30.00 lower for large bales, with too few small bale lots for a comparison this week. Large bales of Grass hay sold steady to 20.00 lower, with small bales selling weak on a light test. Large bales of wheat straw sold firm on a light test this week, with small bales selling steady on a light test this and last week. Buyer attendance and demand was light to moderate, with a moderate sale supply. Reduced demand and attendance is likely due to rain prior to the sale. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
