Compared to last week, Alfalfa sold mostly steady on a light test this and last week, with Alfalfa/Grass blends selling 20.00-30.00 higher for large and small bales. Grass hay large bales sold sharply higher, with small bales selling firm on a light test this and last week. Large and small bales of Straw sold weak on a light test, with Corn Fodder trading firm on a light test. Buyer attendance and demand was moderate to good on a moderate to heavy sale supply. Rain for the last 2 weeks diminished demand and attendance, but favorable weather for todays sale likely positively influenced attendance and demand. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
