Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold unevenly steady for large and small bales. Large bales of Grass hay sold weak on a light test this week, with no comparison for small bales. Large bales of Straw sold firm on a light test this week, with no comparison for small bales. Overall, buyer attendance was light to moderate, with a light sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
