Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold sharply lower. Large bales of Grass hay sold mostly steady, with small bales selling weak on a light test this and last week. Large bales of Straw sold steady, with no comparison available for small bales. Buyer attendance was light to moderate, with light demand overall on a moderate sale supply. Reduced buyer attendance and demand is likely due to recent hot and humid weather. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
