Load Count: 48

Compared to last week, alfalfa sold steady. No comparison on alfalfa/grass mix due to light supply. Prairie/meadow grass sold steady with a strong undertone noted. No comparison on timothy or orchard grass. Wheat straw sold weak. Buyer demand was moderate on a moderate supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
