*Load Count: 37

Compared to last week, alfalfa/grass mix sold steady. Prairie/meadow grass sold steady on a light comparison. Wheat straw sold steady. Buyer demand was moderate on a light to moderate supply likely due to the poor weather. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
