Compared to last Monday's sale, alfalfa/grass blends sold 20.00-30.00/ton lower, coming off a very strong market last week. Grass hays trended mostly 10.00/ton lower. Demand remains very good for higher quality hay. Hay supply was moderate and on par for what is typically seen in February. All prices reported per ton unless otherwise noted.
