As filedLOAD COUNT: 65 Loads Hay | 4 Loads Straw | 0 Loads Corn Fodder
Compared to last Monday's sale a lighter run of hay on offer. Alfalfa and Alfalfa Blended hay sold mostly 5.00-10.00/ton higher. Grass Hays were mostly 10.00-20.00 higher. Demand was moderate. Quality has been less attractive as we see the remainder of 2024 hay inventories make its way out of storage. There are still some premium offerings available but a higher percentage of hay is falling into the fair to good quality range. All prices per ton unless otherwise noted.
