Compared to last week, not enough Alfalfa for a market test. Alfalfa/Grass blended hay traded steady to weak on limited comparable receipts. Grass hay traded 10.00-20.00 lower. Straw traded mostly steady. Supply light to moderate. Demand moderate. Buyer attendance light to moderate. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
