Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa blends sold mostly 30.00 lower. Grass Hays traded 10.00-30.00 higher compared to a light test. Straw large bales sold steady to 5.00 higher, with no comparison for small bales. Demand and buyer attendance was light, with moderate supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
