Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa blends sold mostly steady to 15.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Grass Hays traded firm on a light test this week and with limited comparable sales. Straw large bales sold steady to 15.00 higher, with no comparison for small bales. Demand and buyer attendance was light, with light supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a 10 mile local delivery is typically provided.
