Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold weak on a light test. Grass Hay sold unevenly steady on a light supply this and last week. Large bales of straw sold firm compared to a light test, with no comparison for small bales. Corn fodder traded firm on a light test this and last week. Overall, buyer attendance and demand was light to moderate with a light to moderate sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
