Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Timothy grass hay sold weak on a light comparison. Orchard grass sold strong. No comparison for straw sales. Overall, buyer attendance was light to moderate with moderate demand on a light sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
