Load Count: 37

Compared to last week, Alfalfa and Alfalfa/Grass blends sold weak. Grass hay blends sold weak compared to a light test last week. Large bales of straw sold steady to 10.00 lower, with no comparison for small bales. Overall, buyer attendance was light to moderate, with moderate demand on a moderate sale supply. All prices are considered FOB, although a local 10 mile delivery is typically provided.
